Honestly if MILITARY applications are what kicks renewable energy and mass storage into high gear, I won't be surprised, but I will be disappointed.

But hey, improvement is still improvement and if a military organization sees renewable as the future, they're gonna try to make sure they get there first. As long as whoever gets there shares the progress with the rest of the world, I'm okay with it.

But who am I kidding, it's gonna be China or the US and the rest of the world won't see shit for decades due to suppression of research and technology that would allow for similar specs to be achieved privately...

... How credible is my aluminum foil hat guy?

I must admit though, it'd be cool to see an armored combat battery sliding across a field to quick charge a tank that died mid-battle. 10 seconds of charging to get it up and running, and the battery moves to the next low power thing. I'm imagining a semi-autonomous hot-swap of a battery compartment and eventually recharging like modern airplane mid-air refueling. Insert Rod A into Slot A and wait a little bit. The faster they want it to charge, the more they'll dump into R&D.

Best comment explanation I've read yet as to why it's important!

Thanks!

Murder is a crime. And it’s bad. (crime doesn’t necessarily mean bad, see Robin Hood for more details)

Nazis don’t count, all you’re doing is cleaning up the trash.

I've heard plenty of people try to say WOLFENSTEIN glorifies nazis

I've had one idiot tell me ANY media that paints them as competent or successful is glorifying them. And setting anything in a world where they succeeded and progressed technologically instead of collapsing is basically saying Hitler's world view is valid.

I still don't know how to respond to that beyond "if you think the nazis were incompetent you don't know history, and if you think showing a future where fascism took hold is unrealistic I have some bad news for you"

It's fantasy, and specifically a fantasy in which you get to go on a massive killing spree against some of the worst people in history, how you can somehow pull "this game is making these guys look good" from that, I'm not sure.

Murder?

I think not. Murder is a crime. And it's bad. (crime doesn't necessarily mean bad, see Robin Hood for more details)

Nazis don't count, all you're doing is cleaning up the trash.

You can't murder a nazi. You can certainly kill them though.

It's an important distinction, in my opinion.

In highschool I was challenged, BY MY CRUSH, to play "the Awkward Game"

What does this game entail? Well it's simple. All you have to do is do or say something that makes the other person feel awkward. Once they bail, you win. If you know the other person is very uncomfortable with people in their personal space, simply sitting next to them could be enough to make them feel awkward enough to move or call time.

Her first move? To take off her bra under her shirt, pull it out through the neck of her shirt and throw it at me.

Move two was sitting on my lap

Move three was to shover her arm through my sleeve and around the back, essentially hugging me closely with no bra on, sitting on my lap, in a very form-fitting outfit.

I STILL DID NOT UNDERSTAND

WHAT ELSE DID I MISS OUT ON??

Perception is a solid 8/10. Wisdom is clearly a healthy 2.

I meant more as a "we knew it was possible just not WHY it was possible" kind of way, not "we didn't believe triangles make sense because it's not possible at all" kind of way.

I'm not a wordsmith either so I hope that makes sense...

You know, I'm still not "mathy"... But it made way more sense just reading the actual paper than it did reading summaries, explanations, or the article.

Neat!

So super simplistic paraphrasing, once you know the shape of the box, you can start mapping around it? Maybe?

I'm not a mathologist, so this reads to me like "they proved it is what it is because of the way it is. That's pretty neat!"

I can understand it's significant, but that's about it. From my understanding, this doesn't really change anything about math, it's just something we didn't think was possible being proven possible.

Please correct me, mathletes! Hilariously almost all my fields of interest require math... cries in physics

This just gave me an idea for a brownie/cookie "brick wall" with peanut butter "mortar" and now I want to try and make it...

I wouldn't be able to cut anything on that, because I wouldn't want to blemish the face. It's perfect.

He's right about one thing, the CIA (probably) isn't "as bad as tankies say"

It's (probably) MUCH worse.
