  • hey, I’m being more of an asshole because you’re being an asshole, and I thought it’d be funny to reply to you saying nobody cares because it seems like you care

    does your manual say to drive “extremely slow” or does it say to keep the RPMs down and go easy on the throttle for a few minutes? because those are very different things and I’d give you my rebuttal to your points if you’re open to debating without being assholes to eachother

    and if not, I’m not dying on this hill




  • have you actually read your owners manual?

    this isn’t worth fighting some rando on the internet over. nothing I say I going to change your mind, and that’s fine, not my car not my problem.

    for others that see these arguments - don’t listen to the armchair mechanics online, read your car’s fucking manual. typically the goal is to get your car to operating temp as fast as possible, and most modern cars are designed to heat up as fast as possible under motion. heating your car at idle takes forever and spends more time operating with parts not at their optimal tolerance.

    but don’t just listen to me, read your car’s manual.


  • What makes you say that?

    I’m in no way here to defend blue orgin, but the capsule does apogee “just above 100km”. It’s pretty clear getting above the karman line was their main goal.

    If we’re gonna throw shade we gotta be accurate. Lets make fun of them for being suborbital and for making the most phallic launch vehicle ever.







  • Earth’s natural satellite can serve as a valuable research partner in measuring the sun’s oblateness. This is due to a phenomenon known as “Baily’s beads,” which are the tiny flashes of light during an eclipse that occur as solar light passes over the moon’s rugged terrain of craters, hills, and valleys. Since satellite imagery has helped produce extremely detailed mappings of lunar topography, experts can match Baily’s beads to the moon’s features as it passes in front of the sun.

    The way I’m guessing this works is: Baily’s beads will be detectable on shitty cameras since they will be distinct flashes of light, and since we have very detailed information of the moon’s topography they can determine information on the sun based on your phone’s location and the timing of the flashes of light.

    And if that is how it works, that is fuckin rad. A+ science.


  • They really don’t have to be bigger and heavier. I have a Pantum P2502w laser printer and it is seriously one of the smallest printers I’ve ever owned including inkjets. I feel like laser printers always default to paper storage being underneath them instead of having a feeder tray that sticks out further from the body? And that puts them into a larger form factor.

    That being said, I’m fairly sure this is a much lighter duty laser printer than other heavier ones.

    Also this is not really an endorsement for Pantum, the software and firmware are buggy as hell, but the software isn’t bad enough for me to throw it out and the hardware will probably last a decade so good luck to me.
