  • Well hey there kitty twin!

  • Wow. I knew they were sick, but holy shit, I didn't realize they were that sick.

  • My resume/rap sheet lists neither of those labels explicitly, but I'm sure it's a little of both.

  • Well duh. Why would you buy it when you can just use it in the store and leave it back on the shelf after you're done?

  • Don't worry, they're fine.

  • Hamster

    Jump
  • Tragically flawed, but still a beautiful story.

    HOWEVER, this has inspired me to build a hamster wheel with PEMs around its circumference and surrounded by stator windings so I can get my hamster to charge a battery. I mean, if I had a hamster, I would definitely make this a weekend project. Or I'd at least search for this on YouTube to see who else has already done it with cute results.

  • People ain't gonna do shit until it either kills their pocketbooks or they start dying themselves, in large numbers. And then they'll find a way to blame it on those damn elite scientists.

  • To the United States! The cause of, and solution to, all the world's problems.

  • My personal preference is to vote for a candidate 1) who has a chance of winning and 2) seems to embody the intelligence and moral character necessary to make difficult, potentially unpopular, decisions. Ideally they're somehow smart and able enough to make unpopular decisions a little bit less unpopular. So, I guess this means smart, ethical, and charismatic. I feel like this is one of those cases where I get to pick two one of those traits, and it has to be charismatic.

  • A charged Li-Ion battery aflame is no joke, as we saw when it was the Galaxy Note 7. It's a major concern for EVs catching fire in tunnels, parking garages, and ferries. They are SUPER HARD to extinguish- legacy techniques don't really work.

    Another example: In August of 2012, an explosion and fire occurred in one of the lithium-polymer batteries on the Foss hybrid tug CAMPBELL FOSS. - the reinstallation report

    Here's the report of the event itself: https://professionalmariner.com/battery-related-fire-damages-famed-hybrid-tug-puts-it-out-of-service/

  • The list of things I shouldn't do, but do regardless, stretches past infinity.

  • e = π = σ = Δ = ” = Avogadro's Number = k = g = G = α = i = j = 3

    (at least that's how they all look when viewed from ∞)

  • They barely passed me.

  • Ugh, 3 factorial is most definitely not equal to π. It's something more like, idk, 9? Honestly I don't even know how I got here; I majored in Latin and barely past

  • He said UNICEF was sending lifesaving supplies including tents, tarpaulins, hygiene kits, recreational kits and health supplies: “We are ready to bring in even more, but we need the support of our partners.”

    Some $5 million has already been released by the head of OCHA from the Central Emergency Relief Fund and on Saturday UN procurement agency, UNOPS, announced that thanks to donors it was releasing $10 million to aid partners in the emergency response.

    Let's hope the supplies and money go to the people who need it to survive their plight and not to the junta pieces of shit so they can stay in domineering power longer.

    Excerpt from The Dictator's Handbook providing relevant context about Myanmar's past (mis)disposition of foreign aid following a natural disaster:

  • I struggle with this one on a philosophical level.

    [Theory] In a representative government, are the elected officials there to just summarize and convey the aggregate opinion and will of the voters? Or are the voters identifying an individual who embodies the most virtuous among them, who will do what is best for society even if it disagrees with the aggregate opinion?
