How long would it take to create a Pyramid today?
  • If anyone wants to understand the pain of fissile uranium production, play factorio. Gives you a little tiny fraction of what it's like to produce enough fuel for a powerplant. You need a lot more for a bomb.

  • South Korea: Exploding lithium batteries spark deadly factory fire
  • So, maybe this is hindsight, but why were battery inspections and storage in the same location? If the batteries failed inspection (which I'm guessing the exploding ones would have, or at least do now) they should be kept separately from known good batteries right?

  • If you need me, I'll be over here banging my head on my desk repeatedly.
  • It's not even a hard thing to recognize. The most authoritative piece on Monsters, Monster Hunter, explains this in detail. And here I am in Elden Ring with all "dragon this, dragon that" and I'm like where are these fucking dragons? Dragons have 6 limbs, these fuckers all have 4.

    Then I realized George RR Martin made the same mistake with his "dragons" in SOFA. So now I'm thinking he worked on Elden Ring as a propaganda piece to try and push the idea of 4 limbed dragons, or at least try to get the four-legged with wings attached to two to fall into that category. I can understand the confusion, but developing a whole videogame to push your mistake isnt very cool.

  • Popular weight loss drug may help treat severe sleep apnea, new research finds
  • So my insurance currently covers a lifetime benefit of like $20k or something for these meds. I used to be on Saxenda, but I couldn't get it filled and the weight came right back.

    However, I actually started gaining weight before I stopped taking it - because some big stressors re triggered my poor eating habits. Had that not occurred, and I was able to continue to lose weight and not sought out my poor habits before, I think it would have been significantly easier to keep the weight off.

    That being said, I think insurance companies are trying to delay as much as they can for these drugs to go generic. They currently just cost way too fucking much for something that can benefit most Americans because of shit eating habits.

    On another note: my sleep apnea didn't go away as I lost weight. I was very disappointed.

  • Who's a Little Tripping Hazard?
  • My ex wife has the family's neck breaker. He sleeps on the stairs like this, and purposefully darts between people's legs while they are walking.

    It's only a matter of time before he succeeds at breaking a neck

  • Garlic bread is communion with the divine
  • I love garlic, but it is a painful stressful experience for me if I each too much. Garlic bread is 100% effective at getting me to eat too much garlic.

    I regret nothing. Garlic bread and it's holy cleansing fire will be consumed.

  • [Purchased Bambu A1 mini] Low End FDM for Miniatures, Hobby Parts, and Messing Around?
  • I have done this with both, and honestly, the resin miniatures, while impressive, are a fuckload of work to remove the supports from, clean, cure, and dispose of the uncured resin and prep for the next plate. The hazard they present isn't terribly noticeable until it is. Ventilation is probably necessary for all 3D printers, but unless you have outdoor or purpose built external venting, resin will bother you eventually.

    As for FDM, you can do it, but it will never reach resin detail. On a 0.2mm nozzle, for instance it would clog too much, or print too slow and something would end up interfering with the print. A 0.4mm does alright, but you'll want to do some abrasive finishing and some thicker layers of primer.

    It also depends on your plastic, how much you are willing to tweak your printer, etc. unfortunately, unlike resin, once you dial in the settings you will have to monitor it as the plastic absorbs moisture, the extruder and other gears wear down ever so slightly. Ambient temperature will affect how well layers stick, and slight breezes will be noticable.

  • Wild New Study Suggests Gravity Can Exist Without Mass
  • It's a hypothesis - we need to be able to test it before it can become a theory. Think of this along the same lines as the solutions of the field equations that allow for black holes to be wormholes, or the correct configuration of spacetime can allow you to travel through time.

    It's certainly interesting though

  • Elon Musk Offered Horse To Flight Attendant In Exchange For Sex: Report
  • No, see, the real mistake he made was being a cheapskate because she definitely had a price, and he thought it was too much. The richest man on earth wanted some ez pz ass and was too cheap to get it.

    So she gets a $250k settlement and he looks like a pervert. Real smart man there.

    The morale, to me, is that you don't fucking sexually harass your employees, and if you do, you better fucking be ready to pay the consequences.

  • Neurodivergent threat
  • Wait hold on is this something that bothers other ADHD people? How did they know this was an effective threat? Is this wildly known?

    Is this why my parents would always turn the light on when I was in a room alone and I was sort of in trouble for forgetting my brother at the park?

  • Any LinkedIn alternatives?
  • The amount of jobs I've gotten through LinkedIn: 0.

    The number of people I have found from highschool/college/random person on the street who I can't find in Facebook: waaaaaay too many. If it didn't tell you who was looking for you, linkedin would be far creepier of a stalking tool. I mean, shit I've found people I've only seen a picture of. Now I know where they work, where they used to work, and went to school. By extension I now also know where they likely used to live and at least the general area that they live now (provided they don't work remote that is).

    The more I think about LinkedIn, the more I want to remove my profile.

  • How do long time married couples with a single income split finances (not seeking legal advice, literally the how)

    I'm talking like one person brought in all the money for a decade, then a divorce happens. Some of it makes sense - a house with mortgage, one spouse buys the other out of the house. Which is great, but if one spouse doesn't have the income to take a loan out to buy the other, does that mean that the spouse who does have the income has the choice to buy out or sell?

    Similarly, things like 401ks and pensions I imagine you can't just take out half the cash in them and give that to their spouse. Or does that have to be a loan for the amounts in those plans?

    Is it debt all the way down for both?

    In Today's Cliche Post: How the fuck do I meet new people locally?

    Let me set the stage: Newly single dad of a young kid. After COVID-19 I haven't done much outside of my home and taking care of my kid. I work full time-remote, and between the kiddo and leaving room for a hobby or taking care of the house, it seems like the only other thing I have time for is sleep.

    The thing I know is that this is likely an issue with my anxiety and anxious attachment. The conclusion we've arrived at in therapy is that I gotta meet people. I apparently forgot, or don't know how to do that. Where to meet people. It's not a big city, but 200k-300k people in the county.

    Maybe I'm looking for something of a strategy more than anything.

    edit: thank you guys, I really appreciate it!
