  • I assume nobody has replied yet because nobody can find a way to make the next line "did they send me daughters, when I asked for sons?" more transmasc than it already is

  • Perogy Pizza

    Jump

  • I know perogi are eastern European in origin, but the name feels like a Welsh prank to me. I've seen like 8 or 9 distinct correct ways to spell pierogi, none of which I'd pronounce correctly if I didnt already know how to pronounce the word pierogue. Your piroghi pizza fills me with the jealousy of a man who loves potato and cheese but the rage of a man who hates being made to consider the word pirogi.

  • Yep! To both I think? I remember back in like 2021 there was a paper where some team used lasers to induce radiation pressure in a beam of hydrogen and got it to cool down significantly, but I don't remember if they reached or were shooting for absolute 0. My napkin plan was thinking more along the lines of "optical vortex --> optical tweezers --> OAM molecules in the trajectory out of the way" rather than cooling them down. I'm pretty sure optical tweezers have only been achieved in close range lab conditions manipulating a very small number of particles, so the idea of doing it on enough particles to create a flight path and also at the distance you'd want to fire a projectile is probably unhinged

  • Study (N=16) finds absolutely nothing because their sample size is too small to meaningfully substantiate any conclusion.

  • Napkin math plan: a really big fucking laser. Use aforementioned big fucking laser to generate optical vortices; with the specific intent of creating a brief localized vaccuum state along the desired trajectory. This will require R&D during building. Concept is similar to how lightning works; "ionize" (or in this case, vaccumize?) a path, then send the payload. From there add in whatever condenser you need to generate solid forms of the substance you want to chuck and some kind of mag lev style launch rails to accelerate it into the vaccuum path. Theoretically if you can create an effective enough vaccuum along the trajectory, you shouldn't have to worry about the payload being affected by drag heating in transit.

    Possible? Probably not. Would the government give general atomics a few billion to try anyway? Probably

  • Ya know, I had a thought about this yesterday. The sound of fireworks isn't traumatic for me, but it's easier to tell people that as the reason I won't celebrate the 4th rather than telling them I'm deeply disgusted by our actions on both the global and domestic stage and I am ashamed to be an American, not proud. It's easy to say here on lemmy, but no amount of "being a hero" in the past will prevent the communities veterans tend to be part of from ostracizing you if you question the myth of American greatness.

  • You pretending it's unprecedented is privileged and incorrect. This the first time since the Japanese internments that white or white adjacent people have regularly suffered illegal search and seizure and been made to feel unsafe in public in the US. The person you responded to brought up plenty of precedent for stuff that's as bad or almost as bad that has been accepted treatment of non-white people in the states since it became a country. You don't get to accuse somebody of being disingenuous because they care about the plight of people you seem to be happy to marginalize by claiming and defending that this is unprecedented. The only thing unprecedented about the current state of affairs is that white people are suffering because of it too

  • I'm one of them, haha. My archives are nice and organized, but anything related to a current project I'm working on either lives on the desktop or lives at ~, depending on which machine I'm using. Automated output type files go into a structure (like any kind of processed or cleaned data), but figures? References? Drafts? FFA on the desktop. For whatever reason I just cannot function with an organized workspace

  • Gonna be honest, I'm not reading that slop. You open by telling me that I'm dead wrong, then immediately confirming that my guess as to your political leaning was half correct, which sets a very clear tone that you're here to mudwrestle on the internet rather than engage in a discussion. If you want to try again I'll talk to you, but I'm not interested in trading novels high on insults and low on reading comprehension with you.

  • I'm pro LGBTQ

    against trans-women in women's sports

    No, you're not pro lgbtq. You're a TERF at best

    against consumerism/capitalism, pro socialism. Pro government control on key infrastructure (water, gas, electricity) and better housing and support services. (...) pro taxing the rich

    pro merit success

    ??? Do you understand what any of those words mean? "Pro merit success" directly contradicts each of the social policies you claim to support.

    Pro climate policies

    I'm also against fossil fuel bans

    You're either lying about one of these or you somehow think we can stop climate change without stopping the most significant cause of climate change?

    Does the complete lack of internal consistency in your worldview not bother you at all? You have no defined political leaning, you have a bunch of emotionally driven contradictory political opinions that you clearly have little to no understanding of.

    Given that description, I'd guess you probably call yourself a centrist and vote conservative.

  • There's a huge difference between being progressive to attract women and being progressive and noticing that some women find that attractive. I'm glad you were able to work out/are working on your demons. I don't appreciate being accused of the same based on a comment that only relates to your situation if you make significant assumptions.
