Wait, wasn't it a metaphor for "some nuclear reactor so rudimentary that they could as well use steam engines"? I really don't remember it well.

Anyway, he's famous for running the numbers for some things. But yeah, he absolutely didn't do it for all things.

You communicated that part badly, your comment looks like you are saying it's false and the only reason people believe Evangelicals want that is because of AIPAC.

They have to practice their construction skills...

Star Wars even have a city covering an entire planet

Yes, they copied it from Foundation. Trantor has a perfectly fine reason for being the way it is, that would apply to Corusant too.

That is, if physics actually allowed them to be that way. Apparently Asimov didn't run the numbers on that one.

Even though those are very different procedures, I fail to see how the outcome could be any different.

american protestant denominations

One of the items Luther was protesting about was that churches were too expensive and ostentatious. So, no, unless you know if some protestants that aren't actually in the protest.

This one is too random for somebody to just invent.

Kudos for the author if it's fiction.

As a developer that learned it once, a long time ago, naturally I sign to the pledge...

I have some doubts if I should mark it NSFW.

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?

The links like !NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world.

I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world).

Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn't bring my login.

What is the recommended way to use those?
