I could see the logic in that(not sure if it's true lol). Like, extreme heat to have a cconstant and complex mix of chemical interactions occuring, but then once they've formed something, cooler temps help focus long term stability. No idea if that works or not or just sounds good tho.

Isn't there an episode where a gould is dialing in and blasting the iris? Like, he dials in faster than they can establish a wormhole connection themselves, and then sends shit through, blasting the iris and heating it up(because the iris is like one atoms space away from the event horizon). When he starts dialing in, they only have X seconds to try to dial out themselves.

Now here's where my memory is fuzzy: Samantha reprograms the gate dialing software to dial faster. Faster than a traditional dialer can. They talk about "we only have X time between gate closing and when he can dial back". I seem to remember them trying to dial out during that time, locking chevrons in, and then the sequence being overridden by the incoming gould connection. So wed see like 5 chevrons lock, then it would suddenly break and be that other incoming call. They had to dial out BEFORE that call incoming connected. So they were locking in chevrons on Earth side for a call out while a call was being placed to earth from elsewhere. So chevrons CANT lock simultaneously or you couldn't do that. It has to be one after the other.

It was white and gold when I opened the post. I use dark mode in Lemmy. Then I opened Wikipedia and read about it for a few minutes in light mode. When I came back, the dress was black and blue suddenly.

I can't usually switch it on command, but it does switch for me.

And as of posting this and looking at Lemmy in dark mode, it's white and gold again.....

....and now it's blue and brown.

You can literally say the exact same thing with Windows. That's how you Linux peeps feel, constantly yelling "why are you using windows! Stop having fun!"

Is windows perfect? Nah. But does it work most the time? Yeah. All the bitching about windows being shit and yet my 300+ installed games all work..... Crazy....

How about just let people use what they like and shut up with the damn "my OS is better than yours" nonsense?

It's posts like this, that even though I've used Linux in the past, make me immediately think "nah, fuck that, I'll stick to windows. I don't want to deal with those people."

You're more of a harm than help.

That's 80% of ALL RESTURANTS that fail.

Not 80% of resturants that already had one foot in the grave.

He was working with that 20% failure group and got THOSE not to fail.

You also have to remember that these restaurants were failing largely by their own owners hands. Not keeping kitchens clean, not having a clear vision of the restaurant(too big a menu without a consistent theme), infighting amongst staff/owners, etc.

You don't appear in the show if you're doing well. Even with the facelifts Ramsey provides, it's on the owners and staff to maintain the changes. If they fall back into old habits, then of course they will fail.

I think it's more impressive that 20% actually listened and succeeded during the pandemic.

Or Singapore and chewing gum.

Says the person with a Lemmy profile. Do you pay bills online? Do you search things? Use maps?

Congrats, you have a shadow profile out there logging all the data about you.

You didn't keep shit private if you're carrying a GPS tracker on you at all times, which you are(your phone). You are VASTLY misunderstanding digital privacy and how statistics works. You don't have to type a single foreign language word for them to know you speak it. Just go to places and hang around people that it knows speaks it and it'll make the assumption. Every person you interact with who shares EVERYTHING is, congrats, basically a snitch on you as well.

It's statistics, like I said.

You have your phone on you, right? And he has his phone on him, right? And your phone's are constantly near each other, riiiiiight? Do you maybe see where this is going?

Your "Internet profile" is being linked to his "internet profile" because they can see you are constantly together. So they assume friends/relatives/coworker. But they also see that you're together at times people who are couples are(late at night while asleep, for example). So with basic time and location data, they've determined you're a couple. And that becomes another metric in your profile. Things that he likes, it will assume you like or are at least interested in, and same for him. All you had to do was type in the other language a few times and your profile got "speaks X" added to it. And him, by dating you, now has "knows someone who speaks X regularly" attached to his profile.

It's really very easy. Now imagine that everything you do is being catalogued like that. Then cross referenced with other people they know more about to flesh out more inferences about yourself("you like x and y? 98% of people who like X AND Y also like Z, so let's advertise Z to them".

It seems like magic but it's just advanced statistics in action.

That's what happens when states get to regulate these kinds of things. Notice it's mostly progressive states that this applies to. States that put laws on their books against this. The reason it doesn't count in those other states is because, for all intents and purposes, it was legal there.

People complain about California a lot, but this is what all of our "stupid useless laws" are for.

Same. I had to watch it a few times to find it myself
