Dang, why is grok so based?

Wow, this really hit home for me. While I’ve never been the type to yell at people in parking lots, I was a very angry teenager. Over the years, through self-improvement and a lot of introspection, I’ve learned how to manage it. If this resonates with anyone else, just know that it does get easier with practice and reflection. But the key is that you have to want to improve and take control of your emotions. Most of the time, it’s best to just stay quiet and walk away—it’s not worth it. You always end up regretting the outburst.

An update from November 2024 on the linked site indicates they have indexed 500 million pages. Thank you for sharing, but I would appreciate it if you could verify the information and avoid making assumptions based on misinterpretations.

Seriously, I didn't see the name until after I read the comments. I got totally tricked; good job!

Yeah, I get what you mean. So, "acceleration is how fast an object's speed changes". See, hitting the brakes or the gas are both acceleration, physics-wise. But not usually how we talk about it.

It's easier to grasp when you're doing the calculations.

You're pretty smart to ask and dig deeper!

Acceleration is a change in velocity. When you press the gas pedal or brake, you feel positive or negative acceleration. When you turn the wheel, you feel sideways acceleration.

Another analogy is force: F=ma. You feel a force if you accelerate, brake, or turn the wheel; all three induce acceleration as defined in physics.

TL;DR: this is simply not true in practice

To be at risk of cyanide poisoning from apple seeds, you would need to consume a significant amount of crushed seeds, with estimates ranging from 150 to several thousand. The exact number depends on the apple variety. Apple seeds contain amygdalin, a compound that can release cyanide. The cyanide content is around 700 milligrams of hydrogen cyanide per apple seed. A lethal dose of cyanide is approximately 50-300 milligrams. Therefore, you would have to eat roughly 1,000 apple seeds to reach a lethal dose. Some calculations suggest that consuming slightly more than 250,000 seeds would be fatal. Eating 29-38 apple cores, assuming each apple has 6-8 seeds, could cause serious harm. You'd have to eat upwards of 20 apples in one sitting and chew all the seeds to be affected.

I like this post! It's an easy, informative read. Nice to see some useful info about systemd for once, instead of simple "systemd bad"

It's because nuance in an internet discussion is very hard. All people participating must target mutual understanding and not just trying to win an argument.

 

Hi! Sorry if this is a common question.

Is there a tool, search engine or methods so search for a given topic or posts on Fediverse (lemmy, kbin, mastadon, etc)? I come across a lot of great discussions and posts. It would be great to find more about a specific things, or even debugger a problem. Kind of like appending reddit to your Google search to find a niche discussion or solution.
