And to add the cherry on top, should you ever reach his arbitrary speed limit, it distorts time itself. Even if you flew through space at c for a little weekend getaway, you'd return to a now foreign world only to find time had skipped forward +2,000 years, your entire family and social circles long dead from old age with societal and technical advancements beyond what you could have ever thought possible, completely isolating you. You're now doomed to live in an unfamiliar world where not a single human speaks your language nor can they relate to you in any meaning way.
I build cables and it's truly an art for me. My custom cables are used on many of the biggest movies in the world on the production sound carts the sound mixer uses to record everything. I've also wired full professional camera rigs. I've wired many full cart builds from scratch, meaning every power, RF, timecode, video and analog and digital audio cable in the entire cart was built by my hands. If it connects 2 points, i built it.
I'm going to admit to tooting my own horn here because I've not seen cleaner builds by anyone else. When I begin a build, I plan and visualize the entire setsup and it's organization. It's like a puzzle from the order of operations to the configuration I use based on input from the mixer and gear used. I love it and I approach it as an artist because it truly is. Ive spent many many years learning how to build every single cable you'd ever find on a film set and build them extremely well.
Yeah. The sad part is that this was back in 1997. Their public education system is in far worse shape than it was back then. Wisconsin had an excellent and well funded public education system so I went from getting a really good education to about the worst possible you can find in the US. So glad I wasn't there long. Some of those kids are still there as adults, still holding out for a successful rap career and sending their little shit apples to the same school, repeating the cycle.
In 8th grade my family had to leave my home state of wisconsin to be in Mt.Ida, Arkansas for 9 months or so. During that time I had to attend the local public school and I remember the science teacher saying "matter cannot be created nor destroyed." I've always loved science and was a huge nerd during that awkward time in my life and I knew well it was ENERGY and figured she just said it by accident. Easy mistake. I said that it was energy, not matter, that can't be created nor destroyed and she argued with me and was dead serious when she insisted it was indeed matter.
I said something along the lines of hydrogen turning to helium inside the sun, and wouldn't ya know it, she didn't believe the universe was old enough for that to be true and only god can create matter... Yup, she was a 7-day creationist who wholely belived the universe was 5000 years old teaching science in a public school in bumfuck Arkansas. I gave up and a lot of things she said before finally started making sense but in all the wrong ways.
This bumb bitch was a fundamentalist Christian. The rest of the brief time I was there, and for the first time in my life, I didn't give two shits about a class that was usually one of my favorites.
Homeboy signed that thang with, "I am the LORD," too. I'm not a Christian but if I were, I'd understand that there's no two ways about whats being demandad and evern required as a follower of the Christian faith from numerous uno, the Don himself, in plane black and white.
I feel and live this way without such demands from the centerpiece of a religion and it's the easiest and best way to live. Life is so messy and brutally hard sometimes and the last thing any of us need is having to haul around a worthless 200lb sack of hate over our shoulder every step we take. Let it go and you're life will change radically for the better.
Got this exact same one. I just got "hello" but when I tried to just delete the message, I get this error saying I can't edit the message (pic below). Using lemmy.world. Maybe it's a bug or something? I'll have to check the settings because Id rather just never recieve dms ever. At the very least, be able to just delete them.
That statement alone speaks to his fundamental misunderstanding of what evolution is. Stupid people not knowing a subject, understanding their entirely flawed guess is wrong (I agree with them there) yet not realizing WHY they're wrong, then barring it because how ridiculous what they think it is sounds. Dunning something something Kruger something. I'm 100% for teaching kids that gorillas just dont turn into humans and actually teach them what evolution means.
So potentially a life sentence in a mental facility. That's far better than life in a federal prison. Glad the authorities had the sense to not just throw this kid in the slammer.
There's only one example I can think of where this isnt the case. I don't remember the whole story but I saw a YT video about this kid who got arrested for hacking Rockstar games. He ended up getting arrested and while in federal custody in some hotel room, he successfully hacked them again with a fucking amazon fire stick. After that he told the judge that we had no intention of stopping. Being under the age of 18, I don't think he really had any harsh consequences but good for him, that legend.
Edit: so he was 18 during the second hack. And GOT A LIFE FUCKING SENTENCE?!?!?!

Still not as fun as spin up/spin down quarks. Are they spinning? Not at all. And Charm quarks. What the hell does that even mean, science nerds? We also have the strange quark... aren't they all really strange or have you just completely given up?
