Gotta make sure to do it from a Russian VPN too.

I’d think mercury would be too dense to form bubbles. Though it does have a very high surface tension, so perhaps I’m wrong. I actually have quite a lot of mercury, but trying to blow air through it as a test doesn’t exactly sound appealing.

I thought they just meant a mouse cursor…

Idk about everyone else, but I’m only celebrating because it’s the one day of the year when setting off large explosions is socially acceptable.

I’ve archived it on the Wayback Machine.

you must keep it in cash

using just the internet and an email

What do you expect me to do, download a $20 bill from the internet and print it??? I guess the only realistic option is to walk around busy places after everyone’s left and hope you stumble upon someone’s dropped wallet.

?? is this real…??

Of course, didn’t you hear about when 7 billion people got killed?

Either works fine; I just use screen out of habit lol.

If the choice is between depressing news I can do nothing about, and moth memes, please forgive me if I choose the moth memes.

I’ve always just run the server directly from the JAR in a screen session. If you’re just running a simple server and don’t need the features of Pterodactyl it’s definitely the easiest option. Just download the JAR from Minecraft’s website to a new directory, and run with java -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar minecraft_server.1.21.6.jar nogui (The page says 1 gig of RAM, but I’d recommend more if you have it available).

That’s a nice ICE vehicle, would be a shame if its windows were smashed and its tires punctured…

It’s not hard to cause a lot of inconvenience with a little effort in a nonviolent way.

I knew what that one was going to be before even clicking it; some just stick in your mind.

To clarify, is it evil-ass rape, or evil ass-rape? There’s an important distinction!

Apparently I sleep very still, to the point where it’s somewhat concerning to anyone watching. I suppose that would make me a good cuddler, assuming the other person doesn’t assume I’ve died in my sleep lol. Haven’t had the chance to try yet though.

How else do u digest them tho???

Thoughts and prayers to all the light from the accretion disk that is lost forever to the black hole. Someday it will be reincarnated as Hawking radiation, growing more and more brilliant until the black hole finally evaporates in a flash of beautiful light.

Seems some people think accuracy is limited. That’s not the case. From the article:

Immediate access to satellite measurements and navigation results is disabled when the receiver’s velocity is computed to be greater than 1000 knots, or its altitude is computed to be above 18,000 meters. The receiver continuously resets until the COCOM situation is cleared.

The limitations are enforced by the GPS receiver itself. You can buy “unlocked” GPS modules without these limitations, but they’re harder to get ahold of.

People who are actually smart, regardless of their IQ score, know that IQ is a terrible measure of intelligence and would never brag about it.

Yeah that is waaay too small for a Skittle.

You’re right! Let’s say we have two dice:

D₁ is fair and has a 1/6 probability of rolling each number from 1-6.
D₂ is weighted, with probabilities P₁, P₂, P₃, P₄, P₅, P₆ to roll each number.

We roll D₁, and get a number with the following probability distribution:
1: 1/6
2: 1/6
3: 1/6
4: 1/6
5: 1/6
6: 1/6

We roll D₂, and get a number with the following probability distribution:
1: P₁
2: P₂
3: P₃
4: P₄
5: P₅
6: P₆

We find the probabilities of every combination of rolls that yields a 7:
1+6: 1/6 P₁
2+5: 1/6 P₂
3+4: 1/6 P₃
4+3: 1/6 P₄
5+2: 1/6 P₅
6+1: 1/6 P₆

Adding these together to get the total probability of rolling a 7, we get 1/6 (P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + P₄ + P₅ + P₆). Since the probabilities of rolling each number must sum to 1, we get a probability of 1/6 to roll a 7, and your gut is right. :)

7 is the only number where this property holds. Other numbers will have a probability dependent on the weighting of the die, which could be calculated with a similar method.
