If we are starting the the chemicals being cases, through external means or the TNO not starting as a TNO, would it be able to sustain enough heat to keep it that way?

So what if there is a temporary heat source (nuke or something) or it originated from closer to the sun?

Shouldn’t the greenhouse effect be trapping whatever does make it though? I thought greenhouse effects could lead to a positive feedback loop scenario

Not Pluto specifically, in fact “TNO like Pluto” was kind of a misspeak because mass and density are flexible. I basically just want a slightly-more-habitable place than the average terrestrial world and work backwards from there. Things like moons of gas giants are explored, but I was thinking how to make things even more remote.

2001: A Space Odyssey touched me in that special place between science, religion, and spirituality.

It was always hungry, and now it was starving. When the first faint glow of dawn crept into the cave, Moon-Watcher saw that his father had died in the night. He did not know that the Old One was his father, for such a relationship was utterly beyond his understanding, but as he looked at the emaciated body he felt dim disquiet that was the ancestor of sadness

In their explorations, they encountered life in many forms, and watched the workings of evolution on a thousand worlds. They saw how often the first faint sparks of intelligence flickered and died in the cosmic night. And because, in all the galaxy, they had found nothing more precious than Mind, they encouraged its dawning everywhere. They became farmers in the fields of stars; they sowed, and sometimes they reaped. And sometimes, dispassionately, they had to weed.

Nah fuck the shareholders, if they do something we depend on and pay for it with tax dollars then we should own them.

The only metric time unit is seconds so km/h isn’t metric (or even powers of 10)

Powers of ten my ass

Smh most of these replies are just memes

That’s why consent of the governed is important regardless of economic ideology

Stop telling young men and boys they are toxic in front of their peers.

oh so you’re just done reading I guess then, because I already refuted that

please define toxic femininity

Traits of femininity that are toxic. Is that the best gotcha you have?

I think my main complaint is that teaching young people graduate level race and gender theories without all the prerequisite understandings needed to take those courses

I think you just have a fundamental misunderstanding of what is being taught to children. We can teach the broad strokes morals and ethics without the collegiate theory. Kids can learn about Martin Luther King Jr and why racism is bad, we’ve been doing it for decades. Adding toxic masculinity would be more of the same “don’t be an asshole” but with gender instead of race.

we’re just telling them that men are toxic rapists

We are telling young boys and men (who don’t even know what masculinity even is yet) that men are toxic.

We are not, though? The idea of toxic masculinity does not tell anyone that men are toxic, or even that masculinity in general is toxic, it’s about specific behaviors.

but teaching kids about academic ideas like the patriarchy and toxic masculinity just makes them feel like they were born with sin or something for being a sexual human being.

I think this is cope tbh, people say the same thing about how teaching real history is just teaching “white guilt,” but this is just low effort denialism to try and say the problem wouldn’t exist if you just stop talking about it. I was a white person in school, and I never felt guilty for being a white person when I learned what America did, I felt like America did bad things.

Similarly, teaching boys that “hey, you know that behavior you might see in old movies that looks kinda cool? it turns you into an asshole if you act like that in real life” is not teaching them male guilt or self hatred.

Came here to post this, or at least recommend it based on vibes. tl;dr very fun physics based combat/acrobatics game

Democrat partisans are not comparable to the MAGA movement

blueMAGA doesn’t exist

Thatcher Thatcher milk snatcher

You mean something like this? They exist, they’ve been around, for awhile actually.

The problem with them is that it is simply not easier. If you know what you want to do, it is faster to press two keys and start searching history, or just start typing and use autocomplete, than it is to move your mouse to click a square. And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll have to do research regardless, and maybe I’m biased but I still think it is easier to copy and paste a command than it is to read the directions to get to the submenu I want, and then replicate each step in my own GUI.

Also, I don’t know, when you last used a settings app or something similar but once you‘re more than two sub pages in, you’re usually in the realm of stuff even people who use a CLI a lot would have to look up the commands

That’s just not true, at least for Windows. Many common things are hidden in window menus that can only be accessed from specific pages from the control panel, because MS never really committed to the whole Metro thing so you gotta dig around for the real stuff that hasn’t been added to the regular control panel.

Because a good UI Design makes stuff you need regularly easy accessible.

Right, but how often are UIs designed goodly? GUIs are nice, don’t get me wrong, but the simplicity of a CLI is wrongly maligned because people think it’s scary, and are in fact very easy to use if you spend the minimum necessary effort to know what you’re doing. Literally just tell the computer what you want to do

Different is not hard. Popular Linux distros have been streamlined to the point of not needing a CLI for casual use for 10+ years now anyway.

But cli you have to memorize

It literally keeps a history of everything you’ve typed in, that you can search with context clues or just look through chronologically and get the exact command you needed from last time. Seems like you’re just making excuses. Needing to look in a dozen different pages isn’t any easier than looking to see what program you need to use.
