How is this a science meme?

There’s still a few days left to file comments objecting to the change. Link in the article.

Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

The voltage in the chart represents the “ground” available inside the chip, measured against some better and more stable ground available elsewhere.

Still waiting for ISO timestamp support in OmegaStar.

UTC has leap seconds. We can do better. PTP/TAI for lyfe.

A perfectly logical clock would use a radio broadcast to count off seconds since a predefined epoch. Put a few of them way up high, so more people can see it, and make them so astonishingly precise that you could tell where you are just by listening.

That was when they replaced all the birds with bird-shaped drones. People think it was for surveillance, but it was actually to contain the Bermuda Triangle threat.

Invent a time machine, send a robot back in time to terminate their parents.

How is this a science meme?

To be clear, this glassware isn’t for the lab worker, it’s for chiral molecules that are left-handed or right-handed. As explained by famous chemist Walter White. /s

Thanks I hate it. Nope nope nope.

You’re saying that the rat in an icing bag meme is real!?

This is basically “Weekend at Bernie’s”, using the likeness of a dead man as a puppet.

Strictly speaking, you are correct. The key assumption for my statement above is that both objects are black-body radiators.

In practical terms, it still ain’t happening when the light source is a bunch of fireflies.

Aside: Lasers are a really weird case. The population inversion required for stimulated emission is basically the opposite of a classic thermal equilibrium. By some definitions, they are so hot their “temperature” wraps around to negative (i.e., less than zero Kelvin). That factoid took me a while to wrap my head around.

Unfortunately, this idea isn’t going to work.

Lenses and mirrors can’t focus a diffuse source to a sharp point. They are also reciprocal; any light that can move one way through an optical system can also move the other way. As a result, you can’t use a lens or mirror to heat something beyond the temperature of the light source. The net flow of energy is always from the hot thing to the cold thing.

For the sun, that limit is almost 6000K, so you can do some damage. For fireflies, not so much.

Bulletproof? Sounds dangerous. What do I do if it makes a weird noise?

I switched to Ubuntu a few months ago, and all my Steam games work just fine. Never looking back.

That’s correct. IM-1 in Feb 2024 and IM-2 in Mar 2025 both ended with tipped-over landers.

Headline is misleading. The Nokia hardware worked fine; it’s the host vehicle from Intuitive Machines that tipped over and ran out of power.

Short answer: No. Garbage in, garbage out. CSI-style zoom-enhance is pure fiction.

There are AI tools that will hallucinate more pixels, if that’s what you want, but that’s just plausible lies based on prior data.
