The only time people say “soda” where I am, is when referring to soda water, which is a specific drink. (And imo a terrible one)

Edit: It’s just an interesting difference in language, I’m not making an argument about what’s right…

I’M SHOOK

You’ve changed my whole world

I could say the same thing about people calling all soft drinks “soda”

Well, data just doesn’t really flow at the speed of light. It’s a really really complicated thing to discuss in terms of physical circuits because the true picture involves considering how the EM field evolves. Electrons in a circuit move at extremely slow speeds, ~millimeters per second.

The good news is you don’t need to send information particularly fast to send it through time. Generally in physics, we build time travel systems by creating extremely curved spacetime that contains paths to the past, theoretically you could send light through such a path to transmit information back in time. As someone already mentioned, you generally need negative mass to construct these.

If you have negative mass there are three options I’m aware of:

1. Wormholes, stabilised and moved in the right way can form a link to the past (but only as far back as the moment they were created, this is true of all time machines as far as I know)
2. Rotating torii of spacetime. Spinning spacetime is well known for creating weird time travel effects, a related option is an infinitely long rotating cylinder.
3. A rotating warp drive. This thing will explode in a high energy shower of particles and thus it’ll be nearly impossible to use, but a friend of mine recently found a way to get particles to travel back in time through it.

If you want to send information into the distant future, you could get really fancy and scatter some light off of a black hole or something.

Also every circle we draw has some thickness so we’re actually drawing annuli

So is a mug, you can drink from your doughnut using a doughnut.

I love trams, but in my city they’re often slower than busses. And we still have a ton of old rolling stock with no wheelchair access.

I always prefer trains, but I no longer live near trams or trains. Instead I’ve got four bus routes, two of which go on the freeway just after the stop near my place. I’ve made it to my destination in under 10 minutes on that bus, it would normally be 20-30 minutes on a good day though.

Cheers, I’ll give it a go, though I suspect I’ve already done it. I believe I’ve read the rant you’re talking about too

I get a similar feeling, but to me I think it’s because this is very similar to a right wing debate strategy, which is making the audience think you’re cooler than your opponent and not worrying about being right.

It’s a very similar vibe

I have a personal server, mostly acting as a NAS but with some web hosting as well. For whatever reason, it randomly freezes until you manually power cycle it, it happens really often, like every 20 minutes.

Turns out it’s due to some weird interaction between debian and older ryzen CPUs, if the CPU isn’t busy it just dies. Solution? A Minecraft server, with no one on it, it keeps the CPU just busy enough to keep it alive. I’ve had it running for months at a time with no issues.

Or a vacuum, which imo is better for dusting than any of those purpose made cloths

Oh cool

I’m pretty sure google drive just acts like a syncing tool in the same way as dropbox, so this would still act like a normal swap drive, presumably.

That said, I’ve only used swap partitions so I’m not sure how it works when you point it at a directory, but I guess it depends how this person set it up.

The best part is that phytoestrogen does next to nothing to humans, you need mammalian estrogen instead. You know where you find lots of that? Cows milk

It’s a catalogue of knots

It is in hot climates, my parents lived in the northern part of Australia and I don’t remember there being anything but tiles in that house.

I don’t suppose you know the exact application in QFT? I assume it’s used for some renormalization scheme?

I don’t have tinnitus, but I do this exact thing using the Sennheiser true wireless 3. You just have to set them to not pause music when the pass through is on, it works really well.

Different arrangements would do it, or you could think of it very loosely as the “if you made different decisions in each” kind of thing. Events/history is different, essentially.

On your idea of a “random function” yes, pretty much everything at a fundamental level appears to be probabilistic to some level. Quantum theory cannot in most cases predict the exact outcome of an experiment, just the probability of different outcomes.
