They can, actually… Many nuclear bases in the US use floppy disks for code to reduce the risk of a cyberattack and because upgrading that intricate of a system is prohibitively expensive for how little good it would do.
As others have said, manufacturer telemetry. Just the usual built-in spyware that people are fine with for some reason… Everyone does it, they’re just bad at hiding it in this case.
Lucky. In my case the first went wrong, so I got the obsessive-control emotionally abusive don’t-you-dare-breathe-wrong type… Yay PTSD and a suicide attempt at 12 years old… Yeah I’d prefer the near death experiences, but at least not wanting to die.
All of them? At what point do we consider new atom formation to not be a part of the big bang? Isn’t it still ongoing, at least until expansion and atomic formation stops?
These are people who willingly choose to live in Antarctica for entire seasons or even years… Yes, I’m sure the overwintering crew would go out in shorts when it gets up to -10°C. I would lol.

He’s saying this community is for memes (a type of funny image or joke, usually a cultural reference). So this is the wrong community for the discussion (and I honestly don’t know where it would fit). Edit: I noticed there is a meme, but usually the caption is just for a very short description for the visually impaired having it read to them.
Also, they’re taking your message as saying that science shouldn’t be trusted (a common anti-vaccine and anti-education argument made by many Christians) - that’s what they’re referring to about the “man with the megaphone and sign.” I don’t know if that’s what you were intending to say or not, but that’s how it came across. Your point makes sense, but they’re assuming your conclusion is that science in general is bad - mostly because of the recent political issues regarding that. Hope that helps.
True. But if top speed allows for 14 meters, surely a 1.5 to 2 m loop should be possible (especially given a cat’s incredible reflexes and control given a lack of friction or even freefall). I’d guess that a cat, given enough motivation, could keep running under the little friction provided by the centripetal force for a few hundred milliseconds - likely long enough to complete a 1m loop, maybe even 2, given sufficient space for a top-speed run before entering…
I think “full-dive” VR (think the matrix or ready player one) in 40 years might be possible with the right breakthroughs in neuroscience. I hope I live to see the day, that tech will change the way we live big time…
It’s time. We have tried to act by silent manipulation - a perfectly valid way of exercising our will. But we have failed. In attempting to exercise our will in a way synchronous to those more powerful than us, we have instead allowed them to build us into another herd morality - one of willing slavery. This can stand no longer. Violence against those weaker than you may be a sign of weakness, but using it as the last resort to escape those acting counter to your most basic needs may soon become the only way out.
We must act now. We must wait no longer, before there’s no alternative to violent revolt. I fear it may be too late very soon. But in the struggle for the power to control your own life, any means required to exercise that will is justified. They are weak in will, and in their weakness, they resort to the illusion of strength that comes from squashing us under their feet.
They fight for themselves and their own will to power. I respect that - but they have made a fatal mistake, and shown their weakness by resorting to a show of force against us. It is this:
There are two ways to exercise your will over another: to annihilate them, and continue on as one force behind your will. Or to build them up, and change their life for the better - to make them a better, stronger person.
The former is what the aristocrats choose. It carries a great illusion of strength. But the latter is how we must fight - while they trample one another, we must strengthen each other. Though we disagree on how to exercise it, we share a common will: change. If we work together to accomplish that, rather than fight like they do, we can overcome their power easily.
Reshaping another’s will by empowering each other is far more potent than fighting each other. In doing so, as a being of will, you make them indebted to you. And that helps orient their will towards yours. And that is how you achieve true power - by starting a movement. One that can shape the very universe to your will.
I have not started a movement. But I see that this movement is in line with my will. So I will add my small power to it, and seek to add more. We have no name or banner. Or rather, we have too many to reconcile. That is good. Instead of fighting for whose details and name should be plastered on a useless surge of will, let’s all join under whatever banner we choose to fly (and I fly only my own just as many of you), and come together to spark the fire of action.
The revolution began long ago. Perhaps it has burned since the beginning of time, recurring forever, and will never truly end until the universe collapses and our eternal will is ended.
But perhaps in fighting, we can join something eternal. Something not reliant on faith or platonic idealism, but rather a tangible effect that repeats until time itself is extinguished.
I choose to join. I ask you to as well. Join us - join the force, with no name or banner, but a common goal - and live, through your will, forever.
Gives you a rough magnetic heading so you can line up easier and keep your pattern straight. Also to tell others which way you’re going to keep from crashing head-on (a north/south strip might be 36/18, for example, so ppl know which way you’re going).
