you need to be able to have vacations and save for retirement and do fun things from time to time

ahem actually people only need to exist and survive until they work themselves to death getting tangled in the gears of my spinning jennys

you can e2e encrypt emails though?

but when is the exact point of “how they were” when 4000 years of erosion has already taken place?

historical conservation isn’t really this cut and dry

sometimes it’s better to restore things, or to do work to prevent them degrading further

why is he waiting on you hand-and-foot if all you’re doing is sipping a coffee?

It takes a certain amount of energy for water to exist as water, a certain amount of energy for oxygen to exist as oxygen, and a certain amount of energy for hydrogen to exist as hydrogen

The amount of energy it takes for water to keep being water is less than the sum total of the energy it takes for oxygen and hydrogen to keep being themselves.

When you burn hydrogen, it combines with oxygen in the air and makes water. But that requires less energy to exist, so where does the excess energy go? It’s released as heat.

To split water back into hydrogen and oxygen, you have to re-add that same amount of energy again.

Hydrogen as a fuel isn’t so much a source of energy as a store of energy. A battery doesn’t make energy. You charge it with energy so that you can retrieve that energy later. Similarly, a big power plant electrolyses a bunch of water and makes a bunch of hydrogen. Later, you can use that hydrogen in your car without having to be connected to the big power plant that made it.

this is all probably largely wrong and you should ignore it chemistry SUCKS

no, but lots of things about the employee-employer relationship are fucked up, but refusing to act around that information on principle is likely to affect your career somewhat

we all must toil under society—like it or not, even if the system is bad—while the current system remains in place

Honestly if you work for a large employer, I’d assume that

• they were always monitoring internal chats, just with more primitive keyword-based filters
• they have now upgraded to llm-based filters

it’s next to the time ghost, to the right of 3 tuesdays ago

The controlled demolition of Israa University makes it pretty obvious that it’s a goal.

I think we can all agree whatever claims you want to make about how it was secretly a training camp don’t really matter, right? If you’re in control of a building enough to go in and plant explosive charges, I think you might be in control of it enough to stop it being used as a training camp.

What’s an alternative that features the presents-giving at the same time of year

Festivus is explicitly non-commercial

why are you the way that you are?

which is 2-state, which is why it’s powers of 2

It was basically an aeroplane flying with dead pilots before then

aren’t we all

if I can’t tell that my battery life has been reduced, why do i care? i’m literally oblivious to it

Surely I know when I want my phone’s battery replaced, because I’m the one using it?

if you want more bandwidth you can just use more lasers

In the congress hearing zucky boy did, he was asked whether Facebook could read Messenger and WhatsApp messages

his response was to more or less trip over himself avowing that Facebook couldn’t read WhatsApp messages—even when a follow up question specifically asked him about Messenger, he chose to ignore it and reaffirm that WhatsApp messages were private

i don’t really see why he would’ve done that unless WhatsApp actually was encrypted, given that if he were lying about one it would be a lot easier to just lie about both

but SMS isn’t where “main communication” happens anymore

virtually all banks and institutions also send out letters via the postal service, but I wouldn’t say that was proof that “main communication” was typically delivered via envelope

whatsapp is e2e encrypted
