  • The worst worst part is that's actually how it's spelled in novelizations (or at least how they used to spell it). Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio.

  • Hey, it could work out

  • To be fair you probably do need cash now

  • TIL Gravity is not about mass pulling other mass. It's mass bending time spacetime that makes other mass get closer

  • They call it the "fabric of reality" because that's a good metaphor to describe how gravity works. (Or at least I assume that's where it came from, I could very well be wrong.)

    When you stretch a fabric thin, and place something heavy in it, it's going to sink and stretch the fabric down with it. Then, if you place a smaller object next to the larger one, it's going to roll around the larger one, gradually moving closer as it goes down the slope created by the larger object.

    That might be hard to visualize, so here's a neat video I found.

    Edit: guys I think you're reading too much into this I wasn't trying to provide a foolproof explanation of how gravity works I was just trying to relate an interesting metaphor to a piece of linguistics.

    And I wasn't even right, a quick google search says the term predates our understanding of the universe. Its probably a coincidence.

  • TIL that in 2006, a woman named Edith Macefield turned down a reported offer of $1 million to sell her 108-year-old farmhouse to make way for a commercial development in the Ballard neighborhood

  • TIL that Mexico sent nearly 200 members of the military on a 20-day mission to support the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

  • These damn Mexicans coming over the border and providing disaster relief! This is Carter's/Clinton's/Obama's/Biden's/Harris's America!

  • Okay but like I was given an Ender 3 for free and idk where to go from there

    Maybe the fact that the family member who gave it to me didn't want it around anymore should have been a sign

  • What companies have made your blacklist?

  • This sounds insane, can you provide more context?

  • Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

    Jump

  • Well, I'd like if it were able to tell the time, and I suppose being able to respond to messages would be nice, though I don't want to pay for the extra cellular device. GPS would be cool, and I suppose the general fitness features but I think most of not all of them have that. I have a Pixel 6, so I was looking at the Pixel watch series, but the battery life doesn't seem all that great which is kind of a deal breaker since I will certainly forget to charge my watch. Oh! Sleep tracking! I definitely want that since I don't think I get very good sleep most nights.

  • I would prefer a smart watch if there was one I could afford that meets my wants.
