Dearborn residents show remorse after Trump win: 'He's playing us'
  • By "wet bulb event" do you mean when the wet bulb temperature exceeds around 94 F and you will literally eventually die without air conditioning? Because, yeah, that's incredibly scary.

    We had a couple of those days in Texas this summer.

  • Trump Makes Chilling Joke About Staying in Power Forever
  • This time America voted for the felon to become a dictator

    No, they just voted for the term that runs 2025-1-20 to 2029-1-20. The dictator thing might end up happening, but it's not what was voted on.

  • Elon Musk may already be overstaying his welcome in Trump's orbit
  • Any trip to Mars is going to involve massive amounts of personal suffering and privation.

    Minimum mission duration of 3 years. Living space no larger than a small RV. All the food is freeze dried. Can you imagine the smell that will develop? If anything breaks, it's on you to fix it, and there is no trip down to the hardware store, and no United Rentals to bail you out. Any medical complication? There's no ER, just whatever you've got in the kit.

    And that's not even starting on the chronic radiation hazard for which there is no viable option to deploy shielding. And a freak solar flare can cook you with acute radiation that will kill you at any time.

    Seriously, we're talking about an adventure that would be way more epic than Shackleton.

  • Neutrality for Ukraine will not bring peace as Russia cannot be trusted to adhere to any agreement, Finland's foreign minister says
  • There is absolutely nothing wrong with NATO sharing a border with Russia. NATO is a defense pact. It won't invade Russia to "stabilise" or for anything else. It's all right there in the NATO charter.

    In fact NATO has shared a border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad for decades. And there haven't been any problems. More recently, NATO member Finland has a land border of many hundreds of kilometers with Russia's mainland territory. That doesn't seem to be hurting anyone or anything, except perhaps Mr. Putin's ambitions to one day reconquer Finland.

    Edit: I forgot the Baltics! How could I forget NATO members Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (since 2004)?

  • This scientist treated her own cancer with viruses she grew in the lab
  • So the problem here is this.

    1. Imagine that you have terminal cancer, but you're not a famous virologist.
    2. Somebody comes along and offers you untested, experimental treatment injections for the low, low price of $75,000.
    3. Gofundme.

    I've seen exactly that type of scenario play out with my own relatives. It's a good reason why medical treatments marketed to the public should be proven to be safe and effective.

  • America Brain Drain Circa 2025
  • Read your physics textbook. There were so many S tier German physicists in the first part of the twentieth century. They remade physics in their own image.

    And a whole bunch of them left in the 30s. Quite a few ended up working on the Manhattan project. Werner Heisenberg didn't leave, and eventually headed up the Nazi nuclear weapons program.

  • Segmentation Fault
  • Even if you do have an MMU, there's no guarantee that you'll get a segmentation fault from a memory bug. You can still just get the weird side effects, if you fail to access the incorrect memory.

    Undefined behaviour means exactly that. You have no idea what you could get.

  • I need to forget
  • This is probably also true. When In'n'Out conspicuously puts the potato slicer in view of the counter, they're really making a statement that limits which ways they can cook the fries.

    Not necessarily for the better.
