Wasn’t that the LAPD? It was an ACAB moment I believe, not ICE specifically.

The ice it was on melted and it sunk.
That sort of artifact will just make the entire campaign vaapad.

✺roguetrick✺@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•An alien who sees in the radio part of the light spectrum would probably be blinded by all our wireless communications1·24 hours agoYeah and even functional infrared eyes need to be at least twice the size of ours if not over ten times for more far thermal ranges. Anime eyes. The classic 20/20 D&D infravision would require eyes the size of basketballs, lol. Dark elves would put the innsmouth look to shame.
Owning a horse is like owning a boat. It’s not going to grant you happiness.
✺roguetrick✺@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•An alien who sees in the radio part of the light spectrum would probably be blinded by all our wireless communications251·2 days agoHandheld devices can receive it, but to actually “see” with it you need a very large aperture(iris) and a “retina” with many of those antennas that respond to different wavelengths. The overall structure of an eye capable of seeing would be massive, not because the signal is faint or you can’t “fit” the amplitude in the aperture but because that’s what you need for acuity and to actually have meaningful angular resolution. Those long waves have more limited angles to fit in a given eye diameter. For something like AM, we’re talking a very big structure.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution
θ ≈ λ/D where θ is the angular resolution, λ is the wavelength, and D is the diameter of the aperture
As you can see, increasing the wavelength by orders of magnitude means you need to increase the aperture by orders of magnitude to get the same angular resolution.

If they were able to see a significant chunk of it at good acuity they’d have to be so big I doubt they could survive in a gravity well thanks to the square cube law of surface area. Be more like living space stations. If they were distributed organisms like a mycelium or Aspen colony, maybe they could survive actually visiting Earth, but they’d be really big. Processing that much data over large areas would mean they are very sophisticated thinkers but with a very high latency so slow.
One fun implication of these building sized to tens of kilometer sized eyes is that am sources would look like a one color light source getting brighter and darker while an fm source would slightly shift colors. Going to earth would be like going clubbing with strobes and disco lights thrown everywhere.
Get your hand off my penis! This is the bloke who got me on the penis before.

✺roguetrick✺@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"?3·3 days agoThat’s close to what Scalia/Thomas argued but that’s not what the majority opinion says. They explicitly say you always have the ability to plead the fifth and have it not be used as evidence. And it’s true. You never have to self incriminate. But their argument is you have to make it explicit, which is frankly dumb.

That’s at least good to see.
He made over 100 trips, the grand jury found
Bondi misrepresenting just what a grand jury is and what they decide without ABC correcting it is not good to see though.
✺roguetrick✺@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you care about up/down votes?36·3 days agoThe amount of lurkers would surprise you.
You’ve got little concept of what their cause is. Their cause is “you’ve pushed us to the breaking point and this society is no longer worth enabling, the social contract is dead.” It’s not to make the liberals sad, it’s to hit everyone who wants to enable the system through disruption until their grievances are acknowledged. That’s always been the method of even the most peaceful of successful protest movements. The entire point is to flex political power(and I’m not talking about voting here), not hope some liberal gives them thoughts and prayers.
