教大家如何快速分辨出一个人是否善良

如果一个人能够忍受长期的独来独往
跟谁都远远的，跟谁都有距离感
情绪稳定内敛
还有种淡淡的幽默感
和ta相处时，ta不会释放攻击性
这种情况下，你别管他/她名声有多差，人缘有多差，他/她大概率是个内核善良的好人

In a very strange situation where I was offered a job five rungs above my current one but the drug test might get me fired from both (same company). Well played God, very funny.

I keep staring at people imagining their childhoods and how they were babies and their parents held them having so many dreams for what they could become and now they’re this scruffy dude talking to me about hypergamy and loneliness. They once played hide n seek and laughed.

Dear God, I am sorry I keep asking, but please, help me to be less lazy and retarded. Thank you. Amen.

サイバーパンクエッジランナーズ2、10話のウィークおじさんの喪失と未練/呪縛（アヴィダ）からの解放……その上でそうして未練からも解放され、血縁も無くともそれでもなお大事なもの（タリア）に向かい、かつての栄光も振り捨てて身一つで一心に走る姿にキャラクターとしての良さが詰まっていた。
娘大事さに騙され利用された立場でもありつつ、それでも"アヴィダが守ってくれた"とでもいうようにお揃いだったインプラント（中指にそれぞれK/Aのイニシャル）で骨壺を掴むと壺は崩れ、未練/呪縛が綺麗に晴れるように遺灰は風に散らされていく。それは1話冒頭のサイバーサイコシスに囚われて見たアヴィダの幻影、それに前作で母の遺灰と願いに囚われ続けたデイヴィッド・マルティネスとも対照的な姿。
そしてそこで茫然自失に陥るのでなく、すぐに「タリア」と呟き、立ち上がり、大事なものに向かって走り出す。その時、「キング」という名と過去の栄光を象徴するような王冠のロゴが入ったジャケットを振り捨てみすぼらしいタンクトップ姿で走っていく様はこちらも、父のようだったメインの腕やルーシーを救うために罠と知りつつサイバースケルトンを受け入れ、その発生させる反重力の補助がなければ立つこともできなくなった……あまりに多くを背負い縛られたデイヴィッドと対照的でもある。
共に何より大事なものを守るため……幾つもの願いを背負い受け入れ縛られ、それでも駆け抜け死んでいったことで栄光ある伝説ともなったデイヴィッド少年と。過去の未練と愛、栄光と力の喪失を受け入れ、屈辱や失意にまみれた中でもそれでも駆け続け生きることを選んだウィークおじさんの姿の対比は、そのまま前作と今作の対比のようでもある。

月球上的灰尘，只要沾上宇航服或者仪器，就死活擦不掉了。

你拿刷子去擦，它像金刚砂一样当场把镜头刮花；你拿气枪去吹，月球上连空气都没有，带压缩气体上去成本贵得吓人。
1972 年阿波罗 17 号任务结束，指令长尤金·塞尔南（Gene Cernan）脱下头盔，给美国宇航局留下一句极重的警告：
月球上所有机械、生理和物理问题人类都能克服，除了一样东西。
月尘。

为什么地球上的灰尘拍拍就掉，月球上的灰尘却像强力胶一样缠着人不放？
答案全在它的身世里。
地球上的泥土和沙子，被几十亿年的风吹雨打、河流冲刷，棱角早就被磨圆了，摸起来是滑的。
月球上可没有大气层，也没有一滴流动的水。
几十亿年里，成千上万颗陨石和微陨石，以每秒几十公里的速度疯狂轰击月面。
每一次剧烈的撞击，不仅把岩石砸碎，撞击瞬间产生的高温还会把岩石直接融化。
融化的岩浆在冰冷的真空里几乎瞬间冷却，凝固成无数极度锋利、边缘像碎玻璃一样的锯齿状碎屑。
随后，下一批微陨石呼啸而来，又把这些玻璃碎屑砸得更细、更多。
整座月球表面，覆盖的全是微米级、带着锋利刀刃的矿物微粒。
它们从来没有经历过一秒钟的风蚀或水蚀，每一颗微粒都长着倒钩般的毛刺。

长得凶狠只是它的一半问题。
这把灰尘还拥有两道让人头疼的吸附力。
第一道是纯粹的微观接触力。
这些微粒实在太细了，很多颗粒的直径只有几微米甚至几百纳米。
颗粒越小，表面积相对于质量的比例就大得惊人。
它一旦落在宇航服的纤维缝隙、机械关节或者镜头表面，无数锋利的微观刀刃就会直接卡进材料表面的凹凸纹理里，死死咬合住。
在微米尺度下，平时微弱的范德华力也开始起作用，像强力胶水一样把尘埃和接触面拉在一起。
这还不够，最诡异的第二道吸附力来自阳光和宇宙射线。
月球直接暴露在强烈的阳光和太阳风之下。
阳光里的紫外线照在月球朝阳面上，通过光电效应把尘埃表面的电子打飞，让整片月尘带上强烈的正电荷；
背阴面的等离子体，又会给尘埃注入负电荷。
整座月球表面的微尘，全被静电充得满满当当。
甚至不需要谁去碰它，光是昼夜交替带来的电场变化，就能让这些带电微尘在月面上腾空跳跃、四处飘散，像有了生命一样往所有带电或者中性的设备表面上扑过去。

当年阿波罗时期的宇航员被这把灰坑得苦不堪言。
宇航服的多层密封胶圈被月尘磨得漏气，金属拉链被彻底卡死，隔热板被糊上一层厚灰导致设备疯狂过热。
宇航员哈里森·施密特（Harrison Schmitt）在登月舱脱下头盔，悬浮在失重空气里的细小月尘钻进呼吸道，闻起来像烧焦的火药味，呛得他连续打了好几天喷嚏，眼睛充血流泪，这就是著名的月球花粉症。
更要命的是，如果你想用布擦掉镜头或者宇航服面罩上的灰，细碎的尖锐玻璃渣会直接在昂贵的光学涂层上划出一道道白痕，越擦磨损越厉害。

怎么破这个死局？
月球上没有水给你冲洗，运水上天的发射成本没人吃得消；
月球也没有空气给你吹，带高压气罐上去不仅占死宝贵的载荷，高压气流卷起锋利的微尘到处乱溅，还会变成微观子弹把旁边的太阳能电池板打得千疮百孔。
常规的机械清洗手段，在月球上全部宣告失效。
美国宇航局肯尼迪航天中心的科学家卡洛斯·卡莱（Carlos Calle）和他的团队，反过来盯上了这把灰尘的弱点：
既然月尘死死粘住表面，靠的是它身上的静电荷。
那为什么不用电场，把这把带电的灰尘直接扔出去？

这就是电动力学防尘罩（EDS）的由头。
整套设计非常精巧，上面没有一个活动的机械零件。
工程师在玻璃镜头、太阳能电池板或者散热器表面，嵌入一层肉眼几乎看不见的透明微型电极网，比如氧化铟锡（ITO）超细电极线。
这些电极彼此平行排列，宽度和间距只有几十微米。
当月尘落满表面的时候，只要给电极通上一组多相交流电，比如三相或四相交变电压。
相邻电极之间的电位差迅速交替变换，在表面激发出一种不断向前奔跑的非均匀电场，也就是行波电场。
神奇的物理过程出现了。
对于本身就带着静电荷的月尘微粒，变化的电场直接产生库仑力，把微粒向上猛推一下；
哪怕有些微尘本身不带净电荷，在极度不均匀的交变电场中，微粒内部的正负电荷也会被迅速极化，产生行波介电电泳力。
原本死死贴在玻璃上的微小玻璃碎屑，在电波的推动下，居然原地悬浮起来，顺着电场波浪一路跳跃、滑行，直接被甩出了表面边缘！

没有高压气枪，没有抹布，没有机械雨刷。
通电几秒钟，整块落满月尘的镜头就像抖包袱一样，自己恢复透亮。
这套技术在实验室里测试了多年，但地面上的模拟月尘和真空罐，跟真正的月球环境终究隔着一层纸。
它到底能不能在真正的月球上活下来？
答案在 2025 年彻底见分晓。
2025 年 1 月，萤火虫航天公司（Firefly Aerospace）的蓝幽灵一号（Blue Ghost Mission 1）着陆器搭乘猎鹰 9 号火箭升空，并在 3 月成功软着陆在月球危海盆地。
着陆器上搭载的一套关键有效载荷，就是美国宇航局的电动力学防尘罩。
在真实月球极端温差、太阳辐射和月尘扑面的严酷环境里，防尘罩顺利启动。
通电之后，它在没有消耗一滴水、没有喷出一口气的状态下，干净利落地清除了航天器玻璃表面和散热面板上的月壤碎屑。
困扰了人类半个多世纪的登月头号障碍，第一次找到了在物理上不伤设备、不占重量的优雅解法。

半个世纪前，阿波罗宇航员看着满身擦不掉的灰渣，无可奈何；
半个世纪后，工程师利用那把让灰尘附着的电荷本身，把棘手的吸附力变成了它自己跳下飞船的弹簧。
把让人头疼的特性反过来变成解法，工程上最漂亮的突破，往往就藏在这种物理反差里。

Except that the anti internet people in 1999 were right about literally everything and have been vindicated on every single point to a degree that surpasses even their own worst nightmares?

[Strong Peasantly @Phlogisticater]

@DenchiOjousama The well-attested phenomenon where people who have ended their own life acted happier and healthier shortly beforehand is fundamentally an attempt by them to escape their reality. If you see someone behaving that way you should ask if they need help with anything. Last chance to.

[Strong Peasantly @Phlogisticater]

@DenchiOjousama A sort of whiplash happens with people whose lives warrant ideation where 'during recovery' they finally believe life CAN BE better, but eventually the rubber has to meet the road and it's then when their limitations are no longer hypotheticals that they finally run out of rope.

I don’t know how much longer I can withstand this targeted torture on my psyche. Is every single person I interact with on a daily basis working for the government? I know the small-breasted clerk at the local secondhand bookstore is. I know for a fact she is. Because if she wasn’t working for the government, then why wouldn’t she have sex with me? I’ve done everything right. I’ve gone there every weekend and browsed casually before bringing my selection to the counter. I always buy the same book so she knows I’m consistent. I wear a white t-shirt tucked into jeans. I’ve always made sure to pay her a compliment. “If you were a novel I’d read you hard and slow” “Has anyone ever told you that you look like your tenderloins are perfectly marbled?” “You want that I should throw my fuck into you?” She always blushes and signals a reciprocated attraction. My weenie likey. I always tip 100% on the books, writing my number on the hundred dollar bill each time. It’s clear she can barely control herself around me. And yet not even five minutes ago as I was complimenting how biteable her tummy was she cut me off to tell me she has a boyfriend and isn’t interested. So you’re a traitor to your nation? How much are they paying you? I can read between the lines you stupid bitch. They’ve got you blackmailed. Let me guess, onlyfans? Let me guess, phone sex with an AI companion? How embarrassing. Alas, poor creature, what a grievous shame… the world hath dealt most cruelly with thee! And yet still thou dost stoutly deny those base and natural urges to couple with me. Forsooth, most impressive. I shall return soon. Goodbye bitch! The driver in front of me on the way home is doing 55 in the left lane with his blinker on. Another federal agent. They’re not going to break me

I cannot let a steam engine analogy go by without bringing up John Wilkinson, perhaps the most underappreciated engineer of the Industrial Revolution.

Watt had figured out how to dramatically improve the steam engine, but he spent years struggling to actually manufacture one. The problem was embarrassingly simple: nobody could make a sufficiently round cylinder.

The casting and machining tolerances were atrocious. Watt complained that one 18-inch cylinder was out of round by as much as THREE-EIGHTHS OF AN INCH. Steam leaked past the piston. He tried packing the gaps with cork, oiled rags, paper, and apparently even old hats. Nothing worked particularly well.

Enter John Wilkinson, a British ironmaster whose immediate concern was manufacturing better cannons.

At the time, iron cannons were commonly cast around a core, introducing defects and misalignment that could make the barrels inaccurate or dangerously weak. Wilkinson developed a process for boring cannons from solid castings, and in 1774 patented a vastly improved boring machine.

The key innovation was almost comically mechanical: a massive, rigid boring bar, supported at both ends, that could cut a genuinely straight, circular hole instead of following the irregularities of the casting.

He adapted this technology to Watt's cylinders. By 1776, Matthew Boulton was boasting that Wilkinson had bored a FIFTY-INCH cylinder accurate to within the thickness of an old shilling.

Suddenly, the steam engine was a commercially viable machine.

And the story gets better. Wilkinson became one of Watt's first customers, buying an engine to drive the blast machinery at his own ironworks. The steam engine was now helping manufacture the iron that made more steam engines possible.

I find this whole episode absolutely extraordinary. The Industrial Revolution was, for a critical period, bottlenecked on the ability to make a sufficiently round hole.

We remember Watt, and rightly so. We remember the invention of the steam engine and the subsequent development of thermodynamics. But the man who made the machinery that made the whole thing possible is practically a footnote.

I think we consistently underestimate how much of scientific progress is actually downstream of advances in tooling, measurement, and manufacturing precision. It's not just that technology precedes theory. Sometimes the decisive breakthrough is that someone finally figures out how to build the thing the theorists have been talking about for twenty years.

Anyway, I think John Wilkinson deserves considerably more credit for modern civilization than he gets.
