I hadn’t heard of Ralph Bakshi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Bakshi

He was an animated film maker and poet that operated on the fringe of what was acceptable.

He directed the 1978 Lord of the Rings animated film.

As a Canadian, could it be rebranded to Western Democratic Union (or something), so we can join? Also it might help UK undo its mistake if it didn’t have to admit its mistake.

Anchoring is legitimately a negotiation technique where you start with an absurd demand to set the framing of the haggling.

Ie now the idea of expanded sea port security integration doesn’t seem like a crazy thing to exchange for elimination of tariffs.

But guess what, expanded sea port security integration would drastically reduce our ability to economically pivot in the face of future tariff threats. Ie if expanded sea port security integration means the USA can prevent us from using our sea ports.

I think you still haven’t provided enough context:

They played each other earlier in the tournament in Canada and the Canadian fans booed the US national anthem

…due to America’s leader denying Canada’s sovereignty, and launching a tariff regime intended to cripple Canada’s economy.

In this game the Americans booed Canada’s national anthem, while in a sense retaliatory is also a doubling down and refusal to acknowledge the legitimacy of Canada’s grievance.

Okay I did the same calculation but with Martian orbit as dyson sphere size, and 50% efficiency I got a wavelength of 3.4um so nicely in the infrared range of JWST.

I think the sphere would need to be like 99.95% efficient to be undetectable by JWST at Martian orbit radius.

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.

I mean the steel and aluminum will probably be sold to China so I’m not sure how much better that is in terms of dictatorship, but they are more stable/reliable I suppose.

This is going to cause curtailments at plants, and real hardships for some whole communities.

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.

Reminds me of the middle third of a song by propagandhi from their 1993 album “how to clean everything”

An amalgamation of jewish scripture and christian thought. 
What will that get you? Not a fuck of a lot.
 Take a look at your promised land. 
Your deed is that gun in your hand. 
Mt. Zion’s a minefield, The West Bank, The Gaza strip… 
Soon to be parking lots...
for American tourists and fascist cops. 
Fuck zionism. 
Fuck militarism. 
Fuck americanism. 
Fuck nationalism. 
Fuck religion.

The last third of the song is them just singing fuck religion over and over again. The first third is about rastafarianism.
