But I don't think it can be maintained for a long time
 
you need resources to build automation systems
and upkeep
 
and resources are always limited and humans' wants are always unlimited, according to the first law of economics
 
@ToshinouKyouko pretty much automatable :p
 
Well Im guessing Hakase also assumed a post-scarcity world
 
then humans wouldn't need to make choices
 
4:01 PM
@GaoWeiwei chemistry, substitutes, slightly different goods that serve the same purposes
 
@Frosteeze wtf go to school
 
he is at school
and I'm writing right from the shower :p
 
you assume that people would automate for the good of humanity, rather than greed
 
Waterproof phone?
 
Hmm... don't need to make choices ... is that a good thing?
 
4:03 PM
@Eric lies
@ToshinouKyouko I would greedily and selfishly forcefully make others automate things for the good of humanity, yes
 
@nhahtdh It wouldn't because we'd have a different problem than you described though. Having choice to not work is good. Some people just can't work and we should give everyone that choice.
 
@Hakase how can you do this though
 
just make em do what I say lol
 
convincing :p
 
I could threaten them with death by cakes
sweet, sweet death
 
4:06 PM
that is a good way to die
 
@Eric I am at school
 
@Frosteeze is it a fish school?
 
@Frosteeze pay attention or else fail
 
It's called Stack Exchange Anime & Manga University
 
things like stock markets would get much more investment and from this, further increase inequality, rather than improve the world
 
4:06 PM
ye those diving suits are dangerous
gotta keep an eye on the rebreather tank
@Frosteeze SEAMU
 
Professor Hakase plz lecture
 
ahem
today we'll learn how to save the world
 
first of all we need to define what exactly that "salvation" means
most people have their own unique idea
and we know you can't make everyone happy at the same time
or rather not for a long time
 
@ton.yeung Horn, halo, wings, the whole deal.
 
4:09 PM
@Hakase AMUSE
 
Anime & Manga University at Stack Exchange
nice
 
naisu
 
And Hakase is a professor emeritus at AMUSE.
 
Professor Hakase = Professor PhD
 
PHD = Professor Hakase Doctor
be sure to write that down!
 
4:12 PM
And someone has yet to graduate from Anime & Manga University at Stack Exchange.
 
we have a high standard
 
that will be @ToshinouKyouko
waht?

Q: What should a university-level course about manga and anime culture cover as part of its curriculum?

sm4This question is not asking about a course that teaches how to create manga or anime, but a curriculum of a course similar to English literature. Such course would teach the history and culture of anime and manga by studying representative works of different periods and genres and their cultural ...

I'm teaching part of the anime-manga course

@Taisho is loli recruiter
 
Lolis are the best!
 
Ah um, and that was our TA Taisho giving the occasional pop quizzes.
 
@MadaraUchiha So basically everyone's going one-winged angel now?
 
@Yuuki That's from the Railgun manga
 
4:16 PM

> When under tremendous emotional pressure like in extreme rage, he manifests massive black wings, stated to be made of the same "Dark Matter" that the #2 Level 5 Kakine Teitoku creates with his ability.
That's from the Accelerator page on the TMNI wikia
Where was that "stated" exactly? I don't remember that
 
Wings of dark matter wtf anime physics
 
@Frosteeze That's actually the sane part...
Well, saner.
@ton.yeung Yes, those are LEVEL 5.1, LEVEL 5.2 and LEVEL 5.3
of the Railgun
Accelerator's Winged modes are assumed to be phases between 5 and 6 too
But not level 6.
Level 6 is comparable to a Magic God
Absolute understanding and ability to manipulate the laws of physics, basically.
@ton.yeung It was a 3way for about a minute, then he realized the FK is on his side, so they both attacked Gabriel (but were still no match)
 
I kinda lost interest in To Aru after Accelerator created plasma by making baby noises.
That was too surreal for me to deal with.
 
XD
@ton.yeung He wasn't on that particular instance
 
4:24 PM
@ton.yeung A.K.A. baby noises.
 
It was before he manifested wings for the first time AFAICR
Yes
Yeah, it was weird indeed
@Yuuki you should look at Railgun
Railgun is better than index (no boring magic parts, a lot darker and more epic in general)
@ton.yeung And the anime.
 
@MadaraUchiha "A lot darker" is not a plus for me.
 
@Yuuki Darker in a good way :P
It's nowhere near AoT or Mirai Nikki levels
But it's not all rainbows and sunshines either.
Lots more moe in Railgun.
 
More Uiharu's pantsu, service courtesy of Saten-san
 
The power balance in the Index/Railgun universe is pretty insane though
 
4:29 PM
 
Accelerator can likely take out all of Academy City, all espers, the Imagine Breaker, the Misaka Network and everything in between included
singlehandedly
And there are at least 7 or 8 characters stronger than he is.
(And another 20-30 or so "theoretical" ones)
 
#tomato
 
I remember in a forum someone said that Fiamma of the Right's ability is basically "I win" and he's still not the strongest.
 
4:31 PM
@GaoWeiwei That's pretty much accurate.
The Magic Gods make Fiamma look puny
 
@ton.yeung How far have you read?
@ton.yeung What happens at the end of which?
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Ah yea that one. How did you know?
 
@ton.yeung I see. You need to keep reading then
What's stopping you?
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ maybe you know?

Stated where?

4:38 PM
@ton.yeung I read that battle twice, I don't remember anyone saying that
 
@ton.yeung I think your syntax might be wrong.
 
@MadaraUchiha volume 15 part 4 or 5, on the wiki: toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/…
speaking of super powers....
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Yup, found it
 
@Hakase Why does every Russian home I've seen have a rug hanging on a wall instead of on the floor?
 
they're decorative, right
 
4:50 PM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ They come with the free Grandma that's hanging around in the house at all times.
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I feel like I should get the reference in that one
 
@MadaraUchiha so it's traditionally inherited?
@MadaraUchiha Mokona
Snowpocageddon is cool i.imgur.com/ILX0gmv.gifv
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Right
 
wtf the magic gods are still not the strongest?
 
@GaoWeiwei Magic Gods are arguably the strongest.
Comparable with science-side SYSTEM (or Level 6)
@ton.yeung Please read volume 11.

MarcoI have found this question: Corrupted question The first answer seems to be corrupted. I see the answer as follow: Is it an issue of my pc or not?

@Mysticial ^ XDDDDD

@ton.yeung maybe that's your tummy or allergies
take some meds and give it another thought
 
@MadaraUchiha lol. They should probably put a historic lock on the whole question. Not only will it solve the flagging problem, it will also keep votes on the other answers from "catching up".

AndrusetoI know that the devil fruits come from a tree (is that a only therory or really confirmed). Also do all different devil fruits come from the same tree or from different as usual by fruits. And where are these tree/ trees placed? And how does become that all devil fruits are scattered on so man...

Q: When does this image of Shinji Ikari sitting in a folding chari appear?

ikarikunshinjiI'm referring to this image. At the very beginning of episode 25, this very similar picture occurs, however, even after rewatching the final two episodes a few times, I can't find the image. Is there some specific release of the episodes that the first image occurs in, or does it even not occur...

Q: How do 3D objects coincide with traditional 2D animation?

Brian ChinI was watching an episode of Shirobako. I love how the anime gives you a slight in-depth view on the production process. But something I can't get my mind around is those few segments that involve CGI with the interaction of traditional 2D in anime. In the episode there was this moment with key ...

 
@ton.yeung I've never heard this, but I'm not a big coffee drinker.
There's an answer there now though so I guess it's true.
 
@ton.yeung salt
use brackish water or to add a small amount of salt to the water used to brew the coffee
the Na+ ion diminishes bitterness by interfering with the transduction mechanism of that taste
 
@MadaraUchiha Left a comment for Brad. But I won't make a meta spectacle about it since I'm a bit worried the potential for side-effects - such as getting all popular posts locked. (which you know I don't want. :))
 
Cupcake (unintentionally) came pretty close to doing that. But fortunately I managed to turn it around.
 
9:09 PM
8 mins ago, by ʞɹɐzǝɹ
use brackish water or to add a small amount of salt to the water used to brew the coffee
@ton.yeung dude that is a process
@ton.yeung that you add to the process of brewing
fine!
@ton.yeung Medium roasted coffee has less soluble solids, a higher acid content, and a potent aroma when compared to darkly roasted coffee. All of these factors are known to reduce perceived bitterness
 
@ton.yeung There's a site for coffee? I would've thought that'd be covered in seasoned advice.
 
@ton.yeung Decaffeination slightly reduces the perceived coffee bitterness. allowing the coffee to soak in fresh water for approximately twenty-four hours after the fermentation process (they do this in Kenya) is said to reduce coffee bitterness
@ton.yeung brewing via a drip system reduces coffee bitterness relative to French press or other soaking methods, but this is likely due to the decrease in soluble solids, which is positively correlated with bitterness
@ton.yeung a coarser grind reduces coffee bitterness. it's noted however that the proper grind size should always be used to ensure proper extraction
 
@Mysticial Just opened an hour ago
 
Anyway it is covered by Cooking SE, but that didn't really stop them this time. There's some A51 discussions related to that.
 
9:18 PM
@ton.yeung the perceived bitter taste in the mouth from coffee is correlated to the extent of extraction. the extent of extraction is dependent upon the roast, the mineral content of the water, water temperature, time, grind size, and brewing procedure
@ton.yeung bitterness is reduced in coffee brewed with either soft or hard water relative to distilled water
@ton.yeung Bitterness is correlated with the total dissolved solids of a coffee. perceived coffee bitterness is lower when coffee is brewed hot than when cooler water is used. this is hypothesized to be due to the heightened aromatics released in hot coffee, which counteract the bitterness
 
@ton.yeung No, it's different. In that case, AU came first. If Unix had come first, AU probably wouldn't have been made. It's more like us and Movies & TV/Scifi, where most of our questions were technically already on topic on those sites, but it wasn't an obvious place for people to go or for experts on the particular subtopic to gather.
Yeah pretty much.
It depends on the case.
I think in general SE is a bit too lenient with these things, but in the case of Coffee it probably makes some sense.

Tea

Proposed Q&A site for everything tea-related, from Camellia Sinensis to your favorite blend. How to drink it, how to make it, how to enjoy the most of it...

Currently in definition.

That's at least the 3rd proposal. Coffee similarly had several that failed before this one made it to beta.
 
@MadaraUchiha looks like the plan was to make Misaka a god. now to queue in Kuroko to have a sudden change of character and not act pervy to Misaka and snap her out of it and in the process confess
Kuroko: please stop! this isn't the onee-sama i looked up...no, that's not right, this isn't the onee-sama i fell in love with. please! wake up and come back to me!
 
@ton.yeung coffee bitterness is decreased by the addition of sucrose, sodium chloride, or citric acid. hydrocolloids, in general, were found to decrease the perception of coffee bitterness
 
@ton.yeung The Wikipedia contains no knowledge of such a thing
 
9:26 PM
!!wiki hydrocolloids
 
A colloid is a substance in which microscopically dispersed insoluble particles are suspended throughout another substance. Sometimes the dispersed substance alone is called the colloid; the term colloidal suspension refers unambiguously to the overall mixture (although a narrower sense of the word suspension is contradistinguished from colloids by larger particle size). Unlike a solution, whose solute and solvent constitute only one phase, a colloid has a dispersed phase (the suspended particles) and a continuous phase (the medium of suspension). To qualify as a colloid, the mixture must be one...

Q: what is the meaning/purpose of the (not) in the title?

Memor-XIn Rebuild of Evangelion the titles of the first 3 movies are You Are (Not) Alone You Can (Not) Advance You Can (Not) Redo I am wondering what is the purpose and/or meaning the inclusion of (Not) in the titles.

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Railgun/Monster Hunter crossover?
I'm okay with that.
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ if there is a Monster Hunter game which has bare minimal monster than this would be why, the SISTERS are getting to them before anyone else

Misaka: hey Kuroko, now we're dating you want to...well...sleep in the same bed?

@Memor-X The issue is that the average otaku will get no one who wants to f--k them.
 
@Yuuki then assume the average otaku is thrown into an area populated by homosexsuals and girls who would label them a hasbando...or what ever the term is
 
@Yuuki god eater
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I prefer my version.
I've played God Eater and it was all right.
But no Monster Hunter.
 
@Yuuki i have God Easter Burst on the PSP but i haven't played it yet, need to be a more stable memory card
it currently sits with Black Rock Shooter The Game and Hakouki
