Elon Musk is in so much trouble with the scientific community.

Hot take: abortion is a form of plastic surgery.
Change my mind.

Apparently you can really recharge alkaline batteries. Got 2 AA Varta batteries from about 0.9-0.95V to 1.4-1.5V by using a standard Ni-Mh trickle charger in about 3 hours.
Gonna test to see how well they keep their charge, but even if they're only half as good as new batteries, that's still impressive.

Out of all the things I like about Linux, my favorite is probably how fast it shuts down.

It's basically instant. Faster than my mobile phone.

Here's something I don't get. Since our planet's albedo, or how much of the Sun's light and heat it reflects back into space, is so important, and we're so concerned about melting ice because it reduces this albedo and heats up the planet more, why don't we paint building roofs white?

The solution described in this article is interesting too, but it involves tempering with the natural environment. Why not instead change the already existing artificial environment humans created, and increase the albedo of it?

I imagine making streets white might not be possible and it would be massively inconvenient to have a lot of sunlight reflect into our eyes while driving. But what if we made roofs white, so that buildings would reflect more of the sunlight, instead of absorbing it and heating up the environment? Of course, ideally we'd have solar panels on roofs, harvesting that solar energy.

Unpopular opinion:
The WAN Show is better as an audio podcast then a Youtube stream.

@matrix just noticed you implemented a block report bot. Now I'm wondering if I was really blocked by 6 people in the last 8 hours, or are these just old blocks that are showing up with delays because you just turned on the bot?

I think I realized why I hate battle royale games. The thing is, it's not the games themselves I have the biggest problem with. It's with the players who think they're some big shots over winning a few matches.

These games are designed to be noob and casual cancer. If you want to gain my respect, be the last one standing in Counter-Strike, Quake, Unreal Tournament. Actual competitive shooters. But the people becoming famous over Fortnite probably never touched CS 1.6 even.

Keep playing whatever you want, but stop pretending it's some big deal. You might as well be playing Solitaire competitively.

Haven't used this account for so long... don't even remember who I'm following here.

Haven't played Borderlands 3 (and probably never will), but from some lore videos that are starting to crop up everywhere it's starting to sound like they really messed up their own franchise story.

As a side note, it seems that at least they manage to put in a few good easter eggs.

I never thought of #Quinnspiracy or #GamerGate as a #MeToo thing. Interesting take.

Watching a stream centered on Greta Thurumcheeseburger, discussing climate change and all that... but the hypocrisy in defending her is painful to listen to.

When a child Christian evangelist comes along, they all gather around to point out that they're clearly being indoctrinated and pushed into it by their parents and so on. But when it's Greta: "she must be sincere because she's been doing activism for so long" and "I think not even her parents could persuade her to not do it". Are you listening to yourself talk? If she's 16 years now, how young was she when she started? And do you think it's normal for children that young to pick up activism? If you can recognize this is fucked up when it comes to religions, WHY CAN'T YOU SEE IT HERE?!

Thou shalt not touch the magic wands together!

I don't think I agree with the phrase "soft bigotry of low expectations" anymore.

When you keep telling people out there that X minority can't take care of themselves without help from your white savior complex, how is that "soft" bigotry?

How is that not more insidious and more damaging long term? How is that not psychological manipulation and abuse of these minorities? How long till you go into a full "I, Robot" tirade, and decide to put all minorities in boxes because the world is too dangerous for them?

You're trying to be another parent for minorities, but you are an abusive, overprotective parent, that will leave your "children" scarred and unable to function IRL.

The J-word has been born.

I miss the days when it was the Christian right that failed to understand homosexuality or just human sexuality in general.

Well, guess who's not gonna give Destiny 2 a try.

Although, to be fair, I wasn't exactly convinced to try and see if I'd actually like it anyway. I'm not much of a multiplayer gamer, and I kinda got the impression that Destiny is the WoW of shooters, in that, you can't realistically solo it.

Anyway, Bungie is making one hell of a mistake.

Moral of the story: "rebellion is only good when we do it."
