There is no clear definition of what constitutes a moon other than it being a body that orbits another body that orbits the parent star.

There are some astronomers who say the dividing line between a moon-planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system and binary (or more) planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system is whether or not the barycenter of the orbits is within one of the bodies or not.

And fun fact: if that definition gained acceptance, it would mean that the Pluto-Charon system would go from a dwarf planet-moon system to a binary dwarf planet system. Charon could get a promotion.

Some large asteroids have moons too.

Assuming your math is correct (and I have no reason to doubt that it is) a mass of 10^16 kg would actually be a pretty small moon or moderately sized asteroid. That’s actually roughly the mass of Mars’ moon Phobos (which is the 75th largest planetary moon in the Solar System).

yes, but also in other situations too. It’s a valid name for water.

no no, the end user will somehow find the exact position in which the switch starts arcing and then they’ll work by the light of the fire in their walls.

I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.

If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.

pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.

And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.

Is an assembler not a compiler for an assembly language?

Is saying “I wrote code in assembler” not functionally equivalent to saying “I wrote code in GCC?”

Note: this is a genuine question, not sarcasm.

More importantly what would a dead salmon know about people?

Since you didn’t specify hydrogen peroxide, technically FOOF is a peroxide. And FOOF is a molecule away from being water.

Terry just wants to make your illegitimate pharmaceuticals look more legitimate. Its just good customer service.

There’s also the type that constantly has extra (possibly clarifying) thoughts in the middle of their typed sentences. So, they use parentheses to add those clarifications because having to retype the sentence would derail their train of thought and they’d then completely fail to convey anything.

Has Gigi ever once succeded at flirting?

The soluton to this is to bring back JNCOs.

Looks like it’s during Anime Expo, maybe I’ll be able to go check it out.

It’s saying that some new allegations surrounding libogc, a low level library used extensively in Wii and Gamecube homebrew, call the ethics and possibly the legality of any project using the library into question.

The headline itself could be a little more clear, but it makes sense after reading the article.

If the tools on display in the article are anything to go by, there is a distinct possibility they just got up their own ass.

It’s also a sizable chunk of ID.

I suspect over the next three years or so we’ll see a lot of graduations from both of those branches and newer gens will have a stronger focus on music.

I’d be willing to bet that by the end of 2027 we’ll see all of the following members graduate and pop back up as either an indie or a member of another corpo:

• Ina
• Kronii
• Biboo
• Shiori
• Gigi
• Raora
• Zeta
• Kaela
• Iofi
• Risu

Ollie and FuwaMoco I’m less certain of in that time frame but I doubt they’ll still be in holo by 2030.

I’m not so sure about it necessarily being bad for the talents. It seems more like Cover is doubling down on the “idol” side of things and trying to reinforce the brand image they’ve always said they want.

The shift in focus means music and concerts seem to be more prioritized. Which means more travel for the talents in order to get studio time, and fewer opportunities for non-music oriented talents.

The pattern I’ve noticed is that the talents who are leaving (and don’t have chronic health issues) are the talents who have more of a focus on streaming and less of a focus on singing and dancing.

There’s also been a shift in “vtuber culture” where discussion of “past lives” has less of a stigma around it meaning it’s now pretty easy for talents to retain their audience when they go indie or move to another corporation.

Combine that with the general success vtubers as a whole are seeing and it’s pretty easy to come go the conclusion that a lot of the less music focused talents will graduate and then go indie or join a less music focused corporation.

Streaming/vtubing is a job and just like most people who work a regular 9-5 will change companies from time to time, I think it’s only natural for vtubers to do the same. Especially now that it’s much easier for whatever success they’ve already had to follow them.

I think these graduations are a result of vtubing as a whole seeing broad success, Cover trying to get their brand image to align with what they’ve always stated it to be, and the talents deciding whether or not that fits with what they want to do. While I don’t think this pattern is particularly great for Cover in the short-term, I do ultimately think that in the long-term this is a good thing for both Cover and, more importantly the talents.

Of the latest round of graduations, this one is perhaps the least surprising.
