xkcd #2898: Orbital Argument
  • Yes, but it's mostly shifting because of Jupiter. It's just so dang heavy. Like, a couple times heavier than every other planet put together. I don't have the brain wattage to do the cool math right now, but a quick google search says that while the barycenter of the solar system does depend on all the planets, more often than not, it is outside the sun

    I'm not creative enough to think of a title
  • why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?

    Not to sound like a blue-haired liberal, but at least in my neck of the woods, toxic masculinity is to blame. Like, one of my favorite internet folk got bullied off the internet recently for saying he likes girls a little too enthusiastically. Some dudes will absolutely tear you apart if you are a man that exhibits anything other than stoic passivity.

    If we're reviving everything then start with Mythbusters
  • My dream Mythbusters would be Allen Pan and Grady Hillhouse as the hosts, with Jabrils, Michael Reeves, and Simone Giertz as the build team. I feel like that covers all the bases. The funny guy and straight man hosts, and the computer guy, adrenaline addict, and levelheaded smart woman build team, with frequent guest hosts William Osman, Kevin Backyardscientist, Nigel Braun, Alex Apollonov, and James Hobson

    There are so many people with such dense resumes and existing fanbases, and Discovery hired two, uh, guys. No offense to Jon and Brian, I just like everyone else named in this comment better

  • I used to keep a white towel over the 24 packs of water I kept in my back seat, that really does work. 100°F outside, water is still a crisp 72°

    Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules
  • Yeah, and I'll appeal the case all the way up to the Supreme Court. I have a constitutional right to not say a goddamn thing. The founding fathers knew what passwords and cyphers were. If they wanted to allow the state to compel you to give them access to information that they could use against you in court, they would have written that into the fifth amendment.

    Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules
  • My understanding was that most of them got got because their cell companies knew where they were, not because of the contents of their phones

    But also, I'd rather let every Jan Sixer go free than imprison one innocent person because they looked up textiles.com two years ago and found out how to make meth

    Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules
  • I'm sure if the government was doing it's damnedest to house soldiers in our apartments, there'd be more people against it. Unfortunately they're just doing their best to jail anyone they don't like.

    Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules
  • Totalitarians try to use cases like this to take your rights away. Never forget how this impacts the innocent. If they can force this man to unlock his phone, they can force any innocent person to do the same. If the police think you've committed a crime, accessing your phone will never make them think you're innocent. The absolute best case scenario is that they don't find anything useful to their case. The worst case scenario is that they find your social media account where you called arson based last year, and they will use that against you.

    'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs
  • I know it's wrong, but I can't help but be upset by the individual xp. Either I get jealous when my friends level up three hours before I do, or I feel guilty having a level on them for three hours. That shit does not fly at most tables, why would they think to include it in this game? Why isn't there an option to share xp???
