There’s been a bunch of these deliberate misleads, too

• Criticism of Chinese government = “sinophobia”

• Criticism of Israeli government = “antisemitism”

• Criticism of russian government = “russophobia”

Seems like the classic ghoul playbook to me

Quantum mechanics too, basically any process that has a periodic component with amplitude and phase

This is imaginary numbers slander. Unlike capitalism, those are actually useful for physics and stuff.

This meme inspired me to order 66 tattoos done

Nah, too many perfectly good trees wasted on all the furniture

I appreciate the kind words, but let’s also not ignore the power of a fuckton of rockets. Russia did manage to break a lot of important stuff in Ukraine. It doesn’t help them to further any military goals, that’s true. But they are still doing it out of spite.

Weird, you’d think the russian analogy would be superior to Starlink as it can provide signal even underwater from all the sunken satellites over the years

And it made the magic system even less coherent. Polyjuice was described as physically changing your body to match the target, to the level of individual body parts changing one by one. Somehow excluding vocal cords from that is just not logical.

Not that Harry Potter magic system is well defined to begin with, but movies certainly made it worse.

The book polyjuice did change your voice, IIRC

From what I remember from physics course, transitioning between solid/liquid/gas states requires extra energy to be absorbed or released that isn’t contributing to change in temperature. So change from -1°C ice to +1°C water is actually taking more energy than from 10°C to 12°C, despite being the same difference in temperature.

Also, we perceive temperature not in terms of these absolute values anyway, but rather how quickly it transfers heat to or from our body. That’s why humidity affects it, as moist air absorbs heat faster than dry (air being a pretty good heat insulator in general).

"Ten spears go to battle,” he whispered, “and nine shatter. Did that war forge the one that remained? No, Amaram. All the war did was identify the spear that would not break.”

From Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives book series.

I see what you did there

Oh hi neighbor! Wishing you the best of luck with the new game.

The good old “when did RATM went all political”

Oh no, I wonder what happened /s

Heat buildup is actually a problem in space, yeah. You need heat sinks on long term space flights.

Apparently putin also read that one and decided to bomb all of our infrastructure before it happens

(also, the link is paywalled)

Well no shit. Any gathering of people is a prime target for russian drones and missiles. Not to mention most of the country doesn’t even have electricity for 16+ hours a day.

Somehow “left unity” always means everyone else adjusting to MLs and not the other way

Yeah after looking at the history of Ukrainian anarchists I just don’t understand how anyone could be a bigger threat than tankies.
