The original question was why solar systems and galaxies are in planes, and your explanation is wrong.

What do you even mean by similar orbits? Most orbits are circular for a totally different reason, and that is tidal interactions.

I hate to be that guy, but this is wrong.

The solar system is mostly in one plane because it formed from a cloud of gas. The cloud of a gas has some total non zero rotation and as the cloud collapses interactions flatten the cloud into a disk, where all of the planets formed.

This same principle applies to galaxies.

I’ve only tangentially heard about this, but another issue is that doctors in the US don’t have to, and aren’t encouraged to keep up with recent research.

Combine that with a medical education system that hasn’t changed drastically in 70 years to keep up with that new research and most US doctors are just out of date.

The actual paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11100893/

It’s still a preprint, and I didn’t see the exact figure but definitely concerning.

Honestly given how Frank Herbert wrote other female characters in the books, I interpreted chani as a satirization of settler/colonizer wife.

It’s rather subtle, and would not likely come across well with a movie audience.

I’m a bit surprised at a lot of the criticisms for the movies here, and I say this as a huge fan of the Dune novels too.

Villeneuve has a particular film style like blade runner 2049, and Arrival.

If you don’t like his style you won’t like the 2nd movie.

But on the other hand part 1 sets the stage for everything that happens in part 2, and overall I think it is an excellent adaption. Dune is not an easy book to adapt to film, and some changes had to be made, but they’re aren’t any glaring changes that make me go “why the hell did you change it that way?”

It’s extremely faithful to the book, and in cases where it’s not, I can see the reasoning for the change.

It’s funny how well linux works with printers, no stupid hp app, no configuration. Just hit print and done.

Sounds like something a nazi would say.

And if they wanted their own little naziverse on the fediverse nobody could stop them, but compared to every other social media platform most of lemmy deplatformed and banned nazis, while they get privileged status on Facebook or Twitter.

Oh they tried, they got banned and any instance they spun up got defederated.

Turns out they don’t like just each other very much. And those instances did not grow on their own.

It’s not gas that’s making it dark, its dust, small particles made out of some combination of iron, silicates, carbonaceous materials, and other elements.

She only wrote one episode, so it’s still a tossup, I wonder how qualified the rest of the team is.

Oh no I read the article, I just don’t consider that testing.

It’s not really apt to compare using ram on a browser on one computer and extract that to another, there’s a lot of complicated ram and cache management that happens in the background.

Testing would involve getting a 8gb ram Mac computer and running common tasks to see if you can measure poorer performance, be it lag, stutters or frame drops.

This stuff is almost ewaste.

This is just not enough memory to make a computer last, especially since you can’t upgrade.

Websites and apps that a lot of people use just aren’t really expecting to only have 8gb ram available. Any kind of multitasking could easily run out of ram

This is a truly terrible article.

Like why not test these things? This just sounds like ai generated garbage.

That being said, 8gb is an abysmally low amount of ram in 2024. I had a mid range surface in 2014 that had that much ram. And the upcharge for more is quite ridiculous too.

I know it’s pc ram but I bought 64gb of ddr4 3600mhz for like $130. How on earth is apple charging $200 for 8!!!

Damn this is a nice looking and very informative app.

My eyes hurt, and I had eclipse glasses, and a solar filter on my telescope. Lots of these are probably just eyestrain.

Height is generally an advantage as it usually comes with increased reach and strength.

Avoid knives at all costs, but if you can’t use your reach to protect your vital bits until you can get away.

Actually maintained rail shouldn’t have this problem, but the private companies like Norfolk Southern spend the minimum amount to keep them operational.

With a budget just a fraction of highway upkeep and expansion they should be able to be kept in good repair.
