These chairs they have inside it would make me not want to eat there.

It depends on conductive and convective transfer at that point. The atmosphere would be vastly different as that’s well below the point where CO2 would snow out but you should still have enough gasses to flash freeze you.

Nice.

They still are saddled with profit motives for some of their lines and the “if they build it they will come” strategy isn’t working out too great for them. Several lines are in dire staights due to overbuilding and lack of ridership. Better than others of course.

I’m sure the big ones just appreciate the added texture to chomp down on. Remember, octopus and squid are short lived murderous carnivores that need lots of food to grow big fast and die. If humbolt squid get the chance, they’d happily eat you. I love these ones that hold the meat together so I can just grab it with my beak and scrape it off with my radula.

I love it when a deep fried jpeg makes someone correct some misspelled keming that’s already correct.

Democratic centralism is generally anti-democratic. The most charitable view is it’s technocratic, but mostly it just involves power politics.

Aliens would need an oxidizer to metabolize as well, even if that oxidizer isn’t oxygen. If they want to actually efficiently get energy out of things, it’ll need to be a strong one. Even fermentation is a oxidation-reduction reaction that just doesn’t use oxygen.

Some of our best shitposting artists are over 60, don’t forget.

Until we figure out just what dark energy and dark matter is, we can’t throw out there being a fifth force that the LHC isn’t even designed to detect in the first place but if you think that humans are affected by things we only tend to notice on the astronomical scale, you’re putting the cart way before the horse. The whole reason we can’t detect them is because they don’t interact with us.

Glial cells, not neurons.

Human glia derived myelin sheaths are better, faster, and, in some mutants, can repair damaged sheaths better than rodent ones. Since myelin is what makes the action potential travel fast and efficiently along a neuron, this means smarter mice. Since there’s generally very little immune activity in the CNS, you have a much lower chance of rejection.

Unfortunately with climate change we actually got a real one instead of those old stories about asteroids coming due sold at your scholastic book fair back in the day.

I was fitting a whole upside down Pringle along my tongue when I was a kid.

Quantum tunneling effect is very much magic, on the same way that relativistic time is magic.

Actual desktops are going the way of the dodo for the mass market and Linux netbooks are quite popular. With Microsoft’s current strategy of making a product that is worse and worse for low powered devices, I honestly think it’ll happen sooner, except for businesses.

At least the Turks got one. The Koreans are preparing their S class rankers for when the gate opens or some shit.

Yeah, like you can activate small amounts of material with alpha particles from a particle accelerator like Cockcroft did or really bombarding them with relatively low energy concentrated alpha particles like Curie’s daughter did, but it’s not generally a major contributing factor to the radioactivity from just being around alpha emitters since you really have to do it very intentionally.

They’re contaminated, not neutron activated. The curies didn’t get to the point of developing an unshielded nuclear reactor that would sufficiently neutron activate their stuff. They just liked to carry around radium and polonium which also have decay products that themselves are radioactive and they contaminated everything.
