You can't cross an elephant and a mountain climber because a mountain climber is a scalar.

At this point if they said anything that was actually true it would come as a bit of a shock

When I was first going to college, the university posted our exam grades on a printed list without our names but with our Social Security numbers. I think by the time I graduated they had stopped that, for whatever that was worth by then.

Looked at from one perspective, it's really sweet that several people wanted to warn me that posting my physical address online is dangerous.

Just for perspective, if you Google my deadname and the state I live in (not exactly secrets) the first page of results gives you my address and 📞 numbers.

In one of the Tom Clancy books he wrote about the military gleefully causing plane crashes with "bad guys" (smugglers) on the plane.

As long as they aren't American citizens, everybody seems fine with it. Next step will be being fine with it being American citizens.

My mistake. Somebody got to it before you did. We are going to have to ask you to return the prize money.

My name and address is so widely spread on the Internet that I have zero ability to prevent a bad actor from getting it. But thanks.

Congratulations! I was wondering which one of you would be the first one to give me that unneeded warning.

Antifa isn’t an organization. It’s a movement of true American patriots standing up against fascism, which is characterized by authoritarianism, nationalism (including racial nationalism and religious nationalism), hierarchy, elitism, and militarism.

Classic style picture of wonder woman with the text saying "antifa means anti-fascist. Proudly fighting fascism since 1941"

Poster art that reads, “Antifa means antifascist” across the top. There is an image of Wonder Woman towering over. She’s holding her shield on her left and pointing her sword down toward the viewer. She’s wearing her armor and her golden lasso hangs coiled on her right hip. Her left leg is forward. The bottom of the poster reads, “Proudly fighting fascism since 1941”. There is also a “#IAmANTIFAscist”

Brb, stealing this.

That's certainly simplifies things, but it also seems like it's probably incorrect in specific cases. In the end I mostly just don't expect detailed in universe consistency. Truth over facts!

Oh hell, I had forgotten that average speed is not a constant even at a constant work factor.

1 day at warp 3 gets you 1/10th of a lightyear, but 3 days gets you 40 times as far.

Oof, had *not* remembered that. Limited to warp 2 would explain why TOS Khan needed suspension
