  1. Close nuclear detonations would still push the asteroid simply by differential heating and vaporizing the rock on the facing side. Not much of a push, but it is one. Nukes might be the only recourse for rubble asteroids too. You'd have to have the warhead on a robot that would push itself inside before detonating for it to do any good, but I can't think of a better option.

  2. That’s an interesting idea about the robot. I’m wondering what others think about using:

  3. At one point, they produced a lot of really great literature, music, art, ballet, etc. I love Russian literature so much. And of course, athletes. Communists were always great at producing athletes.

  4. For some reason I get the impression a fist fight between Amos and Bobbie would end up in the bedroom

  5. I would say both are bad but foe different reasons. I don't want the CCP to have my information. Sure. Not gonna deny that.

  6. The Chinese government has their own police stations in foreign cities around the world, so they absolutely can and do target people on foreign soil. This very thing was in our local Toronto news the past year.

  7. Do you want to remind everyone how many military bases the US has? And in how many countries? And what the official US position is if they ever get prosecutes at the international war crimes court?

  8. For the record, standing underneath the drive plume of a Donnager class ship is generally a bad idea.

  9. Nobody wants to pay the level of taxes to take care of old sick people

  10. The idea of lack of freedom comes from the content. To our brains, frequency is truth: the more often you experience something the more likely it is to be a real and reliable true thing. This is great for, say, gravity, but becomes problematic when you are frequently and repeatedly exposed to something through your phone: you repeat something enough and you begin to have this very strong gut-level feeling that it’s true. Our brains did not evolve the frequency-truth dynamic in the presence of social media.

  11. Logically, if they’re an for protesting a big nothing-burger, then everyone who engages against them becomes just as much an as they are, for taking the bait.

  12. It’s a well-developed literature actually

  13. Nah, I'll just go into politics and ban everything I don't understand and don't like.

  14. That's so dumb. He steps forward then steps back, then decides to step forward again and into oncoming traffic. How much you wanna bet he was drunk?

  15. Wtf? No way you get that mad about that. Sure, you might get upset and not like the person for a while after that but not become a murderer because of it. Some people really do just let the most minor inconvenience destroy their whole life

  16. In the shooters defense the spoiler apparently kept doing it even after being asked multiple times to stop

  17. I think I managed to find it. Paraphrasing from wiki’s “Crime in Antarctica”…

  18. I know at least one person that still thinks space is "fake". 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

  19. Tell them that space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement. And Alderaan's not far away…

  20. Are you this dramatic over the guys at YouTube who took down the documentary?

  21. I hadn’t heard about that, so I’m curious as to how that might compare. Are you saying that the people over at YouTube also bragged about free speech and no censorship prior to pulling the documentary?

  22. I made a very juvenile language model and it was capable of knowing when it was speaking out of known context, I had all that text be red. If I kept working on it there would be a slider of how much bullshit creativity to allow. And this was just a single person prototype I made in a week that could run off a cell phone. It probably depends what kind of architecture they are using. If it's really convoluted nueral nets they might not have the insight to make it be aware of that as it might just be a black box with censorship on either end. But depending on the type of model it might be possible to have the transparency and control

  23. That’s very impressive that you were able to make something like that by the way, and on a phone of all devices! Great stuff!

  24. Is "If it isn't yer ass it's yer elbow" distinctly rural Ontario?

  25. No, the insult is that someone “can’t tell their ass from their elbow” and it’s Canada-wide.

  26. this makes so much sense ..... a packed ttc subway car or bus full of teenagers immediately after school can easily turn violent

  27. It’s not just the GTA. I witnessed a woman at the Sudbury Costco drive into a string of shopping carts that an employee was bringing back to the store. She knocked the carts over and just kept driving.

  28. I have the exact opposite experience of the Costco near me - everyone in there is practically braindead zombies and just stand around, or wander aimlessly at a pace a 150 year old grandmother would pass them at.

  29. Incorrect. I eat kettle chips with ketchup all the time. It’s just a really crunchy French fry

  30. More info from our original

  31. Thats the plan for this machine. But overhead utilities are not to bad, especially on streets with streetcars. They offer a fast and cheap way to hand wires, provide power for cheap and quality transit.

  32. I'd say 1990 .... I was there on a school trip as a kid in spring 1989 to Toronto for the first time. We were all excited because the Skydome was near completion and they did the big opening later that summer.
