@Thefactsdude American cops love to use force. Don't they teach them that force should only be used as a last resort?
We don't have this here in Europe.
@schitzree@LASHYBILLS Didn't they teach you in driving school that you need to be extra careful when approaching a crosswalk? People can always step into the street there, and children are especially inattentive.
Blaming children is especially foolish of adults.
@CookieBinary@LASHYBILLS Because the kids apparently walked blindly into traffic. The car wasn't even going that fast.
Not that the driver was any better. None of them had a ounce of situational awareness.
@LASHYBILLS WTF! Nearly 20% of people here think the kids are to blame? The kids were crossing at a crosswalk. The car was going slowly and could have braked at any time, it had plenty of time to do so. It actually looks like it was intentional. There’s no skid marks. Disgusting and immoral.
@acabtranssexual@stupidtechtakes Most modern OS support WebP. Issues only exist on older systems:
Old Windows (no native viewer support)
macOS (limited support in older versions/apps)
iOS < 14
In practice, the real problem is old browsers like Internet Explorer.
👉 Today, ~97% of users support WebP.
@_DarthMogs@FinancialPhys To quote you: "The math doesn’t lie."
The individuals mentioned above confirmed their hypotheses using mathematics and elevated them to the status of theories. That is mathematics.
@alphafox But these aren't just cyclists—they're athletes. They don't ride their bikes to get somewhere; they do it purely for the sport. Just as drivers aren't Formula 1 racers.
This is what a real cyclist looks like.
Máchajúce ručičky vo vzduchu a záplava nezmyslov, v ktorých sa opakujú slová ako “Šimečka”, “Obdobie 20 až 23” či “Červené denníčky”, to všetko patrí do povinnej výbavy každého agilného SMERáčika na sociálnych sieťach.
@FinancialPhys Not charlatans, but serious physicists:
Miguel Alcubierre – warp drive
Kip Thorne – wormholes (Nobel Prize)
NASA – the Eagleworks project, warp concepts
Reality today:
We can’t build any of this, but they aren’t nonsense, they are legitimate mathematical solutions to equations.

@FinancialPhys The comment section is filled with idiots and morons. Contrary to what these “people” see in movies and TV, interstellar travel is impossible and will always be impossible. The math doesn’t lie.
@FinancialPhys This person is a clear example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. He is convinced that he already knows everything and understands everything, and he draws conclusions based on that. A very unscientific approach.
Couple things.
1. Many of the problems posed in this video are based on the presupposition that science knows all there is to know about space and physics or at least has a firm grasp of it when the reality is, we don't know shit. We are still in the dark ages.
In the iPhone screen of space and physics, we are staring at about 3 pixels trying to make educated guesses at the whole picture.
2. This coupled with not knowing about the exponential acceleration of human advancement (10s of thousands of years of nomadic tribalism till we get to civilization, law, agriculture, architecture. 6 thousand years from the first ground machine to powered flight then 60 years to space flight....I can see how this guy would find deep space travel depressingly unachievable.
3. Scientists and engineers are never explorers of the unknown, because their superior knowledge of what they think is possible is much more clearly defined. As exhibited by the last problem which is "If we had the technology necessary to build the starships capable of getting around the speed of light and generating food and medical supplies from virtually nothing and able to self-repair, it would generate a utopia that no one would ever want to leave"
I don't even have the words to articulate what a lack of understanding of human nature such a person would have to have this viewpoint. Perhaps Agent Smith from the Matrix describes it best. Humans need a purpose.
