Want to replicate the fast food taste?

Add shit loads of sugar, salt and butter/oil when you cook.

Like add three times more than you normally would, then add some more.

Why does our civilization send signals and our location into space?

Individually doing atmospheric analysis for every planet in the galaxy is probably an impossible task for a civilisation confined to a single solar system. Listening for signals is something our civilisation already does. If we discover radio signals from a primitive civilisation in the next star system over there’s a non-zero...

Pons_Aelius,

The big thing people over look when considering the we are broadcasting thousands od watts into space, they might hear use is SNR

Signal to noise ratio. (the more random stuff on a frequency the harder it is to read the signal)

Yes, humans are pumping out a huge amount of radio (etc) signals into space. it is not coherent or directed.

Thousands of antennae all over the world pumping different signals but from far away, they are all noise interfering with each other.

IIRC: Even if there was a radio telescope only a few light years away, all they would see pointing directly at earth would be static.

Pons_Aelius,

Yes. And 75% of car driver believe they are above average as well...

Pons_Aelius,

If you had been a fly on the wall, you would have seen the lines on the table...

Pons_Aelius,

If you are going all the way back, movie wise, you can start at Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan as the first one is not the strongest.

2, 3 and 4 make a good trilogy.

Pons_Aelius,

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Made mid '80's.

Pons_Aelius,

But point is valid for majority of America.

And everyone is in the US...

Pons_Aelius,

easy with the hatorade bro...

their goy slop

Obvious t is...

Pons_Aelius,

That has been true of every decide for at least a century.

Pons_Aelius,

Not a surprise, the good old days for each person is pretty much always when they had the most autonomy and the least responsibility.

Pons_Aelius,

Can I assume you were a teenager/early 20s in the 90s?

Pons_Aelius,

Standard practise.

1: Announce change you know will piss people off.

2: Receive expected backlash

3: Publish retraction.

4: Wait 6-12 months.

5: Implement change to barely a word of protest.

6: Profit (in the short trem...)

Pons_Aelius,

Centrists: It’s the same thing!1!!

Response from a country that does not ahve the death penalty.

Well, they are...

It is not how the state does it that is the problem but that the state does it.

There is no way to humanely kill someone who does not want to die.

Pons_Aelius,

Yes. That was my point.

You find it funny.

I find it sad that a nation that claims life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as founding tenets defends the death penalty.

Pons_Aelius,

That is a fine hair you are splitting there...

Pons_Aelius, (edited )

a whole lotta worse than regular executions

Only to the people justifying state murder. To the person involved, they are still dead either way,

To me the Saudi.Taliban methods are more honest, though just as mortally reprehensible as the USA's. The Saudi's are proud that they murder their citizens and are not afraid to show it.

Pons_Aelius,

Capitalism also needs a functioning environment to continue...

Pons_Aelius,

The sad part for me is not that cunts will sell out their nation for cash but how little money it actually takes.

TIL about the concept of Weaponized Incompetence, a psychological concept wherein you strategically fail to perform something you don't actually want to do (en.wikipedia.org)

This is illustrated by getting elected on a platform of erasing student loan debt and then pretending that you can’t do anything about it, or claiming to be against genocide and drawing out or never performing the process of pulling financial and political support for an ally who’s committing genocide.

Pons_Aelius,

Well, that turned political quickly.

Yeah...

After reading the title I thought of that person in seemingly every office'workplace who fucks shit up on purpose so it gets assigned to someone else.

Pons_Aelius,

Reads post and your comment. Checks what community I am viewing.

Well, it was fun while the fediverse was not just a cesspit of US politics

Pons_Aelius,

Current politics in the US: Our guy (that is ten years past retirement age) is so much sharper than your guy. (who is also ten years past retirement age)

The author, James Clavell wrote 6 novels set in Asia that span 400-ish years. Shogun - 1600 to the last set in the 1990s.

Shogun is one of the best but they are all worth a read.

My rating of the Series.

Shogun & Noble House tied for first. (both were made into mini-series in the 80s)

Tai-Pan

Gai-Jin

King Rat (his first novel, based on personal experence in WW2)

Whirlwind

Brain-Computer Interfaces And The Next Era Of Entertainment

Numerous companies such as multibillion dollar game developer Valve, and BCI software startup Neurable have already been for the last few years starting to look at ways brain computer interfaces can be commercialized and developed for use in gaming. Once speaking with IGN, Valve cofounder and president Gabe Newell was quoted as...

Pons_Aelius,

Is this before or after VR become the next era in Entertainment?

I can never keep these hype cycles strait...
