Hmm. I wonder if the internet's benefits to literacy are starting to dissipate too, as video-based services become really popular.

Cooling by radiation is slower than convection or conduction, but it still happens. The James Webb went from room temperature to deep cryogenic in a few months, and it's big. As for moisture, things cook off into a vacuum very easily. That's the foundational to the whole concept of freeze drying, actually.

Freeze dried wood is absolutely commercially available, if pricey. I have no idea if anyone has used it for musical purposes either. There's a lot of audiophile-ish magical thinking in that space so it's possible nobody has bothered.

Edit: Although, since this is a research project, maybe not freeze drying it first was the point.

This is bad. Reminder that there's just ~2000 of them known, though, so it only takes 8 seconds for everyone else to pass their annual emissions collectively.

It's not an excuse to not care about your own impact.

I'm guessing they freeze-dried it already, so not that much.

If they didn't, it will freeze-dry itself. I have no clue what that would do to the dimensions, since it's not going to be a controlled process like it would be on Earth,

Huh, you must have replied somewhat late to this - I'm sure I checked back here for any replies before I returned to my main instance for good.

Actually, yes. If you sent it to me, that would be sexual harassment (just like if you sent me an unsolicited text description of what you want to do to me), but I don't care what you do in private.

It's making an image of someone that portrays them in an unrealistic and offensive context.

Yeah, but only one of degree.

Iran isn't directly mentioned. Vague terms like "the North" appear, and historically many American evangelicals have identified the USSR with it, because that was the geopolitical bogeyman of the day. I've had older evangelicals insist to me that Russia borders Israel as a result.

Iran's more plausible than Russia, but if we pretend for a moment it's not all some desert guy's mushroom trip it could just as easily be Turkey.

Yes. People seem to think the bends always happens on exposure to weird pressures, but it just doesn't. I guess they're understandably imagining it's the same as hot or cold.

(though no idea about the effects on the human body from such a sudden change)

Well, enough delta p is entirely capable of squishing an entire person through a thumb-sized hole, and while there's no hole here I image there'd still be some sort of shock wave, and the air already in your lungs returning to normal volume suddenly would be uncomfortable. Don't go too deep the first time, definitely ease into it.

Interestingly just 1 atm is fairly harmless. The first time someone got caught in a vacuum chamber they weren't sure what they'd find, but the guy just got up and said his ears hurt.

Honestly the less rights parents have the better, IMO. They need certain rights just to operate but man, some of them are very shit people.

I mean, define terrorism. I'm not about to Ted Kaczynski anything, but political violence is how literally every civilisation is built and maintained.
