Lost a good friend on Nov 11th, I last talked to them on the Oct 27th.

I've spent about 2000 hours with this friend, over three years, so a new friendship, but a deep and recurring one. Lately our schedules have not meshed (Since about February), so I've only see them sporadically.

The first 12 hours were rough, I'm getting better now, but still misty eyed. Given the frequency of our activities there are many things that just remind me of their absence. There is the aspect of losing someone, and that sadness... but there is something more here, with a 2000 hour mental model of someone else's behavior and reactions, the brain feels a little empty now that whenever anything triggers the 'oh we did this', 'oh they would like this'.... it gets short circuited by... and they are gone now.

I've lost people before, quite a few - sadly, but it never really had this level of impact. I suppose there is a proximity / frequency factor in the impact of a loss.

Rest in Peace - General.

How to define time? What are arrows of time? What's all the fuzz about entropy? What does it have to do with the Big Bang? What's the Arrow of Radiation? What is the Fork Asymmetry? Why do we remember the past and not the future? Is time a macroscopic phenomenon? And if god doesn't play dice, what game DOES he play?

They gave it a 5/5! Amazing.

There is a reason the art of war tells you to leave your enemy an escape. So they fight less intensely.

I think there was a reasonable chance after Trump lost the last election, if he was allowed to go fallow in the field peacefully, he probably would have.

However, the absolute avalanche of litigation, and prosecutions against Trump basically compelled him to run for president as the only way to get a respite or peace. I honestly thought Biden was going to pardon Trump for all possible crimes, just to let things settle down. it was petty that he didn't, letting a lot of prosecutors build their names by taking a bite out of Trump. Who, quite frankly, doesn't have his shit together, can't keep his mouth shut, always involved in comically bad low level fraud, and is an easy target.

Therefore, Trump had to run, had to win. Put 100% of his future into it, because that was his only escape.

Introducing a vertical circular bus - A giant O of belts and lifters fully connected allowing for input / output anywhere along the bus.

Pros :

• Modular, you can build anywhere on the vertical bus stack
• Limits spaghetti by providing a clear and easy to access API for all players.
• Very fast to reach all parts of the factory since everything is very concentrated into a cube of productivity.

Cons :

• Satisfactory netcode doesn't like SUPER dense areas, so it could become problematic for multiplayer.
• There is no priority mergers yet in Satisfactory, so if you want to prioritize a input to the bus you downgrade the belts/lifters feeding INTO the priority input, that way the belt will back up and the priority input will provide the bulk of the material.

Nevermind! Apparently a satisfactory community already exists and this is being redundant. [email protected] <- Exists and is awesome.

Let's suppose we could dump enough "breathable" air (whatever that means for humans) into the solar system that it filled the spaces between planets.

What would happen?

A - I imagine it would then become possible to fly airplanes between planets, perhaps balloons? Would space travel become easier or harder?

B - According to another lemmy post, we would start to hear sound waves from the sun (A constant jackhammer sound - delightful)

C - Each each planet become the center of some mega cyclone (like the Jupiter storms, but bigger)?

D - At some point the air above us wouldn't be pushing down onto the earth at sea level, could we survive the additional pressure?

7/10, no notes
