If you’re in a currently cold place, then it’s a reasonably good way to heat a room and make the energy do something useful along the way, instead of just running a space heater.
Physics nerd. Currently studying some quantum gravity adjacent stuff in QFT

Ffs NZ. You were supposed to be my sane backup country for when Australia collapses
I picked the worst time to get into print media…
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.
They’d probably manage to stop mangling people for one
I fully expect most of them in my country are too…
If there was actually some technicality that meant they were trying them in the wrong type of court or whatever, wouldn’t they just end that trial and go and do it properly?
I swear I’ve heard this sort of nonsense strategy before…
This is 100% anecdotal of course, but I’ve noticed weirdly inconsistent behaviour. I have one tab I permanently keep open for YouTube and that one loads videos really fast. If I open a second tab by following a link from that main tab, then it partly loads the site and sits there for a weirdly long time before any content even appears.
I’ve got a really fast connection too, and nothing else was having issues. This whole thing is bizarre.
That’s literally the opposite of what it needs to be. I wanted to check out threads out of curiosity but I don’t want to have an Instagram account, so I won’t.
It’s hard to find first hand sources tbh, but here’s as close as you can get from the guy who invented it. They decided to keep it exclusive because of how difficult it is to work with, and because they just aren’t actually in the art business.
We can’t work with hundreds of artists. We don’t have that scale - it’s just not our business. Our business is to create engineering components for satellites.
Is Kapoor a dick? Idk, probably, that’s not my call to make. I just know that Stuart Semple is probably just as much of a dick.

No. I’m reasonably sure it’s a massive misconception. He’s the only person “using” it because it’s fragile, dangerous and requires some stupidly expensive and difficult process to apply it. It’s controlled by an aerospace manufacturing company who only lets him use it. It’s not something that can be bought. It’s not even paint, it’s a process to bind carbon nanotubes to surfaces. Kapoor has absolutely no say in who uses the stuff, and he sure as hell doesn’t own it.
Apparently the whole thing started because another artist (Stuart Semple, a known grifter) realised he could lie about Kapoor and sell his own paints if everyone thought he was the douche.
Long article if you care to read it, guy who actually made the stuff just doesn’t want to work with a bunch of different artists when he’s meant to be putting it in satellites: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/vantablack-anish-kapoor
For a lot of countries, immigrants are the only thing that will save them from demographic collapse
I’m so happy that someone else read it like that
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
It’s from Full Metal Alchemist. Idk how to mark things as a spoiler, so if you want to know exactly what this is, then just search for FMA Nina
Or a vacuum, which imo is better for dusting than any of those purpose made cloths
Again, it’s not dividing race at all.
There are two good reasons for putting it in the constitution. One, it stops it being repealed by the opposition who have a history of that sort of thing, thus it won’t be limited to the term of a specific government.
Secondly, Australia’s history is 100% built on disenfranchisement of our first people. Slavery, being defined as fauna, voting rights younger than a lifetime etc. Our national identity built this problem, our constitution should recognise who this country belongs to, it should recognise who this country has murdered, abducted and generally hated for it’s entire history. This definitely belongs in our constitution, colonialism stole Australia and it’s only fair to recognise that.
Solving systemic racial injustice is an inherently one sided thing, and that isn’t racist or divisive.
What is racist and divisive is allowing the traditional owners of the land to be trapped in perpetual poverty, with significantly shorter lives and with next to no hope of help. Setting up something to address an imbalance like this, to bring actual equality, is not racist.
There’s a fairly well known saying “when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” Things aren’t getting worse for you, we’re just trying to pull other people out of a hole so they can stand beside you.
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:
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.
