If a judge is called ‘corrupt’ by a defendant outside court in front of the media, or if something more unambiguously libelous is said, can the judge sue the defendant?
That’s amazing, thank you! A ghostly remnant of gravity still exerting 8-ish minutes of influence on earth (in the event of the sun’s instantaneous disappearance) is something I never heard or thought about before, but it makes sense. It’s hard to visualise it though. Like the earth is a marble circling a drain after plug has been pulled and the water is all but gone. Then the minute it is gone, the marble just keeps going in a straight line 👀
Thank you so much for this excellent write-up! And for providing interesting reading material, too.
It’s amazing to me (an uneducated sub-layman) that things like dark matter and dark energy aren’t well-understood, but we can nonetheless still do this kind of science and detect black holes colliding through ripples in spacetime 🤯 But then again, it’s amazing to me that rivers never run out of water (joking… sort of…).
That LIGO sound clip is for sure going into the intro of a metal song.
Wow, that’s an incredible thought. So “ziiiiiiip” there goes the uberobject. 4 minutes later, all of the budgies on earth are knocked off their perches.
Would that uberobject heat up the earth as it passes? Not sure how that would work, but it seems like a good question 🤣
Damn, 58’s nothing. Barely middle age these days. I hope whatever it was that killed her was quick. She worked for some scumbags, but that’s hardly a reason to celebrate that a family has a dead wife, mother and possibly daughter to bury.
I’m going to convert my computer chair from pneumatic to static. I’m currently using plastic clasps that are held on with jubilee clips, but they’re not great and need replaced (I’m a heavy lad). A sturdy metal version would be better....
Thank you so much, those shaft collars look to be a much better design than the thing I drew (not much of a surprise to be honest!), I can stack a series of these instead of looking for one big solid one.
I didn’t know that the cylinders were so dangerous 😬 I must have lucked out; I’ve had to use extreme brute-force methods to dislodge the old ones when it was time to replacement them, pointing the thing directly at my guts and face while I work it loose with a hammer and spanner. Sounds like I was unwittingly playing Russian roulette with my chair. The difficulty I have in pulling out the cylinder is why I wanna just go with a “static” setup, it’s way too much work and effort for something so simple. Now I can also add “don’t want my cheekbones to get lodged in the ceiling” to the list of reasons to go static.
Alphanumerical lists are sortable by alphabet and number, obviously, but if you have a list where each entry begins with a different punctuation mark (or any other kind of non-alphanumeric character), is there a similar standardised ordering method for them?...
How do you sanitise the area to prevent infection? If you get surgery on the rusty sheriff’s badge, how does it not get infected the next time you lay an otter egg? Do they connect a colostomy bag in that case, to give it time to heal?...
It’s not unusual for people to say one thing and do another. It’s not unusual for someone to be so aggrieved that their friend died that they try to hurt the people who indirectly caused it, i.e. Boeing, so they stretch the truth for the greater good, as they see it (maybe he really said it, but as a joke, which has now been upgraded to “a cold statement of fact said with a straight face”). It’s not unusual for people to push themselves into the limelight as a “close friend” when they weren’t. It’s typical of suicides that the person seems about as unsuicidal as you can get, then apparently out of the blue and on a moment’s notice decides to do it. The man was under extreme stress, and had been for a long time. People in that situation don’t think the way we do when we read about it; being that person in that situation will necessarily change how you think and no one else can understand it until they’ve been through it. If you’ve ever had clinical depression, for example, you’ll know how indescribable it is to people who haven’t dealt with it. So saying “why would he do it, he was so close to the finish line!” means sweet fuck all.
The same could be said for Boeing: the case was almost over, and John being dead doesn’t change anything about that. It does them no favours, the evidence of their fuckery is already well-established. He was, after all, a whistleblower. Once the whistle is blown, it’s a bit late to start offing people. Or do we all think they killed him as mere retribution/punishment?
If they have the means and the skills to make someone’s murder look like suicide to law enforcement and the coroner, how can they be so fucking stupid to think no one would find it suspicious and make them look bad regardless? In the age of rampant conspiracism on TikTok and Twitter and the armies of reddit detectives derailing murder trials, they would have been better offing their own CEO and making it look like suicide, after he writes a lengthy note taking the blame for everything.
Dr. David Kelly said “I’m gonna end up being found dead in the woods”, which he was, but all evidence points to it being a suicide. Princess Diana said “Charles might try to kill me in a car accident”, but the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of her fatal accident being just that, an accident, and her supposed “friend” the butler made up a whole load of shit about her to sell a book.
Now, I’m not saying this couldn’t possibly be a hit. But the evidence for it, at this moment in time at least, is extremely weak. It’s a whisper of a suspicion based on movie logic, but of course the internet and the “Epstein didn’t kill himself” memebrains are just running with it.
I released my first game on Steam and got rid of impostor syndrome!
My first game Mushy Score is out on Steam! I have been creating games since I was a child but never felt like a real game dev. Now I finally have a game that I can show to other people.
Mushy Score is a 2D Roguelike where you fight against endless waves of enemies. Collect points and try to get a high score! I am super exited for the release !
