I don’t get it

But it’s more interesting than work

Wait what if

Here me out

What if Florine IS fire. So OF COURSE you mix it with anything and the result is fire

And how, exactly, do you guarantee exclusivity?

The risk just increases with multiple partners, regardless of “exclusivity.”

And no, the second does not get solved by time management and communication - you literally have less time to spend with each wife.

Out of one year, if you have 100 hours to spend, a truly equal amount of time is 50/50. The man gets 100 hours of intimacy, but each wife is starved of those 50 hours. If you increase the amount of time you can spend to 200 hours, then an equal split is now 100/100 and each wife is starved of 100 hours of intimacy. There is no way to prevent this with multiple partners.

Ignoring the sexist reasoning behind polygamy, there are practical ones too.

I have one dick.

Its risky to have sex with multiple partners. The more partners, the more that risk of STIs increases.

The amount of intimacy (not sex, intimacy) a spouse gets with a partner decreases the more spouses one has. At some point “starvation of intimacy” will occur, leading to a breakdown in the relationship.

Edit: I’m sorry y’all. This conversation is gross and full of bigoted male-centric talking points. Polyamory is one thing, but polygamy is fully about the man. If you refuse to see that part, you’re just an asshole trying to justify an ancient means of having power over women.

Hahahahahaha

We’re going for a Dune universe rather than a Skynet.

The revolution will not be televised.

Well. I can guarantee you those Chromebooks they make devs use are not doing the processing locally.

Well the obvious follow up is, clearly, cat girls.

An AI arms embargo sounds great.

How the fuck are you going to implement an arms embargo on software that is literally designed and developed and run on the cloud?

TBH they’ll all die of cancer before they ever finish that base.

Oh I got one of those too i need the thing that gets me out of the house. Like a thing that makes me leave the house to go do

The thing that gets people to get out of the house and do things with other people.

Not like a vehicle, or transportation but the other thing

But the Nazis didn’t actually have anywhere they thought they could go.

If these Nazis actually think they can get to Mars and start over, I’m all for it. They can take as many supplies as they want too, no questions asked. I wish Musk and the Nazis with him the best.

I don’t know what they expect when they get there, let alone how they expect to survive getting there, but that’s not my problem.

I really hope they take as many people as they can. Really.

And I hope they all take the most efficient path to Mars, rather than the fastest. And I hope they send them all in a very short time period, and Musk never bothers to read anything about the hazard of traveling in space outside of our magnetosphere.

Man, idk. If I buy a foreign car, say a Hyundai Ionique (the new sexy one) how do I know it’s manufactured to other international standards and not specifically American standards?

Gluons do not have a half life?

Remember that they DO make an exchange - Gluons have color charge - red, green and blue. QCD is the magical realm of color charge.

The hardest part for quantum anything is grasping the “probability aspect” means spontaneous things can happen. In the case of QCD, as you put energy into separating quarks it becomes infinitely more likely to pull particles out of the vacuum than to separate them.

QCD is involved in fusion in a similar way - two protons will oppose each other with infinitely more force the closer they get because their charges are repulsive. The faster two protons are flung at eachother, the probability of the quarks binding increases.

Except the energy required to increase the distance between the particles is enough that it ends up creating more particles and the distance never gets any more distancier?

Can you imagine being those antelope being hunted by early human ancestors -

“Ok, bob, we just bolted at 40mph for a minute or so, they’re not going to find us again.”

“Clarice, you said that the last 8 times and they still showed up! They’re unnatural! They just keep following and following us! Alex smashed his shin that last run, and I don’t know how many more times I can run myself! We’re doomed Clarice! Doomed!”

Strong force is the same.

I don’t know if it’s shorter than the weak force, but you gotta be in an atom’s nucleus to experience it

Edit: i just realized I may have confused people - strong force has a limited distance, not that it’s because they decay.

Edit 2: If i ever got a PhD or master’s even in Physics, id probably write a book on how “The Universe Demands Laziness.” Because pretty much everything in physics ends up with a system taking shortcuts to save a little bit of energy.
