This universe being unfriendly to interstellar and especially intergalactic travel would seriously hamper a galactic civilization, and thus be less likely for us to notice them.

There might be hundreds of civilizations out there, each having only expanded to a few dozen stars, not caring to go further. Even the makeup of the interstellar medium might be incredibly dangerous, basically necessitating generation ships to cross. Large scale expansion might simply be too hard.

Don’t forget plastics and pesticides! Those get everywhere, and many are bioavailable by design.

Kelp farms? Domesticated bamboo? We need large areas of land to grow food anyway, we just skipped the charcoal agriculture step. Lathes and the three plate method are the real heroes of industry any way.

A slower ascension into the computing age could mean a more stable set of cultures and a more uniform global situation to avoid anthropogenic filters. Bright candles and all that.

It might have something to do with the available elements.

We live in a population I star system, full of crap spewed out from long dead stars. Perhaps it is exactly this crap (like copper, iron, nickle, manganese, and possibly the bulk of carbon and nitrogen) that allow life to develop with enough agility to survive mass extiction events with any kind of complexity.

Or perhaps it’s exactly those mass extiction events that have allowed enough breathing room for new paradigms to take hold. Maybe our 5-7 mass extictions that didn’t end life entirely are exactly what is needed to prevent stagnation. We just happen to be on the edge of dead and too slow.

That’s why a lot of us are here after all.

Also, who’s going to call them out on that? What court wouldn’t throw that out immediately? And even if you did win, the company wouldn’t even notice. You probably signed away the right to be part of a class action lawsuit in the Terms of Service anyway.

That’s true to a point. 50% gas by fill level is ridiculous though.

I’ve come across several sites with abhorrently short password limits, as low as 12.

Worse, 2 of them accepted the longer password, but only saves the first n characters, so you can’t log in even with the correct password, untill you figure out the exact max length and truncate it manually.

Even worse, one of those sites was a school authentication site, but it accepted the full password online and only truncated the password on the work computer login. That took me an entire period to suss out.

Except youtube, because dislikes were only used to call out scams and ads. The ad people got mad and now misinformation is easier to spread.

Mars used to be B tier, but it really fell off after the hypertsunami.

Pluto is here, so minor planets count. That leaves at least Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong, Quaoar, Sedna, Ceres, Orcus, and Salacia as vacation candidates.

There are 19 more planetary-mass moons to consider as well, if orbital designation isn’t important to your stay. (I’d say it’s a bonus, as you can see some sick eclipses.)

It’s usually stored inside the key fob.

DDG is bing though, is it not?

I think Randy is the reason I just completed my first EDD this week, despite doing Haz4 solo comfortably for the entirety of season 4.

Ehh, the fragmented nature helps prevent systemic abuses that encourage that redditoid behavior, and also encourages instance hopping more regularly than once a decade.

Dumping that reddit behavior should be a lot easier now.

Yeah, time-like paths are mind bending.

I’ve always though about that as the interior of the black hole has been left behind in the time direction, like a sausage casing.

The one with the plus at the bottom is female, the one with the arrow at an upwards angle is male.

ViaBedrock would be cool if it at least allowed building. World archival is neat though.

I doubt I’d be banned on my friend’s personal realm, unless microsoft have automatic anti-cheat running even there.

I don’t understand the meme. The figure is from a paper about false positive readings in MRIs, using a dead salmon supposedly thinking, and the meme is suggesting… the fish was alive?

Not much context + vague point = poor excuse for a meme.

Add the context that this is a dead salmon, then claim that salmon are immortal of something, idk.

I honestly like this usage better. It matches verbal useage (fourty dollars), and also matches other units (40kg, 40kph, 40cm, and so on).
