  • Note this doesn’t apply to personal property (legitimized by usage: your home, clothing, toothbrush, etc), but only to the state-backed legal regime of property such as owning land or companies.

    I think the comic just uses the word in the context of land ownership (because it's about houses), so the latter of those.

  • Could you give an example of a situation where metric makes less sense than imperial? I will then explain to you that it only appears to you like that, because those are the units you've lived your whole life using. Without that baggage, the adaptability and easy conversions make SI-units objectively superior in every situation.

  • We aren't at that spot, but in space above and behind it. Our horizon is different to the horizon at the prism, and on the surface there the Earth may well be slightly below the local horizon. Hard to say for certain since this is AI slop and the perspective may be wonky.

    That being said, the prism is so tall that it would probably still be at least slightly visible from the Earth.

  • Only if you take it literally. Oftentimes people call the far side the dark side (dark as in unseen).

    Although the far side does get a lot darker than the near side during lunar nights, since Earthshine never reaches it.

  • I DON'T WANNA rule

  • No I was just late and had to stay up working the whole night because of it. I sympathized with the meme because I was staying up and stressing about Monday.

  • Apologies, I'm not too well versed in the differences between imperial and US customary units. (I try my best to stay away from both)

  • post-post-leftist

    Jump

  • My understanding of the term is that it describes leftists who have grown disillusioned with the methods of the left (primarily society level stuff like the proletarian revolution), instead focusing on the more local level through stealing and insurrection etc..

    Basically leftists but who no longer hold out hope for the wider society.

  • I think the point is that they aren't assuming the planet in question is tectonically activie, as that's one of the unlikely steps needed for life as we know it.

  • The photos are incredible

    Jump

  • Stars are dim. Earth and the Moon are bright. If you exposed the shot such that stars would be visible, the Earth and the Moon would be horrendously overexposed.

    If you look at this one of the moonlit nightside of the Earth they took on the way out, you can see stars. The website has EXIF-data on the bottom with more info on the exposure.

  • fuck cars and live a little

    Jump

  • Well, yeah. I can kick a dent into a car, but mostly I just raised crumple zones to emphasize that these are inelastic collisions we're talking about.

    And yes, the breaking distance is pretty much the only way that vehicle mass is relevant for pedestrian survival.

  • fuck cars and live a little

    Jump

  • You are thinking of perfectly elastic collisions. That's a fantasy and not applicable to the real world. A human body isn't a beach ball and cars have crumple zones (although I believe pickups suck in this regard as well).

    And your comparison isn't applicable in terms of masses either. Both a sedan and a pickup are way heavier than a person.

    Edit: Without getting too deep into the math, let me put it this way: The energy of the impact is equal to the energy that the car loses during that impact. The car doesn't lose mass, so it depends instead on how much the car loses velocity. That depends on how the mass of the other object stacks up against the mass of the vehicle. Car hits something much heavier than itself? It stops and all of it's kinetic energy is expended. Car hits something much lighter? A bug on a windshield. A human obviously isn't quite as neglibly light as a bug and the mass of both the human and the vehicle do factor into this, but with both a sedan and a pickup truck, the speeding vehicle never expends more than a fraction of it's kinetic energy on the impact itself. The rest of it is dealt with via breaking, and a pickup will have a harder time slowing down due to it's kinetic energy.
