You're not allowed to tell ChatGPT that Doppler and Rindler redshift have the same root cause.

How's it going?

So apparently this is how JOBS.NOW works. Any American, living in an American city, with tech skills, should be applying to these right now. Even if you have a job, even if you're not interested in leaving, this will cause SO MUCH TROUBLE for these scum companies.

Refractory wool is incredibly effective 👀

If the gamers were to start doing mass-carding, ordering random shit to random locations, Visa would back down IMMEDIATELY.

HHO YouTube is a wild combination of: 1. Let me tell you about this thing that doesn't work and is a fraud and a conspiracy theory I know for a fact because science 🤓 2. There's this magical stuff that solves all the world's problems no I've never been able to make it work, oil companies did this 3. Today we're going to build a very small nuclear reactor in the garage!

You know this old party trick with breaking a bottle with your hand by creating cavitation? It strikes me that building a larger scale version of this experiment could be really useful for high pressure experiments. There are three ways you could do this: 1. Put the part under test at the bottom of a cylinder that's partially full of water, ideally with a cone at the bottom to concentrate the force, and then hit the top of the cylinder with an air hammer or a spring loaded hammer (don't underestimate big springs!) that can build a lot of inertia quickly. Exactly the same process as hitting the bottle. 2. Put the part at the top of a cylinder with a piston at the bottom and use a hydraulic system to pull the piston down. You might need to use a different working fluid because water is likely to vaporize faster than you can pull the piston, defeating your vacuum. Below the piston should be more water, because any air that leaks past the piston rings will otherwise spoil the vacuum. 3. The last idea is to fill the bottom of the cylinder with water, and fill the top of the cylinder with a gas that shrinks in volume when it burns (e.g. Brown's Gas). You light the gas and the collapsing of volume causes the water to rush from the bottom of the cylinder to the top. You could further improve on this design by using a piston to push the water in the bottom of the cylinder up, thus compressing the gas and creating more energy in the collapsing cavity. - A thought that I can't get out of my mind, is the possibility that Stanley Meyer et,al actually DID create a water engine, but they didn't understand it, because what was actually happening was fusion. Not cold fusion, but normal high pressure high energy fusion, and the energy to trigger it was caused by cavitation from the collapse of Brown's Gas when ignited in the cylinder of the engine...

What's up with all of these new teenager-operated masto instances going up today? @fedi block bot (fed.dembased.xyz) is in overdrive...

You know what one of the crazies things about the US is? A cop can pull you over on the side of the road and be like "Please take this breathalyzer test" and you can say "no" because that's your right. But he can also say "please step out of the car" and if you say "no" then he'll beat your ass and claim you're resisting, because that's not your right. So the word "please", in US legal parlance, has 2 meanings: 1. Would you please wave your right not to do this? 2. By my authority I am compelling you to do this. And they won't tell you which one it is, or they may lie about which one it is, and if you do it and you had the right not to then it's assumed you waved that right. (AFAIK)
