by a very specific definition of "inside"

i definitely accidentally a word

[–] sga 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

that must be some hell of a flex

[–] sga 2 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

so you got a really garage or tiny home?

[–] sga 2 points 4 days ago

had almost the same line of thought, that some leader's term got over

[–] sga 4 points 4 days ago

no, a friend acquired

i would try to convert it to html (maybe pandoc) and for the interactive part - maybe try to port it to something like js if you can, if not, or maybe python and then integrate with a online python interpreter (something like python anywhere). If it is something very complex, then i would try to maybe package it neatly(ish) and then ask the viewer of documents to run it on their system.

[–] sga 4 points 4 days ago

well you are techincally correct, the best kind of correct

[–] sga 3 points 4 days ago

much less than half

[–] sga 6 points 4 days ago

sorry, i messed up calculation

= (25*(10^9)*1000/(3 * 10^8))/(3600)
23.148148
= (4.25*365)*24/123.148
302.319161

the 123.148 should have been 23.148, i somehow got a extra 1 in there, so that reduced final value by nearly 5 times, hence i got ~300 days instead of ~1500 days

sorry, then number of days should be 1608.346293 (24/23.... * 365*4.25), and total time to reach there is 77200.622084 years (it should be less than this)

Well it depnds on what amount of cost you want to put in, and how are you making the roundabout, and are you going to put something on it, and essentially wht budgets you have. Where I live, we almost always have some statues or soemthing put on them.

They are made with essentially make shift compasses where I live. This is what is done for a roundabout of radius, lets say in ball park of 5-10 m. Initially marking is done (this is simply done by measuring out a tape of desired radius, and holding wwhen end at center, and other person revolvinng around it, and laying down something - could be simple as white chalk, or use jackhammer to make actual indents to ground, or lay down some bricks) This will serve as guide for curve, and any further curved elements could be made by just maintaining a constant distance from this circumference. Then the interior is usually dug to lay a foundation for whatever you put on it (could be as simple as excavating, and just plastering, but that is still expensive, often manually digging and then laying a firm dirt layer is enough). then it is covered with something (could be custom designed pizza slice shaped stone or marble wedges, but usually just bricks or cinderblocks). While making, we do not really make a great curved edge, and just make a n-gon, where n can be 20 or 50 or 100. This is simpler because straight edged bricks are cheaps, and you can lay them vertical, filling the gaps with plaster. The depending on your budget, you could get great finishing, again done with applying plaster, but this time, excess is applied, and some is removed, so we get a curved edge. Now you mostly have the exterior ready. On the top, you could have marble or stone, which can be grinded to match the curved edge, or it could be a thin plaster layer, which will take the shape of boundary.

i just did some napkin maths, and currently, it is approximately 1 light day away from us (23.148 hrs, no relativistic consideration). For perspective, our nearest star is 4.25 light years away, and that is roughly 302.319161 times further than voyager. with voyager speed, it will reach centauri (not actually heading towards it, but just for distance perspective) in about in roughly 14511.319728 years (actually less than this).

edit - messed up the calc a bit, 302... should have been 1608.346293 and 14511... shoul dhave been 77200.622084, explanation in replies - root of errors - typo

 

I don't even know if my choice fits my own question, but my vote is porygon 2 (extra tanky boi)

The best wavelength? and why? (self.stupid_questions)

preferably the electro magnetic kind.

My current vote is 193 nm, and maybe 404 nm

my personal vote is 32 (close enough to being sqrt of 1000, which helps me mentally convert number from basis 2 to basis 10, also perfect power of 2, a odd power of 2). second would be 42. (Yes, I prefer ranked choice voting)

 

This will only apply to food. You would still get burning from spices for both.

What is the best temperature? (self.stupid_questions)

No explaination, do as per your interpretition

 

(This has some grounds in reallity, so this very well is a post for brain storming). By not violating, i mean no creeping on others in their privatee places. Consider your selves owners of a factory which produces metallic objects which are transparent (properties similar to aluminium) what could be a product which could get you huge profits.

I would also like you to ignore the easiest option to make displays (for phones, laptops etc) which are much more tensile and durable.

 

Maybe all mirror finish with nanoscale tolerances, or all things like the soft blankets, or maybe everything like gecko fingures (my guess is this would be functionall same as the nano tolerance one, but it can be used in a better controllable manner)

 

preferably realistic answers. There are some obvious ones to change size of some of body parts, lets say making ankles more useful, or maybe something like 2 segmented arm (2 scratch your back better), or maybe a spine with fewer fatal spots than we have right now (too damn high)

And in what formats? is it all hell break, no rules fight or boxing, or triathlon?

If you have a better format for the comparison, do suggest, if not, please answer for above ones, pretty please

 

Ask anything you would consider too vague or too stupid. It is not supposed to be very refined or thought through, it can as well be a string of random symbols, just tell us how to read them. Consider it a very serious questions community, where questions most definitely are not serious, or the other way round. WE APPRECIATE ABSURDISM. WE APPRECIATE CREATIVITY. WE THRIVE ON ANSWERING GENUINE CURIOSITY!

These could be questions which you think a 5 year or 10 year old would ask, but you are not 5/10 year old and you don't have anybody to ask.

Rules:

  • Standard Netiquette reference - TL;DR - just be civil

  • Lemmy Instance Guidelines - TL;DR - just be civil

  • Post format is simple - it should be a question. You can add additional context to your delight, for example, what do you expect the answer to be, or how do you think one should try to answer it. Questions can be any any language (preferably english) but do what you like, just tag the post appropriately (you can select language while creating post). NSFW is fine as well, but please tag appropriately.

  • Stupid in a general sense - Ideally questions should not be stupid because they use fancy words. For example, if someone asks - why do we not use ferritic steels in cold temperatures? This question is stupid to all metaallurgy people because almost all of them know of ductile to brittle transition. But how many of us are metallurgists? (or have taken some crystal structure courses). They can be niche, we are not against questions that only some of us understand, but if you think the questions are too specific, give us additional context. WE ARE WELL SERVING SERVERS!

  • Academic Integrity - try to answer questions just the best way you can. if you think a alphabet is good, just do it, if you think.

  • New Rules maybe added in future - to which all of you also agree to while creating any post. YOU MUST OBEY A CONTRACT INDEFINITELY. BY POSTING/COMMENTING, YOU ARE CONSIDERED TO BE AGREEING THIS CONTRACT. IF YOU FAIL TO UPHOLD TO THE CONTRACT, YOU SHALL SACRIFICE YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD OR BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ENRAGING THE GODS WHO SHALL PUT A CURSE OPEN THOU (or the subsequent ones in case you already sacrificed one, we are accepting in that sense, we would not be cursing your lineage/subsequent lives and stuff. If you do not have kids, then have them. The kid should be born or Feb 29 of any year, and must be 32 years and 42 days old at the time of sacrifice. Please do remember to contact us for the birthday parties, we can bring the best food and entertainment (rated the 17th best party organiser, by my friends list of - best birthday organisers who were born on 29th feb). Also, most of the blessed servants of god (read moderators) are very kind, and can "pardon" your crimes, for appropriate gifts).

A brand new sentence is a sentence which we consider to have never been spoken or written, or thought of (at least the ones which are not recorded). And just swapping a noun with another noun (for example a name of a place or person) while may techinically be considered new sentence, it is not really matching the spirit of brand new sentence.

for the linguists, can you try to come up with a better estimate (better than just coming up (all the words)^(to the power average sentence length)). Maybe by using the description of using different forms of verbs (like we consider in NLP) (verbs which take DP, CP), then adding standard adjectives and finish with remaining grammar (sorry if I am getting it all wrong, it has been a while since I took my intro to linguistics class). Also, consider a morpheme less form. This exercise is for a more realistic guess.
