  • My favorite is "communist socialism".

  • The .ml/tankie witch hunts on .world are what got me to jump. It's just exhausting.

  • Tinfoil hat time: with the police looking increasingly incompetent with no suspect or leads, the first person apprehended who vaguely resembles the shooter is provided with a free ghost gun, fake ID, and manifesto. It's all just too "slam dunk" perfect for me to not question it.

  • I've only ever had one worse protein bar: the original powerbar. Made in Idaho back in the nineties, they were a uniformly brown (regardless of flavor), chewy, sticky, oddly grain flavored abomination. The OG version came in gold foil wrappers with black text, like it was out of a fancy MRE. They were awful.

  • I expect they'll find a fall guy if they can't find the real killer. Can't look incompetent when the nation's watching!

  • I'd settle for "less bad". If Musk is a 10/10, she's an easy 4/10, with the ranking based entirely on arbitrary numbers and few actual facts.

  • If you're trolling, you're less enraging then entertaining (at your expense), so you might need to change your approach.

  • This is 100% bard hijinks.

  • Does getting cold hands and feet from watching terrifying movies count?

  • They're from Chile, it's actually possible!

  • Do you meditate? This is pretty much my meditative state.

  • They're going to have plenty of faces to feed their young.

  • That's social conditioning, not biology.

  • ×25% gives you 1/4 the original value, whereas +100% is double the original value, let's say 8/4 to keep it consistent. ×125% (in case a 1 is missing) is still only 5/4 the original value.

    Is there a typo in your comment?

  • I did exactly that. There are ways to even pull your car off the cell network so they can't actively harvest your driving data

  • That's assuming someone is selling their old Tesla to buy a new Tesla. Hopefully they won't. I own one and I wouldn't buy one again.

  • Oh shit, you're right! I had no idea, good catch.

  • brains!

  • It's really both, neurons communicate electrochemically. Neurons establish a voltage difference across their membrane, typically positive outside, negative inside, by concentrating ions on one side or the other. In a single neuron, the action potential (signal) results in the electric polarity of the cell membrane switching to negative outside, positive inside, with the change in gradient cascading down the length of the axon as ions are allowed to flow across the membrane by voltage-gated ion channels. After depolarization, ions are actively and selectively pumped to either side of the membrane, repolarizing it.

    There's a lot more to it than that but it's 100% charge dependent. The change in charge is mediated by the flow of ions across a membrane instead of the flow of electrons through a conductor, hence why it's slower.
