  • What media has your favorite worldbuilding?

    Jump

  • Delicious in Dungeon/Dungeon Meshi by Ryouko Kui.

    It has wonderful world building introducing it slowly over time without info dumping, or better said, there is a nerd in the world info dumping on his friends, who don't always appreciate it =D

  • Not true at all. Of course we also have a double s (look under Current Usage) in some words. "gewusst" is one of those words.

  • AfD would also be possible, except they wouldn't resign. So ok, you are right.

  • It's not so much nature lovers but social media "content creators" who are criticized here.

    There was a case I read of a man caring for a beautiful patch of flowers, but then it got famous on social media and those assholes went there in buses, took pictures lying in there and destroyed it. Heartbreaking to read about that one. Sadly I can't find that specific case anymore, but there are enough articles about the problem, like this one.

  • Probably all eastern block states. I know its true for example for East Germany.

  • Thanks for the confirmation!

    That was my source of confusion: finding out, how stuff works exactly is science. Even if we know the rough principle, the details might reveal some new things.

  • Here is my try at explaining it in layman terms, but I'm not 100% sure I got the meme completely right. I didn't do protein crystallography, only organometallics.

    Crystallography is the dark magic art of turning nice really small crystals into pictures of molecules (or more precisely: 3D maps of electron density) The scientist in the meme wanted to measure the same protein, but under different pH conditions, so either adding some acid or some base while the crystals form. Then they hopefully get different structures at different pH values and can make a nice video animation like a flipbook to show the change in structure.

    And I think the meme makes fun of the fact that the scientist did this experiment with a certain expectation and then that expectation happens but the scientist is surprised by it happening.

    They chose a protein which is a reductase, meaning it can reduce the oxidation state of certain molecules. Such a reduction reaction is often dependant on pH value in organism (I think), therefore changing the pH value changes what the protein will do in the crystallization solution.

  • It's a good one, but it is missing the fertility ritual angle.

  • Israeli diaspora minister says Lebanon, Syria and Iraq are not a real countries.

  • I would agree with you if he would be talking about the border regions alone. But he is (at least in the translations), speaking about the whole countries not being a country because of those border regions. And that is stupid and Oniony.

    Border regions not being under the control of the central government is a legitimate thing to criticize the countries for, but not a reason to call them not countries. Otherwise Ukraine would also not be a country by that definition, since it doesn't control all their regions currently.

  • Correct, they bought the rights to the movie to not have to continually pay royalties for it.

  • World now has five times more photovoltaics than nuclear power

    Jump

  • Yep, definitely not usable for a decentralized power grid. All those wasted PV cells on all those homes which now generate most of their used electricity themselves. Too bad that doesn't work.

  • All atoms higher than hydrogen come from stars. So in the end, everything is derived from fusion. Therefore, geothermal and fission can only exist because of nuclear fusion.

  • And? Nearly everything is a self inflicted problem. You could just lay down and stop bothering, so why don't you do that?

    Do I like long nails? Hell no. Does it affect me if somebody buys this keyboard to type and have long nails? Also hell no.

  • OpenAI is reportedly going all-in as a for-profit company

  • Yeah, that was a strange moment. Those in the company being for Altman, I can understand. They expected big returns of investment from keeping him around. But the outsiders on the internet cheering him on? Felt like Elon Musk in the beginning again. And yes I also fell for his engineer persona in the beginning. But I learned from that.
