We don't have to make her fit into a contemporary gender model to respect her clearly stated wishes.

Elagabala made it very clear to her contemporaries how she wanted to be addressed, I don't understand why people insist on acting like they're being enlightened by disrespecting her wishes. It's privileging transphobes to let them tell us we can'r trust people like Elagabala to tell us who she was.

Oooof. Tough day for him.

If it hits everyday life, it will be buried deep under a straightforward application layer. Some hobbyists bought "electricity"; most people bought "toasters" and "electric lights". CCDs revolutionized photography but the vast majority of users had no idea they were using one.

Depending on the mechanism by why which the condensate slows down the photon (for example, if it doesn't mess with polarization), you might be able to use it to store one half of an entangled pair of photons while you use the other to do whatever.

Putting together these two lines of thinking, a BEC could potentially be used as part of an authentication process to set up a secure channel; generate a pair, send one half of it off to your counterparts, verify their response using the stored one you have.

I think today, the stored photon is kept in a fiber optic loop; the idea would be the same as what you can do in a lab, but maybe much much smaller and cheaper.

Trump literally can not be too racist for his followers. How has a headline editor for a daily newsletter not realized this?

Everbody is collapsing into their lower back and would be way imbalanced in real life. Running would be painful with that posture.

Yeah I just wanted to play the arena combat.

I wanted to buy a $40 deck builder game with cool IP, they wanted to sell me a $70 AAA production with a bunch of external stuff that I found pretty boring.

I ended up not buying.

I think in the second half you're asking whether butches are more likely to be toppy and femmes are more likely to be bottomy.

I think there's probably some positive correlation there but butchness and toppiness are distinct concepts.

Their money is now in azure. Os and app suites are a declining business, but they help with azure lock in.

I've known her for over 25 years. She got married to my college roommate. For the two of us, this joke is out of bounds.

Absolutely!

Forests have gigantic underground fungal networks that connect trees to one another, allowing them to exchange chemical signals.
