No, light is EM radiation. Not all EM is light.

Reddit attracts a lot of trolls. Managing the reddit takes work (moderation, keeping up with stupid reddit drama).

With a project discord, you're filtering out people immediately -- typically only people who want to be there wind up there. It makes things easier for a lot of people this way.

You're gonna break that necklace if you clutch your pearls any harder.

Fastmail is a paid solution, and you are comparing it to the ad-laden version of gmail. They are absolutely going to be different experiences.

You do in fact appear to be heavily biased based on your previous involvement with google, it shows.

Do you talk with them, or talk at them? Are you the only one giving feedback? What feedback do you get from the employee you've been failing to connect with?

> Not sure what to make of this.

One possible conclusion here is that you are not as discriminating of a music listener as you assumed or thought you were.

The machinery is all commoditized and the same. Plumbing as a trade has been around for thousands of years. The level of sophistication here is limited.

You're exaggerating about light-bulbs. There is no way LEDs last less than incandescents. If you are experiencing this, its possible your wiring is bad. You should call an electrician and have them check that out.

Tachyons aren't a thing. Tachyons are sci-fi nonsense.

Nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light. This does not hold for the universe itself. It can and does expand faster than the speed of light, using specific reference frames (i.e., big enough).

So, space can increase FTL. Particles do not travel faster than light tho, that is nonsense.

That's a mouthful.

The title should be "Hubble Tension almost certainly not caused by measurement error."

Google didn't slip. Google's stock price fluctuated. Which is a normal occurrence. There's a difference between the two, and the headline is really close to click-bait.

This article mentions nothing about twins being affected asymmetrically by schizophrenia. Any model of the disease needs to account for that.

Also, this gem: "You also can’t point to any individual lung cancer patient and say “smoking caused this person’s lung cancer”."

Article loses all credibility at that point. Lol.

Oh wow, I can block already watched videos on youtube, at long long last.

Thank you so much!
