I always thought it was more like, since light can act as a wave, it is like the wave is becoming stretched out as the space expands which creates that redshift. The light isn’t moving any faster or slower, but it has a redder (lower energy) frequency. Like a plucked string that is pulled more taut as the space in between expands. It essentially loses energy, and at some point that energy loss will be significant enough for light from other galaxies no longer being detectable for us. As well as any new light emitted from them simply not being able to overcome the distance+expansion speed.

There is just more space being added in between us and them, as if we were on a plane of stretchy fabric or on the surface of a balloon being blown up. From their (the other galaxy’s) perspective, we are doing the same exact thing, as well as every other thing that is observable to them.

I’d personally rather approval or star voting, since ranked choice can create voter apathy through too many candidates (look up the voter response to portland oregons’s last election for an example). Having to pick a unique rank for everyone is kind of arbitrary imo, but honestly anything is better than what we have

Wanted to thank you for this rec, it now sits right next to Klaus on my Christmas watchlist!

Since Fitgirl’s installer just unpacks stuff, I just use the same prefix for all installers. Protontricks/wine lets you specify a path in the Z:/ drive as well (the linux base system), so no need to move stuff.

I even made a dummy exe file that does nothing and added that as a non steam game that works as a catch-all prefix for whatever I need to run without adding it as a non steam game first.

It probably has the same deals as your website, but I use https://gg.deals/. It shows keyshops with the various risks that might be associated with them, too

I don’t live there, but I’ve often heard that the common rationale for not wearing a helmet is that bike-bike or bike-human accidents usually don’t result in head injuries. Usually, it is a bike-car accident that can result in head injuries, and if you get hit by a car at speed then you have other issues.

You are correct either way, but the problem wouldn’t be as bad if bike lanes are completely separated from cars. I do not have a source, but I’d assume that places like 's-Hertogenbosch, Houten and Utrecht have less head injuries due to the better (completely separated from cars) bike infrastructure compared to Amsterdam or Rotterdam.

Ah yes, the re-frigid-air-inator

Check out eartrumpet! On Windows store or just download from github, works better than Windows’ volume slider ever has

i just use unar (unarchive) nowadays, since that works with all file formats iirc

I’d respond “If it is required for the job, send me a business phone that has imessage”. I hope that you didn’t subsidize their business expense on your own dime

I just want to appreciate the eloquency of your statement. I have been saying essentially the same thing, but not quite put as well, so I am stealing this!

I’ve also been saying I wish it was a true judge and jury that would have locked him away and silenced his hatred instead of some vigilante, but that is when I am feeling like irritating specific people.

Appreciate the reminder to study Dutch today! Haha

I’ve been looking forward to every new episode of this one, it is just fun how so open everyone is, which is pretty refreshing for anime.

Why not both? Republicans lock the fuck in when it comes to voting in just enough locations to flip seats. They turn out to vote in the necessary areas, where democrats don’t.

I might not be able to change any republican’s mind by telling them they are stupid as hell for voting the way they do (or give them facts that they would just ignore), but I can show up and encourage all my friends and family to vote against a fascist in our red district.

There is a movie that kind of approaches this concept-- the Terminal. The main guy, while in the airport, sees his country erupt in a war on TV and his nation is dissolved. He can’t go back since all flights to and fro have been canceled. He hasn’t passed customs, so he isn’t legally in the country. So he kind of has to live off the facilities in the airport.

I’ll bring my activism organizing experience over there happily, just figuring out the best way to move over. New job + getting a place requires a residence permit, which requires having an address already

Already have a family sponsor so just need the two other things to fall in place.

I feel this trying to move to the Netherlands. My only solace is that the quality of life there is so measurably better there than it is where I am now. They would have to fall a lot further to get to the same dogwater conditions as the US, so there is some buffer time.

That is unfortunate. I haven’t used that in awhile, but when it worked it was relatively easy

Good to mention that this website was registered a month ago and has no actual information in the about page. Reminder to cross-check your sources, everyone.

Glad to see more alternatives around. I have been using pairdrop.net, but it fails pretty readily on large transfers since it needs a constant connection. I’ve also tried transfer.sh in the past (lets you set an expiry and password if using with commandline) but I don’t think that encrypts automatically and it stays on their server.
