That's pretty cool. After reading just the intro, I have 3 thoughts:
- It must be a trip how fast squirrels, flies, etc. experience the passage of time relative to us
- A squirrel would be good at hitting a fastball
- Someone should use their technique (CFF) to see if good baseball players are physically different from normal people in that their visual systems can operate with a faster temporal resolution

Merry Christmas IDM dudes
I have a massive bounty of beer to pour down my neck. I may take a picture later
I flew home so I was preparing for a holiday without beer, but then my brother offered to pick me up some 3 Fonteinen geuze and Orval on his way out.
Love your 3x3 Rochefort stash, that's ace.
Cheers!

like there's 1 extra brown person they noticed today, and all of a sudden the country's gone to shit under Biden! this wouldn't happen with Trump!
Or perhaps they lost their job due to their inferior skill set or intellect, and they look around and see all these foreigners coming in and getting jobs because they're willing to take any job, or they see immigrants coming here for college and then landing good jobs...
It's the immigrants' fault that they're out of work, obviously.

It also shows dust and dirt pretty bad.
It also shows lack of sound judgement pretty bad, too.

A man was pushed from the top of a skyscraper. If the sound of his body hitting the ground reached the killer 5 seconds after the killer pushed him, calculate the height of the skyscraper. The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, g = 9.81 m/s2. Neglect air resistance.
192.781 m?

Looks like you could use his teeth as reflectors for a solar collection array on said sun dial device.

They were so close with Dubya; he started the job, they just had to hold a hand to his throat.

Saw a review of the cybertruck on yt and I have to say I would never own this thing, even if you gave it away for free
so many weird quirks that try to be edgy and reinvent stuff
i can't stand the all-controls-are-on-touch-screen, even for opening the fucking glove box for pete's sake, wtf?!
and build quality looks terribleEverything you just said here could also be said about the Model 3 and Model Y.

I get the jist of it and it makes sense, but they lost me when they were talking about the mathematical extensions of the Kerr space.

Quote“Singularities don’t exist,” claims black hole pioneer Roy Kerr
The brilliant mind who discovered the spacetime solution for rotating black holes claims singularities don't physically exist. Is he right?
Couldn't quite grasp everything 100% in this article, but what I could seems pretty cool.

Not trying to disagree with you, but by and large I don't think there's an appetite for small cars in America. Perhaps in certain cities, but not across the country.
Car & Driver says these are the best selling vehicles in America in 2023:
1. Ford F-Series (573,370 units sold)
2. Chevy Silverado (403,403 units sold)
3. Ram Pickup (332,440 units sold)
4. Toyota RAV4 (302,831 units sold)
5. Tesla Model Y (284,500 units sold, estimated)
6. Honda CR-V (262,351 units sold)
7. Toyota Camry (217,975 units sold)
8. GMC Sierra (216,227 units sold)
9. Nissan Rogue (211,091 units sold)
10. Jeep Grand Cherokee (182,871 units sold)-

The smaller version of the Model 3 could be China-only, as this fuckin country has no appetite for small, economical vehicles. (VW launched the ID3 (Golf-sized EV) in Europe only, they stuck with the SUV-sized ID4 for America).
EV battery tech is already becoming less explosive with a lot of manufacturers (Tesla) using LiFePO4 batteries, which are not nearly as flammable but are unfortunately less energy-dense and lose more energy in cold weather compared to current gen batteries. I think that as battery tech advances, we will land on safer options with acceptable energy density.
I mean if you really think about it, with sufficient charging infrastructure in place the ideal EV would be one that has a range of 150 - 200 miles and can recharge to 80% in 5 - 10 minutes. Drive for a few hours, stop for 5 minutes, fully charged, drive for a few hours to the next stop. How many times have you really had to drive 400 miles without stopping?
To illustrate this point a little, I recently drove a Chevy Bolt EUV from NJ to OH. At my first charging stop, I was next to a Ford F-150 Lightning which charges 3 times faster than my car. However, because the F-150 is much less efficient it needs to have a much bigger battery which takes longer overall to charge. I was in and out of there before he was even ready to go to the next charger even though I was charging at 33% of the speed he was.

I'm only spitballing here, but if he gets the nomination then runs and loses again, OMG it's gonna be 10x worse than the big lie. All these jagoffs will have been primed on the big lie for four years now.
IMO, the best way it can end for the sake of our democracy and overall peacefulness is in a slow-motion, protracted fashion. Without any more major events to hang their hats on, all these crazies will hopefully eventually lose interest and crawl back into their metaphorical caves (if the money-grabbing media ecosystem lets them).
