I love the over-the-top action in some music videos as well as “Bollywood” action films.

More movies need to have the completely serious cartoonish shenanigans.

Like kicking a manhole cover off it’s hole in order to deflect bullets at the dozen or so bad guys surrounding you.

Neat!

How sad is it that my first thought was data harvesting bluetooth app… Everything is enshitfified.

A light up metal set sounds cool.

So like… Do they light up?

Or is it Bluetooth connection to your phone so a proprietary app can harvest data “track rolls to improve user experience” while just giving you an easy way to reference previous rolls?

I’m actually curious, I can’t imagine why dice would need to charge unless they’re light up.

And now I want a pair of light up dice that are brass and have some kind of draconic theme with bones and scales to make the number indicators…

My closest city is actually filled with 100+ year old buildings that have old pictures of the building in various points in history. Someone went through a lot of trouble about a decade ago to get everyone on board with displaying historical stuff.

There’s a road that follows one of the old canals, and a tunnel still technically accessible beneath the main downtown road where deliveries were hauled in order to keep the road up top for PEOPLE to walk on, and carriages were rare until the 1900s.

Then everything changed in the early-mid 1900s and no hint of canals even exists today in the city, other than one road named “canal” and one named “water”. But without knowing the history, they’re just names.

Lmao no, just autistic fascination with space and many thousands of hours of listening to astrophysics lectures and hundreds of hours listening to edu-tainment type videos from people like Dr. Becky Smethurst.

Thanks for the compliment though, I’ve heard the balloon explanation since I was a child, but the ant-splanation of light speed just popped into my head.

Without trying to explain things even in not sure I grasp, no. The atomic forces keep atoms together, and expansion of space is only noticeable on long distances. Like light-years and parsecs kind of distances.

Also fun fact: the rate of expansion is not only INCREASING as space expands, last information I saw suggested space is expanding faster in some directions than others, which is fascinating for a number of reasons.

Eventually, the universe itself will “die” when it hits absolute zero and nothing moves anymore. Nothing can happen after the heat death of the universe (unless protons decay)

Take a balloon.

Blow it upto about 50mm

Make a couple dots around it

Blow it up a little more.

Now there’s distance between the dots.

Imagine an ant walking between the dots. That ant is going at the speed of light (as fast as it can go) relative to the dots.

Now as it walks between the dots, blow the balloon up really big

The dots aren’t moving, they’re stuck to the surface of the balloon. The balloon itself is expanding. The ant is going at the speed of ant-light, but now the dots are all “moving away” faster than the ant can walk.

The speed of the ant hasn’t changed, the space the ant is traveling has changed. And faster than the ant can move, because the balloon isn’t limited by the same things the ant is.

I’d settle for being able to monetize ANY of my hobbies. Being able to sell (and live off) something I made because I felt like it would be great.

Oh hey, it’s my parents, about literally every topic I wanted to talk about as a kid.

Yes pls gib

I’ve not worn a bikini due to self cons ious about my stomach, but I have worn leggings which are very hugging.

I use a pair of underwear called a gaff (I haven’t clicked on the other comment link to check but I’m guessing it’s a pair) and it pulls everything up nicely. It’s not “unclockable” if someone wants to get up close and inspect, but hopefully anyone that close already knows you well and doesn’t care.

I also use KT tape (DO NOT USE DUCT TAPE) for squishing everything up. No bathroom breaks like that, but I carry a couple small pieces in my purse and tape in a way that I can go, then put on a small piece. Note: I am a grower not a shower, so normally everything can fold up nice and neat, if a little pronounced. If it’s cold out, one pair of underwear is usually enough. Otherwise it’s 2 pairs of normal underwear. I’m chubby so it’s not out of place on me to have a slight bulge in the pelvic area as a woman.

I won’t speculate on sizing, but if tucking underwear is uncomfortable, KT tape can be used to “pull it back” between your legs.

I think it’s also just a fundamental misunderstanding of how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly EMPTY space is.

I can’t even comprehend it, and I don’t believe anyone can. Human brains aren’t designed for big numbers.

EVERY PLANET in the solar system (plus pluto and the other planetoids) can fit between earth and the moon. And we’ve had people on the moon! It only took 4 days to get there. Every planet could be passed in 4 measly days. And there’s barely anything between them on a normal day.

Between solar systems is even MORE empty. Less things floating around, since most stuff gets caught in gravity wells, and the light stuff gets shoved out to the edge by stellar winds.

Between galaxies is ALSO more empty than between solar systems. Waaaaaay less particulate stuff. Even less that’s big like rogue planets.

And then you have things called voids where there’s basically nothing. All the galaxies have gathered in filaments that look kind of like soap bubbles, and the voids are the bubble. Nothing inside the bubble. Some bubbles are small, some are huge.

When Andromeda and the Milky Way collide in a few billion years, almost nothing will actually “collide”, in fact it’s basically only going to happen because of how chance works with large numbers, the space between stars in a galaxy is huge, and all the stars will be whizzing by each other and their gravity wells will interact, but they won’t hit each other (except, you know… Statistics and big numbers)

So yeah.

Space is really empty, and big exponents on numbers confuse people.

I know a guy named Sean Murray. Chill dude.

I do a double take every time I’m reminded that NMS has a Sean Murray.

I haven’t played in awhile, but NMS was fun last time I tried it. Honestly, it was fun when a friend gave me their copy in disappointment on day 2. I don’t follow hype trains, having learned my lesson in the 00s… So I didn’t have any expectations for the game beyond the article titles I’d see bashing it. It was genuinely fun before they made it better.

I hope this means they’re adding more lifeforms. I didn’t play too long since I was mid-game in another game, but I keep wanting to check it out again.

A fool and their money are soon parted.

That said, I’m all for sending Klandace to Australia to face charges. Idk if anyone will get their money back, but it’s worth a shot!

They said with confidence, yet having 0 idea what they’re talking about…

Every time I see a comment like this it’s either from a parent that regrets becoming a parent, or someone who has never had kids…

Holodeck nonsense? That’s at least one or two episodes per season.

On whatever surface or bag pocket I place it on/in.

Now whether I remember any of those places… Lol.

My favorite general use one is in my purse, my favorite chunky razor style is with my camping gear, and my favorite dagger is on my outdoors bag.

No idea where my 30 others are and I figure I’ll find them in some box or bag or another. I know I placed a few of the mid tier ones in different survival gear bags…

Both those numbers seem too low. The right one doubly so.
