I’m pretty sure I saw the thread that inspired this. Spot on meme, good work.

C’mon, where’s the trigger warning for folks with dental PTSD?

Also I came to post the Mitch Hedberg joke, that’s a classic 😁

Yes to all this. I picked up my original Steam Controller the other day and forgot just how crazy loud that thing is.

This 100%. Personally I’m happy with the build quality on my Elite 2, but I hate that it requires Windows 10+ to update the firmware. And it really needs a trackpad.

It’s not TIFF. This isn’t NASA imagery. PNGs do alright on compression for photos.

(at least I hope NASA hasn’t captured images of Quark)

Nice find. That one tells me 1401x1705 and 0.86 MB.

I wish I could do this for my dad. When he was young his favorite car was a little British roadster from the 60’s (he never owned it). I can finally maybe afford one.

But he already has a BMW Z4, and his joints and balance aren’t so good anymore so he struggles to get into that. He’d have the same problems, plus nowhere to keep it unless he sold the Z4. And I’m reticent to spend the money due to what we’ll euphemistically call changes happening in the US.

What is this, the rated-PG version? The classic punchline is “but I would never guillotine the janitor”.

Why is that PNG file 1.3 MB? Is it huge or just unoptimized? Is someone using it as a fullsize Quark poster or something?

They better put that in Forza Horizon 6 so I can at least drive it virtually

Wow that is some real AI slop.

Haha, well if it’s any consolation, nobody fully understands it. That’s why we’re still looking at various theories of quantum gravity or even random gravity.

It stands to reason. I’ve seen the documentary on the related cosmic genital phenomenon, which as I recall was titled Space Balls.

Hypothesis, sure. But it needs to hold up to testing better than Lambda-CDM if we’re gonna call it the best hypothesis.

I follow this stuff (as a non-physicist) so I understood it. It’s a pretty shallow article and mentions there there’s still evidence for the widely-accepted Lambda-CDM model. But like most coverage of MOND it declines to give good alternate explanations for specific key observations like the Bullet Cluster, gravitational lensing, and galactic outer rotational speeds.

So yeah a new observation that fits better with MOND than LCDM is certainly interesting, but it doesn’t flip the tables unless it does a better job explaining the prior phenomena too.

Ha, I clicked the comments to make this same joke. Have an updoot.

Let me file that under D… for Donut.

Sorry, this post was sarcasm, due to the many redundant posts in multiple communities. It was practically the only news in my feed today.

This. I stopped counting after 10 across [email protected] and [email protected] alone.

Haha. Oh hey, that’s Zach from SMBC. No wonder it’s weird 😆
