It is baffling that people hadn't clued in about this sooner

I presume a person would curl up into a ball to preserve heat which would reduce the effective skin surface area. But that is still quite fast

A human body will also eventually freeze in space. The same physics apply. It's just not going to happen fast.

Yes it is. But it is the main way by which things cool down in space.

That's how satellite electronics are cooled down. They have large heat sinks that slowly radiate heat away.

You're talking about conduction. I'm talking about radiation.

You constantly radiate heat. The warmer you are, the faster you radiate it away. In space this is the primary way you lose heat.

In your living room you are constantly bombarded by radiated heat from all the objects that surround you, even if they're just at room temperature, which lessens the effect. In space, not so much.

Someone who knows better might chime in, but as far as I know the trope of rapidly freezing out in space is exaggerated. You would definitely freeze eventually, but perhaps not as dramatically fast as portrayed in The Guardians of The Galaxy for example.

Because as long as they haven't seen the files they can make themselves believe that maybe the whole Epstein affair is speculation and grossly exaggerated and that they can't possibly be that bad. When they finally see the truth they can no longer make those mental gymnastics. It also helps that they also likely realize that the truth will get out sooner or later and don't want to be among the ones who protected those monsters.

Calm down, it was primarily a joke comment.

People with good Photoshop skills are about to have a great way to get back to the people they don't like

I live in Canada. My rationalization is that as much as what's happening in the US is pissing me off, I have no business going into another country to try to fix it for the people who live there.

However, if the day ever arrives that they decide to follow through with their threat of annexing my country, it will become my problem. And you can trust me that I'll make sure to become their problem as well.

There's a reason why they prefer to attack unarmed people. That one time they encountered someone who turned out to be carrying a weapon they panicked and murdered him.

 
 

Macrodroid has been a favourite of mine for automating things on my phone. This is no longer the case.

It has been silently updated at some point to become a data mining and leaking nightmare. At the time of writing these lines, this app contains 30 trackers from various third party telemetry services according to the latest Exodus report. This is an extremely high number of trackers and there definitely weren't that many a few years back. Even most junk free mobile games can’t manage to contain this many. It appears that the owner of the app has sold out and turned it into spyware to sell your data to as many companies as possible.

This is particularly worrying considering the level of access and permissions the app requires to function. If you are using the app still, I’m urging you to reconsider.

Spread the word.

In many RPG games, when you level up, it feels good. You see your stats increase, your damage output and damage resistance go up, all the numbers get bigger. It gives you a sense of accomplishment. But then, you are made to face tougher enemies which completely cancel out the progress you've made. As a player you're locked into a gameplay loop that acts like a treadmill that keeps you struggling all the time while providing an illusion of progress.

Inflation and "pay raises" are doing exactly the same thing. When you get a pay raise, you feel like you've progressed because you make more money than you used to when you first started. But if you take inflation into account, you've never really progressed at all. For most, their struggle only got even harder even.

What if Trump was really into this kind of stuff and everything he has been doing is a secret genius plan to make sure people will pee on his grave for decades, if not centuries to come?

Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.
