no, i mean theoretically who knows, but practically no. compressing something to be more dense than a solid is energy intense. you are surpassing the bond energy of moleculesto do it. second, compressing enough osmium is going to take less, but still bigajoules, of energy. the compressive stress is immense. anything that could hold thht stress is much too big to fit in the package.

you can poison the well this way too, ultimately, but it's important to note: generally it is not llm cleaning this up, it's slaves. generally in terrible conditions.

You're also unfortunately simply wrong

notably

We found substantial asymmetry in total following across platforms: Right-leaning online shows had at least 480.6 million total followers and subscribers — nearly five times as many as left-leaning.

  • Across platforms — YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — right-leaning online shows accounted for roughly 82% of the total following of the online shows we assessed.
  • Comparatively, left-leaning online shows had nearly 104 million followers and subscribers across the eight platforms — nearly five times less.
  • Nine out of the 10 online shows with the largest followings across platforms were right-leaning, with a total following of more than 197 million. The only left-leaning show among the top 10 was What Now? with Trevor Noah, which had 21.1 million total followers and subscribers across platforms.

critical thinking does not simply mean "think hard", it means research this person and account for maybe two, even three, seconds, before assuming everything they say is truth.

"they looked at the thing that they wanted to look at" also rogan is still among the top podcasts including on spotify. the study if you read it, is looking at what 21% of adults get news from. 77% of the sources that 21% get some or most of their news from are spreading climate misinformation.

perhaps instead use critical thinking to determine genuinity. the alternative is not xitter's version, and twitters old version was criticized too.

it kinda does both, there are more mice but the more naturalized habitat gives them more places to hide that isnt your house, especially in the spring/summer fall, but winter too. I dont know, others get mice all the time anyway, we occasionally do, i dont know if it's an improvement or not. I do know that a well sealed house in the woods with totally native habitat for acres (not mine sadly, lol) has far fewer pests than in any suburb house so i think there's merit.

an attempt was made

they are indeed very alien it's true. And i suppose, i just dont really want people thinking bees are immune to smoke or other airborne toxin.

Another fun fact is that bee flight muscles are directly saturated with oxygen and have a power density comparable to helicopters. The whole bee in flight is comparable to a car. Crazy creatures.

am i the only one who notices that this logic makes no sense? it doesnt matter that they have no lungs, they still are susceptible to both heat and airborn toxins, they perform gas exchange. They lived because the heat and smoke were below lethal toxic levels for them.

that's not really relevant to the question at hand. "but magic" is clearly not an interesting answer when people are playing around with physics.

The light diffracts before it reaches the lens so this wont help. Also, refraction doesnt change the wavelength of light, it just takes time to bounce and re-emit through the medium.
