  • My lucid dreams are unspeakably realistic, comprehensively and indistinguishable from reality. It’s like waking up each night into a horrible dystopia.

    In my nightmares, there’s a global autocracy, a kind of maximalism of pain which forces people into mass slavery, but it’s not even according to their whims, it’s simply a price for existing.

    I’d go on but it’s too spooky and sad.

    The rest of the time life’s pretty good.






  • There’s a non zero chance that Mars is a remnant of the planetary impact that occured to the Earth ~ 3.5 BYA. The issue is that’s a really loose hypothesis, but the speculation is that Theia - which impacted Gaia (old Earth) was an ice planet / water world, which gave us most of our oceans.

    Evidence of water evaporation on Mars therefore makes sense, as a catastrophic effect (such as planetary impact) would indeed cause the atmosphere to boil off, leaving behind these dry lakes and riverbeds.

    I personally haven’t spent enough time on Mars to make a substantial conclusion, there wasn’t enough time to do any science between the sheer insanity of basic survival on a planet that seems uniquely designed to kill you and crush your spirit before doing so.

    I totally approve of your analysis however, and it’s proof why geologists deserve a seat on the interstellar jumpships :3

    I live in NYC, and I read this story yesterday, and they didn’t shoot the guy for hopping the turnstile / not paying the $2.90, they chased him and tried to give him a $100-150 fine; but the guy lunged at them with a knife.

    The cops panicked and began firing because they don’t have H2H training, and their aim is obviously shit. It’s so shit, that I think they missed their taser shot as well before hitting random people in the crowd with their sidearms.

    Not defending the police but the meme’s a gross oversimplification. Those guys need more training and probably a suspension until they finish a full course of training, or a dismissal (or perhaps even up to and including manslaughter charges) depending on if the bystanders live or not.

    I wish shit like this wasn’t as common as it is. So many innocent people and dogs die each month due to police incompetence.





  • Haha this is funny because I’m actually a part time wish-granter:

    To subvert this particular wish, your phrasing is the key:

    You said:

    I wish there’s always fresh and delicious food I want to eat in my fridge at all times

    So the first part of your wish is:

    There is always fresh and delicious food in the fridge

    But the second part, begins with a capitalization, a subclause to the first clause, or dependent statement:

    I want to eat in my fridge at all times

    Your fridge is now full of good food that disappears if you try to remove it outside the confines of your fridge, and now anything you eat, MUST be eaten while inside of your refrigerator (i.e: Your entire body has to inside of the refrigerator), and refrigerator implies a standard size kitchen fridge, not an industrial fridge or freezer.

    I hope you like eating nutella snack cakes huddled inside your fridge for survival now 😎





  • Neat. It definitely looks like a BMW X5 from the side profile, with some of face lines cleaned up/changed.

    Front wheel drive seems iffy on a car of that weight, as well as range is lacking – 40 and 60 kWh won’t do 300 miles on a car that weighs 5,500 lbs, that’s just ignoring basic physics - they’ll do 120-160 miles if you’re lucky and drive entirely slip-streaming behind trucks, you need at least a 120-150 kWh battery for a high profile SUV (with a higher drag coefficient) to attain reasonable range.

    No other analytical complaints besides those - the interior looks great.

    Curious to see how much this costs at MSRP
