@GamingAndPandas @QuetzaDrake It's like when you complain about traffic and Europeans come out of the woodwork with lectures on public transport. If the open road is American culture, then shitty weather is British culture. Go figure!

@QuetzaDrake No one has any issues dropping a few hundo on an outfit they'll maybe wear 1-2 times in their LIFE, but suddenly the same amount for something that they'll be using pretty much every year is a bridge too far.

You guys have been having a mass die-off every summer for the past 30 years, just fix it.
Christ, even a rat in a lab knows to eventually stop pushing the button that keeps shocking them.

Something for people who live in hot countries to remember before they go "LOL HAHA SILLY PEOPLE DIE WHEN TOO HOT, DONT THEY KNOW ITS HOTTER IN OTHER PLACES?"

@DoomerCoomer There's a creeping realisation that all the shitflinging between Reform and Labour leaves Restore high and dry

@DFossil4500 @SOPHONTSIMP @RobinWeep If you're close to the speed of light, then any tool that relies on light is too slow.

@SOPHONTSIMP @RobinWeep Plus, if you’re capable of accelerating to 0.9C, you’re obviously capable of putting telescopes/sensors and lasers on the nose of your ship to intercept hazards…
English
Most dust grains are no larger than a micron, but let’s say we go for a micron size silica particle, which is significantly larger than the median particle. At its mass and at a velocity of 0.9 C, you get 133 joules of kinetic energy, which is about as much as a bullet. So no, “several nuclear bombs going off” is total bullshit for the vast, vast majority of particles an interstellar craft will encounter
Derek Pederson 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇻🇪@DerekPederson3
Right. This is just one of *many* such issues. You're required to go at a speed so fast that a tiny dust particle colliding with your ship is equivalent to several nuclear bombs going off, and there is no real way to do maintenance in interstellar space.

@ChristinaTasty What they consider SUMMER is a random event for us, the rest is murky skies.

It's that time of year again

@Washakabla Instead of crying on the internet, maybe 'ave a swim, in it... Or, stop bitching about the heat.
English
Every year:
"Cor blimey, it's like Benidorm today, can't trust the weather 😄"
"I FUCKING HOPE YOU DIE OF HEATSTROKE LIKE THE OTHERS YOU TREE-HUGGING HIPPY!!! 🤬🤬🤬"
Tony Two Bones@XonyBones
Then shut the fuck up about the heat British bitch.

@ChannelPower05 @Voltlighter @katiserie I never used it, but my father insists it was the most streamlined and snappy for document editing. Given how modern software is unbearably sluggish, I can see the appeal.

@Voltlighter @katiserie So you think Windows 3.1 was the best one ever? lol
English
i love how windows 10 has been retconned into being a good operating system
Max@PingStruggles
Windows 12 better not break the cycle just because it’s vibe coded

@DoomerCoomer He didn't want to eat at the tables with noise and clutter around (somewhat autistic).
English
when i was a kid whenever we'd go through a drive through while travelling i always got frustrated because my dad had the nerve to want to eat too so we'd stop in the car park instead of driving but i loved eating while the car was moving so i got annoyed

@pongo1848 @dinotrakker Imagine looking down on the northern half of Earth from space. Now zoom out. You see Mars too. Which half of Mars are you looking down on? By simple convention, it must also be the northern half.
You're right in general. Uranus spins on its side, so this logic won't apply there.
English
@Washakabla @dinotrakker North is governed by the northern pole? Unless that’s the same for every planet I don’t think so

AI generation aside is nobody recognizing that these maps are fucking upside-down and backwards am I going crazy
Andy Ayrey@AndyAyrey
here is what mars might look like if you filled the oceans and let the simulation run for a million years or so

@JadeAtrophis Because most of our summer is grey skies, shunned by God's holy light.

I will never understand why the hell they call a "heatwave" that happens *every year* a "heatwave" when it's just SUMMER.
Joanna Hardy-Susskind@Joanna__Hardy
Bought a fancy end-of-bed fan before the London heatwave began and - honestly - this is the single greatest purchase of my life

i know up and down on maps are mostly personal preference ok

@RupertLowe10 Careful. Nothing Elon gives is for free and he throws a tantrum when rejected. He has a track record of this, starting with the cave diver and recently with Trump.
