This isn’t really a book about being 2d, rather creatures being flattened by a stars gravity thar they live in.

It’s called Dragon’s Egg And was a really tripped read.

The plot is essentially a group of scientists go study a neutron star with some advanced tech (related to what we have now) that helps them weather some gravity problems. They discover that the star is inhabited by creatures made from nuclei bound by the strong force. They try to communicate with these tiny sesame sized creatures, but 1 of their days = 0.2 seconds human time… so communication is tricky.

I would love to see him detain every scotus justice and stash em in a safe house for their protection/national security. Give them no freedom of movement or agency over their lives… see if they change their tune.

Can you buy different sound packs? I would want mine to make a “wub wub wub” sound…

If someone is wearing them you will never be truly certain if a bee is flying around them or not.

They don’t seem to give overall preference to a given supplier beyond their obvious coupons and paid rankings. Alibaba is better, but who needs 144 of any specific widget…?

If you compare to one of the most preferred e-commerce website, which I would consider Amazon, it’s still not that bad. I have found less lies on Ali express v Amazon. If it comes to any cheaper electronics the Ali description is the real deal as far as I have seen. Amazon I have been shipped differing products, the description or features have just been a lie, or it didn’t come with the things implied. For the most part Ali descriptions are exactly what you will expect when opening the product… in fact many times I discover extra features when receiving the product that seemingly just couldn’t explain in their marketing.

Ali>Aliexpress>Amazon… just depends on needs

Well I think there are probably a half dozen interpretations that people on Lemmy use. One I have heard repeated is that they view the Tiananmen Square event as something that China rightfully did… hence “Tankie”

I don’t, I firmly disbelieve. Trump will only care if you’re in a purple state that he tracks the metrics on. He is too dumb to see or care about other stats.

Aliexpress seems most straightforward, and not quite as gimmicky.

On a tangent… Why are we still wearing ties? Buttons exist and are already included 95% of the time.

I think Bibi is hedging his bets. If war with Lebanon ends up looking lengthy he can end the Palestine campaign. He just needs any war to stay and power and avoid his corruption cases, I don’t think he really cares what war it is.

Could we take em to small claims for like $500 a comment? That would be a devastating movement lol

Or if we are going to use other countries, Australia has a much worse Meth problem than the US. In fact it probably has the worst per capita addiction in the world.

It’s not complicated to me, just make more. We should have a government funded drug producer for all the generics that the big companies don’t think are profitable enough.

We shouldn’t punish a population because a minority abuse something, that really only affects themselves.

I mean there are clear savings advantages to switching to electronic tags. It takes like 30 to 100 man hours every week to swap out labels depending on store size. Thats like 20 to 50k a year you can save on labor by just having them automatically update each week.

Plus the tags/price strips right now aren’t free. Probably another 5k you save a year

Depends on the state

I am sure its vastly different than other dog’s barks, just like the body language is.

But why would they use the bark as communication, if they communicate fine with body language? It’s pretty obvious my dog is aloof to other dogs when we are at outings, she wants to join in but can’t figure out how to act more often than not.

Then there are the other dog’s who do seem to communicate, verbally and else wise.

I upvoted the lot of y’all, but I think they are just pointing out how silly the sub rules are considering it’s name.

Because that’s how a lone dog learns to communicate with you. That doesn’t mean that their bark doesn’t communicate things you cannot understand…

I would imagine this will eventually show the socialization of dogs. I can’t imagine my dog, who was rescued from Hurricane Harvey in some woods in Oklahoma has many distinctive features in her barks. She would have only briefly knew her mother, otherwise she has only grown up around humans and cats.

But you can write whatever crap you want, it can’t just be the basis of the entire contract.

Let’s say I write a contract for you to supply me bricks for 10 years at a firm fixed price cost of $1 a brick, with an order limit of 100 million bricks. I could then add in elsewhere “if more than 5% of the bricks are damaged, you must supply me with one living unicorn.”

That whole contract doesn’t become void because unicorns do not exist. In fact, if it went to court a lawyer might even argue with a straight face that the supplier must provide something of equal value to a unicorn.

You can write almost any bull crap you want, as long as it obviously doesn’t go up against some law and has the main contract elements.

An unenforceable aspect of a contract, won’t void the entire contract if it goes to court, unless it’s the main aspect of the contract.
