that’s basically chemistry. At relativistic speeds the electrons of the projectile don’t have play a significant role. It’s going to be atomic nuclei hitting atomic nuclei and the time it takes to go through the earth is like two microseconds for the projectile going at ( 1 - 10^-9 ) c. Even that, I suppose, is too long for the particle beam to scatter momentum from fusing with other particles, creating gamma rays, creating exotic particles etc. But we could just always go even closer to c? (on paper)

I think any matter going fast enough would do that. In the fast going thing’s perspective the earth would basically be just a thin membrane.

This is what countries with nukes can do to countries without nukes. Thankfully no jihadistic countries have them yet, but Israel sure is giving them good reasons to get some.

Salmon roe, sour cream and red onions on a slice of bread.

So should I buy a new GPU now?

Here some of the heat that’s left after heating homes is used to warm the city streets. -24° today, but still liquid water on the street.

More and more I get to be the first person in the world with a specific problem, because no one else has used this tech with this environment configuration. Developing a solution is sometimes satisfying, but it’s sometimes hard explaining to the PM / customer why such a seemingly simple thing can take months to implement.

But with PEDs that are known to be relatively safe, instead of RC stuff that was developed last tuesday in a chinese lab to beat the doping tests.

I mean all the good athletes are already doping, but the more untested a substance is, the better it is for avoiding anti-doping, but it’s going to have completely unknown side effects. Without doping testing the athletes can atleast use stuff with known safety profile.

Yeah I suppose you could fly them in from New Zealand or Okinawa.

You can’t get good strawberries out of season.

Especially thanks to social media. E.g. there’s a video of the ISS on instagram and the comment section is filled with flat earth people and other crazies.

The Norwegians posted the requirements for the IOC executives during the event and they basically want an orgy for the entire duration of the event, never have to deal with plebs, handjob from the King…

What does the source of the monomer have to do with disintegration, microplastics and harmfulness when burned? PE is the most commonly used plastic in the world. It’s made out of ethylene, which is about as simple as a molecule can be. Nothing prevents you making renewable PE, except it’s cheaper to make from fossil sources.

I wonder how much the GOPs are getting paid for fucking everyone over. Hopefully it’s at least a hefty bag of money. It would be sad for risking WW3 over $20k.

5% more annual spending in aircraft carriers and shit?

It’s also going to raise prices for opiate based pharmaceuticals like morphine and it’s also going to raise prices for opioid pharmaceuticals because it’s people in great pain that’ll have to endure the cost.

It’s been a while since the last time a Mongolian horde took over China.

We have an app to our occupational health care provider and you just basically slide a DM to a doc if you need a note (3 days or more of sick leave iirc).

Are the journalists also CIA agents, or is the org just funded by the CIA?
