I think it is the fact the lcd phone screens have poor black levels and hence dark greys look the same as black. Hell even on my phone, it is not possible to notice. Only when I saw it on an OLED did I know that it wasn’t pure black

This just keeps on getting better and better. Thanks!
if you have to wipe with toilet paper anyway, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having a bidet?
No. The purpose of the bidet is to properly clean your posterior which cannot be achieved with toilet paper alone. Also the amount of toilet paper needed to dry is lower than the amount needed to ‘clean’
You keep going again and again about 'quantum science’s but what exactly do you think that means because particle physics is based on quantum field theory which is probably the most advanced and complete version of ‘quantum science’ known to us.
As for Sabine’s proposal that we should be concentrating on quantum gravity -
a) A lot of people are currently involved in quantum gravity research and
b) the only reason that quantum gravity research is ‘inexpensive’ is because it is mostly theoretical in nature and not because the experiments to research quantum gravity are ‘efficient’. Also we can create a thousand theories but it doesn’t matter after a certain point because without experiments to verify which theory is right, it is all educated guessing in a sense
Time can be devoted towards coming up with better hacks so as to reduce the amount of resources necessary to get the necessary results, which would be important in the long run. The science behind building an efficient collider may be useful in fields like nuclear fusion, where the energy of initiation is high and containing the reaction is equally important.
I am bewildered that you think scientists are not already doing everything they can to build/operate colliders(and any experimental setup for that matter) in an efficient way. They are already trying to get more data from the experiments while keeping all other parameters the same while also building better methods to parse and interpret the data so more conclusions can be drawn from the same amount of data. Experimentalists always know that their field is viewed unfavourable by certains sections of the public which results in them getting less resources as compared to shit like sports, entertainment, etc. which is why they are used to maximizing the equipment they are able to build.
Physicists might want to print their names on a research paper that comes across the next obscure short-lived particle in the universe, but the path that leads to the discovery is arduous. The architecture necessary to document the observations are expensive. The energy necessary to replicate the data multiple times in order to prove a point beyond reasonable doubt is equally high. These physicists, on the quest for image and recognition in the scientific community do themselves a favour, more than the Earth for whom these discoveries are supposed to benefit.
While I agree that a lot people are involved in science have personal motivations to claim that those motivations supercede their interest to progress knowledge seems very insulting especially as there is no data to backup your claims.
Fields like quantum behaviour, which involve studying entanglement and information exchange better explain the state of the universe we are currently living in(on Earth).
Again particle physics also comes under ‘quantum behaviour’ and gives us a lot of information about the current state of the universe
Individual experiments may not reveal a huge breakthrough such as the hype that would be created upon discovery of a new particle, but in the long run they would be helpful in building new technology that may end up reducing energy consumption
I don’t see how this field would directly contribute to reduction of energy consumption.
Finally while I respect discussions on investments in science and whether that money can be utilised in a better way or for a different purpose, I ultimately find these discussions facile because things like sports, cinema, other forms of entertainment use much more resources(both monetary and natural) while contributing little to society in the long term. Unless we divert resources from those fields to use for the betterment of the planet, arguing that we should do the same from scientific research of any kind is a meaningless gesture
Some of us are idiots. What we should be saying is that the West helps developing nations to achieve the benefits they had in past with modern green technology.
I would sure appreciate that explanation. Like I broadly get that ‘at’ implies you are present with the person’s knowledge while ‘in’ implies you are there without their knowledge but I would like an explanation of why the meanings are implied as such
It seems there is an amendment in the POSCO act for this situation but somehow it is not being enforced properly. Maybe the amendment is poorly wordly¿? I am not a lawyer though so I might be wrong
So let me get this straight. My county banned most of the popular porn sites because of the negative influence it can have on the populace but has such a poorly written and enforced law that people who possess and watch CSAM are deemed to be not breaking the law. What the actual fuck is going on here. This is a dangerous precedent being set here and I can only hope that supreme court overrules the case and holds the guy guilty.
In the article, it says they haven’t tracked him down yet.
Well are you one¿?
Yeah but it only works if the source is moving towards the observer
Instead, a few elite scientists (likely from a well connected family) will be conducting research
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how research at CERN works. Tens of thousands of physicists from all over the world work either on the information gathered by CERN or to design experiments to get further data from the colliders under CERN’s purview. Many of the people contributing to the research are students from different stages of academia. They are not rich or connected people but just smart people motivated to contribute and better our understanding of the universe
No there are times he has genuinely helped people for no other reason than it was the right thing to do. Wilson puts it best when he says house is an asshole but a noble one
House was clearly just messing with everybody. He repeatedly rebuffs her advances. The only part properly creepy is the scene in the parking lot when the girl is leaving and has her jeans so low that her underwear is exposed and house openly leers at that. The rest of it is him just being flattered.
A far more better example of pedo like behaviour is the episode where they treat the teenage supermodel
Thanks for indulging my curiosity.
So does arousal have no trigger in your case¿? Is morning wood an example of such arousal where it is not directed¿?
If you dont mind me asking what is the difference between sexual attraction and being horny?
Wait what!?
