communication from other parties is abysmal to non-existent in my experience

i can’t remember when was the last time that a big party said “that’s what we want, that’s what we’re gonna do, that’s the goal and we’ll make it”. it’s all accusing each other and a mudthrowing party.

the afd at least offers goals. they say “we’ll kick out the immigrants and take back our country”. that sounds good. at least it gives people hope. that’s why they vote afd

we need more parties that actually want something instead of throwing mud around non-stop. we need to go back to the basics and iterate about what people want and how do we get there.

so 60

ich kenne nur einen jürgen und der dürfte jetzt 24 sein, keine ahnung hab ihn das letzte mal vor 6 jahren gesehen

also ist kein alter name für mich

it’s highly unlikely, fluids stick together and make drops in the air which you can easily see and avoid. and also, come on, women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm floating through the air is even less likely that women getting accidentally impregnated by sperm swimming in the water of the public swimming pool …

there should absolutely be a shitty trash movie about this.

maybe there’s some lesson to learn here … “a platform is free if it allows outside links” or sth

yeah i always mix them up

in theory systemd is faster because it can do things in parallel

the old people don’t need money, they need resources. and who produces the resources? companies, with the help of workers. so if there’s an unemployment phenomenon, that means that enough resources are already being produced, apparently.

space elevators aren’t feasible, but a space pyramid is. just build a really tall pyramid, some kilometres high, it would work. though expensive.

Mars is better for launching rockets into deep space than Earth because it has a lower gravity field and also thinner atmosphere.

yeah there’s also antimatter drives which give an even greater effective exhaust velocity (which is the speed of light). the highest possible achievable.

none have been built, so far

game that secretly teaches you physics.

those are the best!

I have written a post about exactly this phenomenon, arguing that that’s how most animals/insects see the world (assuming their sense of vision isn’t good enough or they just don’t care to look up). Apparently i was wrong, even insects can see the stars and navigate due to their light (milky way navigation).

If the planet is massive enough, getting to orbit becomes a real challenge because fuel consumption scales roughly exponentially with the mass of a planet (delta-v formula, rocket equation).

This leads to an almost sharp cut-off for the maximum mass that a planet can have so that a rocket which utilizes chemical fuel (e.g. methane+oxygen) can still reach orbit successfully. This maximum mass is roughly 10^26 kg.

For reference: Earth’s mass is around 6*10^24 kg.

While other propulsion types exist, such as nuclear + ion drive, these propulsion types are significantly more complicated.

Interestingly, if a planet is too small, it cannot hold an atmosphere. There is a surprisingly sharp cut-off minimum mass for this as well, at roughly 10^21 kg.

You know what, i keep thinking that maybe, our universe is the only universe that actually functions. Like, if the universe was in some different way, it either wouldn’t work and we would therefore not exist to observe it, or it would be equivalent to this universe, i.e. maybe not exactly equal, but similar in some way, sothat we could form abstractions and arrive at the same universal laws that we have today. Including quantum mechanics.

What does “understanding” mean in this context?

I can perfectly fine do the calculations; That’s what “understanding” is, in my opinion. Feynman might be hitting on some metaphysical concept, but then again, what is that metaphysical concept, is it any different from pseudoscience, and do we really need it?

Idk i keep asking myself, how would it feel like to have 6 fingers, and are you able to move them all? Idk it just seems weird, but then i remember that i have 5 fingers too and i can move them just fine. So i guess it’s intuitive somehow?
