Eh, Pluto isn’t really something proven false, just that we found more objects like Pluto that made more sense in their own category. It’s classification, like there weren’t always separate categories for feature films and short films, there wasn’t a separate category for dwarf planets when it was just Pluto.
Oxford comma is useful. I think what’s getting popular is just complete disregard for spelling and grammar.
I’ve had measuring cups where all the markings come off.
I bought a harbor freight heat gun. All I’ll use it for is lighting charcoal. Very uneven heat, and will melt itself if you don’t turn it nozzle up when you turn it off.
I think all headsets fall in this category, never had one last a year without repairs. I’ve replaced so much of my current headphones that it doesn’t even look like the same model anymore.
Oh, you mean characters that are actually on the keyboard. I thought you meant stuff like ‘Δ’ or ‘°’
What would it take to pass a constitutional amendment for ranked choice voting, or any other voting system without a spoiler effect?
Spoiler: not by voting
I also have some trust issues. I’d rather not have spyware built into me.
That said if I could magically wave those problems away, I wouldn’t say no to improved senses. Eyes that can see any wavelength from radio to x-rays, with different filters for wavelength and polarization available. Same for ears too.
I have actually considered(but not super seriously) getting a magnet implant so I could detect magnetic fields and current flowing in wires, what do you think the limit of that would be if you took it to an extreme?
Mental augmentations are a bit scarier. For multiple reasons.
Maybe entering the portal takes as much energy as it would take to climb the long way? If the other end is on the moon you have to enter at 10km/s or something else you fall right back out. Warning: I am not responsible for damage caused by extreme tidal forces.
Can someone distill the good faith argument against rust? Is there one?
The problem is that even if it’s objectively better, you can’t magically convert everything instantaneously, and it’s a lot more work maintaining rust and C versions of the same code until everything is re-implemented in rust.
If I’m just going to cook 1 meal, I’ll usually make cheese tortellini with garlic bread. Sometimes pot stickers.
If i’m going to make a batch of something for multiple meals, it’s usually burritos, sometimes drunken noodles, sometimes fried rice.
Once or twice a year I’ll make a big pot of chili with cornbread, get a dozen or so meals out of it.
For a while, I thought kissing was how women got pregnant.
It MIGHT have had something to do with getting a half sibling in spite of my father saying he hadn’t had sex with the mother. Religion makes people weird, is it really that big a deal to admit you had sex out of wedlock, when everybody already knows you got someone pregnant?
With or without my current knowledge?
Because I’m pretty sure I could smelt Iron with what I know, and a year or two of experimentation. So the answer would be “ending the stone age”.
Without? I dunno, maybe building traps and snares.
