oo nice!

because it’s so convenient to have a shelf-stable Just Egg

You just gave me another reason not to buy into their marketing.

But then again, I’m probably not their target audience.

Eggs are too much of a hassle for me as the smell stick to the utensils (and then to the sponges I use to clean the utensils) and ruin the smell of non-egg things that I make later.

So the only time I am taking eggs is if I am in a condition where I cannot do the occasional fasting due to a bad environment.

I like mung as is and don’t need someone to ultraprocess it for me to desire it.

I am fine with sugar. Specially considering this is a naturally occurring one vs eating refined sugarcane.

Why would I go out of my way to buy “vegan egg” when I can just eat sprouted mung beans instead, which are probably much healthier and cost less.

There can’t be infinite deceleration,

I realise I should have been more specific.
Considering the pusher as a point object, deceleration of the pusher be infinite. Just another simplification so that you don’t have to calculate what would happen to all the speeds in between.

You said unfoldable not non-compressible. Your fault.

This is a nice example that also makes me think more questions.

• Will the hole punching be forward or backward?
• Assuming infinite deceleration, for an observer on the other end of the barn, will the barn be punched through, before or after the pole-pusher has stopped?
• For the pole-pusher, will the barn be punched through, before or after it has stopped?

Gets more interesting

The only time any information can be encoded onto entangled particles is when they’re created.

If that were the case, then we aren’t really doing FTL communication, unless we manage to entangle them at a distance. No?

OIC, it’s still useful if we want to make a secret key and send it somewhere. Then both sides can take a reading sometime in the future and they can then use whatever cluster of entangled particles they saw, as the symmetric key.

Nice. I’ll be looking for one soon too.
Hopefully I can find something like that.

Just hope that your new one now does not require a Wi-Fi connection and automatic software updates, which will inevitably lead to the company bricking your device 10 years down the line.

Then there’s people paying for pirated software in CDs/DVDs

At least that’s what I aim for in Civ VI.
No idea about you

enought military funding

as much as can keep you more powerful than the rest of the competition combined.

Pretty simple actually.
Just make sure you don’t have any resource worth anything in the international market.

1. Let stuff like petroleum, Lithium, Uranium and other such thingies be sold to the first bidder.
2. Have your soil be nuclear contaminated, down to the bedrock, so nobody wants your land.

• Also, import all nuclear waste from other countries

3. Have a population that looks as ugly as possible, so noone will want to rape your people.

• Should be easier considering point 2
• Something like leprosy in the genitals would help too.

4. Be absolutely full of population, such that the place is a cesspool.

Hey, I said it’d be simple, not that it would be easy or even humanly possible.
