What, do you prefer your anime girls P*rthian or something?

Hmm, the perspective is more surfboard-ish.

Their eyes light up when you use an anachronistic concept like "human rights".

I bet someone is trying it.

Fun fact, white people actually do look the same to rural brown and black people who haven't seen us much. It's all down to experience telling similar looking people apart.

The racist part would be if you insist it's objective reality as opposed to a skill issue, with an undertone of "and therefore they aren't fully individuals".

The owl is more ruthless than either Cato could ever be.

Ah yes, the old "graph of landmarks" style of map. Highly underrated in my opinion, some people have a mental GPS but fuck me if I do. It's suggested sometimes that they didn't think of making the other kind, but given the fact that they did land surveys and had words for cardinal directions I doubt it. They just didn't see the use, and didn't make the connection with arithmetic and algebra until Descartes thought to add in a vertical axis.

One thing I've looked for that doesn't exist is a modern periplus with GPS coordinates of the landmarks included. It could be way more compact than a traditional atlas, but just as useful.

Suuure. I've played this game enough to know that it doesn't matter what decision you make, someone is going to be loudly unhappy. This is always the case; it's not a game you can win by appealing to the true will of the shitposters, because that doesn't exist.

Love has nothing to do with it. Some people enjoy conflict.

Downvote away, my sparkly sluts.

MSN is cancerous and was barely usable the last few times I've been bamboozled into going there. Yahoo is the same, just easier to avoid. I honestly haven't run into the Google one.

They literally add nothing to the internet as far as I can tell.

I mean, it's a great argument for not going with actual fact checkers, unless you're volunteering to pay.

Not having one is also an option, but for my 2 cents the bot seems accurate enough so far, and it's easy enough to ignore if you really don't like it.

Ah, a voracious terrestrial archosaur, as prompted. But what's that in it's beak?

Get out of here with that actual talent. /s

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."

Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he's preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be "final".

They've hewn very close to the whole "unconditional support" thing, so I'm curious what that means exactly.

The Wikipedia article on Steiner constructions mentions it, but doesn't explain it, and the source linked is a book I don't have. This has come up in a practical project.

In air. This seems like it should be incredibly basic information but I can't find it anywhere.

Just watched this and thought it was dope. I especially liked the Roman buffets and Foreman grills.

I just watched Roman support on WIRED and it was dope, but it's not a meme.

People new to federation are wandering elsewhere. If the logged-in screen is anything like what I see as a guest, I'm not surprised. I found this through my own instance's search feature.
