never having directly experienced war

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

Please tell us more about how war is a good thing, oh master of armchair politics.

Wishing war on anyone is just fucking vile. Go on, look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you wish that thousands of people should die needlessly.

The US has never had a war on its own soil?

Speculating, of course, I would say there wouldn't be enough change to get a perceivable effect through other kinds of noise at the scale we are talking about. Yes, there would be an effect, but with all other environmental variables included, the results may appear completely random.

Then again, I suppose much of this boils down to the accuracy of the tools that you use to measure the results.

True random is almost impossible for computers to generate. The biggest issue is that the algorithms are known and they are generally seeded with numbers that aren't quite random.

Computers can generate numbers that are close to random, but will still have enough data to reverse engineer.

True random, or the closest we have, is atmospheric noise or tracking points from radioactive decay.

Banned from /r/Movies for calling out Tom Cruise as a scientologist piece of shit and encouraging people to boycott his movies. It was on a Mission Impossible circle-jerk post, so it likely did ruffle some feathers.

(I got a 3 day ban for something dumber, but I consider the /r/Movies ban more brag worthy.)

I am coffee mug owner and I drink my coffee exactly the way I want it so it's as enjoyable as I need it to be. (It's usually black.)

Not being silently judged about my coffee makes it just that much more enjoyable, so thank you.

They didn't change the reference, they defined an AU.

It's ok to shit in someone else's, just not yours.

I'll walk through it again, as you are probably right, and I can find the mistake.

1800g is the estimate weight of 450~~g~~ml silver powder.

The total weight is 1464g.

There is 250ml (g) of water at the top of the container, which we subtract from the total weight, leaving 1214g of a silver/water slurry.

1800g should be the weight

1214g is the weight.

(Here is the mistake) The weight difference is 516g, which is the weight of the missing silver in the slurry, not the weight of the water in the slurry.

So, I would need to convert 516g to an approximate volume of silver powder. Since we have volume, we can now compute the weight of the water in the slurry.

Damnit. I edited with that correction, but deleted the edit, cause who the fuck knows why. Was kind of in a rush at the time, and didn't think I would have been silly enough to miss the 250g.

Good cach and yeah, I felt it.
