Edit to add disclaimer: this is shitpost level math here guys, I'm just spitballing.

It would definitely emit thermal radiation. if it was 99% efficient and the size of pluto's orbit, around a star like the sun, and the energy was used to create matter, I think it would radiate the remaining energy as 0.009 W/m2 with a peak emission wavelength of 150micrometers. The James Webb telescope has infrared capabilities that max out at 28.5 micrometers so def not detectable.

But probably a dyson sphere would be smaller than pluto's orbit, which would greatly increase the apparent power, and shorten the wavelength. idk it's all imaginary.

I won't subject you to my hand writing but I did (power of sun × 0.01)/(surface area of sphere with Pluto's orbital radius) to get radiation intensity (0.009 W/m2). Then rearranged Stefan-Boltzmann law to solve for temperature (19.8K). Then used Wien's Displacement Law to calculate the peak wavelength (1.5×10^-4^ m).

Maybe I'll run the numbers again with a martian orbit radius, and 50% efficiency.

Like I'm sure it's not but I don't know if it's a worse explanation than any of the other ideas being considered. But I don't know enough to even know how wrong I am.

Which part of the image advances genocide? What is it in the post that you think suits the purpose of far left wackos?

Is dark matter just Dyson sphered stars?

I agree vertical speed looks high, wake turbulence seems like a good hypothesis given that they were trying to make up ground on the backlog.

I successfully submitted for a short term disability claim for an anxiety condition that arose from my ADHD. A few weeks later I was told that there wouldn't be a role for me to return to once I was recovered. IE in an attempt to avoid a nasty law suit they aren't firing me until I'm off short term disability.

Talk about setting up adverse conditions for recovery!

I was pretty skeptical of them when I clicked "Technology Connections" video on them. It's the same thing as a convection oven, what's the big deal?

Well it's the same just like how a quadcopter drone is the same thing as a RC dual rotor helicopter

It's like yeah they're the same thing, but they have some important differences too.

My 6 y.o. son has been interested in learning to play hockey but I think lacrosse is a much better choice for Vancouverites like us. I didn't play much hockey growing up, and even less lacrosse, any other perspectives I should consider?

...

Civil war starts when your country invades ours

...

Ohhh, when the USA erupts in civil war AFTER they invade us. I initially thought that you were saying America invading us would be civil war

I appreciate your point. A few months ago I was in a discussion with someone on Lemmy about the strategy of maliciously complying with someone that has insincerely stated a preference for neo-pronouns. The example in the discussion was Elon Musk claiming "prosecute/Fauci" as pronouns, but insincere pronouns aren't necessarily so easily spotted. (My position was and is that it's okay to maliciously comply with someone's professed pronouns to demonstrate that person's insincerity)

If you're not tired of tutoring ignorant allies I'd really appreciate your opinion on that dilemma.

I have inattentive type adhd as well, and was also diagnosed as an adult. I think It's normal to feel frustrated/disheartened as you grapple with it. I also recently mentioned to someone that I think I may have an emotional range that's narrower than typical.

My wife, doctor, occupational therapist (I'm on short term disability because my I developed an anxiety problem that was causing me to spiral), and lawyer (I was told there isn't a job for me to come back to when I'm better) all delicately danced around the prospect of depression/suidality. I'm lucky that I have some great things in my life that make it easy to tackle those questions head on.

Talk to a specialist.

The only things i look for in a shoe are small pieces of gravel that sometimes get in there.

But seriously: comfort/ support, and a big 'Ole loop on the back to make them easy to pull on.
