@willdepue Or, you know, like 20 since I'm really behind on my cardio 🙂

mitochondria are really underratedly weird. as far as i understand: they have their own weird separate DNA, your cells cant manufacture them & instead they divide like bacteria, are 100% inherited from just your mother, and you can have up to thousands of them inside per cell

@sciencegirl maybe they could put them on top of all the data centers they are building?

The total area needed for solar energy systems to power the world

@wilsonhlthcoach The market's broken. The job market is like Facebook marketplace where there's so much noise you can't easily connect the honest buyers with the honest sellers

My hubby, who's retired from his previous career but still wants to work, applied for a local warehouse job. Mon - Interview Tues - Hired. Did drug screen & submitted background check. This morning - Drug screen clear. Background still pending. Them: "When can you start? We usually start new hires on Mondays." Him: "I'll start Monday." The questions they asked him in the interview: "Do you have a car?" "Do you have a license?" "Are you a US citizen?" "How do you feel about someone who doesn't show up to work?" I guess they need to make sure he: Has reliable transportation. Will show up to work. Doesn't need an immigration/visa sponsorship in the future because they don't do those. There are tons of these types of jobs around my area. Definitely sounds like an easy job to get, yet there are still people complaining that they can't find work 🙄

@oprydai Your subconscious mind processes more information than conscious, and provides input to you via different part of your brain because the data isn't compatible with your prefrontal cortex. Lol jk dunno but something along those lines

explain intuition to me as im 5

@nyaraVT It's even worse when you're one of them and you feel lonely af

Maybe it’s because I’m neurodivergent, but it blows my mind how so few people actually want to be a good person. Good people are celebrated in movies, games and books, yet rarely does anyone in the real world actually care enough to be a good human being.

@RoyIsThaTruth It's just training for psychotic bosses of the future

Schools really need to remember that PARENTS are still the ultimate authority over their own children. If I decide my child is staying home, going on a trip, taking a mental break, or simply needs time away from school… then that IS an excused absence because I excused it. I don’t need validation from a doctor, attendance officer, superintendent, or anybody else to parent MY child. And let’s be real… some of y’all are way too comfortable acting like kids belong more to the school system than to their own families. My child is not a robot programmed to wake up every morning and perform on command because the state says so. Childhood is short, and I’m not handing over all of my child’s most important years to a system that thinks perfect attendance matters more than real life, family time, mental health, or experiences outside a classroom. If I want my child home for a week, send the work. If that’s a problem, I’ll homeschool and teach them myself. Reading, writing, math — none of that is impossible without a school building. And before people start with “they need structure” — structure starts at HOME, not in a classroom. Don’t send me threatening attendance letters like you have more authority over my child than I do. The school does NOT dictate my child’s life or schedule. My kids are on MY schedule. Not yours.

@is_OwenLewis I think neutrons are more of a biological concern, no?

This is actually huge news. Well on the way to more easily dealing with radiation in space. Korean scientists just created an ultra-thin radiation shield: thinner than a human hair, stretchy like rubber, and highly effective against both electromagnetic waves and neutron radiation. The new composite material blends carbon nanotubes (for blocking electromagnetic waves and conducting heat/electricity) with boron nitride nanotubes (excellent neutron absorbers). Even at minimal thickness, it blocks 99.999% of electromagnetic waves and cuts neutron radiation by ~72%. The material is extremely lightweight, flexible (stretches to double its length), and easily 3D-printable into custom shapes (honeycomb patterns boost shielding performance by an extra 15%). And, it performs well across a variety of extreme temperatures and environments. Lead researcher Joo Yong-ho explained: “This material represents a completely new concept in shielding technology — it is as thin as tape and as flexible as rubber, yet simultaneously blocks both electromagnetic waves and radiation.” Perfect for protecting satellites, spacecraft electronics, nuclear propulsion systems, and astronauts without adding much mass. It could also find uses here on Earth in medical devices, semiconductors, and terrestrial nuclear applications. 📸 Korea Institute of Science and Technology Source: space.com/technology/thi…

@HealthRanger The area requirements got me wondering... Are they building the matrix?

I have a rather unusual theory of what's behind the seemingly insane push for the massive global data center buildout. I debated even going public with this theory, because at first it seems so outlandish. But it rings true (you can be the judge). It took me an hour to cover it all, going deep into simulation theory and the so-called "delayed-choice quantum eraser double-slit experiment" as well as Melvin Vopson's Second Law of Infodynamics (not thermodynamics, notably). I've decided to go ahead and publish it Thursday and I'll share the links here. It's the only explanation that makes sense from all the angles, as far as I can tell. But yeah, it's not for the faint of heart. And no, the largest data centers have nothing to do with helping humanity. Something far more nefarious is afoot...

@DavidBCollum That's the company rate and absorbs all their overhead.

If my electrician charges $175 per hour, somebody is going to have to explain to me why you would spend four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to college.

@JoeTransue @oprydai Although your point is taken. Is it really, technically a crystal?

@JoeTransue @oprydai There is exactly one

why don't we make the tank square? when later on the wafer is to be cut in squares?

@CooperZurad Isn't that kinda the whole point of what we're doing here?

BambuLab sending legal notices complaining about reverse engineering and license violation is absolutely insane

@yacineMTB I think it would be hilarious if you start 3d printing 2d pages whenever needed. Like you'll have a tablet of recipes lol

My 3d printer is more reliable and cheaper to run than any actual 2d printer (I don't own any 2d printers, by the way)

@ChoochSkookum Can you take a secured loan?

>buy gold >gold doubles in price >try to sell gold >all the gold stores refuse to transact at the new price Is that rug still going on?

@lynasdf I miss random bs

every pc tower should have random bullshit in the front

@heavensbvnny I once lied and said that because i realized it wasn't helping

has anyone ever finished therapy. like yeah, im cured, no more depression

@Andercot That's a big ask in your assumptions

Assume the first wave of Reindustrialization is successful in its stated goals. Assume that hardware design, supply chains, and manufacturing gets as fluid as today's software cloud services. Hardware isn't the moat. Physics, chemistry, materials - science becomes the moat.

@Xaraphim Did they design an airframe below the endurance limit? I could actually believe it with that many engines...

Can someone tell me how the economics on the B-52 actually works out? This is a legendary aircraft, but what does it do so much better than other bombers in our fleet What are the main reasons that they continuously upgrade this old air frame?

@HormuzLetter Didn't the UAE break from opec?

BREAKING: The Fujairah port is burning after multiple Iranian strikes hit the only remaining UAE oil export outlet and endpoint of the pipeline UAE built to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
