  • You could calculate it more accurately, of course. But the relationship between earth's circumference and the distance to the moon is roughly 1:10, purely by coincidence, making it easy to calculate an estimate when scaling earth up or down.

  • I looked up the circumference of a football and it said about 70cm. As the moon is about 10 times the circumference of the earth away, that'd put the moon at 7m away.

  • Australia is wider than the moon. If earth had the size of a football (soccer), the moon would be about 7m away. If the sun had a diameter of 1m, Neptune would be 5.6km away. In that scale model, the next star would be placed in the outer planets. Space is insanely big.

  • Nextcloud Notes covers all my needs.

  • Real life AneurysmPosting every time he opens his mouth.

  • It's still funny that so much boils down to steampunk with a fake mustache.

  • Fun fact if you're into Star Trek: The sister is Jeffrey Combs' daughter.

  • Is it "in another continent" or "on another continent" or are both fine?

  • Yeah, I remember that one. But it's just inside the Enterprise and on the outside of the sphere. So weird that there's nothing with an actual sphere.

  • Hm, is there sci-fi set inside a Dyson sphere? I am aware of Ringworld, but I want an actual sphere with a star in the center.

  • I just looked it up and it's from 2011, which was 15 years ago. So it's not even old enough to buy beer.

  • Oof. That hurts just hearing about it.

  • Yeah, I know how crazy expensive e-ink is, so I was curious what this dude paid. Dropping 2k on this means you have a lot of cash lying around.

  • That 32" display is priced as "ask for a quote", lol.

  • Marketing claims don't absolve you from doing your due diligence.

  • This is taking masochism to a new level. He can, of course, do what he wants. But my god this is a dumb idea.

  • Payments are very different. Any company is required to keep track of their finances, the tax authorities don't fuck around. If you electronically pay for something and expect anonymity, you are not very, um, educated. If you feel like you need their paid plans, pay cash and only ever access it through TOR running Tails. I feel like that's a reasonable level of opsec for most activists.
