  • I wouldn’t be too surprised if you could achieve that kind of density for a few fractions of a second with explosive powered compression. I’m thinking something like the electromagnetic flux compression technique used by Nakamura et al to make the 1200T magnetic field back in 2018. The package absolutely wouldn’t exist for long though lol

    Yeah bruh. I don’t want to fight. I hate fighting and violence. I just want to make number bigger, and the gym is one of the only places I feel safe to have emotions. The fact that I can squat a quarter of a ton now is just an inevitable side effect of the first three things. Please don’t focus your inferiority complex on my coping mechanism

  • Paintballs are trickier than just a water balloon. They have to be rigid/strong enough to survive the blast of co2 or compressed air that propels them, then they have to be soft enough to break on impact without harming the other player.

    They also just aren’t that messy. I worked under the table as a referee at a Paintball place when I was 13, and we played such that gameplay didn’t stop when refs were doing paint checks. We’d toss people out if they were intentionally focusing on us but I got lit up probably 10+ times a day, every weekend for 2 years. My jersey and slider pants came clean in the wash every time, and to this day the only lasting blemishes are the shredded fabric on the knees/elbows/ass from when I dove and slid a lot.


  • Oh dang, I totally missed the name of this community when I commented. My knowledge of and opinions on rf connectors come from working on large aircraft mounted systems, where turbulence can cause a nightmare of threaded connector sleeves vibrating loose and bent pins. In this situation you either need vibration damping or a more mechanically robust connector like BNC


  • Man, corvids are so cool. My life goals include becoming friends with a murder of crows. I came close one time while training a pup to walk with training treats; she was super messy and dropped them all the time, and the crows started to recognize whenever we were walking and follow us to get those fallen treats. Unfortunately the pup loved to bark her head off and chase them around, and they did not like that. They even tried to drive me off once or twice by feinting diving attacks at my head






  • A spectrum does imply a total order, but I’d argue that the meme stating there is exactly 1 who is the gayest, OOP is referring to a strict total order. I’d also argue that the gayness spectrum allows degenerate states (heh) and as such is a non-strict total order, rather than the strict total order implied by OOP


  • I’m generally not a fan of the Chinese government or how they run their country, but the response to the evergrande collapse was downright admirable. I dream of my government letting overleveraged parasites hold the bag when their market manipulation crashes part of the economy, rather than calling them too big to fail and bailing them out on my dime.

    It gives people context for what kind of ai math I’m familiar with/formed my opinions about ai on (ie, generally lightweight transformer models rather than LLMs), as well as a small logos appeal of “hey I spent years of my life researching that shit, I at least kinda know what I’m talking about”
