To be fair, the effect of stuff being cycled back into the mantle doesn't destroy every human artifact regardless, given that some of our constructs aren't even on earth. Though I'm not sure that the odds of anyone actually finding one of our space probes is that high, the solar system is a big place after all.

I mean, how many people bought them even there? Isnt there like, one model that anyone has even tried to sell to the public, just from toyota stubbornly insisting that EVs wont work despite all the working EVs that already exist?

To be fair, if the standard is "literally everyone gets in", that isn't actually inconsistent

To be fair, murder gets a lot less horrible if the people you kill just get sent to paradise for eternity afterwards. Though of course there's still all the torture and slavery and that he wouldn't have thought this would happen, so it wouldn't be much of a defense for what he did, but it would lessen the severity a bit with that information added.

I'm not religious myself let alone a Christian, but I believe there is a group that follows this kind of "everyone gets in" logic, universalists

If a server and it's staff aren't located in Florida, do they actually have much enforcement ability?

So far as I understand, there is a common idea that Texas has the legal ability to leave it it wants, but it's just a popular myth as far as I'm aware. Whatever their state constitution says doesn't matter anyway, because federal law trumps state laws and as far as I'm know there's not a legal mechanism for states to leave again, it'd have to either get the government as a whole to make legal or possibly even constitutional changes to allow it, or leave illegally, either by force or by having a sympathetic government just not press the matter and just ignore the laws in question. I can't really see them getting enough support for the former two, they're too weak compared to the federal government for an actual war, and the current administration is not likely to just let them go, so I don't expect them to go anywhere unless one of those things drastically changes.

I just look at the port and the USB connector and see which side the plastic bit inside is blocking and which side is open, can get them right every time if you take 2 seconds to look at them

It doesn't run games? What is it actually expected to be used for then, for the average consumer? The only things Ive really seen VR used for thus far are games or game-like social apps, and some commercial purposes like certain kinds of training. Since this looks like it's been sold to individual consumers then, what are they expecting the use case to be?

I'm not sure if it's what you mean exactly, but every time I buy sour cream, I'm shocked at how cheap it is, compared to other dairy products

The article does mention the issue of safety and how to address it actually

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

The article itself mentions solutions to the issue of it being harmful to humans, either by putting it at a distance in the ceiling or just running air ventilation through it, or choosing a specific spectrum that apparently doesn't seem to be harmful due to being blocked by the dead cell layer of one's skin. The environmental issue though also gets talked about, and is suggested to be more the problem.

That sounds confusingly like something that someone would use to mock the current leader of China tho
