Very easy to tell if someone knows what they wrote about in a two minute conversation. My wife grades/t.a's at a university, it's obvious when someone doesn't know the information in person (and she's very understanding towards people who cannot verbalize the information but still know it). The old professors aren't very keen to it, but the graders can very easily smell the bullshit.

And if you know the information well enough, but send it through gpt for editing/refinement, that's usually accepted, unless you're in a class that grades on composition.

It's black cat time!

Over 200 of them! 5 countries were eager to sign two deals with us! That's twice the deal!

I would love for the media to not cover stupid shit like this, getting us all be distracted from official legislative and executive actions, but this is a legislative action, what in the actual fuck are the repugnantcans doing with our fucking tax dollars.

Yeah, maybe a bit more on the headline would help this out.

"DOJ opens inquiry into new WA law requiring clergy to report abuse". Trump is an active proponent in helping the church cover up child abuse.

I just went back to Minecraft after probably a decade of not playing it, they made coal so effing hard to find now. I'm mostly using charcoal.

But it's still easier than stardew

Disney used to run ads for their other shows on Disney channel, no non-Disney things, but they were still interspersed, that was a child formed in my brain what an ad was to be "anything that delays the content is an ad". Pedantically FBI warnings and producer logos are ads.

Strange, outside of the CBS logo before Paramount Plus things start on Amazon (I hate every noun in that sentence progressively more) I haven't had an ad in almost a year (from that same subsection of that same platform). Apple put some ads up for other shows of theirs, but made them skippable.

Twitch is probably the worst for ads, I sometimes have to watch one.

As a child of Saturday morning cartoons, ads today aren't 2% as bad as what we used to endure, and on demand shows (you can watch a series even if your missed the first episode, instead of waiting for the season recap, or entire season re run before the finale), and the ability to watch, and pause, damn near anything, makes the experience at least 50x better, so I'd say we're about 2000% better off than I remember us being.

Should be on patient gamers as well.

But I'm not holding my breath. Also if this person had any connection with valve they probably don't any more.

I remember thinking how much like Russia it would be to try to damage an American companies reputation, especially one that is providing support for their enemy....

Not the Tesla, the car in front of it, it's got a very unique tail light array, I'm thinking it's one of the new smaller ev producers, but maybe it's something Japanese with a less common trim package?

Thanks for the assist, I'm quite infatuated with it's styling.

I believe the badge was red, and there are 5 letters beneath it (so not Jaguar)

 

I've been a subscriber to humble choice since day 1.

I went back through the last 2 years of bundles (average about 1.5 activations per month) and added games to my account.

Next time I get the urge to buy something "because it's on sale" I'll go back and add things I've already paid for.

His collar tag matches his personality, and his chompers, perfectly. Care to guess what it is?

 

I've seen a few articles about neutrinos recently, high energy ones, super fast ones, ones from open space, others from "sources", and my understanding of the particle is that it's very hard to detect, passes through light-years of lead without interaction, etc. don't headings and speed require multiple readings to make? How do we know the velocity of a neutrino when we can only detect them at single points?

 

""Vera Rubin offers an excellent example of what can happen when more minds participate in science," was changed to replace "more" with "many," altering the meaning from emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives to simply highlighting a high number of people."

 
 

I'll probably check in again at 34 hours.

 

I don't know how I got this job, sure it doesn't pay the best in the field, and you need lots of specialized training, and with that training you can go to much more prestigious work, but it pays enough. I don't know why the previous person to do it left (the commute was too much for her, but I would've moved closer if I was her). She trained me very briefly because I knew most of the ins and outs already, she told me the boss had been in and out of remission with bone cancer, but the last flair up was taken care of years ago.

It's been 7 years since he was first diagnosed, and he's had 2 replacements, they won't do a third. He doesn't want to try the experimental treatments because he'd rather enjoy the time he has.

I've worked for him for 3 years and I feel so greedy wanting to scream at him to try every avenue available. He has 3 amazing kids, a wife and in-laws who live him, he loves coming into work, he just finished renovating his forever home. And I don't want a different boss. I need more time with my mentor, my friend, the best boss I've ever had.

I just learned this morning, and it's really raw, I need to get it off my chest, I don't want to steal time from his family, but I want to take from him as much as I can. He's a genius in the field, the person he's trying to get to replace him is remarkable younger guy, but he's my age, he doesn't have the life experience that I've found myself looking to my boss for.

Fuck cancer.

Thanks off my chest. Hug your loved ones. Tell your dog they're good, scratch your cat. Enjoy the moments of extra nice weather.

 

My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?

This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?

If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?

I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."

While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder

 

I'm entirely new to sync, I feel like this will be common knowledge, but I went to expand a comment thread, it said "1/2 comments added" and the "view more (2)" button disappeared, it loaded 1 comment, but I'd be interested to see what that other comment was.

Thanks Lemmy-syncers

More info, just updated the app and the first thread I was trying to read showed both comments, but the second thread gave the same response, I was leaning towards "it's not showing deleted by creator" except it loaded 2/2 for one of the previous 1/2 threads.

 

Quite a fun game, and the price has never been better, I'm not sure how long it'll be free so grab it while your can. The "endless" universe games, and their spice, have never really caught on with me, but this one was very easy to pick up and play, especially with the heavy+medic+pyro team from the TF2 update.

Don't let this one go past you!

 

If you weren't a child in the 90s you may not have experienced this gem, now is your chance!

Also please feel free to add your name to the Kerbal space program giveaway that I left up while work tried to murder me. I'll pick a winner for that Sunday night.
