NaibofTabr,

Ann Leckie’s Ancillary series would make a fantastic space epic, if handled properly.

NaibofTabr,

Understand the incentive model.

Dating apps are like every other app - they make money by keeping users engaged and using the app. If you find a good relationship, you don’t need the dating app anymore, and they lose two users.

People who have success on these apps do so in spite of the app.

You can still use the app to meet people who are also looking to date, but don’t expect the app to help you do it. In fact, expect the app to get in your way and mislead you. Take any advice the app gives you about who is a good match (or a bad match) for you with several large grains of salt.

NaibofTabr,

Just enjoy the gritty crunch that tastes just like chicken

NaibofTabr,

Does he eat nuclear energy? Or does he like chow down on some humpbacks every day?

Is Godzilla the real reason the Japanese whaling fleet won’t stop?

NaibofTabr,

Well he’s definitely not in engineering.

NaibofTabr,

I think Data just sitting there like everything is normal is perfect for the ending.

NaibofTabr, (edited )

ambiguity (even potential ambiguity) is a larger time waster

NaibofTabr,

Thermonuclear reactions are very bright

NaibofTabr,

Careful, next he’ll ask you to take his woad.

NaibofTabr,

Sort of… we can 3D print walls out of specific concrete blends that run nicely through an extended hose system that runs from the mud pump to the print nozzle. But, concrete has a limited time as mud before it starts to harden, so you can only print for so many hours before you have to stop and flush out the pump and hoses before it turns into rock, and the concrete mix can’t be too chunky (like including gravel) to flow through the system.

Also, if you get all that right, then you can print walls… but not structural frames that would support a multistory building, or plumbing or electrical wiring or insulation or windows or roofs…

We’re a long way from 3D printing a building wholesale.

NaibofTabr,

No, bad bike infrastructure is the standard.

NaibofTabr,

Wheeler’s delayed-choice experiments demonstrate that extracting “which path” information after a particle passes through the slits can seem to retroactively alter its previous behavior at the slits.

from the Wikipedia article on the double-slit experiment

If you read through Wheeler’s delayed choice experiments, all the variations he went through to try to pin this down, well… it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the waveform doesn’t collapse until the moment that someone looks at the data. In fact, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the universe is laughing at us every time we try to get a specific answer. This statement from the conclusion is absolutely bonkers if you think about it:

The fact that it is possible to decide whether a wave or particle feature manifests itself long after—and even space-like separated from—the measurement teaches us that we should not have any naive realistic picture for interpreting quantum phenomena.

The method of observation determines whether the photon behaved as a wave or a particle, after the measurement is done.

Our results demonstrate that the viewpoint that the system photon behaves either definitely as a wave or definitely as a particle would require faster-than-light communication. Because this would be in strong tension with the special theory of relativity, we believe that such a viewpoint should be given up entirely.

The photon behavior as recorded changes depending on how you examine the record, even “long after” the record is made and the interpretation should be fixed. It quite literally depends on how you look at it.

NaibofTabr,

OK, but who is going to replace Sean Connery?

NaibofTabr,

If it doesn’t have a weird stabby sex scene it’s not a proper reboot.

NaibofTabr,

And you can support wonderful, consumer-friendly businesses like TicketMaster at the same time!
