Honestly, that sounds like a lot of fun.

I feel like heavy industrial would be better because of the noise pollution.

I had no idea what you were talking about until I got to pill bug.

Of course the US is ready. Hillary won the popular vote. Don’t use idosynchroncies of our electoral collage be what determines what US is ready for.

I think this is the only thing Nostr fixes. It has a lot of other issues, I feel which makes it difficult to scale. Like you can’t block anyone, just mute. It’s only the text that is distributed, media is still centralized, etc… You cant stop someone from following you. Metadata about you gets leaked to the network like who you are muting. It doesn’t work well if you use two different clients, like desktop and android.

To steel-man the argument some more, if you have variable-rate electricity, it could turn on when electricity is cheap.

I’m wondering the same thing.

Well, last post from there. Not gone for good.

liberals, am I right? ☕

Zohran’s not a liberal, tho, right? He’s a socialist democrat.

I don’t think the light “knew” from the beginning. The light started in a state of superposition, right? Both unholy and holy. Once it hits the vampire, only the unholy light is reflected, acting like a sort of filter similar to a polarizing lens.

Well, if we treat incoming light as a quantum superposition:

|light⟩ = α|holy⟩ + β|unholy⟩

…and assume that vampires reflect only unholy light and absorb holy light, then anything directly part of the vampire’s “system” filters light this way.

So I guess the question becomes, “How does the filtering happen?” Is it by physical surface, or is there some kind of quantum holiness field that absorbs holy light nearby?

You have added The Unholy Spectroscope to your inventory.

The concept of unholy light seems to imply vampires can be detected through unholy spectroscopy.

Would this work? I think the light stops at the mirror because it’s silver.

Normally

1. Light hits the vampire.
2. It bounces off their body.
3. It hits the mirror
4. It reflects from the mirror into your eyes.

Silver mirror

1. Light hits the vampire.
2. It bounces off their body (now unholy light)
3. It hits the mirror and gets absorbed
4. Light doesn’t make it to your eyes

So, technically, there really should be a vampire-shaped hole in the mirror where the vampire was.

A little part of me makes me happy that Truth Social isn’t even recognizable by name. It’s “US President Donald Trump’s social media platform”

There is a legal basis. US can ban Russian Times paper, too.

Wow, TIL

Your “th” seems to be autocorrecting to some symbol.

Another loose rule I have is to fill the trash can each week. If it’s not completely full I try to find things to put into it.
