Bloodlines are overrated
Facts don't care about my feelings, that's why I choose alternative facts.
For Thatcher?
Actually, the distance doesn't do weird things. If you traveled at slow speeds (up to like several thousand kilometers per second) time dilation and length contraction would still be negligible and your timing of how long the journey took would mostly line up with someone on Earth.
But if you're traveling a significant fraction of the speed of light those effects become non-negligible. That's where our normal understanding of a universal notion of objective time and distance breaks down.
The equations of special relativity are actually very approachable if you know algebra, you should play around with them and plug in some numbers!
Apparently political violence is okay to a lot of liberals if it's done semi-legally. Because I guess they didn't remember Hitler was within the law too.
I wonder if they suspend "Rest in piss, Thatcher"?
I think it was confirmed that a single bit flip could have produced that effect, but it's a huge leap to say it must have been cosmic rays. It could just be a hardware fault.
100000 years from an outside perspective, but because of time dilation you could make it take arbitrarily little time from your reference frame.
/dev/null is web scale, it maintains sub 1ms times no matter how much load you give it!
But I'm ecstatic in the bred isle

Don't make perfection the enemy of progress
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I've seen many people take absolutists stances and throw accusations or insults at others who don't. While I applaud that they recognized serious problems, I want everyone to understand why I might take actions that seem to ignore or even worsen those problems: I only have so much power and so many options, none of which are ideal, so I do the best I can with what I have. I might prioritize stopping one bad thing over stopping another; that's not me excusing the other bad thing, that's me playing the cards I have to get the least bad outcome.
Personally, I base my moral decisions on expected outcomes. I would pull the lever in the trolley problem. I understand some people think me a monster for that, and I certainly wouldn't feel good pulling it, but I see it as me net saving people. I disagree with people that wouldn't pull it, but I see where they're coming from and I'm not mad at them (disappointed, maybe). Of course, as well as pulling the lever, there may be options to try helping the one person on the tracks, and we should definitely attempt such a rescue.
This whole topic can be applied to the do-i-vote-for-biden thing that this community seems divided over, but it's much more broadly applicable too.
Anyway, this is just me saying that I don't think the absolutist all-or-nothing approach some people take is a good idea, and I also don't like when some of them call me a bad person for not doing the same.

Double bottom rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
A diagram of a "bottom meson" (composed of an unknown quark "q" and an antibottom quark) with an arrow labeled ":3" pointing to a "double bottom Baryon" (composed of an unknown quark "q" and 2 bottom quarks).

Both rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Two (presumably) girls lying in bed holding hands and looking at each other. The one on the left, labeled "Me" has shoulder-length hair, an uncomfortable :| expression, and is wearing a black hoodie, grey jeans, and sneakers. The one on the right, labeled "Also me" has longer hair, a subtle smile, a blush, and is wearing a dress and high heels.
Edited from this post, on which I commented "I wanna be both".
