It works at the current 93 billion light years of observable universe (46ish in every direction)

38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.

10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.

I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of “hey you aren’t allowed to talk about that” or “you violated a mysterious rule sometime”

Slander is Spoken

Libel is Literary

Well I sure hope it does!

It would be pretty weird it if floated on cedar trees.

It’s weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first… Granted he’s very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.

And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.

then why is it so popular there

Because like many countries whose inhabitants come from a variety of places, you’ve got lots of people interested in their “heritage”

Since most people in the US can’t say their family has been here longer than a couple hundred years, and depending on the area no more than 100 or so, a lot of people wish to know “where they came from” so to speak. DNA testing is just easier than tracing a family tree.

I happen to be lucky enough to have a family member obsessed with genealogy, who traced down the last 1,000 or so years depending on which parts of the family and what areas they’re from, so I don’t need genetic testing to know 99% of my family is white as fuck with a couple POC from different continents and a native back in the 1700s. I don’t feel any particular draw to any culture, nor do I feel like donning traditional garb or participating in holidays, ceremonies, rituals, or customs. Some people do.

I totally get it if it’s not your thing, especially since that kind of mentality of “ooh let’s find out where our families came from” isn’t present in most other places in the world, and definitely not to the same degree even in other colonial areas. Personally I think it’s part of that whole “melting pot” ideology, but I’m just some rando on the internet.

Honestly even without my relative tracing the family tree, I would never have paid to give my DNA to a company for results with questionable accuracy. Shits weird, yo.

… So you’re saying there’s a chance?

So I’m gonna go looking once I hit “post”, but anyone got any links to specific cams?

To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.

“you are so beautiful…”

incredulous stare

“to me…”

monstrous roar from the other side of the mall

Well I know what I’m watching tonight… No joke my sister and I used to watch that multiple times a week as teens

“can we get you anything?”

“ice cream…”

“okay, what flavor?”

“it doesn’t matter… It’s for my ass”

That’s the point.

Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

It’s all designed to boost engagement.

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don’t use the official front-end.

Skilled truckers

I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

I’ve met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

And then I’ve also met some that couldn’t figure out their 13ft tall trailer can’t fit under a 12ft 8 bridge…

For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.

You know, it’s always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as “barbaric” or “Savage”, but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.

200 years ago, the local “doctor” will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he’s gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it’s last use.

200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you’ll be fine.

Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.
