Then help me understand please. What do you mean by “esoteric” in regards to oop in Python compared to a language better suited for it?

I disagree. Python is not “esoteric” when making objects. The syntax is certainly easier than in Java.

Like many people with the reddit exodus.

But i also got quite annoyed with the main German communities shifting more and more to the right and the moderators of the largest german subreddit to tolerate and enable transphobic and racist discussions, e.g. when there was some tabloid “news” on either topic shared.

I dont know how much of it was because the communities were more and more targeted by organized far right propaganda and how much was the moderators of the /r/de subreddit sharing such viewpoints.

Those trends already happened for some years, getting particularly worse with covid.

Isnt the federations key idea to avoid collapse if any single instance it failing? This sounds like the system has become too centralized around lemmy.world

Then why are Christian depictions of Angels strongly different from the biblical and quranic descriptions? I.e. looking at the paintings and statues in Rome.

Also then the prophet Mohammed would have needed some sort of elusive Jewish or Christian mentor, that somehow was close to him all the time over two decades, reading the Torah or Bible to him. But no such figure is mentioned, despite the life of Mohammed to be about the best reported on life of a historical figure. There is countless of eyewitness reports about his life and work, yet there is no mention of such a person. The Quran strictly rejects the concept of trinity or Jesus being the literal son of god, but confirms the virgin pregnancy of Mary. So it seems extremely implausible for their to be a Christian who would have told all these things to Mohammed.

The reason why i am so pedantic about it, is because the statements made by Mohammed are not just some general “there is angels with wings and stuff” or “there was this Moses guy” statements, but sharing details with the Torah descriptions in Hebrew, but also distinctly differing on some aspects with the Torah in a consistent way. For instance the differences in the story of Moses or Abraham

So an Arab who lived in a city where Pagan believes dominated and neither read nor write was read the Torah in hebrew that he didn’t understand? And that is how he made statementes consistent with the descriptions in hebrew, which again he didn’t understand?

And those stories didn’t change over 3.000 years?

deleted by creator

The accounts are consistent over a timeframe of about three thousand years, counting from Abraham to Mohammed (s.a.s). Note that Mohammed was an arab who could neither read nor write, leave alone hebrew.

If it was just some birds brought in by merchants that would be an extraordinarily long time to not realise that.

If humans are bound to a three dimensional realm it only makes sense that god created angels as higher dimensional beings to intercede between the limited humans and the infinity of god.

If you water your carpet and do this for like a few hundred years or so, a nice layer of top soil should form on it.

God i miss my little eco-anarchists.

How did you calculate 8200 m/s?

the gravitaitonal constant is only constant at one specific height in the gravitaitonal field. But the gravitaitonal force is reducing, the further away from earth you get. So what you actually have to do is calculate U1 = -GMm/r1 for the LEO and U2 = -GMm/r2 for surface level. leaving out the objects mass already you get as difference

(U1-U2)/m = 6.67e-11 x 5.97e24 x (1/6,73e6-1/8,73e6) = 13,555 Now that is your specific energy from the starting velocity = 1/2 v² from the kinetic energy. So at ground level you actually need 5,206 m/s ignoring air friction.

Also your length of the railgun exceeds the atmosphere, so not only for the friction, but also for the distance to earth you will need much less speed at the end of that railgun. Furthermore g will get less as it gets higher, so you can accelerate faster towards the end of it.

I’m not claiming the concept is viable by default, but your calculation is not including crucial aspects of how gravitaitonal force changes in a gravitaitonal field.

There is also the whole formula set that adequately describes the phenomenon. It is a three dimensional set of differential equations, where you can only ever know five out of six starting conditions, so you need to iteratively adjust the sixth one until your error term is small enough. The formula set was developed 80 years after Johnsons proposal, using the advancements in computing technology, but the results are not better than what we get with the Bill Factor

So we thank Bill Johnson every day we use his Factor.

Whenever dealing with exponential stuff i try to just focus on the formula of what is happening in the exponent. logarithms are taking that down to “normal space”. E.g. exponential functions are like in a warp drive, but you still have ships that can warp faster than others.

Electromagnetics are dark magic and there is no way to teach it in any simpler terms that make it plausible without dark magic.

Even if you get all the concepts down. If you start asking “why”. The only real answer is, because in 73 BC an egyptian, a roman and a greek magician met in a basement in Kathargo to perform the most heinous ritual. But since the roman guy had a lisp in saying his incantation, instead of unleashing the demons of hell onto earth, electromagnetics becamse what they are.

This is all nice and well, until your footnotes are half a page of explanation that was impossible to fit in the text directly.

There is a regular governmental press conference, usually monday, wednesday and friday where the speakers of the chancellor and the ministries are invited by an independant journalist organization. The organization is called Bundespressekonferenz.

Since about ten years the journalist Tilo Jung is recording most of the press conferences and uploading them to his youtube channel I highly recommend you to watch the latest video on the massacre in Gaza. The current government called it an “tragic use of shooting weapons”.

I cannot find the specific video right now, because the topic of mass surveillance through automated scanning of messengers, or by allowing back doors has been a topic since at least the past 5 or 6 years. Please note that i was refferring not to this but the previous german government, albeit the current chancellor party SPD was also in the previous government and the chancellor Scholz was the last finance minister under Merkel.

If you believe my statement to be implausible without video evidence, i’d like to invite you to meet our former minister of defence in the current government, Lambrecht, who resigned after referring to the war in Ukraine as an opportunity to have met many nice people in a social media video. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64288267

Before she was defence minister under this goverment, she was minsiter of justice under the previous government. There she demanded that all websites should hand passwords over to the police as demanded. When it was pointed out that there is no use with hashed passwords, she asked to just safe them in plain text then. Alongside where further demands for extensive backdoors, violation of encryption and automatic scanning. It took months of heavy criticism to get her to drop it, despite the main point being that most of what she proposed was in violation of other laws including EU regulation.

And that is were you are not recognising the reality, that there is many issues where there is no “rational” or “ethical” middle ground, between two points.

Also i’m not fear mongering. The US right wing is pushing for reestablishing child labor in many place:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/20/republican-child-labor-law-death

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/30/economy/child-labor-louisiana-texas/index.html

https://abcnews.go.com/US/despite-hazardous-working-conditions-states-rolling-back-child/story?id=107209273

In the 21. Century in a developed country there is only one rational and ethical answer to child labor and that is to fully reject it.

Should we reestablish child labor?

Left-Wing: Fuck no! What is wrong with you dumbfucks

Right-Wing: Yes please, our shares can only get so erect, even if most of us dont hold any

“Enlighted” centrists: Guys guys lets compromise in the middle: child labor only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays

When asked about employing mass surveillance, in particular also spying on Journalists, Doctors and Lawyers, the previous German government replied, that it is fine if we do it. After all we are not like Russia, China or Saudi Arabia, so those people have nothing to fear…

If we could power the earth from Orwell turning in his grave, we would have solved cliamte change long ago.
