sand hyper accelerated my z flip 5’s death. As much as I liked that phone, I’m not sure I’ll get a foldable again because I normally like robust phones I can keep for ages with a little care

oh, that makes sense

Oooh, not the store you’re giving the number to, but you can buy that number from a carrier as a dummy number for a discount because no one wants it due to prank calls?

Thanks. Why would that give a discount, though?

??

Why do places have discounts for that number? Guessing you’re american, I have no clue what that number is.

Are you sure? Lowlander air drives me crazy. Too thick!

No. Autumn winds suck, they crack my lips. Winter is miserable. Spring is sneezy. Summer is hot, so what? Best season for surfing. And I’m Australian, our summer is dangerous, but still my favourite season.

truckers often have sun cancer on the arm closest to the window/door iirc

The dinkus is my favourite punctuation mark! :D Although, the asterism isn’t my favourite way to write a dinkus 🙃

Thanks so much!

What’s the DE you want to use in the future? I’m not great with logos. Thanks 😊

Star Wars?

Trademark law seems like it’d be the easiest. Pretty sure that a journalist’s byline would count as a brand, and posting AI-slop under that brand without permission seems like it would tarnish that brand’s reputation.

I’m pretty sure that de-orbiting and incinerating the satellites cleans up space junk and prevents Kessler syndrome. Launching that constellation into space in the first place, on the other hand…

or a bo, if the tan is the same as the log in zoo

want to downvote, but it is a shitpost…

Assuming you mean chicken egg, and not just eggs (which @Sanctus@anarchist.nexus points out are much older than chickens) then it’s really a philosophical question. Does the egg belong to the hen or the chick? If it belongs to the hen, then the chicken chick came out of a proto-chicken egg, else the chicken’s egg came before it did.

Very weird of me to comment 2 weeks in the making, but this comment gave me a worm brain for some reason, like I’m RFK or something. Based on the idea that something is solar powered if it has any involvement with the sun at all, I wondered if I could think of a way to tie all non-solar powered sources to the sun.

• Tidal used solar tides, but non-tidal hydro can also be solar power if you consider that earth was formed in Sol’s accretion disk and water likely comes from comets pulled into the solar SOI (none of this is researched, just off the dome, no clue whether my yr 10 astrophysics is either outdated or completely misremembered)
• ergo, the use of earth’s gravity to power turbines via waterfalls etc is also solar power.
• Originally, I thought I had a gotcha with nuclear power, bc uranium DEFINITELY doesn’t have anything to do with Sol, no trees involved. But, because it uses water, you can use the same logic as hydro
• even for Voyager, which afaik just uses the heat directly sans water, you can say that the uranium itself was first attracted to Sol’s SOI before either being deposited on earth by asteroids or included in the accretion disk during earth’s formation. (tangentially, not sure how you make a fission reactor without steel, which uses organic hydrocarbons. Titanium?)
• The formation of the earth also allows attributing thermal and wind power to Sol.

As a result of me realising I’m wrong despite desperately thinking I was right, I’ve decided to dedicate all 3 rubles in my possession to develop a power plant that only uses cosmic rays and other interstellar radiation (as well as neutrinos if I’m allowed to say they’re not really captured by the solar gravity well despite having mass, which I’m pretty sure I won’t be allowed to do :c ) as well as fund interstellar colonisation efforts so that we can have extra-solar sun power, maybe hawking radiation and other fun stuff too. Escape the tyranny of the sun with me, brethren! Forego local Dyson-Swarms in favour of non-solar fossil fuels!

*stellar, not solar, the carbon in coal wasn’t formed by our sun but a different star far in the past
