Guy in the center there forgot his gloves.

Lowercase m, n, u, v, and w are confusing as shit when placed next to or near each other.

Gork ,

Good god.

Gork OP ,

That makes sense, but how would we then be able to distinguish how much of the redshift is due to the metric expansion of space and how much is due to their velocity vector component in that direction?

Gork OP ,

Right, but the velocity component would still be present in some form due to the gravitational attraction between bodies. I don’t know how significant this would be compared to the redshift value from the initial kick from inflation, or if it is possible to separate the two components somehow.

Gork OP ,

Wow. So it’s like that adage. However big you think space is, it’s much bigger than that.

It’s hard to fathom scales at which being gravitationally bound is insignificant relative to those type of effects.

It will quickly become festered with ads about where to buy a Cybertruck.

Apply the video version to your Zoom background for the perfect Max Headroom look and feel.

Can we, you know, eat this guy right now?

Plasma 6 Beta 2 released! We are nearly there, but more testing needed.

Just in time for the Winter Holidays 🎄, Happy New Beta 🎉!

https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/beta2/

After this second Beta, there will be two Release Candidates, one on the 10th and the other on the 31st of January. All these releases are not final, they are for testing and should not be used in production...

Gork ,

Isn’t it disorienting to have the wallpaper change every 2 seconds?

Ah yes the great states of Arkansas and Arkan’tsas, of Kansas and Kan’tsas.

CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978 ( www.epi.org )

“average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989”

Year over year growth is completely unsustainable. They should be content with making healthy profits in good times, and making any profit at all during times of recession.

I dunno. I had to block that community entirely because of the sheer volume of unmitigated spam.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....

Gork ,

Ackshually, they’re two distinct sets of two screens. Unless you’re taking your two monitors to work and back home every day.

(sorry for the pedantry I’m ashamed)

Gork ,

Makita all the way. I was first introduced to it by a neighbor who had a Makita drill, and it was so much better than the generic one I had previously. Now I own a bunch of 18V Makita tools, from your standard power drill, an impact drill, air compressor, a lawnmower, weed trimmer, and hedge trimmer.

I’m locked into the brand now, but I have zero regrets as their tools are very high quality. Nope I wanna get some woodworking tools but don’t have the space for a proper workbench lol.
