Our current understanding of the big bang is not that it spread out from one place, it happened everywhere all at once. If the universe is infinite, it started from zero volume and infinite density then immediately became infinite in volume and finite in density. The density of matter/energy is what is finite, not the amount of matter/energy, that is infinite (if the universe is infinite). Then there was a period of rapid inflation, then is settled down to the inflation we see today.

Infinite or finite, the universe is not spreading out into anything, the distances between points are simply increasing.

I'm certainly no expert so I'd appreciate any Jane Goodall types that want to correct me, but aren't almost all gorilla fights for dominance until someone backs down so no one gets too fucked up and rarely dies? Whereas polar bears kill to live.

Also, gorillas may have a hell of a haymaker but polar bears have big nasty fuck you claws.

Is going down to the courthouse and getting married again not an option? Not that you should have to do that, just curious.

Edit: I mean your local courthouse so you don't have to deal with this anymore.

It could just be one of the 19 new shows adult swim put out this week instead of a decent end to Metalocalypse or The Venture Brothers. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this silly shit.

Letterkenny. A couple of degens fucking a, possibly sick, ostrich - Allegedly - is a running joke.

You should watch it and it's spinoff, Shorsey.

Several companies have this now, but not in the US. For some reason the regulations don't allow it. Auto high beams can only go off and on, no zones. My car has the capability but it's software limited to comply with US laws. I guess it's cheaper to make them all the same and limit them than make different ones for the US market. There was supposed to be a change to the laws that allowed it in '22 but they fucked it up. If they ever fix the regulations it can be turned on with a software update.

In addition to what others have said, it also affects camber in turns. Positive caster when turning gives the outside wheel negative camber and the inside wheel positive camber to keep a larger patch of contact when turning at high speed.

I loved Japan. I've visited Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Okinawa so far. I plan for more thorough trips once I'm retired and have the time.

One thing there that fucked up my normal vacation flow (this was also true in Korea), it's hard to get a drink before the evening. Our thing is walking around to see things while constantly stopping for drinks and sometimes food. Stopping at a cafe to have a bottle of wine al fresco while soaking up the local scenery and people watching while discussing the places we just visited is something we usually do 2-4 times a day before dinner. Little sidewalk cafes with alcohol aren't really a thing there. You have to go into a hotel or full restaurant and even then they look at you weird when you order alcohol that early and being inside isn't what we want. You might be able to find some convenience stores with a table or two outside, but drinking at a plastic table outside a 7-11 isn't really the vibe we're going for.

Despite what you may have heard about the drinking culture there, it's definitely considered more of a nighttime activity.

I almost never posted on Reddit. Partly because someone has usually already said something close to what I wanted to say. With the smaller community here I feel like I can make a unique contribution more often.

I signed up for the digg relaunch with the hope it can kill Reddit off for good.

I wish lemmy could do it, and the fediverse will always be there for the people who are willing to put in the tiny extra effort. But I think it'll take something centralized and easy to understand for the average person who doesn't care about that stuff to really make a dent and start an exodus.

Here is a reddit post by a marshal riding in one of the trucks. It includes an update with a link to a response (on Twitter, sorry) from the owner and the marshal's response to it.

I thought it was that the guest in room one was doing some weird diaper/puppet sex shit and the prospective guest was no longer interested in the room.

But maybe that's a me problem.
