  • The amount of space between planets is crazy. My old school had a scale model of the solar system using the same scale for size and distance.

    On one end of campus there was a 12" yellow sun. Around campus were poles with little domes on top that had little pins with plant models suck in them.

  • I played Fallout 4 back when it came out. About 10 hours in I was doing some quest approaching a building with some guys I had to kill to get a thing. And I realized I wasn't having fun.

    I thought about what else I could do. Building settlement wasn't fun. The quests stories were dull. I didn't like any of the NPC characters. So I stopped playing figuring I would come back latter.

    It's been years and I still haven't bothered returning. A I've been playing Bethesda games starting with daggerfall.

  • So white light is when your brain sees a roughly matched signal level on all three color channels. So white would be all of whatever color receptors we evolved for the planet. It's more of a signal overload than a color.

    We actually can't tell the difference between the mix of primary colors and the actual color. Take Cyan at about 490nm. Looking at it triggers your red, blue, and green receptors in a spefic set of levels your brain reads as Cyan.

    However your brain can't tell the difference between a signal at 490nm and the right combination of 440, 540, and 580 nm. So for example a tv can only show 3 colors but your eyes and brain can't tell the difference between that and all the natural colors.

    We are the most sensitive to green because it's the wavelength least used by photosynthesis and most plants reflect it. So we evolved to be extra sensitive to it. Camera sensors are usually 50% green, 25% red, 25% blue.

    A small number of women have a mutation allowing them to see yellow. So some women can tell the side difference between true yellow and a primary color mix.

  • Both are used. If you see caliber after the number it's in 100 of an inch. If you see mm it's metric. (Though caliber refers to barrel diameter and can be expressed in imperial or metric). So a 45 caliber is 0.45 inches or about 11.5mm.

    NATO has standardised on a few round types so they can share supplies between countries. The NATO 7.62×51mm round is very similar to the .308 and they can usually be interchanged.

  • A lot of his humor was based on things you want to do but don't. So exploring dark desires that you should not act on is reasonable for comedy. Then it comes out that he did some of that stuff and it's not funny anymore.

  • Also he did it both ways. On population selected for nice behavior became dog like. One population selected for aggression. The second population goes insane when someone enters the room trying to attack through the cage door.

  • It's a big issue. The problem is there are a large amount of elderly people and not enough young people to care for them and keep the economy going.

    Population age graphs used to be a triangle. Lots of kids some adults and a few elderly. So there were a lot of people to care for a small number of the elderly and a big group to care for you when you became elderly.

    These countries age graphs look like upside down pears. Lots of elderly some working and few children. So more work by the young to care for the elderly.
