Some numbers are missing...[due to] out of memory error.

The S7+ seems to have 6 or 8GB RAM, but the iPhone 7 only has 2, yet it seems the iPhone ran the test and the S7+ didn't. I wonder if the iOS implementation is that much better, or Android isn't set up with any swap, or...?

I know the "attack helicopter" bit is a transphobic trope, but given how hard those fans are probably working, I think this computer might actually identify as one.

(If this comment is offensive I can remove it/mod can obviously remove it


not trying to be a dick!)

Human gestation is 10 months

"Full term" pregnancy is ~40w from last menstrual period, or ~38w from conception. There are ~4.345 weeks/month, putting full term at ~8.75 to ~9.2 months. Note the 9.2 months includes ~2 weeks before fertilization.

(Not sure if I'm being whooshed or not...)

Because not all humans strive for honor.

Would that really help though? Gold is super soft so I think it would need to get frequently coated/plated again


and we already have pretty good and resistant marine paint.

Titanium is very corrosion resistant, not to mention plastics/fiberglass/carbon fiber, as I understand.

But yeah, cheap gold would be be great, just seems to me that the market would more be in e.g. electronics, where both corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity are required (something gold is fairly unique at).

People praise the female reproductive system as miraculous because it can make a baby in only 9 months. Like that's neat and all, but my reproductive system can make a baby in approximately 13 seconds, so I don't see what all the fuss is about.

When copy says, "the X of the future will have Y," it's often laughable how wrong they get it


but in this case, remarkably true.

Yes, but you're not alone (my partner tends this way).

Don't forget Pinarello! Gorgeous and, last I checked, very well regarded. Just make sure your wallet is prepared


you can definitely drop $15k on a well-spec'd Pinarello Dogma.

The CW folks would presumably be sending QTH instead


I wonder if this graph captures that/if it would make an appreciable difference?

I just wish they made toddler clothes in my size.

Grass is ugly no matter the state it is in

I think bamboo can be pretty though 🤷
