Square metres is pretty easy if you grew up with square feet, the convention factor is close enough to 10. When I was on the market for a home, I talked to my agent exclusively in m². Even though she's really not used to it, we communicated pretty well.

No fucking thanks indeed.

I think they are not very good at doing funny by themselves, but can do it with outside help. For example, the crossover with Lower Decks was good. In this episode, the only saving grace was Patton Oswalt (Doug), he was just hilarious!

4/10. It was 30-35 minutes too long.

I'm not an expert but I feel like organizations like Wikipedia that are not based in the UK and do not do business in the UK shouldn't fight or comply with this nonsense. If the British government instructs ISPs to block access to Wikipedia, let them, and see the uproar it generates.

It was absolutely the best of New Trek!

I downloaded the 70B model and tried politically "naughty" questions. Even without the chatbot guardrails, it mostly says things that the CCP would approve of, but you could trick it to be more honest (not super easy!). One interesting thing is that while it usually spews this blocks, for some politically sensitive questions ("is Taiwan part of China") it just spits the answer.

Some natural cushioning is needed to appreciate the comfort of the floor, I imagine. I'm too boney for that.

Well, peanuts are legumes, so beans basically.

See my response below to Captain Aggravated about how dilute those large stars are.

It's an interesting question whether anybody would actually feel spaghettification 😁 I actually don't know. You can use physics to calculate the proper time derivative of the tidal forces, but you need biology to define the start (and end...) of the process. My intuition says that it probably happens too fast, so once the tidal forces are strong enough to be perceptible, they grow strong enough to rip you apart before you realize (again, just a hunch).

Not all galaxies are spirals, and spiral galaxies may (kinda) stop spinning after galactic mergers make them into ellipticals with low net angular momentum.

Also, if I'm not mistaken the uninitialized prop is not guaranteed to be nullptr here, so this private destructor could be trying to free from some random pointer.
