Relativistic Spaceship Simulator
  • Relativity? A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. A ship traveling at.95C would only take 4 months to travel 1 light year from the perspective of the crew. To outside observers it would take a over a year.

  • If Twitter had existed while Emily Dickinson was alive, she would have been an absolute shitlord with millions of followers
  • Not too be too pedantic but this is the full, accurate quote from Prejudices: Second Series, "Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong."

  • The wealthy
  • The current loan gets rolled into the next loan and becomes a revolving door of credit. As long as you don't spend faster than the assets appreciate you'll always end up ahead.

  • This person's rejection reason
  • Age discrimination in the US only applies if you're discriminating against them for being over 40. This doesn't apply here since they're being rejected for their birthday and not their age.

  • What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp?
  • 1/3 being equal to .333... Is incredibly basic fractional math.

    Think about it this way. What is the value of 1 split into thirds expressed as a decimal?

    It can't be .3 because 3 of those is only equal to .9
    It also can't be .34 because three of those would be equal to 1.2

    This is actually an artifact of using a base 10 number system. For instance if we instead tried representing the fraction 1/3 using base 12 we actually get 1/3=4 (subscript 12 which I can't do on my phone)

    Now there are proofs you can find relating to 1/3 being equal to .333... But generally the more simplistic the problem, the more complex the proof is. You might have trouble understand them if you haven't done some advanced work in number theory.

  • With EVGA out of the GPU market, what brands are good options for a new GPU purchase?
  • I was a long time EVGA user. I bought a Zotac 4090 (AMP OC) on a whim when I saw them in stock a Microcenter. It was sitting 2 feet away from me in my open air case for 3 months before my waterblock arrived and I could barely hear it even at full tilt.
