Praying for them to remain Anna-nymous 🙏

I wish piracy was stealing, because stealing from the rich is good

No like he literally bore the ring while Frodo was off getting imprisoned by orcs

In the book, the ring tries to tempt him by showing him a vision of a great garden, making Sam the greatest gardener in the world. Sam shrugs it the fuck off without a second thought

There aren’t enough data centers being burned down

I spent so much time playing Kerbal Space Program in the early days that my asshole still puckers when I see a return vehicle heading toward the water

I’m not a computer graphics guy, but I wanna math. Theoretically, if I wanted to make the smallest possible 3d model, I would define it as four interconnected points. Each point has x, y, and z coordinates, so each model takes a theoretical minimum of 12 bytes of storage. Someone who knows computers can correct me if I’m off by a bunch.

The lower estimate is around 100,000,000,000 stars in the Milky Way. That’s only 1.2 terabytes worth of my theoretical minimum 3d model. Doable! But you said all stars. The lower estimate is around 10^22 stars in the universe. That would be 120 zettabytes. That’s only a few orders of magnitude off from the total available worldwide datadata storage!

Edit: I might have thought of a way to define a 3D model in just 2 bytes. You need four points that each have values for x, y, and z. They don’t need 256 possible values for those, they can get by with two each. One bit can store two possible positions, so we can use as little as two bytes to define every point’s position with 4 bits to spare. Behold, a tetrahedron: 0000 0100 1010 1110

Each set of four digits defines the x, y, and z coordinates for each point, as well as one extra dimension. You could use those extra four bits however you want. An extra spatial dimension, defining a color, etc. The theoretically smallest possible 3D model. Take the numbers I said up there and divide them by 6. A model for every star in the universe, and it would only take 20 zettabytes.

And as we all know, technology progresses logarithmically and not exponentially

Do you just not really care about climate research and weather forecasting? Satellites give us more information about our atmosphere than you can shake a stick at, and they save more lives from extreme weather events every year than you can count. Not to mention GPS. You could rightfully call that a product of the US Military, but it is worth every cent that we’ve put into it

Why don’t more people use Linux?

the average Linux user:

You can tell he never intended to kill anyone by the fact that he had a bunch of guns strapped to his tank, and he drove into a building that he thought had children in it. The only reason he failed to kill anyone was because he was an incompetent piece of shit and the town was mostly evacuated in time

You’re so close, he was actually a shit baby

What the fuck it’s real

1. Coal. Set it on fire, use fire to boil water
2. Geothermal. Go down where the rocks are hot, use hot rocks to boil water.
3. Nuclear. Magic rocks get hot all by themselves. Use them to boil water.
4. Photovoltaics. Shape rocks into solar panels, use solar panels to power stove to boil water.
5. Concentrated solar. Use mirrors to reflect sunlight onto salt (a rock). Boil water with hot salt.
6. Put water in a glass tube. Use mercury (which comes from a rock) to draw a vacuum. Water boils at room temp under a vacuum.
7. Lob a space rock at the planet. Space rock vaporizes everything in a 100 mile radius, including water.

I’m sure we can think of more

Speaking from experience, we’re an hour behind because 20 people were 5 minutes late

The sodium probably gets hot enough to keep glowing overnight

Guess what I’m boiling with the power from that solar panel

It’s so crazy that we’ve found like six different ways to use rocks to boil water. You’d think there’d just be two or three

Hard to beat spinning a magnet to generate electricity, and it’s hard to beat boiling water to spin a magnet

Yeah but Trump said these astronauts are going “farther from earth than anyone ever has before,” tacitly admitting that we never sent astronauts to the moon in the 60’s and 70’s
