I think Phantom Menace is the best of the 3, but the thing I always find surprising when watching the other two is how freaking engaged I am when Obi-wan is on screen. Seriously, Ewan McGregor so freaking good that I’m just whisked away on whatever exploration of this foreign universe he’s doing. Then Anakin speaks and rips me right back to reality.

If Liam Neeson carries TPM, Ewan McGregor should be crowned Mr. Universe for carrying AOTC and ROTS

Radioactive materials have a half-life, which means every X number of days/months/years, the material will have decayed to half its initial size. This continually happens, so while something might start at say 100g and have a 10 day half life, 10 days later it is 50g, 10 days later 25g, 10 days later 12.5g, 10 days later 6.25g, etc. This will continue forever until there is literally one atom left, at which point it is random chance when the atom would decay.

Voyager launched with 3 Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators, each with 4.5kg of Pu238 which generated 157 watts of usable electric power at launch, for a total of 471 watts

It will be half that in 87.7 years (235W) . And half that (117W) in another 87.7.

The problem comes from the amount of power necessary to run the craft and it’s radio. While the generators might continue to run for practically forever, at some point they just don’t produce enough power to keep everything working. Its official mission is expected to end in 2025, but it’s generators are expected to be able to power it’s instruments for another ~10 years

Likely, scrapping a movie isnt completely finished and there would be additional post-production costs that would have to be paid to make the product ready for release. If they’re not expecting much return by releasing it on streaming or something like that, then it could make sense to not finish.

That’s because motherfuckers are idiots.

Chew that stem bruh

A nice spicy chorizo

The crazy thing about terraforming another planet is that you could (re-)terraform the Earth for less resources.

You seem like you’ve got all the answers already. Why bother asking a question?

I didn’t have to. You contradicted yourself.

No single company contols supply.

if you want to decrease supply you can simply grow less

Pick one. You can’t have both. Either you have the ability to control supply or you don’t.

Economics 101: additional supply is counteracted by lower demand (meaning lower prices to compete for that demand)

I thought shitting on other guys was called a Cleveland Steamer.

Yeah. Fuck those soft men.

Literally. Literally fuck them.

There’s nothing more masculine than taking a big, burly, hairy beast of a man… then bending him over and fucking the shit out of him.

I think you’re missing the point the comic is going for.

Fundamentally, mathematics is built off axioms. An axiom is an incredibly simple statement that presumably true within the system they define, such as “the quantity one exists” or “the operation addition exists”, then uses these axioms to build mathematical proofs starting from them to draw further logical conclusions, such as 1 + 1 = 2.

If you continue following these axioms to their logical conclusions, and use those conclusions to follow to even further logical conclusions, you essentially end up with the entire field of mathematics.

Then if you take those mathematical conclusions and apply them to the physical world, you end up with the entire field of physics.

Then if you take the entire field of physics and apply it to molecular interactions, you end up with chemistry, and if you take all of chemistry and apply it to biological organisms, you end up with all of biology.

I’m not trying to say you’re wrong about people arguing in bad faith or with not enough evidence to make their untrue claims. But this is just a web comic. It’s just making a joke that if we trace everything we know back through all our fields of studies, we end up with the incredibly simple origin points of mathematics.

It’s funny.

Laugh.

Pique - verb - arouse (interest or curiosity). “with his scientific curiosity piqued, he was looking forward to being able to analyse his find”

1/3 pint is 189 ml, so basically a glass of wine at 1/4 a bottle is a third of a pint. It’s pretty much the sweet spot where metric and imperial meet for volume measurements.

You can talk about other aspects of Google and their stance as related to advertising, but they have always been LGBT friendly from day 1. Both the employees and company as a whole. They released this 13 years ago: https://youtu.be/pYLs4NCgvNU?si=5NizEf8XAf8CPyBs

Yeah. That’s perfect. Thanks!

That’s my next project now that I have my pihole set up. My basic ass router from my ISP does not support that though.

Side question: do you know of any openWRT supported routers in the $100-150 range with external antennas? Everything I’ve taken a look at is either an internal antenna, or like $400.

Stop eating.

No one can beat the 2nd law of thermodynamics

Stop eating = lose weight and die quickly

Contniue over eating = develop long term health issues and die early.

Equilibrium exists between these two extremes.

It’s different for everyone. Find you balance, and live it. You don’t have to be a monk or I have the iron will or a frontiersman to to just think “I know I’m still hungry, but maybe I shouldn’t have a 2nd cheeseburger tonight”
