  • Could a nuclear bomb be delivered and detonated via a truck or boat?

    Jump

  • I am curious now on how much of it is about being worried about nuclear bomb, and how much is about people either knowingly importing illegally radioactive materials or worker forgetting that the big orange box is actually radioactive materials (believe me, it's way more common than it seems, especially with low activity parts)

  • How much damage could you do with the power to shoot cosmic rays?

    Jump

  • Considering that some cosmic ray reach energy in the Joule range, it would definitely be very bad.

    On the other hand, people would use you as a particle accelerator for research and that's damn cool

  • How many musicians we got here on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • !guitars@lemmy.world has like 2 posts a week, I am sure people would gladly see it going to 3 posts a week

  • What's going to be the final way that boomers pull up the ladder behind them?

  • Have you heard about Paris catacombs?

    Whats a good Linux distro to dip my toe in with in a laptop running Windows 11? Is there a decent longer form guide to doing it successfully?

    Jump

  • They are, for some extent, easier to use than others, until they're not, at

    The thing is that many well integrated distro have enough user friendly features to not need to go in the until they're not part. If the most complicated thing you do is install a standard package and a printer, you won't need to learn much.

    Obviously, if you want to program a driver to control a nuclear reactor, it's another story.

  • Is there a process by which courts check access logs of a server to verify the data hasn't been tampered with?

    Jump

  • The court itself doesn't verify any evidence. Both

    Being from a country with an inquisutory justice system where a judge oversee the investigation it seems crazy to me that the court doesn't verify the evidences

  • Lemmy, what conservative fearmongering do you find laughably incorrect?

    Jump

  • How popular are the Landau & Lifschitz physics lecture in US universities? One of the classic physics textbook is a Soviet one.

    And actually, I liked this aspect of the cold War over western Europe where you could get translation of both Feynman and Landau textbook to learn your courses.

    If COVID originated from a lab in China, do you think they should be penalized for it?

    Jump

  • Because, it seems less likely to think that China has the technology to build artificial virus, than to think that China hat built a research lab about Coronaviruses in a region where new strain of virus may happen due to biodiversity and climate.

    Then we can add the 5 years of reports saying that it's not the case

    What kind of communities would you like to see either created or become more active on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • What about !rpg@ttrpg.network which isn't the most active but exists, feel free to post content there.

    And pretty sure there is a video game community too

  • Are movie recap videos overdone on platforms like youtube?

    Jump

  • Post on peertube, less personon it, means less people are doing it.

    As you said, your goal is learning and gaining XP so who care if you do two episode and burn out?

  • Removed

    How do you feel about social media websites banning people for saying Covid-19 originated from a lab in China when that now seems to be the most likely scenario?

    Jump

  • When a scientific says low confidence it means no.

    At university when doing science we are taught the hard way that a result without units nor uncertainties is wrong, I had professor suppressing half of the point simply for that, even all the rest was correct. It sounds hard when being a student but actually untertainties/confidence index are what scientists care about

  • Anyone know what this symbol means?

    Jump

  • In most first world countries? Sure (even though it isn't what it used to be, but it would still be a nicer severance than expected if you're ready to spend a lot of money in legal fee or have an union providing you a lawyer).

    But I guess that in the US not thanking your boss for letting you work is a valid reason to get fired

  • Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?

    Jump

  • 3km is kinda far, even with a bicycle, I have a small shop down the stairs and a medium supermarket at 5 min walk

  • What old technology are you surprised is still in use today?

    Jump

  • Steam.

    Always impressed that a nuclear power plant actually, doesn't use much nuclear physics/engineering but is mostly a steam machine (with a top notch turbine)

  • How many of you microwave water for tea?

    Jump

  • Yes it already happened a couple of time. It starts boiling either when pulling-out or when putting the tea inside.

  • How many of you microwave water for tea?

    Jump

  • I did it when having no kettle,

    Main problem is that you don't have a good temperature control, sometimes, you get mid-walm water, sometimes you get boiling water.

    Even worse, you have this physical phenomena where water is above 100 degree but doesn't boil, and as soon you move-it it starts boiling. At best it's impressive but it can move into burn quickly.

  • Minimum sentences sounds like pretty bad. There is cases of legally wrong, morally right. Think about killing your violent spouse which while not being within the limit of self-defence is pretty different from killing your spouse. It's the job of criminal lawyer and prosecutors to come with reason to give a lighter/harder sentence and the judge job to listen to this arguments, compared with similar cases and sentence guideline to give the fairest sentence possible.

    A person who seek therapy, pay penalties to the victim, has now a job, and already try to be a better person at the time of sentencing has nothing to do in jail

  • What's your creative solution to solve the loneliness epidemic?

    Jump

  • As any other problems, it's an issue with political will

    • Have minimum delivery fee to force people to visit physical store over "online shopping" and promote farmer marker and city-centre (village-centre) shopping so people interact with each other
    • End-up US style suburbanization, these nice house in a quiet area are great to sleep-in but means you're away from every social activity, and when you're too young/too old to drive it turns into house arrest
    • Increase subsidises for non profit-club, especially for the one having under 25 and above 65 members If you go playing scrabble, theatre or practice Karate you stop being lonely
    • Carpooling parking and lanes to push worker to interact with people living nearby
