Replicated cereal? We all know the Federation well enough, to know the product behind used in the replication is human waste.

Yeah, I recall way too much irrelevant information, but surprisingly, I’m excellent at Trivial Pursuit.

Apparently, he ceased communicating with his family before his divorce from Nicole Kidman.

There’s a Lemmy user on here who’s related to Tom Cruise, his mom is a cousin, if I recall correctly lol.

His pants are hiked higher than Fred Mertz’ in I Love Lucy.

That’s precisely what I was here to discuss lol. I think I might just be too old, but I still have a large hernia from lifting my 40” Sony Wega CRT television.

Shape his torso like a cyber truck and it would be more accurate.

Of course, what rich person hasn’t had the idea of stealing Genghis Khan’s behavior that left around 8% of modern day China his ancestor.

Roughly 40-45% of the people using ACA are Republican.

Thank jeebus the hinge issues are done!

They are cosmic time inferred from redshift, anchored by independently measured distances. Redshift does two things at once. It tells us how much the universe expanded since emission, scale factor then = 1 / (1+z) And it tells us when the light was emitted, because we know how old the universe was at each scale factor if we assume a specific expansion history. Sounds circular but it isn’t, because the expansion history is solved for by fitting many observations at once. So, the timestamps are emission time = age of universe at that redshift, and arrival time = now. These timestamps are inferred consistently across thousands of objects. Redshift itself does not tell us where along the path the stretching occurred. If most redshift had occurred early, the curve would bend the opposite way. So the curve only fits if expansion accelerated late, not early. The missing piece isn’t intuition, it’s realizing that distance measurements are the timestamps. (Wrote this in public with Siri, so feel free to ask or if there’s typos. People with inane conversations about salads lol)

It reminds me of 3D movies.

Think of redshift as:

“Total miles added to your car trip.”

But distance adds:

“How long you were on the road and how fast you drove at each stage.”

With only mileage, you can’t say whether you sped up or slowed down. With mileage and timestamps, the full story emerges.

We always were being kept alive to be bled dry. We’re unsurprisingly, in an even shittier version of the Matrix.

Sad that it’s gotten to this point.

I hope so. I’m getting too old for this, haha.

This is true? Apologies, but I’m sick with influenza and a chest infection at the moment, so my cognitive function is masked by medications lol.

Quick math in my head says Bob Cratchit’s 15 shillings a week in 1843 comes out to somewhere between about $940 per week in December 2025. Or, $48,000–$49,000 a year.
