You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a live Alligator Gar in Bass Pro in Missouri.

Talk about a fish I never want to swim with, even if I’m not apatizing. 40kg of fresh water nope

(edit: wrong unit and extra 0, they can get way bigger than 40kg)

Pointing out earth worms are invasive in many places has been my go to recently.

I’m that guy growing magic mushrooms and telling people about how awesome fungi are in general now that I know more about them

I’m doing my part!

rockSlayer,

So you can buy the spores online and have them legally shipped to your door basically anywhere in the US from a site sharing it’s name with the garden humans first lived in before Eve ate the apple

Once you’ve got those they grow in a shotgun fruiting chamber, a type of fungus growing that is used for many kinds of mushrooms and is completely normal to talk about.

You take some vermiculite, brown rice flour, and some jars, sterilize the dirt (boil it), put it in jars, and squirt some spores into the jars

Leave them in a drawer to become a full cake, then into the fruiting chamber. Spritz with water 3x daily and in a month you’ve got more mushrooms than you can cook with

My first harvest was a little over an oz of dried goodness for an investment initially of about $150, and I can do it again at least 2 more times with current supplies

This post is so true. I work in local government in a state that has TONS of money, yet our systems to control the information for agents to determine if you keep your kids or not is still based on MS-DOS. it’s insane to see in 2023

  • Saizaku,

    Using something like DOS is neither preferred nor more safe. Last time MS DOS received a security patch was 23 years ago. It’s open to pretty much any security vulnerability you can think of. In case you depend on a DOS app it’s preferable to run it on a modern OS that is DOS compatible, windows 10 32bit for example (I believe Win11 still has support). Or even better sandboxed in an emulator like DOSBox on a more secure OS.

    I really don’t want to rely on security through obscurity… MS-DOS was written back when every programmer trusted everything that ran on the computer, security wasn’t even an afterthought, and encryption was the sole domain of math nerds, conspiracy theorists, and the nerd equivalent of doomsday preppers because it was “too computationally expensive.” Its sole saving grace in terms of security is that it doesn’t support multitasking so malware can’t run in the background, but you can just target whatever software it’s running, instead.

    I love the idea of this, but the size of their chest cavity leaves me wondering if it’s feasible.

    Would there be heavy ligament anchor points on the bones? It seems like there would be evidence of a completely different muscle build, maybe simply by the size of the spine bones themselves. I'm no bonologist, though.

    And yeah, that chest is gnarly (but I'm no chestologist).

    Epicurus0319, (edited ) in Baby how cold is it oitside?

    Kelvin mostly seems to be used to measure unimaginably hot (like ovens, metal forges, stars) or unimaginably cold (e.g. planets beyond Mars) things, Fahrenheit still exists only because the US Congress was lazy (though as an American I do find it somewhat useful for comparing weather and Earth’s climate zones in finer detail than just -1 in winter and 28 in summer), and I’ve never heard of that last one.

    Donkter,

    Kelvin is useful in physics because it’s always positive, reducing the amount of shenanigans.

    They’re doing it all wrong. They need to build it in space.

    Guys I was taking the piss.

    oxideseven,

    This is exactly what I was thinking. Can make it as big as you want and no need to dig out the earth. Just a few “acceleration rings” and then the detector. I guess if it were feasible right now we’d be doing that though.

    Enkrod,

    Everyone underestimates how HEAVY the collider is, how often sensor modules need to be changed and mainly that the ring is just one part of the entire group of big buildings you need for this.

    You need to create different beams of different makeup from different sources, different loops to make the beam hit sonething and maybe return the products into the loop, you need extensive sensory equipment where the collision happens and different sensors for different experiments.

    It is just SOOOO much cheaper, easier and better to build it underground instead of in space.

    ToeNailClippings,

    I didnt underestimate anything. I was taking the mick

    Having said that, the ISS didnt go up in one part, did it. Though there might be problems with cosmic rays and co interfering with the accuracy, etc.

    improbably_me,

    They already exist. Just wrangle a couple of neutron stars and put them next to each other. Bada Bing Bada Boom, Bob’s your uncle

    This was really cool! On mobile I had no idea how to interact with the mixed up files though, where you need to “put hidden URL pieces in chronological order”. 🤔

    All historical CERN expenses combined are a tiny fraction of the yearly expenses of the combined EU miltary

    Raxiel,

    Hold a particle in your hand first, then your dick. The relative difference will make your dick seem at least ten times bigger!

    They call me quark cause I’m always down to top and up to bottom and I’m charmingly strange. Also I’m very very small

    Gabu,

    Do you also mysteriously disappear whenever there’s anyone interested in what you’re doing?

    AngryCommieKender,

    I’m just amazed that funding $22 billion is even an issue when the project is being backed by the EU, and partially the US, since we never built ours…

    That’s a rounding error for both entities
