  • That looks yummy

  • I think I see the problem. Tortoise should be where turtle is, turtle should be in that corner.

  • You cannot function or work towards a meaningful future if you are constantly drained from a lack of happiness. It's those moments of hope and bliss which drive us forward. To deny yourself those moments is to remove your drive for better times.

    It is not a matter of whether it's morally acceptable - you must be happy at times in order to renew your fighting spirit. To question whether happiness is OK is like questioning whether eating or breathing are OK.

  • McCarthyism is probably the most succinct answer. The Cold War directly aligned us against the Soviet Union, and a key means of villainizing the USSR and its citizenry was to paint their core governing beliefs as heretical to the American way.

    There is also no doubt in my mind that Socialism's strong connection to Union activity in the US also incentivized Corporate Barons to lobby against Social Politics hard. I have not seen any specifics about that myself, though. Modern lobbying efforts are well-known, though.

  • Has this been replicated, or is the report detailed enough to attempt replication?

    Summary Results and Conclusion:

    Results

    During a median follow-up of 8.1 years, compared with eating duration of 12–14 h, eating duration <8 h was robustly associated with higher cardiovascular mortality (HR, 2.35 95 % CI, 1.39–3.98]), but not with all-cause and cancer mortality. The positive association with cardiovascular mortality remained consistent across 8 subgroups stratified by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic factors, and smoking status, and survived 14 sensitivity analyses. However, the association with all-cause mortality did not survive many sensitivity analyses.

    Conclusions

    Although a positive association was observed between eating duration <8 h and cardiovascular mortality, further research is required to understand whether this risk is attributed to the short eating duration itself or residual confounding resulting from its contributing factors.

  • Yes.

  • Webseums (online museums) are great resources, but can be hard to find sometimes

  • That reads very similar to a dwarf fortress carving description.

  • Why do they hate the decorative throw rugs?

  • First, wildcat strikes, and strikes in general, were never legal per-say. They became legal when the US finally concluded that they could not stop unions from forming and strikes from disrupting production.

    Second, the NLRB's existence was specifically for the purposes of reducing interruptions in industrial production. The NLRB were never an efficient means of getting what you wanted/needed at work, they were mostly just a low-risk means of applying fines to an abusive employer.

    The labor wars are coming back in style, most likely. It'll only be a matter of time before armed strikes and similar matters start happening again.

  • Cheap ethernet cord sometimes has thin insulation on the inside, and because of that you're able to see the wire twist through it.

  • It's still magic. Even the folks studying the cutting edge eventually have to admit 'I don't know past this point.' We just happen to have an explanation up to that point.

  • They didn't. They said they work at an infectious disease lab. That's plausibly deniable enough.

    Dudes at Lockheed Martin can probably say 'I work at Lockheed Martin' without breaking NDA, but could very likely just say 'I work at an Aeronautics Engineering Company' to stay more obscure about it. That second example is at about the same level of detail as the 'infectious disease lab'.

  • Socialism in political theory is the idea that, at minimum, some systems should be owned by the collective - that's it. The Road system in the US is largely a socialist project, for reference. USPS was also a socialist project before it was privatized. So is our now mostly defunded education system. Our fucking amazing national park system was also a socialist project to create jobs during the great recession. And the only reason that these things are going downhill is because we've defunded them.

    Other things socialists want would be federally funded healthcare, a federally maintained train system, college being funded by US taxes, etc.

    Yes, stalinism, communism, and Maoism are socialist ideologies. So is social democracy, the Nordic model, and various others.

    You're brainwashed based on your reaction to that word.

  • No, these points strongly line up with liberalism, and that final point actually diverges from US leftist rhetoric ATM.

    Anarchists are pretty often saying 'learn to use a firearm for your own safety' right now. As in 'arm the LGBT' line of convo.

    Marxists are often saying 'learn to use a firearm, we need them for the revolution'.

    Hell, even US people who are strongly aligned with maintaining democracy are now saying 'get a gun so we can throw this shithead out of office'. I don't doubt this rhetoric is similar in other countries dealing with soon-to-be dictators.

    In the US at least, Gun control is currently much more aligned with liberalism than leftism. It's gotten that bad.

  • Yep. When humanity's dead or dying out, based on the backdrop they chose here. I don't exactly disagree, but I'd really like for us to figure our shit out before then rather than succumb to defeatism.

    Help your neighbor. The worse off they are the more likely they are to surrender without a fight.

  • It's alittle bit darker when viewed from the lense of Nausicaa, where humans are a dying species with no gaurantee of survival. Literal generations go by before Nausicaa finds the secret under the fungal forests. The vast majority of the world dies out before then. We also never see the ultimate outcome in the film, because it doesn't matter in the end. The world is moving on without humans.

    That message is a far cry from "things will get better. You'll see that day."

    Nausicaa says "No. The world is shit. You very likely will die before things improve. There's not even any gaurantee your children will see the world get better - humanity itself very well might not. But it will get better... someday"

  • That's very cool. I had not heard of ESEMs till you commented. I'll have to look into them more.

  • So it's just showing the different types of sensors that might be used for parameter measurement.

    Non-contacting is a device which does not need to be physically near a system to work, such as laser thermometers or many optical devices.

    Contacting sensors require being touch the system to work properly, such as conventional thermometers, oil-immersion microscopes - hell, even things like rulers count as contact sensors, since you can't an accurate reading unless it's up against your sample.

    Invasive-contact sensors integrate themselves into the sample for measurement. Thermocouples often will be placed into boreholes to measure the temp of a metal object such as a hot-end, various sensors are directly from feedback of a system (an example is looking at variations in a motor's electical signals to determine if it's experiencing resistance).

    Sample extraction is what it sounds like. Examples of this are sample augers, which drill a cylinder out of a sample, needles for drawing fluids as non-invasively as possible, and pipettes.

  • Most SEMs use a vacuum chamber to get their photos. Also, it's not uncommon to sputter a conductive coating onto the surface you're scanning.

    How the hell did they get this photo?
