What sort of damage would the top pic have done? Would it be an instant death?
>>16284480>No way is a bullet the size of a BB gun passing through his ear coming from an ARuh...>put BB in wax or resin>coat with lead/copper/steel/whatever powder if u wanna fool shooter
>>16284480you are a mongo retard and you should go back to /pol/, you have no business being here. airsoft bb's are 6.3mm, the most common calibers for AR15 are .223 rem and 5.56x45 nato, both have the ~same diameter as a .22, roughly 5.5mm.
>>16284480If the round hit the ear dead center, yes. If the edge of the round brushed against the ear, far less destructive energy would be transferred to the ear. The range of collision is every value between 0% and 100%, not just 0% and 100%.
What are the moral consequences of creating a sentient superintelligence from scratch to be a slave?
>>16284756I'm far more intelligent than your best, it was like a lotto streak.

>>16284761good luck with the rest of your life, fool.you're about to get some first hand knowledge of what being gangstalked feels like.
>>16283950It's not a slave in the human sense, i.e. they won't have the capacity for suffering, the root reason why slavery is considered bad. Additionally we are still at the stage where slavery will be incredibly beneficial, development further down the line will likely eliminate the need for it, or we will produce some thing which is a slave to the humanoid robots, like some nanobot things or something, or we discover some new way to organise quantum effects for organisation

We live in a time of rapid travel and near-instant communication that has led to the rise of global self-propagating systems that compete with each other ruthlessly in the short-term with little regard for long-term consequences. As their influence grows, the consequences of their actions will cause increasingly disruptive ripples through the highly complex AND highly coupled system. This can eventually lead to a severe event or series of events that can cause the extinction of humanity and many forms of complex life. See Chapter 2 of Anti-tech Revolution: Why and How (wildernessfront.com/books) for a broader discussion.Some of you may think that the way out is "through" and standing by while it completes its self-inflicted destruction is an example of "not interrupting your enemy while they make a mistake", but the more we let the techno-industrial system integrate itself into our lives, the greater the consequences of its uprooting will be. We have no idea what the necessary measures of continuing this clown world might be. Our dependence on it right now for our food, water, safety, and shelter might grow to include things you might think ridiculous, maybe even air. We can't predict what the death throes will mean for us. It needs to end sooner rather than later.

>>16281546Take this shit to /x/, but I hope the last part of this schizo ramble about an economic collapse gets me hard.
>>16281634>Now what? It's still useless because most predictions this man has made have been wrong, and the same for everyone else claiming to remote view. You have no way of knowing which predictions will come true. It's no more useful than normal chance.Why is that your conclusion?If there is an odd phenomena of the mind, shouldn't we as humans try to uncover the the limits of what is perceivable to a mind that is uninhibited by conventional understanding?Why should science only concern itself with stuff that is of material or economic benefit?Isn't the phenomena itself of more importance than whether or not someone can figure out a way to get rich using it?Why is every pursuit of the mind and consciousness, uninhibited by conventional dogma, heavily discouraged?So what if science can't explain it, or the fact that we don't know the exact way a mental phenomena corresponds with or departs from physical reality. Why is it expected that only something that can correspond exactly with the physical universe as it appears to our eyes considered to be useful?Isn't it actually more interesting if the mind can generate visions with full clarity of things that are not physically present in this universe? That seem absolutely astounding, yet its regarded as useless, if it doesn't predict the lottery.What an odd reason to remain ignorant of something capable of occurring within 8 billion humans.
>>16284601>If there is an odd phenomena of the mind, shouldn't we as humans try to uncover the the limits of what is perceivable to a mind that is uninhibited by conventional understanding?No, because the foremost ones to exploit it will be crooks and the military (but I repeat myself)
How does forcing everyone to be vegan prevent global warming? Raising crops with tractors has a much higher CO2 emission rate than raising livestock does.

>>16282424The only real advantage of a fusion reactor over fission is the comparatively low radioactivity, practically advanced fission reactors would be just as good in the eyes of the people who build power plants. There might be a use for fission-fusion hybrids if there is a need for super high neutron economies and it somehow works better than accelerator driven schemes but then again they can build breeders without that as well.
>>16282292Isn't ITER just a glorified physics experiment? They could probably utilize tritium much better in a practical power plant. And as for "The necessary technologies are decades away", a practical fusion power plant is decades away too so there is plenty of time to get COLEX unbanned and design a decent blanket.
>>16284314It's not achievable right now, yes. Of those three, I think muon-catalysed fusion is the only one that's really complete fantasy as of now. The others, you can see some kind of problem-solving pathway that could maybe get you there, even if the challenges are very difficult. It's not clear at all how to do anything with muons.
>>16284574MCF sounds like it could be practical as a neutron source since the reaction area can be pretty small and stuffed into something like a fission reactor, it doesn't need to reach breakeven if its just a neutron generator
>>16284565This is true only on the timescale of hundreds to thousands of years. Neutron irradiation of reactor materials would actually produce significantly more waste per energy produced than a fission reactor, even if you don’t include any of the tritium contamination. This is true even if you make as many components as possible with alloys specifically designed for low activation.https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1741-4326/ac62f7/metahttps://scientific-publications.ukaea.uk/wp-content/uploads/GILBERT_2019_NUCL-_FUSION_59_076015.PDFhttps://library.psfc.mit.edu/catalog/reports/2020/20ja/20ja054/20ja054_full.pdf

If life was brought to Sol via asteroids, it's possible, but low.If life arose independently on Gaea, then next to zero.The first scenario has a next to zero chance if being true.The question we should focus on rather than "is there other life out there?", is "how can we survive out there?".
I get a 10% discount at workI also have a way to buy gift cards at 6% offSo say an item is $100, I can get it for $90, but then I can buy $90 gift cards for just $84.60, so the $100 item only costs me $84.60.How can I easily calculate the cost of an item without having to do two steps?I thought it would be (cost of item) * 0.84 (16% off) but obviously that isn't correct.
