“Would you like to make a donation to our corporate tax bill?”
Never give em a cent. They make enough money to donate themselves if they want the tax benefits of charity, and you can always donate directly to charity without it being laundered through some corporation that is literally only doing it because they get to claim YOUR charity on their taxes that way.
My biological father did that shit every time we went to a restaurant while I was growing up. Then he’d usually try to get them to flirt with me, starting from when I was like 8. I still hate going to restaurants with table service decades later
Surely they’ll forget about bread if the circus is entertaining enough, right?
The coca cola dispenser didn’t even need to be edited. I’ve used that stuff as a solvent for engine block corrosion more times than I can count
Same but I still keep the gun around in case any printers sneak back in
Thanks! Trying right now to figure out how to ask my former advisors for letters of rec without explaining my motivations, which heavily imply that I think they’re in denial about their work being “make tools for fascists”
Was working on a PhD in CS focused on industrial cybersecurity, though current events involving the three letter agency that funded my research lead to me crashing out and now I’m trying to get into law school and do immigration law. Far too frail and pasty to buy a farm though
Huge incel vibes. It implies women have no agency and implies by omission that men do. Based on the first page or so of words, at least. I lost my will to engage with it after that
Good on you. It takes courage to admit to something like that and to move in a direction you believe is right despite your upbringing. I’m in a situation with some similarities to yours, and while im still coming to terms with things and not ready to talk about it yet I want you to know that you posting your story and owning your mistakes is inspiring
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent fascist meal? Get your hands off my florida!
Id argue its still valid. Given that the people in charge (US perspective) dont give a shit about us beyond our productivity, $2tril of economic damage is probably exactly the same to them as being hit by a nuke. Honestly it might even hurt the parasite class more than a nuke because at least with a nuke they’d have pretense to go to war over it
More peppers more better, ya know? I’ve got a neighbor who grows them and she spoils me whenever she needs an oil change or something like that, haha
Pedantically, I think you could call muon tomography an antimatter imaging method. It doesnt explicitly use antimatter as a probe, but you do often measure products of antimatter decay or decay products that are antimatter themselves when doing it (depending on how much fidelity you need on the structure being imaged). I say pedantically because I assume you meant medical imaging methods and muon tomography doesnt have medical applications afaik
Looks delicious! I absolutely love chili as a vehicle to use ingredients I need to get out of my fridge/pantry. I made a white chili this weekend with miso paste; adding red miso to beef chili is so good that I consider it a core chili ingredient, but I dont think light miso in white chili worked that well. Other main ingredients were chicken thigh, bacon, white beans, poblanos, cowhorns, chipotles, serranos, tomatoes and cumin
That is a fundamental misunderstanding of how magnetic fields and the forces they induce work. Attract and guide are both words that mean the same thing in this context, ie “apply force to.” Not sure what else to tell you; I dont feel like teaching you electrodynamics so I wont reply to this thread again.
That is correct. It also has nothing to do with the original claim I made and you disagreed with, which is that the object with the greater magnetic field would be able to attract particles from farther away.
The absolute distance is strictly irrelevant given this is a relative comparison between two magnetic fields. The one that is 6 orders of magnitude higher will maintain that 6 orders of magnitude difference exactly the same at a distance of 100m as it will at a distance of 100au. That means that the stronger field will maintain the minimum strength required to “guide” particles towards the dipole at a greater distance than the weaker magnetic field would. I feel you if you’re only trying to argue that it would still need to be within some neighborhood of some star to produce an aurora, but your posts read like you’re claiming 6 orders of magnitude on the magnetic field makes no difference on how close that object would need to be to produce an aurora, which is flatly incorrect.
I dont think you’re quite understanding how big 6 orders of magnitude is. 4000000/r2 still falls off way slower than 1/r2.
Also the funnel diagram of the earth’s magnetic field you’re referring to is a near field effect. In the far field regime the only field components that stay strong enough to be relevant are those parallel to the axis of the dipole; a dipole is functionally identical to a bar magnet if you’re measuring it from far enough away. If my understanding of solar wind is correct and the aurora refers to an interaction that occurs between the earth’s magnetic field and particles near the sun, we’re definitely in the far field regime
I mean, it has a magnetic field 6 or 7 orders of magnitude higher than ours. Id guess that extra strength allows it to pull particles from much further away and possibly from sources much more reticent to give up their particles than solar wind
Warm some sour cream, mix it with enough yellow curry powder that it starts to look a bit like light mustard. That sauce on top of white rice got me through undergrad, and it’s also good on food that costs money
