I mean, I see it all the time in like, military history books. But like, not in casual conversation or company statements.

Yes, but an over confident person will take a while to do so.

The real trick is taking a cube, swapping the placement of some of the bits, then mixing it up and handing it to someone who’s confident in their ability to solve a cube.

And if the blue portal is at a different angle than the orange portal, then… well, how fast is the milky way traveling through the galaxy relative to the universe?

The cube does have a non zero speed, it just depends what frame of reference you are measuring it by.

The question is: Is it the velocity of the object relative to the portal that matters or the velocity of the object in some other frame of reference?

In the later case, we must ask how the portals at different angles don’t send objects flying off at the speed of the milkyway’s travel through the universe.

The answer that requires the least assumptions and justifications is B.

It really depends on the part of the US. Amtrak is very reliable in the north east. Lot of the commuter train services are quite good as well. Subways and metros are pretty good in most of the north east as well.

Amtrak is much more limited in its coverage on the west coast, but still ok from what I’ve heard. BART in the SF area has good ridership although it needs some more investment, LA is doing some big expansions right now as well.

Chicago has a good but a bit old transit system as well. The Amtrak from NYC/DC to Chicago is a long but pleasant ride, about 18 hours; but this is to be expected given that the distance is 1146 Km (714 miles) which is about the same as Brussels to Warsaw, and most of the routes for that appear to be about 18 hours as well.

I’ve heard some rumblings about projects in the Pacific Northwest, but it’s not really something to write home about as it stands. Needs more investment and not to have the projects price gouged by contractors.

Some mid sized cities and towns all over the country will have decent bus services, some even a light rail or two, but it’s a coin toss.

The South West, Mountain west, South East and Midwest (outside of Chicago and the twin citiest) absolutely atrocious, like, you are basically screwed if you don’t own a car. Like there are a few example of decent local transit systems in particularly big cities but their ridership and coverage are pathetic given the size of the cities and there aren’t any plans for serious expansions on the scale that needs to be happening. Regional rail is just… hope you like a 2 week train ride where you’re spending half the time waiting for 40 mile long trains full of gravel to pass.

SF is also a one tick pony, and that one trick relies heavily on infrastructure built in the DC area. Namely Ashburne VA, which is basically the beating heart of the internet in the US. Arlington and Silver-spring as well are massively important as the headquarters of many important companies.

The federal government and companies closely associated with it are by far the largest sector of the US economy.

Putting Chicago before LA is funny. Putting Chicago in the list but not DC is hilarious.

So say we all.

The thing is that they rigorously review their code internally with In the project. It needs to be reviewed and cleaned up before it gets submitted. Someone who keeps posting junk is gonna get chewed out and ignored. So, the biggest issue with LLM code is kind of irrelevant. If someone useses it responsibly and finds a way to make it an effective tool, they’re not worried about it. Banning its use is kind of pointless since the worst outcomes are already banned.

Using solar energy directly is also always an option, a fresnel lens or convex mirror are great for heating things. You can even make things cold using an absorption cycle cooler (the kind of things used in “propane powered” camper fridges)

Just cook ‘em.

It’s only uncooked stuff that’s a problem. Make wilted spinach or collard greens instead of a salad. Steam some broccoli. Cook some fruit in to a pie.

Cryptosporidium is difficult to wash off, but easily killed by getting the temp above 150 for a few minutes.

Edit: just want to add, boiling stuff kills bacteria, parasites and viruses.You don’t necessarily have to reach boiling to ensure safety. More time at a lower temp often works, but at boiling point any living thing that is a danger to you will be dead instantly. So if you’re not sure, if you don’t have a source you can rely on, boil it. There are edge cases where this doesn’t apply like lead, or botulism(improperly done home canning). But generally, when systems fail and you still need to eat and drink, boil it. It will save your life.

Honestly, it’s extremely funny, because of how shocked he was that a giant steel ball damaged the “bullet proof glass”.

Bullet proof glass doesn’t just… shrug off bullets, it cracks and breaks without shattering and the bullets embed in it rather than passing through. The glass on the demonstration could very well have been “bullet proof glass”. The fact that he thought that meant “will shrug off getting hit with a shot put” showed how surface level his understanding of things are.

Like he pretends to understand the businesses he owns, like he’s some how involved in the design and conceptualization of products. But’s he’s just a business idiot claiming credit for the work his employees do, and making everything worse when he does get involved.

I wouldn’t call him left wing.

He’s more like… if gentrification in midsized cities had an avatar.

Most of those games have the majority of their player base on console, not on PC. Obviously people still play them on PC, but, the fact that they’re “the most played” ignores the breakdown of where they are played and how big of an audience will be swayed by their exclusion.

LOL not allowing Linux is probably a much bigger issue over all given that it’s player base is PC dominated and it’s still a huge presence.

The one benefit to these machines is that they always offer plain seltzer, some of the older machines have a mini tab for plain seltzer but a lot of places don’t bother to put one in.

Like no, I don’t want the sugar water, please, just let me get bubbly water.
