We Finally Know What Creates Static Electricity, After Thousands of Years (www.sciencealert.com)

We finally have an answer: The beginning and the end of the sliding motion that produces static electricity experience different forces – resulting in a charge differential between the front and the back that results in the crackle of static electricity.

Like things we thought we nailed down in the 19th century and haven’t thought to revisit with modern methods and equipment. Then someone decides to look at it again and uncovered a boatload of previously unknown data.

“We thought we understood hiccups, but this changes EVERYTHING!”

(I dunno if hiccups are secretly a scientific black box or not, but you get the idea.)

You’re literally a flying squid! 🤦‍♂️

aeronmelon OP ,

Aww, did I spoil the episode for you? As punishment for my mistake, you get to watch all of TOS right away. :)

I think the issue with the console was that it started scanning and the Romulans could detect the scanner emissions. However, they were creeping around the bridge like the slightest noise would give them away, so maybe that’s not the watertight excuse I was hoping for.

She probably let him sit there and lie to her for an hour before trotting out the evidence, too.

That’s a picture of a dead man.

Random Screenshots of my Games #3 - Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint (lemmy.world)

This is my 5th most played game on Steam, mostly because I’ve played through the campaign solo once, then replayed it with a friend, then re-replayed with another friend. Plus, after the campaign is over, there are daily missions you can complete that change every day, so it’s not like you run out of things to do in-game....

Missile: approaches

Worf, from the Deep Space Nine episode Homefront:

“Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth.”

That’s the best way to describe what a Klingon is; Zero fucks, 100% of the time.

Underrated comment.

In Japan, a company called Calbee makes an expensive cereal that is oat clusters mixed with grains and seeds and chunks of dried fruit. It is the best cereal I’ve ever had in my entire life. It is naturally sweet and filling, I feel amazing after eating it, and I am ruined from going back to anything American - even the “healthy” cereals.

I had Frosted Flakes (or something like it) after being on the Calbee cereal for a couple of years, and I was so disappointed by how it just tasted like mushy sugar. No substance, no flavor.

At least it wasn’t a long-standing hardcore world.

Growing up, my family had an old cat. In the years before he died, I remember him panting more and more. I guess he got too tired to clean himself?

I knew airforceproud would have a video of this.

He’s very serious about sim flying, but his videos are really funny. This one is much more reserved, he’s just seeing the can stick the landing, but always pay close attention to the captions.

aeronmelon ,

You can’t convince me that that’s not an Orca.

Orcas have always been friends to humans that do not own yachts.

Constellation Energy plans to invest $1.6B to revive the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania and sell all the output to Microsoft for AI energy demands. (www.cnbc.com)

Three Mile Island was the worst nuclear accident in US history. Was mainly caused by poor design of human feedback systems which caused operational confusion and lead to a catastrophic failure.

That’s an episode of the original Star Trek.

He’s describing liminal space. It has nothing to do with being tricked into thinking you’re on a space station. It’s about being somewhere our brain knows should have lots of people, but you’re alone.

I’ve walked through train stations late at night and had those moments before. A gaping maw of a walkway meant for rush hour pedestrian traffic… completely empty and silent.

Edit: ??? I guess liminal space is really upsetting for some people.

My comment was in response to what the assistant producer said. Specifically, the very last line.

But you all do you.

‘It scared them off’, Kansas City shoppers report less crime thanks to security robot patrolling strip mall (www.kctv5.com)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A sight previously thought to be science fiction is very real at a southeast Kansas City shopping center. Instead of a police officer, a security robot has been patrolling sidewalks and shoppers are taking notice....

aeronmelon ,

The headline makes it sound like people are scared to report crimes because they don’t want to talk to RoboMallCop.

The Drew Carey Show has a lot to answer for with its “Cleveland Rocks” propaganda theme song.

Why does everyone in that picture look like they’re standing in front of fun house mirrors?

The otters came slowly, then they came quickly and in great numbers. The one Australian on the human team fell to the ground in a fetal position and started having emu flashbacks.
