brianorca, to memes in My wife every two weeks:

It is now but the comment mentioned 2014.

brianorca, to memes in Flight sim people are on another level

They might already have a pilot license. This setup costs way less per hour than actual flying. And it lets you try things that would be risky in a real plane. Or you can practice bad weather or equipment failures safely, so you can better handle a real situation if it occurs.

Sometimes only one end, making them a quiche.

Pretty sure chips are toast in this diagram. Or maybe it depends if they are potato or tortilla chips.

brianorca, to memes in This is for something else.

You could still cause a stampede.

brianorca, to risa in I hope this ship holds together!

Many more recent cars will do this automatically at high throttle conditions, such as acceleration to pass.

brianorca, to risa in If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight

You can set up a command line to start VLC using the OS’s built in task scheduler.

brianorca, to asklemmy in Did any coal-in-your-stocking type of things happen to you on Christmas Day?

Ouch. Many years ago, my car was totaled while driving to a family Christmas Eve party. (Rear ended when the freeway traffic slowed down.)

brianorca, to linux in Darling runs macOS software directly without using a hardware emulator

How long until they stop delivering apps with Intel support, which would break this tool?

brianorca, (edited ) to science_memes in uncomfortable levels of eye contact

No. I rounded off the numbers. A Mercury day is exactly 2 Mercury years. Which is why it’s “in resonance”. That means that gravity will speed up or slow down the rotation to keep the ratio stable over time.

Mercury orbits the sun every 88 earth days. It spins on its axis every 59 earth days, relative to an outside observer (sidereal day.) That makes the solar day (from sunrise to sunrise) 179 earth days long.

I mean, when you wake up normally “fully refreshed”, how long can you go? 16-17 hours is all I get, unless I really push it. The description doesn’t say you don’t get tired, just that there’s a 20 hour cool down.

brianorca, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

But when you wake “fully refreshed” you are only good for the next 16 hours. Then you will be tired like any end of day, and out of sync with everyone else’s schedule, and still have to wait for the 20 hour cool down.

brianorca, to memes in Calculus? Nah, bro, that's easy stuff

It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as “72 regular rolls” when it’s only 12 physical rolls.

brianorca, to science_memes in all head, all the time

One of the previous theories had the head in the middle and tail at the edge of the arms. But this study showed that the DNA markers for “head” are expressed all through the starfish, and there are no “tail” markers at all.
