Eclectic mix of interests, but too lazy to mange multiple accounts. Will chat about atheism, philosophy, MTG, scale models & kayaking. Be kind to one another.

@engineers_feed Of course it will. Thrust for an airplane is generated by the engines, not the wheels. They're just there to reduce friction. The most that's going happen in this hypothetical is the wheel bearings overheating and burning out.

@PolitiBunny You do realize that "partner" isn't just a business term. There are all sorts of partnerships that exist outside of the business world, including a life partner.

Gay or straight, calling your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, fiance, etc a ‘partner’ needs to end. It’s a relationship, not a business. It’s love, not a contract.

@0x45o Unknown. We can't gather any information from past the event horizon, so we don't really know what happens. Also our mathematics break down at horizon, so modeling is difficult There are a variety hypotheses, but they're all untestable. See above: no data past the event horizon

🚨 The Pentagon summoned the Pope’s ambassador to a closed-door meeting and threatened him. Named official. On record. Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby called Cardinal Christophe Pierre to the Pentagon and delivered this message: “The United States has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.” Then a U.S. official invoked the Avignon Papacy — the 14th century moment when the French monarchy used military force to physically remove the Pope from Rome and bend the Church to its will. The Vatican understood the reference immediately. The Pope’s planned visit to America for the 250th anniversary celebration was cancelled. And then something remarkable happened. The Pope didn’t retreat. He pressed harder. He called the war unjust. He called Trump’s threats unacceptable. He told Americans to call Congress.

@Wendigoon8 @mjarbo Up front I want to be clear that I'm not defending gen AI. That being said, as a naturalist/materialist your argument falls flat. I don't believe in any divine spirit or creative gift. People are, in a sense, biological machines processing data. We're biological generative AI.

It’s not your expression, it’s a machine given words that it uses to create a consensus of how other people have expressed it. Expression is your voice, not the voices of others serrated and dragged through a machine made to mimic your mouth. You express nothing, you forfeit your voice to allow the rest of humanity to speak for you. Here, you even say the ultimate goal is the erasure of human voices. Your “expression” leads to a lack of humanity, not a furtherance of it. Every iteration and invention of art has found new ways to allow us to culminate the human experience through sensation, but generative AI is cancer, it’s the cells of what we’ve already built spinning ad nauseam until all we “make” is what others have already made. It’s a dead end and lifeless, and goes against whatever spirit, soul, or God gave us the gift of creation in the first place.

Never unsubbed from someone so fast. No one is owed anything or entitled to anything. What you make of things is what you make of things, some people will get further than others that is just a fact of life But to diminish someone else for how they expressed themselves is rather bigoted, short-sighted, and ultimately will lose out in the end The reason why you see so many of these YouTubers coming out and saying that nobody deserves to make art, is because they're worried that they themselves will be replaced by those who are more capable of using the technology in the tools available to be better at the kind of content that they make The screed from wendigoon is just fear. Eventually somebody will make an iceberg list of YouTubers that failed to anticipate where the puck was going, and he'll be on there

@ClaireMax I agree with this as a general principal, but like everything biological, there are exceptions. If you're talking about one of those "obese like you see on TV" people who haven't walked any further than from their bed to the bathroom in years, then 10k steps might cause injury.

Walking is one of the easiest, most low-impact forms of exercise you can do. Unless you have an existing health condition, there is no universe in which you are going to harm yourself by walking more than 10k steps a day.
𐙚 ˚🍰 ⋆｡˚ ᡣ𐭩@sarvielle

please do NOT aim for more than 10k steps a day. i know it seems like an ‘easy quick fix’ but i’m telling you, your body is NOT made to endure this much stress on a daily basis. you will hurt your joints and cause lasting, painful damage. DO NOT DO EXTREME THINGS TO YOUR BODY

OK I may have a physics and astronomy degree but my god this is painful to look at. And the thread. Complete Dunning-Kruger all the way down with a few brave souls trying to explain very simple concepts… to be met with more gibberish. Stars are very far away. 😐

Now this picture is actually physically impossible to capture at 18,000 mph. This requires an open shutter which with any movement or disturbance will mess up the entire image. No getting past this. This is a test of our intelligence. All the stars should be streaking similar to a normal timelapse taken of Polaris in the opposite direction the “space craft” is moving.

@Freyy_is Yeah, they "shift slightly" all the time. The Moon is literally receding away from the Earth. We can measure it.

there is something in these photos that nobody is talking about. the earth, seen from the moon’s surface, is a crescent. the same shape we see the moon from earth. which means from where these astronauts stood, our entire world, every human being alive, every city, every ocean, every mountain, was receiving light the same way the moon does. dependent. reflective. not a source but a receiver. and God placed both of them, earth and moon, in a gravitational relationship so precise that if either one shifted slightly, the conditions for life dissolve completely. He did not just create them. He positioned them. He calibrated the distance. He calculated the tilt. He set the orbital speed. and then He rested. what that tells me about God is something i am still processing. He is not a God who creates carelessly and steps back. He is a God who creates with intention so deep that billions of years later, the greatest scientific mission of our generation goes out there and finds everything exactly where He left it. the craters on that moon are not evidence of chaos. they are evidence of endurance. of something built to absorb impact and remain. God put that quality into the moon because it is His own quality. He absorbs everything this world throws at existence and remains. unchanged. unshaken. still in orbit. still faithful. still holding everything He made in the dark.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

@mombaque The first time it appears in history, it's known to be a forgery. They knew the artist who made it. It's a piece of art, nothing more. Believe the bogus stories about it not being reproducible if you want, but that's just dogma. Not science.

Se o Santo Sudário é uma farsa, foi alguém usando tecnologia do futuro na idade média. Um cientista tentou reproduzir o manto e constatou que pra ficar igual seriam necessários 34 trilhões de watts no tecido durante um quadragésimo de bilionésimo de segundo. Aí você escolhe no que acreditar: ou foi mais um dos vários milagres de Jesus Cristo, ou foi um viajante no tempo com tecnologia ultrafuturística que decidiu ir pra idade média e forjar isso. É como dizem: às vezes o ateu tem bastante fé nas coisas que ele acredita.

HOLY SMOKES. Italian physicist Paolo Di Lazzaro spent five years trying to reproduce the body image seen on the Shroud of Turin—and couldn’t. Using intense UV light, his team was able to create small areas of discoloration on linen, but recreating the full image proved impossible with modern technology. According to biblical scholar Jeremiah Johnston, Di Lazzaro estimated the process would require an extraordinary burst of energy: "Paolo told me it would take 34,000 billion watts of energy traveling in one 40th of a billionth of a second to change the chemical makeup of a fine linen shroud to leave that image... 'We don't have that power on Earth.'" "There was a chemical change to the shroud that if it had lasted longer than one 40th of a billionth of a second, it would've scorched." This is incredible.

@Gynordico Well that graphic is wrong. The plane of the solar system is around 40° relative to the galactic plane, not 90°. The stars are so far away their movement is almost imperceptible. Like when you're driving & the nearby median moves quickly, but distant mountains almost stand still

@southside_mafs No, because genetics unambiguously tells us that the human race didn't descend from a single breeding pair. This is as scientifically certain as the shape of the Earth. A literal Adam and Eve are impossible.

@InspiringPhilos "More" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Saying the Bible is more historically accurate than the Quran is like saying that I'm more close to being a millionaire with $100 in the bank, than $50 in the bank.

Listen up, atheists... The mathematical probability that just ONE functional protein forms through random mutations under the pressure of natural selection is astronomically low. So low, in fact, that estimates push the required time beyond a trillion trillion years. Yes, you read that right. Over one trillion trillions. Take a trillion, then multiply that by a trillion… and keep going. That's older than the known universe. That's how many years you would need for it to be more likely than not (>50% chance) that just ONE functional protein forms through the currently accepted evolutionary process (BTW: this also assumes the surrounding biological machinery needed to make and use that protein is already in place). Biology operates on coded information (the genetic code). And when you’re dealing with code, you can calculate probabilities. Think of it like a bike lock. If you know the number of possible combinations versus the one correct sequence, and how long each attempt takes, you can estimate how long it would take to crack it by chance. Now scale that up to the complexity of functional biological sequences. Essentially, the math tells us that the known universe isn't even old enough for just one functional protein to have formed without guided influence (intelligent design), let alone all the complexity of life that we see today. The very existence of life in our universe SCREAMS the existence of a creator. Thank you, Have a blessed day
