That’s exactly the way I would have calculated it, glad someone beat me to it though. Thanks!

Yeah, it’s this.

Oh man, it’s so disappointing that people would downvote such a classy post. I mean, you found a polite way to say “I don’t want to have an argument”, and someone would down vote that?! Wild.

Eh, the title is fine. This phenomenon happens to have an interesting name, but it’s not a lie, and “second sound” is an apt (if goofy) name for the phenomenon.

And honestly, this seems like a relatively important discovery in the world of physics. It’s gaining a stronger understanding of the fundamentals of how matter interacts. We know a lot about specific properties of matter, but we know less about why any given element might have those properties. This seems like the kind of thing that can help explain what’s actually going on, why matter sometimes behaves in unusual ways.

Right now you’re being a dick to someone, not the other way around. I just wanted to point that out, that he was being polite, explaining his point of view, and you’re basically suggesting he’s just to dumb to understand. That’s mean.

You could try smiling at people, making eye contact. If they quickly turn away, let them go, if they look back at you, you could say “hi”. It’s not exactly letting them come to you, but it’s also not at all aggressive or harassing, it’s just saying “hi”.

If you’ve already noticed something interesting about them, you could mention it. For instance, “those are cool earrings!” or “I love your t-shirt!”, or “What a cute dog! What’s their name?” If you’re insightful and actually noticed something they think is interesting about themselves, they might be inclined to strike up a conversation about it.

Capitalism is the woooooorst…

Sure, he wasn’t an engineer, so no, Jobs never personally “invented” anything. But Jobs at least knew what was good and what was shit when he saw it. Under Tim Cook, Apple just keeps putting out shitty unimaginative products, Cook is allowing Apple to stagnate, a dangerous thing to do when they have under 10% market share.

I mean… Cyberpunk needs to be on a physical card. Otherwise how would you slot it into your neck?

Wow, I have so much more context now. And honestly, it’s actually a lot funnier than I thought it was, thanks.

I guess a few agents get to slack off for a while rather than actually work. I know if I were in their position, I’d just be “following up on possible leads” for a while.

Honestly, for an FBI agent, it’s insulting to be asked to do special monitoring for an unelected official’s private business. They have more important things to do.

I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t forced to go ARM when I built that machine.

Officially, it didn’t, but actually it did. Officially it was the OS updates that made everything incompatible (and it did make more than half of my steam library incompatible) but it was those OS updates that were needed to support the new arm hardware.

So look at it however you want I guess, but there are a bunch of 4-15 year old games that run just fine on my windows PC, but no longer launch on my iMac. That’s not impressive backwards compatibility.

Oh yeah, render most of their already small software library incompatible for a 50% performance boost. It’s a sizable boost for sure, but not exactly looking at the big picture…

Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you’re a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it’s time…

Fuck closed off mobile stores, it’s all a scam.

Why are we ceding control over our personal computers to organizations who would limit our use of them?

If we have platforms capable of running arbitrary code then we should be able to do it.

It’s the money.

like in a store or on the street.

Well yeah, I think that’s part of what’s being said. I would say that in a store, or cafe is totally fine. On the street is a little weird, but in most public places it’s fine.

OK, but being very massive is not the same as what was being discussed.

Are you sure? I mean the word “heavy” was what I was going on, but there is a distinction I suppose.

You can also “lift” a finitely massive black hole with anything else massive.

Yeah, that’s true… But again, I do have to stress that there is no alternative to “finitely massive” you really can’t have an object of infinite mass in our universe.

Edit: So I guess it comes down to this: If “lift” and “move” are synonymous, then anyone can move any object of finite mass. An object of infinite mass can’t exist in this universe. So you could say that the answer to the question is definitively no, God can’t create a rock so big that he couldn’t lift it, at least not given the laws of physics in this universe as he created it. (For this conjecture we’re assuming God exists and created the universe).

If God created this universe he could in theory also create other universes with different laws of physics. So in that case, sure, why not, who knows.

Well I don’t know about any objects more massive than black holes. I think a black hole is really the only viable form a body can take once there’s enough matter in one place, like there’s an upper limit for the size of stars and after that anything larger collapses into a black hole.

An object of infinite mass is a contradiction, a universe can’t exist with a single object of infinite mass, it would consume everything instantly.
