Is the blurry thing on the bottom right of the footage a gun barrel or something else?

Edit: I figured it out. It's sensitive data on the HUD.

Personally, I doubt that most enslavers would be killed had they been turned over to their newly-liberated slaves. Why act out in aggression when you've just won what you would have killed for before?

Even so, you as the enslaver have cast the dice and been shown mercy. Can't really sell that whole 'Black retribution' bullshit when the moment has come and gone without occurrance. I agree, turning the land over to the enslaved and letting them decide the fate of the enslavers would've done the US a load of good.

This art has no careful forms.

No clean lines.

No shading.

And yet,

It is beautiful.

I think I got it. It looks like you might have put some 'R's where 'L's should go in the first and fifth ciphers.

Ah that makes sense.

Are you suggesting making it explode? Cuz you've still got local witnesses to interrogate, security footage from the surrounding area, cellular telemetry data of area, depending. That'd mostly just raise the stakes for you, going from a disturbing the peace charge to a potential terrorism charge.

Goddamn, what a fun setup. Fires 9mm, right?

Doesn't look like you've added sling points to it yet. Where'd you get the stock for it?

That's pretty damn interesting. I imagine it'd take a couple days for it to be tracked down and a few more to be traced back to the maker.

I agree that this should be cracked down on when reported or discovered.

I imagine it wouldn't be hard to find users doing this by just crunching upvote data, but that kind of data analysis might get pretty cumbersome for larger instances.

The witch stalks them for days, picks them off when alone, and at the climax of the film ambushes them in the abandoned house. I'd say that counts as a persistent ambush predator.

I'd say that a witch creature which stalks trespassing videographers counts as an indigenous predatorial species of a local ecosystem.

Bruh, what cherry picking. Literally in the exact same movie you have velociraptors stalking prey in groups and the dilophosaurus doing their own patronizing thing. If we look to other movies, you've got Xenomorphs, you've got tremor worms, you've got pumpkin head, you've got Moder (The Ritual), you've got the Blair Witch, etc.

There're plenty of good stalking monsters in film, some of which that you don't even know are there till it's too late.

EDIT:also, we see literally a few scenes later the T-Rex come outta nowhere and grab a gallimimus no problem, so they're even shown to be decent ambush predators in the same movie.

This is a question regarding atomic and quantum physics, and any academic input would be appreciated. I am wanting some input on what level of trust I should put into this "Quicycle" group. It's a think tank comprised of supposed Doctors from CERN and research groups, and states their names. alot of their stuff raises red flags for me, though.

To preface, I was working on understanding how exactly, in 3d space, electron orbitals affect the magnetic field of their atoms. I'm wanting to better understand why atoms like Iron are more magnetic than others. I am not heavily plugged into the physics community, though - I'm mostly just learning out of personal curiosity.

I stumbled upon this group's periodic table of atomic orbitals, and it seems accurate on its face to a layman like myself. However, I start trying to research some of the terms and they're proposing things I've never heard of like pd-hybridization (where the p and d electron orbitals merge(?) to produce a hybrid orbital(?)).

I decided to look over their site with more rigor and I'm seeing things like Vivian Robinson: The Common Sense Universe (talking about 'common sense' when talking about quantum and "sub-quantum" mechanics seems really screwy) and M.A.R.T. (yet another theory of everything attempt) and I get a sinking feeling that nothing in this website is trustworthy for learning more in-depth physics.

Does any of this stuff look right to any Lemmy physicists?
