Um, excuse me!? There were 15!

Uh, 10! Only 10!

Hm.. actually are they incorporeal AND massless, or just incorporeal?

If just incorporeal, you're right of course that initially after death they'd be falling back and forth, but over time through uneven gravity/curvature and through heat loss (stretching of unequal acceleration applied across the ghost essence, potential energy conversion, yadda), they should generally settle to the center after some time, unless there's a maximum natural pressure of ghosts at whatever temperatures they have, so they may spread out somewhere within the crust if there are enough of them.

If they're incorporeal AND massless, then I totally F'd up and they'd fire off at light speed as soon as they shed their mortal coil.

That's called General Relativity and Reference Frames.

Start watching PBS Spacetime if you actually want to get into it.

You're also entirely missing the point of the comment that was a joke entirely re-explaining the "reason" for ghosts ending up at the center of the Earth, which is implied by the original comment.

Mass distorts spacetime, which to an outside observer appears to change the direction light travels. The light travels in a straight line.

Gravity doesn't alter the particle's trajectory (or ours, for that matter). The warping of spacetime from Earth's mass causes our movement through space to accelerate "down" at ~9.8 m/s^2

So the ghosts are in the center of the Earth, in nearly literal hell.

Oof, sorry to hear that. And yeah I think folks in the Leaf subreddit were calling them "crocodile" cells/packs, and I'm completely blanking on the internal name, only vaguely remembering one translation as 'high heat' which was incorporated into the warranty packs and the cell upgrades in 2015 for the 40kWh "HC1" version.

And yeah, originals were 24kWh and there's no getting around that being just for short commutes. I'm assuming at this point on the newest models, that they're beyond the 63kWh, but those did have a different pack design. The 40s would absolutely physically fit on an older leaf, but the battery controller wouldn't be compatible with the computer without 3rd party changes, though I'm sure people have done that and probably more by now.

Yeah, they never intended the chemistry for the extreme southwestern US environment. The production design included an aging process that was supposed to minimize initial degradation but it wasn't enough without active cooling, even in a pouch design.

Around mid 2014 a chemistry change was made that was intended to alleviate some of the issues, and a fair number of US packs were replaced under warranty.

Through design changes for the 64kWh packs for the newer models, they were insisting active cooling still wasn't needed, so out they went, still sealed up without any cooling system, but I haven't looked them up to see how well they've been faring since they dumped the production to a Chinese company.

Uh, I may or may not have been involved..

Clearly he should rename threads to Z.

EV drivers be like

(Extra irony given Clarkson's dislike of EVs)

Dumb story time:

Many years ago when meeting up with friends for drinks, one brought along her classmate/friend from out of town. I already thought she was cute, but then talking about work (as a jr. sysadmin at the time) she talks about her CS classes and that she was into Linux, so this was already "head over heels" territory for very early-twenties dork me.

So I decided to be saucy and asked her, "pico or vi?"

She immediately responded, "pico is for pussies."

After I replaced my jaw, I did the only logical thing I could think of and proposed to her on the spot. I never saw her again.

They won't be the ones terrorized

Not with that attitude, they won't!

Buy your (preferably used/pawned) guns or acquire them from your crazy antivaxxer uncle's estate after he expires, put on some ANTIFA gear and start marching!

Methgatornado!!!!!!!

That's actually the title, with 7 exclamation points.

MAGAT Mike?

Easy to switch to, even if it's still tame.

Nope, but that would have been a much better take.

In First Contact, Picard has flashbacks and mentions that the Queen was there the entire time while he was Locutus. Gross retcon.

Hugh and the individual Borg led by Lore were just a small subset, maybe a single cube. I can't remember if that was stated directly in Descent or not, but it was implied to be a relatively small group affected.

They had her showing a very charged interest in Picard as Locutus. Data was just the new fling.

Remember Cocaine Bear? Now there is: Meth Gator!

*Also Meth Bear... there are plenty of black bears in FL. Some even go for a swim at the beach.

I'm still pretty new to the Apple ecosystem but already got sucked into multiple devices. The YouTube channel "Proper Honest Tech" has been the only "in depth" source I've used, though while some things are fairly rudimentary or easy to find, he's had a few videos detailing apps or features I hadn't touched.

One thing I desperately want to make much better use of are shortcuts--the app is basically a (very) high-level programming language.

Totally an aside, but it's funny I've been mostly out of networking and ipsec/cybersec for... a very long time... and only recently been realizing how far out of date I am while looking into pfSense and OpnSense info after finding an issue with my consumer/gamer router.

I'm very much going to be hitting up other resources mentioned in this thread too.

It's just common courtesy to change your Depends, Diaper Donnie! God!

hurk

Well I mean, it's not a spinoff, just another episode of TNG 😀

I mean, it's not like he's going to just stop lying.

Pshh.

Seriously, the saddest part is that he's still an active member of Congress. It's truly pathetic how far the Republican Party has fallen.
