HeckGazer,

Can we please just start charging these bioterrorists with manslaughter

HeckGazer,

Sort of. There’s one coming up in 2038 where the number overflows a signed 32 bit integer. Anything using 32 bits for timestamps is going to get a wee bit confused.

This should be the last time that happens though as a 64 bit signed int can carry us to something like the year 290 billion

HeckGazer,

What Peterson doesn’t understand could fill a planet

HeckGazer,

“Don’t be polite, be predictable” words to live by on any road tbh

What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

I’ve seen a lot of people on here be teased for difficulty expressing themselves. Either people complain “you’re using big person words to describe mundane things” when they’re aiming for precision or “woah, we don’t need that damn wall of text” when they’re aiming for clarity. It’s like people just want to...

HeckGazer,

gives money to a company willing to use denuvo on its customers

oh no, it’s the consequences of my actions!

I wish gamers as a collective weren’t so weak willed and actually stood up to this shit.

HeckGazer,

PIA got bought out
switched to express

Oh no

HeckGazer,

Australia has something kind of like this. Essentially the number of votes a party gets influences how many seats they get to fill. These party members then vote on stuff with even weighting but obvs the more votes you have aligned to your faction the better.

Who would win: Borg Cube or Death Star? (aussie.zone)

TranscriptionTumblr post by arctic-hands: > When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll “Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?”. Naturally, since...

HeckGazer, (edited )
  1. Cubes are fast at sublight, they would have to remain in exactly the right spot for a long time for the death star to unload the main weapon, making theorising about the main weapon pretty meaningless.
  2. The death star does not have shielding tech. This has all kinds of vulnerabilities.

They could have all crew teleported into space before the WO could say “huh?”

They could have ranks of borg assimilating entire critical compartments.

They could be tractorbeamed into the nearest planet or star.

Hell the cube could literally just fly back and forth through the star tearing it up from the inside.

Once shields go down fights are pretty much over and this fight starts like that.

HeckGazer,

When the homies in voicechat use my pronouns and it takes a little moment of brain lag to go “oh shit, dat me”

HeckGazer,

That’s… that’s not how it works…

HeckGazer,

You did not answer their question. They asked for Watts, not Watt hours. Average car batteries have a CCA in the range of 500 to 1000 Amps at 12V, so you could reasonably have 12kW in there :D

HeckGazer,

Craaab people, craaaab people, walk like people act like logic gate

HeckGazer,

Ahh yes, as opposed to those famous non-chemical pesticides

HeckGazer,

Surely a laser would be way more practical

Australia is bigger than some people overseas imagine.

So here's a quick comparison of Australian states to their US counterparts.

Tasmania is Australia's smallest state, with a total area of 68,401 square kilometres.

That's bigger than West Virginia, Maryland, Ha​waii, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, or Rhode Island.

Australia's second smallest state is Victoria, at 227, 444km2.

It's larger than Minnesota, Utah, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Missouri, Wisconsin, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, New York, North Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maine, Florida, or Pennsylvania.

Fun fact: Victoria is larger in area than Indiana and South Carolina combined.

Now on to the ones that might surprise you.

You know how Texans love talking up how big Texas is?

New South Wales is bigger than Texas.

And by quite a margin. NSW is 801, 150 sq km compared to 696,241 sq km for Texas.

South Australia is bigger than Texas, and Michigan. Combined.

SA is 984, 321 sq km.

Texas (696,241 km2) plus Michigan (250,493 sq km) is just 946, 734 sq km.

Queensland is bigger than Alaska.

Queensland is 1,729,742 sq km, compared to 1,717,854 sq km for Alaska.

That also means Queensland is bigger than Texas and California. Combined.

Texas (696,241 km2) plus California (423,968 km2) is 1,120,209 sq km.

You can add in Michigan too (250,493 sq km) and it's still only 1,370,702 sq km.

That's right kids. Texas, California, and Michigan combined are 359,040 sq km smaller than Queensland.

That leaves Western Australia. It's 2,527,013 square kilometres.

How big is that? Well, the combined area of Texas and Alaska is 2,414,095 sq km, so pretty bloody big.

HeckGazer,

All those people saying “when am I ever going to use mathematics in the real world” in utter shambles rn
