Oops, thanks for pointing that out again. It's like 31°C here, and heat reduces my IQ. I read that bit, and then I immediately forgot it.

I did, and then that bit slid right out of my coconut. Would you believe I had a long day? Thanks for pointing it out.

Because the current use of the word reinforces stigma around pedophilia and makes it less likely for people with pedophilic disorder to reach out for help for the fear they would be outed and treated the same as actual child abusers.

OP is saying that by referring to child molesters as pedophiles, instead of child molesters, we risk scaring non-abusing pedophiles from seeking treatment. There are treatment programs for pedophilia, but social stigma can cause them to not be popular with the masses and lose funding.

Edit: I brain farted a bit and had a fib in there. Removed it.

There's a Cypher System RPG called Old Gods of Appalachia that's pretty neat too.

I am just now realizing: Baroque In Mind... Broken mind? Maybe they're a troll.

Yeah, totes. Scentless non-toxic gases can still be deadly by merit of not being oxygen.

The only recreational octave-shifting gas I indulge in is Sulfur Hexafluoride. Bolsters the ol' baritone.

I'm prepared to be proven wrong on this, as my exposure to quantum computer cooling systems has been super brief, but as far as I know there are no toxic coolants.

The pre cooler is a Pulse Tube Refrigerator, and the main cooler is a Dilution Refrigerator. Those both use helium, and that stuff floats out into space. I doubt it's going into the ocean. Here's another article that talks about the operation.

Like I said though, my exposure was brief. Unfortunately we didn't land any projects with the supercomputer people 😞. I'm always down to learn more about niche topics though. Makes me super fun at parties. If you have good sources shoot them my way. I couldn't find anything in my 5 ish minutes of web searching.

This is the right answer. It's a big cryogenic refrigerator called a Dilution Refrigerator. It's fancy stuff. Needs Helium-4, which is more common, and Helium-3, which mostly comes from nuclear production.

I wanna say the compression, but I've never really looked too close at the words. It's either averting my eyes entirely, or an intense hate glare at the dude.

I'm so glad someone else is complaining about this. I have to see this pale thumb sucker like 3 times every weekday. Who thought that was a good ad? How is his skin the same color as his hair? I don't want to see someone sucking on their fingers, and it won't entice me to buy canned fish.

I said a "100% anti-car extremist", as in someone who doesn't want any cars. I was raised in a very rural town. There aren't currently many viable non-car solutions to get to the "big city" where I currently live. How, without cars, would I currently be able to visit my family?

I am not disputing the negative impacts of cars. I am not your enemy, and you do not need to fight with me.

I have a Kia Soul for that reason. It's small, but can haul a decent amount of stuff. The back seats are spacious enough for my tall friends, and with the seats folded down I can even fit furniture like couches and dressers. It also has a low hood, so I probably won't be murdering any children. Gets pretty good mileage too.

I'm not a 100% anti-car extremist, but I definitely wish we had way better infrastructure for public transportation, bikes, and pedestrians in my city. I work just outside the city limits, and my 30-40 minute car commute would be like 1.5-2 hours on a bus. In my current reality I am chained to my car, so I went with one that I felt fit my needs without being horrific.
