No the great filter is quite a lot more basic than that, things like unstable atmospheres, cosmic ray bursts, collisions, etc.

You’re on the right track though

#5 carried me through three degrees.

Mission is going according to plan

It’s about 22-24% efficient which is the same as a carbon engine.

Chemistry and physics, yo, stochiometric ratios. No free lunch.

The difference is the mass component of F = M•A

I’m sorry friend; I still feel that childhood demiurge of “the game”.

I got teary eyed this morning playing a particularly satisfying VR title.

I guess my advice is: Try virtual reality gaming.

Yes but 22 minutes is longer than 17 minutes

Think of it like a pizza oven

How well done is your pizza?

You’re the furry, aren’t you

Yeah, the dating apps are monetized to all hell, you guys have called it right.

I was on them a decade ago, and I’m classically handsome, mentally stable, good job, etc; went looking for a serious partner with similar life goals, and all I got was catfishing and trolls.

After I subscribed to the premium tier, I began getting messages from real people but I was so disgusted by the transparent greed that I swore off all dating websites and services and went the offline route, meeting my current SO through real life friends at a social event.

Starve the beast, as the conservatives say. Deny them their money.

I’ll take the furry :3

They got their old man sigh in text form

I bought my 7900XTX for $800, and have kept absolutely quiet about it.

Anyone who has asked me: “AMD sucks, CUDA better, buy NVDA stock”.

The invisible hand of the market is made of invisible delicious meat

There’s new games out with the same vibe, try uh, Helldivers 2 or that WH40K: “Darktide”

Haha, nice try, there is no reference material

Sol 3 doesn’t exist c:

This already happened.

There’s a story about a scout ship that landed in the Western Hemisphere of Sol 3, and they decided to talk with the locals.

They offered them anything they wanted from the unitary matter replicator, as a show of good faith.

Unfortunately the counselors had absolutely no idea what a “pothead” or “stoner” was and so the two humans left after each synthesizing a bushel (a long branch around 2 meters tall) of a cannabinoid dense Terran plant.

They lodged their reports that the species on Sol 3 wasn’t intelligent enough to understand technology given they requested herbs/plants from a machine that could produce literally any compound known to nature, including cures for many diseases afflicting their world.

The subchapter text was based on the vocalizations of the pair, who said: “Ayyy” followed by “Lah-Mao”.

:vivid shrug:

Anyone know the cost per kilogram?

Edit: Apparently $20,000/kg

I have an AMD card, add VLC as a game in the drivers, and you can turn on AMFM (frame gen).

If it doesn’t work you could just turn it on system wide in display settings of the Adrenaline Software (gear upper right corner, display/gaming).

I think it requires at least a 6000 series GPU however.

If you have a Samsung TV or other modern smart TV connected to a laptop, you can also turn on frame-gen using Auto Motion Plus, set to Custom.

Judder Reduction 10 is double frames, so 24 FPS -> 48.

Hello, expert solarpunk here.

TLDR: Car battery is 350Wh. Fridge uses 143W idle, so it’ll run a fridge for 2-3 hours.

Explanation below:

Car batteries are lead-acid (sulphuric acid and lead plates).

They discharge according to Peukert’s Law as the negatively charged plate gets covered in lead via the acid (electrolyte).

As the battery depletes, the negative plate can begin to take permanent damage, and so you can’t discharge a lead-acid deeper than 10-20%, or about 10.8V, with the safe limit being ~50% discharge.

Most 12V, 60Ah batteries therefore only safely store and nominally discharge 350 Wh @ 350W.

You can discharge that as fast as you want but the faster you discharge, the lower the capacity is (with 1000-1500W bringing you way down to like 65 Wh). Fridges have a surge when they start up to fire up the compressor. Starter batteries can take that, but once the refrigerant is cold, the fridge just maintains the temperature which uses a lot less energy - about 143W on average.
