Einstein's elevator explains why acceleration can mimic gravity. It doesn't, by itself, explain why a stationary cube would emerge with a large sideways velocity. That conclusion depends on additional assumptions about how moving portals transfer momentum.

It would be A because it's the orange portal that's moving, not the cube.

The only way it would be B is if the portals suck since the cube doesn't have any momentum to begin with. The game clearly shows that this is not how portals work.

Hot take:

The Galactic Empire is portrayed as bad mainly due to it's execution of power. The Empire's ideals of order and stability don't actually seem so bad in theory. Even the Mandolorian spin-off show supports this perspective.

Online multiplayer games used to be fub but they have really gone downhill recently.

The most fun I have ever had in a video game was hunting a bear in RDR2 to make clothing with the pelt. It took several days but I think that's what made finding the bear so satisfying.

There is currently no public breakdown of U.S. data center water consumption by AI vs non-AI workloads. However, AI appears to account for a minority of total data center compute and electricity demand today, suggesting its share of water consumption is also likely to be a minority, though the exact proportion is unknown.

However I can give some examples of cloud services:

AWS / Amazon data centers used roughly 2.5 billion gallons globally in 2025

Google data centers used roughly 7.7 billion gallons globally in 2024

https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/data-center-water-use-black-box-google-trying-to-change

All U.S. data centers: about 17.4 billion gallons per year direct water consumption in 2023, projected to reach 38–73 billion gallons per year by 2028. That includes cloud, AI, enterprise, colocation, storage, etc.

Exactly. Their employer doesn't pay them a living wage, and refusing to tip sure as hell won't fix that. Their employer couldn't give less of a fuck.

Your mad at the system but taking it out on a server who didn't do anything to deserve it?

Judging by your reply, it seems like you understand this but don't care. That just makes you arrogant.

Yes, you read that correctly...

A decapitated, disemboweled goat is surprisingly hard to tear apart. The hide and connective tissue can withstand dozens of riders yanking it around at full gallop.

I don't think that's the roast it was meant to be...

The meme is implying:

The U.S. is so accustomed to being either victorious or at least never conquered that many Americans have never had to think about what a traditional military defeat looks like.

The hidden premise is:

Americans are shocked because they're not used to being on the receiving end of victory conditions.

Sure, but the term Football wasn't coined when ball games were invented. It was coined much later when there were already lots of different sports.

Among the sports people people played at the time, Football was one where the participants are on foot.

Umm... ever heard of Polo? Buzkashi? Chovgan? Pato? All of those are ball games played on horseback (except Buzkashi which is played on horseback but uses a a goat carcass instead of a ball)

Your analogy is also false because cars were invented before planes.

1885–1886: Benz Patent-Motorwagen becomes the first practical automobile.

1903: Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright achieve the first powered, controlled airplane flight with the Wright Flyer.

Actually I believe it's called "Football" because most ball games were originally played on horseback.

Football (Soccer) was one of the first ball games to be played on foot, hence Foot-ball

That's why Rugby, Canadian Football, Australian Football, and American Football are also types of "Football".

Also, the name "Soccer" was literally invented in England. It's short for "Association Football" (Association - Assoc - Soccer) so shut the f*** up
