  • Weight Loss drugs could save airlines $580 million a year in fuel costs - Dexerto

  • It makes them eat less which they even can ignore

    What are you talking about? If they're eating less, then it's working at changing the behavior. What is there to "ignore" at that point?

  • You'd never get Kessler syndrome at Starlink altitudes.

    Starlink satellites orbit at around 550km, and get dragged by the little bit of atmosphere that is at that altitude. Each collision might make more debris, but the conservation of momentum means that any debris that gets kicked to a lower orbit will probably burn up on the atmosphere while any debris that gets kicked to a higher altitude will be smaller mass and therefore cause less damage on the next collision after that.

    Collisions can still happen, but the runaway conditions where debris begets debris won't happen at those orbital velocities and altitude.

  • Because the overhead of weighing passengers and their luggage for every flight would completely wreck the logistics and make it both unpleasant to fly and unprofitable to operate.

  • No, the drug changes the habits. It quiets down food noise in the brain (not always thinking about food), and shifts people's tastes/preferences in food. It doesn't change how the body processes food, it changes how the brain wants food. So the habits change pretty quickly.

  • The crack of a bullwhip is caused by the tip exceeding the speed of sound, around 750 mph/1250 kph.

  • Excuse me while I make my cold brew..

  • I weigh my coffee/water to keep the brew ratio the same

    Yeah, I developed my current routine by weighing, but because I use literally the same containers every morning I can eyeball the amount of beans or water in those containers and know that I'm basically at the ratio I used to measure. Maybe tomorrow I'll eyeball it, and then measure, to confirm I'm still calibrated at the right level.

  • That's why I love cooking communities. A lot of things really do just boil down to technique, and a substantial amount of the equipment necessary is commodity grade where almost any brand performs the same.

  • What events do you think would make it into the song We Didn't Start the Fire if it was extended into today?

    Jump

  • Yeah that's probably true of all Fallout Boy songs generally.

  • Making sure not to bring that energy everywhere takes a bit of practice.

    I remember an interview of Quincy Jones where he was just shit talking popular music of that time (maybe early 2010s), and ran through a bunch of examples, basically explaining where every musical element (particular chord progressions, instrumental combinations, beats/rhythms, etc.) that made it into whatever current popular song, was first pioneered by some recording artist he had worked with in some earlier decade.

    He obviously knew a ton about music, from classical to jazz to pop to hip hop to country, but it was an interesting glimpse into the mind of a person who was basically saying "I've realized there's nothing new to me anymore."

  • For some reason the music that came out when I was between 15 and 25 years old was the best!

  • If you don't make a conscious effort and invest time into creating new friendships (with considerable difficulty since you yourself are tied to "adult" obligations), you can end up alone with withered social skills before you realize it.

    One of the things I did when I was in my 20's and 30's that I'm really glad I did, was to always be willing to relocate. I did it about 5 times for new jobs, once for a new school, and twice for a romantic relationship (including with the woman I ended up marrying). I made new friends in each city, and kept those "new friendship" social skills over time. Now I've settled into a specific place with my family, but I have friends all over the U.S., know a little bit about a lot of cities and their neighborhoods and the local culture, and perhaps most importantly, know what I'm looking for in friendships and relationships.

    I made new friends in my 30's because I absolutely had to, living in a city where I only knew one other person. And now I'm still making new friends occasionally in my 40's because I like to: colleagues and neighbors and fellow parents from my kids' schools, etc.

    Not that showing the URL would've revealed that information. The URL includes the word "download" but that doesn't really say much.

  • I love science

    Jump

  • At a certain point my pattern recognition skills reached their limit to where learning each new concept was still the same, but I had a lot more trouble organically seeing and identifying when a particular technique was useful for a particular type of problem. Which is something that happens to a lot of different people at different stages of their math education, just happens to different people at different points.

    And maybe I could've stuck with it, or used it enough to where I eventually got it easily the way I had done with all math topics before that, but I ended up steering the rest of my engineering education into topics that weren't as heavy on that type of math. More programming and logic and microcontrollers, less electromagnetics and radio signals.

  • For me, the leap to multivariate calculus gave me a lot of trouble.

    Differential equations was doable but no longer fun for me, either.

    It was a combination of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations where I just wasn't having fun with math anymore. Those subjects represented the end of pure math education for me, and later engineering classes requiring knowledge in those were also not a ton of fun. Went from a self-described math and science guy to just...not describing myself in that way anymore.

  • Just to point out I've only commented once in the thread above, I'm not the same person you were originally replying to.

    Whoops, my bad. That does fundamentally change the nature of your comment, I apologize. My criticism was off base.

    My broader point is that I am fully aware of the fact that many feminist organizations intentionally and strategically attack problems that affect men motivated out of a bigger picture issue that primarily affects women. And that many feminist people and organizations choose to take on multiple issues, only some of which might be considered feminist causes. But as a whole, I think it's unfair to insinuate that feminists (either individuals or organized into organizations) don't care to devote resources to helping men. And that's the main thrust of what I'm getting at.
