lots of fun techniques, a common one for getting down low enough where other methods become practical is stirling cryocoolers, and those are even on ebay for a few thousand (cascade refrigeration systems, and joule thompson coolers, and a few others are also used), way down past that theres stuff like weird magnetic coolers, and dilution coolers All very interesting, reading about exotic cooling methods is quite fun.

the author of the article wrote an article a while ago about how they think steam is enshittifying and becoming bad because they got rid of mac support and some people didn’t like steam in the 2000s, so I think this person just takes controversial opinions randomly and writes about them.

I’m just saying that yes bedrock (and it’s server) may have better mod features, but the mods end up being sold on the minecraft marketplace or whatever anyway. Yes you can download and install mods for free, but I bet the majority of players just buy them.

which they sell to you through microtransactions

the sls has been in development for 13 years, and 24 billion dollars spent, and it has managed one uncrewed launch, and the cost per launch is expected to be 2 billion. i do not like elon musk, but spacex (and other launch startups) are clearly more innovative and get things done faster and cheaper.

Eh, I can see your point, and the commentor also mentioned jesus in another comment, which is weird and annoying, but I think in the original comment it was being used as a way to show that this idea has been around for a very long time, and give more credence to their point.

I would certainly never quote the bible, and it is kinda weird, but I don’t think its bad enough to be worth discarding their main message.

I’m not religious, but I think that was a justified bible quote, it describes the point made, and theres even an alternative example. I get that religion has done a bunch of bad things, but that was a harmless quote.

the number of gender affirming surgeries on minors actually occuring each year is very small. looks like about 800 between 2019 and 2021. if a percentage of those cases could have been potential suicide deaths, then its likely worth the small risk of them regretting it later, especially since studies of gender affirming surgery show very low regret rates.

ah didnt know that, yep thats awful

i mean its likely not reliable but i bet some animal deaths are inevitable when developing a new implant. 1500 sounds way too high though.

sure illegal content can be accessed over a vpn without port forwarding, but when someone is hosting a child porn site over a mullvad ip, that is clearly a larger problem

although people hosting illegal content using port forwarding is likely one of the reasons they removed it, so its a tricky problem

yeah, i got a mozilla dev account and uploaded an extension for a joke, and it was pretty easy and fast.

lol you can store petabytes in one rack, much less an entire data center.

personally I think that theres loads of people with the skillset to do it, but they all have nice jobs in cybersecurity instead of cracking video games.

it would be preferable to have someone other than her cracking denuvo lol

I feel like theres also some people who want guns so they could fight the government (like texas threatening to secede), which is equally hilarious.

i watch ltt for alex messing around, and every now and then a video of linus wasting money on cool testing equipment for some reason. I’ve always assumed GN is superior for actual testing.

yeah, for nuclear explosions I don’t think practical effects will ever look right. CGI can look incredibly realistic if they have the money for it.

I think the majority of ppl want that stuff better for everyone, toxic masculinity hurts women and men. there’s definitely some very vocal sexists on both sides though
