I'd think mercury would be too dense to form bubbles. Though it does have a very high surface tension, so perhaps I'm wrong. I actually have quite a lot of mercury, but trying to blow air through it as a test doesn't exactly sound appealing.
Hmm, might be a Pixel / GrapheneOS thing.
Settings -> About phone -> Battery information
I thought they just meant a mouse cursor...
I'm at 943 cycles on my Pixel 6 Pro and it's still going strong. I slow charge it every night and try to avoid fully draining the battery to slow down the deterioration, which seems to have worked pretty well. Thankfully a battery replacement is only $50 so it won't cost much when I do have to replace it.
Idk about everyone else, but I'm only celebrating because it's the one day of the year when setting off large explosions is socially acceptable.
Six months later, all 10 showed considerable hearing improvement, with the average volume of perceptible sound improving from 106 decibels (very loud) to 52 (much fainter).
They're understating that a bit; that's an increase in sensitivity of over five orders of magnitude. 106 decibels is about as loud as a chainsaw; 52 is on par with a normal conversation.
Do deepfake explicit images created from a non-explicit image actually qualify as CSAM?
I've archived it on the Wayback Machine.
you must keep it in cash
you don't have an address, a phone number, [and] you can't interact [with] people in public
using just the internet and an email
What do you expect me to do, download a $20 bill from the internet and print it??? I guess the only realistic option is to walk around busy places after everyone's left and hope you stumble upon someone's dropped wallet.
?? is this real..??
Of course, didn't you hear about when 7 billion people got killed?
Either works fine; I just use screen out of habit lol.
If the choice is between depressing news I can do nothing about, and moth memes, please forgive me if I choose the moth memes.
I've always just run the server directly from the JAR in a screen
session. If you're just running a simple server and don't need the features of Pterodactyl it's definitely the easiest option. Just download the JAR from Minecraft's website to a new directory, and run with java -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar minecraft_server.1.21.6.jar nogui
(The page says 1 gig of RAM, but I'd recommend more if you have it available).
It's definitely quality over quantity here. Every upvote means a real human person saw my post/comment and liked it enough to upvote it. And I can even see who on Mbin!
I agree with most of your comment, but your math is very wrong. 36^12 hashes (lower case alphanumeric) / 126.9 GH/s = 33.7 million seconds, or about 1.18 years. Still way too weak for secure use, but about 16 orders of magnitude above the nanosecond range. How'd you calculate that?
That's a nice ICE vehicle, would be a shame if its windows were smashed and its tires punctured...
It's not hard to cause a lot of inconvenience with a little effort in a nonviolent way.
I knew what that one was going to be before even clicking it; some just stick in your mind.
Minecraft before the Microsoft acquisition.
To clarify, is it evil-ass rape, or evil ass-rape? There's an important distinction!

Clouds are unknowable and any attempt to predict them more than a few days in advance will be met only with suffering


The site this screenshot comes from, SpotWx, is actually really awesome for looking at weather forecasts in detail. (Most of their models are only for North America, sorry Europeans).

How much silver powder (by mass) is in this beaker?


I'll be drying the silver out and weighing it sometime in the next couple days. Closest guess when I do gets bragging rights! (And absolutely nothing else)
The scale was zeroed with the beaker empty, and it contains only water and silver (and a trace amount of copper nitrate). If you have a strategy behind your guess, please do share it!

There are probably fediverse instances being run by governments for surveillance purposes
The downside of everything being federated is that it's really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 1.94% chance to hit the Moon (according to my own calculations)


Hi, I thought I'd share this here since it isn't being covered by any news sources. It's mostly my own research and calculations, so it could be completely wrong, but I'm fairly confident it's correct.
Most of you probably heard about the asteroid 2024 YR4, which briefly reached a 3.1% chance of Earth impact before its orbit was further constrained and the chance dropped to zero. What you may not have heard is that the chance of lunar impact has actually been steadily rising. No organization is currently reporting lunar impact statistics, so I've been calculating the probability myself. I've created a Desmos calculator that you can easily plug the approach data from NASA into. As of now it's sitting at 1.94%, with the nominal approach being less than one lunar radius from the surface of the Moon (just 0.058 sigma from the closest approach).
