Some people want their Sci fic to be like Asimov all the time. From this point of view, I can see why they wouldn’t appreciate Weir.

I didn’t want to get into a discussion of vapor pressures, so I was just using those temperatures as stand-ins to get an idea of what temps would required. But you’re right, I probably should have used the sublimation temp.

Highly unlikely, the melting point of those materials is higher than most house fires. The boiling point would be even higher. Even then, the amount of beryllium in all of those gems combined wouldnt be enough to significantly impact the air quality.

A real simple fix would be ranked choice voting.

As an American, I think finding the dumbest of us would be hard given the amount of competition.

Your phone’s camera should be able to “see” the IR from security cameras and IR remotes. That can give you a sense for home much and in what direction they emit.

The sensitivities will be different, your phone should still help you some.

For gifts specifically, the giver is supposed to pay the tax.

Everything else you listed is taxed as income (with different rules depending on the source) just like you said. You could also add inheritance (unless special loopholes are used) and proceeds from the sale of illegal narcotics.

“Republicans have argued that the rules effectively dictate standards for the whole country, imposing what would eventually be a nationwide electric vehicle mandate.”

They always get so close to understanding how awful they are themselves. Makes you think they aren’t arguing in good faith.

I think the latter is also where we get the term to “deep 6” something, as in “the Mac and cheese cooked in cola was a terrible mistake, let’s deep six it and move on”.

I put it onto my home server and it is working great. I can’t tell you about all the options, but it was so easy to start another VM for it that I didn’t look at other options too carefully.

Ahh, they are hard to find on mobile in vertical. The filtering section is scrollable, but it’s not obvious that that frame can scroll independently of the entire page, so didn’t see them the first time.

Needs filters for HDR, ports, refresh (rate and variability compatability), and size.

The author of this is really twisting the story in his own favor. He leaves out the part where he launched public personal attacks against other faculty and students.

His department did try to work with him so that he could teach his class (which was completely outside his field of expertise, and is therefore against the general policies). They wanted him to co-teach with someone with knowledge in the field, but at that point he had completely ostricisized himself and no one wanted to work with him.

This is absolutely a situation where someone fucked around with a loaded gun, shot themselves in the foot and is now mad at everyone else because they didn’t help him shoot someone else.

Once again, this isn’t an OLED screen. It is an E Ink screen, like the black and white ones, but with color. And it folds, if you want that.

This is an E Ink screen: “The mooInk V features an 8-inch folding E Ink screen that’s been tested to survive over 200,000 bends.”

“The mooInk V features an 8-inch folding E Ink screen that’s been tested to survive over 200,000 bends.”

You could at least read the sub heading

As stated by another user, Wh is not a good metric for batteries because it will change depending on the load (voltage and current).

mAh is a strange unit, but it is the amount of stored charge (as in Coulombs) which does not depend on the load, so it makes sense to rate the capacity by this metric.

What if we did something to the virus so that it couldn’t make us sick, but still made our bodies thing we were sick?

That sounds like socialism which is bad because it’s bad. Look what happened in Canada, they didn’t pay animal and worker abusingly low prices and now they don’t have insanely high prices. Without causing these situations they are denying large parts of their population high sustained cortisol levels.

This is why we need to maintain our threats of annexation. We must provide them the stress that their government denies them.

The “willingly” makes the difference there. That changes it from negligence to intentional, and those are legally distinct.

If Amazon, or another marketplace, isn’t aware of the danger of a product sold by a vendor on their platform, it’s not clear if Amazon, or the market provider, is responsible. Amazon is arguing that they aren’t, but I don’t know enough of the law to say if that is a settled question.
