It’s a little early to post this. We’re not in glocktober.

Oh, and another fun detail about magnetic core memory is that if you read a value, I.e check to see if one of those magnetic rings is set to 0 or 1, that is a destructive operation

Yeah, this is the same thing with modern RAM. The Magnetic Core Memory is doing roughly the exact same thing modern DRAM is doing. In the MCM it's magnetic hysteresis that's holding a bit of magnetic charge, in DRAM it's a tiny capacitor holding a bit of an electric charge. Either way, the charge is placed into a thing called a sense amplifier. The amplifier is a flip-flop circuit. During the refresh cycle the state of the sense amplifier is written back to the cell whence it came.

Static RAM, SRAM, is the kind of RAM that a read is non-destructive. It's really expensive (Here's a 2MB SRAM as an example of cost) and doesn't do well at really fast clock speeds at the moment. However, SRAM is really simple to interface with (Block diagram on page 1 and you can see you just have Address pins (A0-20), IO pins (I/O0-7), and the control pins that you turn on or off to indicate what the heck you are doing with the chip (CS#, OE#, WE#). Which the OE means output enabled (read) and WE means write enabled (write). See super easy to interface with) and it's usually what's used when folks proto circuits that need RAM. It doesn't matter what your clock speed is nor how you probe the contents of the memory, all of it is non-destructive. But DRAM, is stupid cheap compared to SRAM and handles higher clocks a lot better.

Nah. I don't blame the cat, it's got a fucking point.

I've had to wear a mask for allergies since WAY BEFORE the whole mask thing became identity politics. There's plenty of flavors of grass, that no amount of Flonase or whatever that gets the straight up burning of the inside of my neck to stop. So. I've had to wear masks since as long as I can remember for pretty much every summer.

Then COVID happened and now what used to be something literally nobody cared about, suddenly everyone has fucking opinions about masks. So here's my thing. How about we all just go back to everyone leaving me and everyone else who have been wearing masks most their lives the fuck alone about their mask? Can we do that?

Y'all can fight about COVID or whatever fucking shit, I don't care. I didn't really want to have a dog in this race. But yes, some people still wear masks. And the reasons they wear masks can vary for all kinds of reasons. And believe it or not, before 2020, nobody gave two shits about people wearing masks. I know, I was there.

I worked at an Arby's in the late 1980s wearing a mask during the summer, nobody cared. I've worked in warehousing while doing college, nobody cared at the warehouse nor the college. I swear, and I have lived in middle of nowhere Tennessee most of my life and people I went to high school with (way back in dinosaur days) knew me and knew I wore a mask. And even still, today, they might run into me and be like "Oh I thought COVID was over... (snicker, snicker)" And yeah it gets fucking old having to remind them about my allergies and them going "OOOOOHH YEAH!" Like I know we're getting old, but we ain't that old.

So I get it, some of y'all just want a fight and apparently "masks" are one of the things on the field. Whatever. But, some of us out here wear masks because the grass is the devil. And gosh, it's weird thinking that wearing a mask between 1970 and 2020 was the glory days, but fuck, here we are.

All I'm asking is the whole:

wow, people still wear masks?

If you want to bitch, can you at least add "for COVID" at the end? And let us that have shitty immune systems the fuck alone? Can you at least not yank us allergy sufferers in this bullshit? I would greatly appreciate that.

I don't know why there was a mandate, I don't know why the mandates made people angry. No one consulted me about any of it and even if they did, I'm not smart enough to have opinions on it anyway. But I don't know why me putting a piece of cloth over my mouth so that evil grass seed doesn't get inside my throat has anything to do with that bullshit. Here's the US House and the US Senate I guess go get them or something. I don't know, but everyone wearing a mask isn't some evil liberal employed by Soros, or at least I'm not getting my fucking check.

TL;DR — Some of us wear masks for a lot of other reasons and no one used to give a shit about us wearing masks.

I wish I could be that happy.

OP: We have to eliminate them all.

Me: There’s one, get him!

🔫 OP: Did you just say “him”?

For those wondering, one degree celsius increase means every kilogram of air has at least increased by 1°C. The specific heat of air is about 1158 J/(kg*C). Now that might not seem like a lot of energy, in fact 4g (one teaspoon) of sugar has 68,000 J of chemical energy.

The thing is, you might have noticed, there's a lot of air around us. About 5.14 x 10^(18) kg of air. So when you take a pretty normal number and multiply it by an insanely huge number, you get an insanely huge number. That's about 5 exajoules of energy. That is the total energy consumption of the US in 2021 for four million years. Or in sugar terms, equal to the energy of sugar if you converted a little over half of the Earth's entire mass into sugar.

We hit that additional amount of energy in our atmosphere in 2017.

To put this into perspective, a humid 60°C are conditions where hyperthermia (getting too hot) can take effect within 10 minutes of exposure.

We're 8°C from that point. We are within arms reach of creating conditions so hostile to human life that survivability for most people will be unimaginably low.

Literally was that Kbin started with the letter K, and thus matched with my going DE, KDE. So really just a matter of taste I guess. I always recommend people to use what they like.

Literally nothing in the article positing that dark stars may indicate Supersymmetry, ugh! Dark stars are thought to be the annihilation of neutralinos. The gravity of these particles would be enough to draw hydrogen gas close together but the specific annihilation would generate heat preventing the hydrogen gas from coalescing to start nuclear fusion.

This is one of the purposed methods by which one would might observe a dark star. Some random cloud of hydrogen gas giving off way more heat in the form of gamma rays, neutrinos, and antimatter than a random cloud of hydrogen gas would be able to give off.

This is JADES-GS-z13-0, JADES-GS-z12-0, and JADES-GS-z11-0 which the light from has traveled 13.6 billion light-years, meaning that we're looking at a very early universe here. Which that makes sense, dark stars would have only been able to form in the earliest days of the universe. Back then, the density of neutralinos would have been high enough to encourage dark star production, the proper distance of JADES-GS-z13-0 et al is 33.6 billion light years, so yeah MUCH HIGHER concentration. However, with the continued expansion of the universe, the density would have dropped low enough to prevent high enough neutralino concentration to produce dark stars.

However, there is probably a non-supersymmetry way to explain dark stars that match up with the purposed candidates here. I just don't know it. The point being is that IF these are confirmed, there's a new strong argument for spuersymmetry, though I won't hold my breath. I know quite a few folk were disappointed with the lack of squarks in ATLAS at the LHC.

Hey OP. Check your DNS settings after your uninstall. I don’t know if this is still the case but there were reports this browser hijacks DNS by changing where requests are sent to.

As much as everyone is willing to find anything disparaging for Florida, there’s more here to take away. California is in the same situation and ultimately every State will come to face this.

The underlying issue is climate change. Insurance bets long and with the climate changing on an almost yearly basis now, there isn’t a long game to play. If the various leaders of this planet do not act on this challenge the long term cost is only going to go up.

Florida and California are just the heralds, this IS ABSOLUTELY coming to every doorstep on this planet.
