Somewhat funny that he ended up known as just Al-Khwarizmi. My understanding is that that portion of his title just means 'from Khwarizmi’ or ‘of Khwarizmi’.

So how we know him is basically “that guy from Khwarazm”

It doesn’t produce them. It simply emits them. The whole body produces them as a collective effort.

What’s the processing machine for? What do you process on it?

Ah yes, wind chimes. That was my first thought.

That has less to do with the switch 2 and its price, and more about what ‘fuck Nintendo’ has always been about: Nintendo constantly being litigious, overpriced, and a totally locked-down ecosystem. Ultimately, that’s why folks rag on nintendo. If chode didn’t sue every game spinoff out of existence, attempt to shut down tournaments not sponsored by them, and all the other variety of scandals they’ve been involved, there’d be less ragging on them in general.

Car accidents. All collision types become more likely as speed increases, and injuries increase with that - not chance of injury, total injuries. Bench seats were abandoned for bucket seats because bench seats are objectively more deadly when analyzing car crashes.

You need to limit the speed a vehicle can go if you’re going to make unsafe designs acceptable again, otherwise you’re just gambling with lives for fun cabin interiors.

Is it really that complicated? I was under the impression that toothpaste was mostly just a soft abrasive mixed with an antibacterial and some flavoring and scent. Basically like baking soda, which does all those things at once.

Delicate and precise organs deserve delicate and precise treatment. Durable organs get the drill.

Wouldn’t going through two loops require the genie to grant more than three wishes?

That’s wack, considering she looked like this during that period of time.

Like, how do you not fucking see that’s a kid?

Machineguns and an ethernet port.

Original for posterity

I like oral memes.

Mm yummy bone cracker. Mmmmm

Yes, because criminality has nothing to do with morals. If the state views you as a criminal, you are a criminal. That’s why some criminals are still good people and cool.

‘Twink! Educational Publishing’

(I know it says ‘twinkl’ but it’s too good as twink to leave alone)

Bruh, I still haven’t gotten over oblivion. Skyrim never scratched that itch.

Nobel had his brother exploded by the nitroglycerine formula he created, so for certain disgustingly wealthy folks, it really do be just ‘a random person dies’ matter.

EDIT: sorry, not one of Nobel’s later formulations, it was actually just straight nitroglycerine. Alfred Nobel would later stabilize it with diatomaceous earth and then, much later, with cotton.

It’s a heuristic that says ‘most often the simplest solution is the best solution’. It’s supposed to be used to shorten the path of finding a viable solution to a question or problem.

Basically, you find the simplest possible solutions, the ones with the fewest variables to account for, and you test them. They usually take the least amount of time to test, and they usually yield a solution faster because of that.

This heuristic is often misused by concluding that very simple answers are immediately correct without actually verifying. Its best application is for selecting possible solutions to test only.

Quite a few of the photos taken are shot around the base of oil rigs, so we do actually have a scale for some of them.
