The latter. I also love chocolate but between op and the heavy metals I am also facing an unhappy choice.

I am still a little confused as your southern neighbor. What if the table is made out of maple tree?

That’s like almost thirty entire* minutes strung together. Jesus Christ how???

I am pouring one out to this little champ. Stripping HDCP and letting me... archive streaming services from 2016-2023 RIP (lemmy.world)

What killed it, well after reviewing some PS4 gameplay I noticed that it was having audio issues, like it would allow some sounds but not all. It was almost as if it was receiving a 5.1 audio output but was missing the centre channel. Even though the PS4 was set to stereo....

If you have a hot air rework station, that’s one way. Because then it is temp and flow controlled and you can choose a suitable nozzle and direct heat to small spots.

True, there are caps but no electrolytic caps.

My money is on a cold solder joint or two on a couple of the IC pins but that’s just a wild guess.

Custom shell prompt tips and tricks?

Recently I stumbled over an article, about how to customize your shell prompt. What really surprised me, is that it lacked one of the most basic tips I learned nearly 20 years back: Always display a timestamp in the prompt, to be able to check how long a process is running or when it ended. (Don’t need it daily, but every so...

I customized mine to show git branch when in a git project directory.

I would argue that we have evidence for which the theory of dark matter and dark energy is a fairly suitable theory.

Easy. When scientists come up with a verifiable theory that explains observed gravitational effects in the universe that can’t be explained by general relativity, given visible matter.

While we haven’t detected dark matter in a lab, it isn’t on the same level as a metaphysical soul.

I’m not aware of any physical phenomena for which a soul is the best theory currently available.

Whereas dark matter is the best theory so far to explain observed gravitational effects^1 that cannot be explained by general relativity and detectable matter alone. Yes, it may be due to something else (other theories exist and maybe someone will come up with another better one).


1 includes: “formation and evolution of galaxies,[1] gravitational lensing,[2] observable universe’s current structure, mass position in galactic collisions,[3] motion of galaxies within galaxy clusters, and cosmic microwave background anisotropies.” - wikipedia

I meant “visible” as in EM spectrum.

We can “see” the effects of dark matter.

I am well aware and I have already said as much.

I’m not sure why you’re missing my point.

Wikipedia:

“In astronomy, dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that appears to not interact with light or the electromagnetic field. Dark matter is implied by gravitational effects which cannot be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present than can be seen,…”

Unless you’re aware of some case where dark matter has interacted with light or EM fields?

So we see these gravitational effects that either means general relativity falls apart under conditions we have yet to identify or there is more mass than we can detect with the EM spectrum.

I’m not arguing against the existence of dark matter. You’re misunderstanding my intent.

I’m not even arguing. I’m just pointing out that your original statement isn’t quite correct.

But Dark Matter is a great scientific theory. It probably will hold up. I can’t wait to see what we learn next!

Anyway I probably shouldn’t have even responded because it doesn’t matter in the big scheme of things and my thumbs are tired from arguing against bigoted assholes in other places (I’m on a phone) so… peace

Sure, yes, but my point was that we don’t have evidence specifically for the existence of dark matter.

We have evidence that is not explained by visible, detectable mass.

Dark matter is the current favored theory which happens to explain discrepancies between what is observed and what is expected.

But I don’t think we can logically conclude dark matter is the only explanation, which is what your original statement seems to imply. It is the best explanation that we have so far.

If we place objects on the dining table the night before and observed them lying on the floor the next morning, we can’t claim “we have evidence for sleepwalking residents.” There may be another theory that explains it, such as: the cat is knocking the things off the table. We need additional evidence to determine which theory fits or else come up with a new theory.

Hopefully I am making sense here lol
