Jojo, Lady of the West

You know what they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And this only looks like a beholder. No tentacles.

Still works in your house, but you might have to make the problematic person leave.

It’s probably aware of them, but generally no. Most slopes for driving on are smooth enough to be pretty negligible unless you’re going hundreds of miles or more, in which case fives of miles won’t make much difference either.

But if you’re traveling by bike those small slopes may make some parts of the ride significantly more difficult or easier, and for cars may impact fuel efficiency in a way much more significant than just counting the extra distance traveled. So many navigation systems will still account for slope, even if they don’t necessarily acknowledge the length of your path as precisely as you may have hoped

Government subsidy/tax breaks

Well, no. Perhaps I’ve been misunderstood.

If no evidence whatsoever for a claim exists, then there is no reason to favor that claim. This is an effectively rare situation, and basically only applies to things someone has made up whole cloth just now.

Likewise, the existence of some evidence is not necessarily definitive “proof” of a claim, merely enough of a reason to consider it further (such as considering alternative explanations or how well said evidence matches what we might expect)

In this case, there is evidence that somebody named Jesus may have existed, and however ideal that evidence may or may not be, it is about the amount of evidence we would expect to find of any given figure from his time.

I will say that while evidence existing isn’t definitive proof, the total lack of evidence would be convincing (in the other direction). That said, evidence does exist in this case, so

Edit: clarity

Where on the doll did the man page touch you?

I somehow missed the word “dead” in the headline and started to scrutinize why, exactly, it was newsworthy that some broadcaster was found on a Greek island.

Not without another reason to be talking to her. If she’s charging with you on the bus for a minute, go for it. But if she’s walking past you on the street, keep it to yourself

Trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

They generally refer to themselves as “gender-critical feminists”.

The first part “trans-exclusionary” is pretty self-explanatory. “Radical” meaning they believe the whole system needs an overhaul, and mostly comes from the branch of feminism that TERFs/gender-criticals grew out of.

But don’t worry though, it’s definitely not a genocide.

Iirc max efficiency of any light is around 600 lumens per watt, so a theoretically perfect light source that’s 7000 watts would hit 4 or 5 million lumens. Probably more like 3 million for real, physical lights that are only 80% or so efficient.

That seems like a lot more than you need unless you’re simulating the sun or something for a shot. So probably not an LED

Watts is what sets fires, though. It’s literally the “amount of energy delivered to the surrounding area per second”

1-2 kW is pretty typical for a single cooktop/hot plate or small space heater, so at least that same amount of energy put out by of those is going to be coming from that light. Some of that energy is in the form of the light, but at least a fair amount of it is heat, and “several thousand” could be a lot more than 1-2.

Not everyone gets their memes from fuck-friendly spaces

It depends. The light is definitely moving at c, no matter who checks and from everyone’s perspective, but as a consequence of that the answers to those other questions change depending on how you measure. The coordinate system (technically the “reference frame”) you choose changes the answer. Even more, time isn’t the same for each frame, so you even have to specify for whom it has been 1 hour.

c

Relevant xkcd.

If we know that time precisely and accurately, then we don’t know any other times more precisely than millions or billions of years ballpark

You mean How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb?

The silly thing is that they feel a need to justify it. They’re speaking English, every single word they say carries an incredible history of the world we live in from Rome to the speakers of Old Norse and otherwise. The simplest solution is a handwave: the creators translated everything out of Galactic Basic for you.
