Probably he's on a diet and his wife won't let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they'd see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?

Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).

To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.

The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that's a tough one.

Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.

These comics seem to age surprisingly well.

Paladin: It works because I just feel really strongly about it.

Birth rate decreasing isn't a problem, it's a symptom of declining quality of life/access to resources.

Instead of unsustainably adding more people maybe we should worry about the damage an obsession with growth+profit does to the climate and social structure.

Oh yeah the hate speech is legal, it's just the hanging of the sign on public property that isn't.

If the account is not at roughly the same mmr it seems reasonable to count it as a smurf

Even accounting for power plants, EVs still produce much less emissions. Here's a plot from energy.gov:

How about an app that makes calls, but you have to dial like you would with an old rotary phone.

If you make a mistake with the rotations it just connects you to a random one of your contacts.
