What is a creepy or weird fact that would scare even the bravest person?
  • We have no way to know what the resultant physics would be like within the bubble, so there is no way to even speculate about what would happen.

    What is a creepy or weird fact that would scare even the bravest person?
  • There is a possibility that the Higgs field isn't at it's lowest energy state, and that a random quantum tunneling event could drag the Higgs field to that lower state. In this unsettling scenario, a bubble pops into existence somewhere in the universe. Inside the bubble, the laws of physics are wildly different than they are outside the bubble. The bubble expands at the speed of light, eventually taking over the entire universe. Galaxies drift apart, atoms can’t hold themselves together, and the ways that particles interact are fundamentally changed. Whatever form the universe takes after this event certainly wouldn’t be hospitable for humans.

    "Housing" Proposals
  • Building more is necessary if the available housing is not located where appropriate employment is located. Thus, the gross number of available homes isn't a good metric to use for determining the actual need for new construction.

    I used premade dough from Sprouts -this was the first and last time using store bought dough - tomato sauce - made with with sauteed garlic, olive oil salt, basil, oregano, and chili flakes - heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, fresh basil. I finished it with fresh basil, olive oil, and fresh grated aged parmesan. Finally I brushed melted butter on the crust and sprinkled smokey garlic salt on the butter.

    This was cooked on a pizza steel at 550 degrees for about 6-8 minutes, with the last minute or so under the broiler.

    Can't figure out why my computer defaults to the 1gig lan, rather than 40gig for connection to nas

    So I was recently gifted some Mellanox 40gig network cards that I installed in my NAS and my desktop and connected with AOC fiber. I gave them both static IP addresses on their own dedicated subnet that's not used anywhere else in my network. I was able to run iperf3 between both computers, and that worked exactly as expected.

    At that point, I edited /etc/fstab to update the IP addresses for my mounted network shares. I ran # mount -a successfully and thought all was well.

    The problem is, my computer defaults to my one gig lan connection for some reason, despite the entries in fstab using a completely different subnet.

    The only way I've found to force it to work properly is to disable my LAN connection, then remount the network shares, then reenable the LAN port.

    On one occasion I noticed that a file I was duplicating on my NAS was being downloaded via my LAN to my computer to duplicate, then being uploaded back to the NAS via the fiber connection.

    Does anyone have any clue why this may be happening or how to fix it more permanently?

    The NAS is Debian, my desktop is Manjaro.
