There's still atom-to-arom repulsion because of electron shells (that are negatovely charged) and attraction because of electron pairs forming a crystal bond, and other factors I don't know about.

My explaination is a gross oversimplification, and crystal chemistry is hard, but it should give a hint of what is going on.

That is something they may not be allowed to say for legal reasons, especially if other investgations are going on.

Not here to defend the multi-milion dollar company, but how can you connect selling someone else's stuff (which can be described by either extreme greed or a genuine mistake caused by dishorganization) and things like bullying and sexual harassment, which is not not even explainable by greed, only by being evil.

Like, they are not even comparable, it's like saying that one accused of murder is convicted because they once didn't pay their taxes.

Even then, everyine speaking english would make more sense than removing timezones

Ferromagnetism (permanent magnetism in iron and iron alloys) happens when iron atoms (that are small magnets themselves) align to sum their magnetic fields and form a strong one we can experience in the macroscopic world.

When the magnet is heated, atoms are more energetic and more free to move around, they misalign because each atom is repelled by the others (equal poles repel each other, so when aligned they are in a constant state of repulsion, but if the material is cold they are "locked in") and the magnetic field disappears.

When I first watched ENT I had no concept of polyamory and the idea of multiple wives each with multiple husbands felt so alien to me. And once I found out that poly people existed I never made a connection to my memory.

TIL denobulans are poly allies.

And they say Trek is woke now. It's just a perfect blend of different cultures.

If an AI is thinking of Ralph, does that make him live?

A small webserver for a personal website, a shared folder that acts as a cloud (or a fully fledged Nextcloud installation if you dare), a vpn to check your computer from outside and if you are content limited abroad (be careful with this one), a pi-hole to remove ads in your home network...

Also please remeber that "addict" doesn't mean "weak" or "lesser man" or whatever. We all have our own struggles, facing them is the most brave thing one can do.

It depends on the series, there's not a single formula good for all. If you want a dramatic "8 hours long movie" like The Last of Us, you cannot get a 24 episode season, because it would be boring/inconclusive, and the years between season is neede because these series are hard to make and take a long time. You can't have the cake and eat it too, it's either high quality series or one season every year (also see Fargo for an exmaple of this, one of the series I enjoyed the most and they take their good time to delived it).

If you like want less action drama and prefer extensive character and world building (see Star Trek), it's very difficult to do so in 12 episodes, so 24 was used to sprinkle small details in a broader picture, and while the "monster of the week" trope is sometimes silly (also see early Star Trek) it sometimes make sense in the universe of the show (like Star Trek Voyager meeting a different species ebery week because they are literally travelling through the galaxy, or crime shows where you a literally going through a detective's life one case at a time, while exploring their character and culture). With a lot of episodes you also have the advantage of being able to explore a ton of different topics and take your time to properly do it, more than an 8 hour movie can do. Also these types of series usually are less expensive to make so it's easier to spit out 24 episodes seasons every year (altough it's equally easy to drop in quality). They can also feel more "down to earth" insteaf of bombastic, if you appreciate this (like I do) they can be more enjoyable than the protagonist trying to save the world every season.

I believed the kinux kernel recently became real time?

Just because a CISC will run multiple instructions in a single clock cycle, it doesn't automatically make it faster. Complex instructions means complex decode logic, that makes the execution slower, even at the same clock cycle. A modern intel CPU has something like 20+ stages of pipelining, while ARM has 3-5 stages, that makes the execution more energy efficient and more powerful. Also superscalar RISC architectures exist, so RISC can also execute more instructions at a time, and in less time.

Lastly, modern x86_64 look like CISC, but are actually RISC under the hood, the single instruction is just a pseudo-instruction divided in multiple simpler instructions. I don't believe thay makes it much more efficient.
