It’s a depiction of what happens when Grok writes the kind of soft porn that is sold in paperbacks in airports. This kind of trivial writing is slop to begin with.
A secondary joke is that the story is about a womanewho looks over the shoulder of a man watching porn on his computer, while we the reader of the comic is also watching her over the shoulders as she reads her pulp fiction.
I think there’s a mathematical issue here: There’s no limit on living standards.
If we decrease the population, they’ll simply want more.
Billionaires buy the second yacht because it’s easier than transporting the first yacht to the other coast. On a smaller scales, I also buy 3 t-shirts so I can still have a choice of what to wear when the first one is in the washer. The choice is an unnecessary increase in my living standards.
If we go with your suggested figure of 500 million people, and these people should all have EU standards of living, we’d still be consuming more resources than the Earth can provide. It’s not the 8 billion poor people who are taking the toll on the resources. Removing them wouldn’t fix the issue.
I’d like to think that we can maintain a high living standard by technological advancement, but we do have to be realistic about it. Our living standards in the west are simply unsustainable, even if it was just us on entire globe.
Biosphere 2 didn’t fail at sustaining plants.
It failed because they didn’t account for the concrete structure sucking out oxygen.
Yes 22 would make sense to the alien.
I wish someone could do a modern computer that would be as easy to setup and start developing on and for.
There’s no such thing as “the peak of an average waveform”, since it doesn’t make sense to average them.
They range from 20 Hz to 20000hz, so they have lengths between 2 cm and 1700 cm and peak everywhere in between.
What he was doing was attempting to avoid phase cancellation from stereo, which is an actual issue. You simply have to place yourself in the center, so that the distance to each speaker is the same.
It’s an issue for low frequencies, which have long wavelengths, carry a lot of energy and are usually centered (to avoid phase issues in the first place), so it is both possible and audible if they cancel out after leaving the speakers. However, since they’re long, it also means that there is some wiggle room. Obviously there’s a perfect spot, but It won’t have any noticable negative effect unless you’re like 1 meter away from that and accidentally sit in the perfectly bad position. It is not as much of an issue for higher frequencies, since they have much shorter and more complex wavelengths, that are not necessarily centered in the first place. Even if they also theoretically do cancel out, it is unlikely that you would notice it happening at all, and if you do, you could simply move your head 1 cm to get into the right spot again.
In a car, the driver position is sort of fixed. It would make sense to angle the speakers for this purpose.
I have come to the conclusion that everything, from the largest galaxy clusters to the tiniest quark and all the laws of physics, is nothing more than a fractal caused by rotation in the initial moment of creation of our local instance of existence that we call the universe. There are no particles, no waves. Only rotation.
Based on your description I’m going to take a wild guess: Your father is a “functioning addict”.
It explains everything, including his self destructive behavior.
The picture is from 1970. John Cleese is 30 or 31 years old in that picture…
Cool…how can I get it?
They too should suffer my endless search history for obscurities. I want them to download all of my USB storage of virus infected malware. I will sit idly and tap my fingertips against each other while my SMS messages corrupt their society from within.
They won’t whine. They’re going to flip around and claim they never supported him.
Yes sure. I am speaking in general. Half the time I read that community, I only realize where I am when I see the mods calling other people out in the comments. It happens in every single thread, which is why I think they ought to make it more visible in every single post. It’s a great community and I do read it occasionally, so I don’t want to block it, just because I’m not allowed to comment myself.
That community hits “front page” quite often. It’s easy to miss the community name (and rules) unless you pay attention.
It would be nice if there was a brother community that had the same topic, and a default text in all posts explaining this and redirecting the men to that.
Are they still around? I heard they ran away. They ran so far away.
Pretty nice until the day inevitably comes where one of the RFID chips malfunctions and the fridge keeps insisting that you throw out something that isn’t there and you can’t reset the inventory without downloading an update from some company that doesn’t exist anymore using a profile that your ex has the password for.
Then you’ll wonder why you didn’t use to have these sorts of issues, and your kids will ask how you updated the fridge in your childhood. As an adult you are expected to know this stuff. With your authority being undermined like that they’ll stop listening to anything you say and start smoking crack after school. Now you have a malfunctioning fridge and junkie children. Thanks a lot, dad.
No thanks. I’ve got 99 problems, but a fridge ain’t one.
In threads like this I will always recommend Swordigo. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchfoo.swordigo
It’s an old side scrolling platform game. The gameplay is very nicely balanced so you won’t have to grind anything. There’s a few difficult jumps and tactics for bosses, but the difficulty increases gradually so you have a good chance of knowing what to do when you get to it, instead of being frustrated.
It takes a few days to 100% it. I think I’ve done it 3-4 times by now.
While you’re busy using both hands to disarm the one handed gun, your opponent has plenty of time to throw pocket sand.
I know it as Greek Breakfast.
It can be enjoyed anywhere or any time, but it’s best served on a balcony in underwear. Greece happens to be a good place to get it in the morning all year round.
Without marked spaces it’s impossible to say.
Someone can park perfectly in the morning, but then with everyone else moving their cars during the day, it can easily appear as a shit parking later on.
