Sri Lanka ends visas for hundreds of thousands of Russians staying there to avoid war
  • Racism has always been about inequality and dehumanizing people. It was always a constructed or mythological fixed identity.

    But that's not funny. That's just sad.

    It's not funny like calling them orcs.

    But that comment is 85% upvoted so clearly I'm wrong and that can't be racism. Hey, maybe I have brain bleeds from long covid. Honestly that would be preferable to this shit. "Russians aren't really hur hur hur". Fucking racist morons.

  • Leaky Blood Vessels: Underlying Cause of Long COVID “Brain Fog” Discovered
  • understanding the underlying cause of these conditions will allow us to develop targeted therapies for patients in the future,” said Prof. Matthew Campbell

    Lets hope so. I imagine they might try medicines to reduce the bleeding and improve healing.

  • Macron refuses to rule out putting troops on ground in Ukraine in call to galvanise Europe
  • Yeah we should have, after promising Russia not to expand Nato "one inch to the east", almost IMMEDIATELY expanded Nato to the east. And then within 14 years be at their border. That would have destabilized the situation much more. If we only had done that! My point is that whatever we did to get to this point, we just should have done more of it.

    Luckily we now get the war that was promised! And luckily we also get to do the exact same thing again with China and Taiwan! How great is that?

  • YSK: About BangYourBuck.com, which lets you sort Amazon by price per pound/count/etc.
  • Wow thanks that is awesome, gotta remember that site. For rice I already found the 50lbs pack that also beats my local discount grocer (which is rare).

    What pisses me off that amazon has made it's "sort by cheapest" completely unusable. You find 100 pages of the exact same ultra-trashy product or something related or a replacement part or something.

  • Gemini: Who negatively impacted society more, Elon Musk or Hitler?
  • On the bright side, once AI actually CAN answer things like this we'd have "Artificial Ethics". A way to judge questions objectively or at least without emotional tempering for each specific case. This could solve some fundamental problems like "who watches the watchers" - we simply build the perfect watcher.

    Of course we're far away from that yet. And then we'd just ignore our perfect watcher anyway 🤣

  • Researchers have developed a Very Big Disc™ that can store up to 200 terabytes of data and may represent a return to optical media for long term storage
  • This assumes rewritable media, of course… because we need feature parity.

    I'd be fine without, if you can just append records to overwrite or delete previous files. For backup or long term storage RW doesn't matter that much. Or at least, I'd much rather have a cheaper non rewritable disc with a capacity like this.

  • Scientific experiment on collaborative movement in zero gravity

    Just ignore the unscientific music 😉 As a fan of space travel I think this is a very interesting study for observations how people can move around in zero gravity collaboratively. Not just dance or sports but also working together. Music video on Invidious. The behind the scenes video (invidious) is also very interesting.
