No. They are not.

Kitchen appliances like blenders and mixers are going to draw more power than USB-C is capable of delivering even at their lowest settings.

You are the center of the universe. A star, 2 billion light years away is also at the center of the universe.

Everything that is everywhere originated from the same infinitesimally small point that stretched out in to the universe we observe today. It’s not like a grenade going off, where you can point to a center and an edge. It’s more like proofing dough.

IF that is true, that means any “edge” to the universe must also exist at it’s center, and therefore be surrounded on all sides by the universe. It would look more like a 3 dimensional hole than a bubble we’re inside of.

How do you know that isn’t already happening?

Here’s another fun fact then, any “cosmic boundary” would be surrounded on all sides by the universe, and would simultaneously exist at it’s center. Because every point in the entire observable universe is the center of the universe.

Which again sounds an awful lot like a black hole.

So maybe there is a boundary. It’s all black holes all the way down. interconnected universes all pointing to each other through black holes and Einstein-Rosen bridges all feeding off of and in to one another. The dark energy accelerating space time’s expansion coming from beyond our local event horizon in a brief moment of feeding.

Space is everywhere, and it’s stretching. It isn’t expanding per say, it’s that everything that is everywhere is getting further apart.

You’re thinking of space stretching like an inflated balloon, and that’s a decent analogy but it’s far more simplistic than reality. If there is some cosmic boundary it would divide everything that is and exists, and the absence of any existence. It’s a boundary which light itself could not escape, and all future points of time exist only within that boundary. All of space time would fold back in on itself.

Imagine standing at that boundary and firing an arrow, a thought experiment first described by Lucretius in Pompeii 2000 years ago. He imagined that if he fired an arrow from the edge, then clearly the universe kept going, and if it hit something, then clearly something must exist on the other side.

But the arrow can only fall back in towards the universe at some such theoretical boundary. Because all points in time exist within that boundary.

Which is very similar to a black hole. Which is why some cosmologists have suggested that maybe we live inside one.

That sounds like a guy who would sabotage a condom.

That sounds like a guy who insists on driving.

That sounds like a guy who will get problematically jealous.

Cancel the date, if he reacts like an adult you can always reschedule. I suspect he won’t.

I think Ubi tried to capitalize on that with Skull and Bones, because you’re definitely not alone. They failed miserably, but they tied.

Min maxing is so irritating to me. DnD is bad about it but I find that seasoned players will find a way with just about any but the most basic systems.

unstoppable forces of nature aren’t necessary, and are especially unnecessary when the GM refuses to build a force of nature to counter them.

Idk. I like the people I play with, but the gameplay isn’t why I come back to the table every week.

There’s gotta be a mod for that, right?

Up until whatever came after Black Flag I was a die hard AC fan. Midnight releases and everything. And I’ll admit, the modern day sections are bad and jarring and completely unnecessary. At some point you’re a game developer wandering around an office and it’s obvious they had no idea what to do with those sections, because at that point the modern day story had been told. There was a brief cameo from some of the people you would remember from earlier games but it never got to the level of intrigue from 1-3.

Though an assassin’s creed game set in like modern day Manhattan could be fun. Watchdogs got kinda close to that before going completely off the rails.

Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up

Right handed, left pocket.

When I was deciding what went where, I drove a car with actual locks and cell phones were really only for calls, you didn’t spend all day looking at it. So my keys spent more time in my hands than my phone did.

Now it’s a habit and I can’t change it.

I try to be pretty understanding, I know a lot of Lemmy users aren’t speaking English as their first language and honest mistakes are going to happen.

That idiot was an American. Or a very well crafted caricature of some Americans.

Hey my grandpa served in WW2 too! You and I have that in common. And what I mean by that is the deeds or misdeeds of our forebares contribute nothing meaningful to our individual value as people. That is entirely up for you and I to do. It’s cool that you’re proud of him, but you’re also descended from a lot of other people that did both cool and horrifying shit. It doesn’t matter that they did it, you didn’t. For good or bad, you are judged by your deeds alone.

You’re*

How do you think Moses crossed it asshole? By waiving his arms around?? No. He built a land bridge of old car batteries that collapsed as soon as they crossed. Trapping the Egyptian army in an acidic brine that melted their faces off.

Jesus it’s like you’ve never seen Indiana Jones

FEED THE MACHINE

Are you talking about China or the US?

They can’t afford the land because it’s been turned in to a speculative asset by people like you.

People are entirely capable of caring for their own shit you absolute fool.

The land was there before you, it’ll be there after you die. You provide nothing of value. You’re a drain on society. Every single one of your tenants would be better off if you and everyone like you didn’t exist.

You can’t choose your relatives. But you can choose your family.

Some people get lucky, relatives and family are the same thing. I’m sorry you weren’t so fortunate, friend.
