Came here to find this comment - it’s simply true.

Early on I saw videos of people surrendering to drones but I haven’t seen a recent video like that since so I wasn’t sure if the situation changed that much. You definitely explained a lot, thanks.

I haven’t checked, but are Ukrainians taking hostages at this point? Like, if he laid down arms and surrendered, would Ukraine take him in? I know they were at one point and I also know is can be very dangerous to claim surrendered soldiers too, depending on the context.

Sounds like something a commie spy would say! /hj

Consider this fact, some light waves like radio are large enough that a lot of matter is essentially invisible to their propagation; the radio waves just pass right by without any interactions. This becomes a similar problem when we try and measure such small quantum phenomena like zero-point energy. The quantum energy could be so small that they’re invisible to our detectors, but are in fact still there - the two scales simple cannot interact in a measurable way. So, there’d like still be some quantum energy, just less and less until our detectors could not interact with the incredibly small quanta for measurement.

Off topic, but this is the best Lemmy comment section I’ve ever read through: really diverse, mostly civil, super interesting and insightful.

You have to go further than that. A huge population only cares about itself and has made it a part of their identity. Those who have it well don’t have to think about those without: drive to or work from home, live and socialize on internet platforms that isolate themselves from the plight of those with less. They can order everything online and have it delivered to their door - they have no clue and depending on how separated they are from those struggling, they may just say, “those people just aren’t working hard enough,” or some similar line of thinking. It’s not hopeless, but we need far more progress in the US, especially with wage inequality and affordable living/homes. Jeff Bazos is allowed to help buy up single family homes so the rich can rent them out…it makes me so angry and sad.

The structures of our observable universe are larger than you might think.

If you’re truly interested in jumping into the rabbit’s black hole.

Mario is the plastic covered binder you walked in there with.

Illusions of Gaia and Secret of Mana 100% - they’re action JRPGs but have the same vibe in many ways.

I’m waiting for an Aussie to enter the chat…

STIM doesn’t include ethics, psychology, and sociology. It’s amazing how many book-smart people are terrible humans.

This is very likely the reason. Not all downhills will induce it, but the automatic is down-shifting to slow your acceleration. There are various ways for your car to know but manufacturers want the driver in control, not the environment. Depending on the car and speed you may not hear it, but when it slows down does it sound like the engine is revving higher?

I actually love both movies and the manga goes very deep, but I read somewhere in the thread that he was looking for series and not so much movies.

If you love GitS, I recommend Patlabor movies (though the 3rd isn’t very good), if you haven’t already seen them.
