why can’t I go back
You can in a way. But not by trying to live / experience what you already have.
That joy you felt was the feeling of experiencing something new for the first time. Want that feeling? Go out there and experience something new the first time. Make a habit of it.
and so many others online. there are so many very tight and close echo chambers, where people outright invent a new reality for themselves, and get angry, antagonistic towards actual reality
See: AntiVaxxers, NeoNazi’s, and Flat Earthers.
at least before social media these nutbars stayed isolated and alone and couldn’t get together and recruit / spread their messages easily.
You did a google search and just pasted the top link? which is a question about calculating the drag on a falling object.
But you clearly didn’t read the responses, which the first once directly states that the original question misses the premise that it is drag on an object from the atmosphere which causes the affect of different speed. This is the same arugment you made about terminal velocity. It’s the same point. Terminal velocity and the speed slow down of two different objects is still directly related to the atmosphere and it’s affect on an object.
Moreover, after terminal velocity is reached, the object no longer accelerates
While this is true, We circle back to the fact Terminal Velocity isn’t a measure or an affect of mavity but atmospheric influence on the falling object.
Earth Gravity is consistently pulling on the objects of difference mass at the same velocity. given zero resistances, both would hit the same speed.

They actually are. The Moon technically doesn’t orbit the earth, but a point near earth, that earth does as well. Its momentum that prevents the moon from crashing to earth, and it’s gravity that prevents it from flying off into space.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter_(astronomy)
Because the earth is so much more masive than the moon, the Barycenter of the gravity point is not the centre of the earth itself.
And another interesting fact: The moon’s momentum is slightly greater than that of the earth’s gravity, causing the moon to very very slowly move further away from Earth (About 3.7cm a year).
but it’s these momentums and gravitational forces that keep the moon orbiting (Orbital mechanics is fucking fascinating as fuck)
But what would happen if two bodies collided that are large? The force of impact would be the combined momentum of the two items as you believe. It is believed this is what actually formed our moon as early formation of the planets saw two planet sized bodies impact like you describe, the resulting force spun enough matter to form the moon (Mineral inspection of moon rock shows it contains the same isotopes as earth, which is rare if the moon formed on it’s own).
pint to remember; A bodies gravitational force is based on it’s mass. Larger mass items have more gravitational force. Because fo that, While gravity is 9.85m/s on earth, it would be different on every piece of matter. Even a single atom has it’s own gravity force, albeit very low. Your “gravity” force on the moon is not 9.85 but a speed based on it’s own mass. This is why you would be “heavier” on earth than say the moon or mars, despite your mass not changing. the planetary body mass affects gravity.
ANOTHER fun fact. Gravity and mass affects time as well. Objects closer to a center of mass operate slower than those further away. Satellites for example actually move faster in time than we do on earth. GPS for example overcame this by programming to check real earth time frequently.
no. Gravity is consistently pulling at 9.85m/s regardless of the size or density in an object.
Terminal velocity is reference to the air resistance and buoyancy affect on an object in freefall. This has nothing to do with the mass or size of the object, but it’s air resistance.

Gravity is (mostly) consistent across the planet and will always pull the same force regardless of the object in question.
probably just a flatpack issue. I don’t bother using flatpack at all and still have not ran into anything that truly needs it (From a gaming use at least)
Once I got the steam deck and saw basically all my games could run in linux, I made the change fully on my laptops and desktop computers.
There’s not a single windows left in my house.
I’m a former IT Manager and system admin. And I am so fucking frustrated and pissed at Microsoft’s bullshit that I want nothing to do with them, and nothing of theirs in my house.
I cannot believe I’m going to say this: But from and enterprise point of view, I Miss Balmer. Nadella is a fucking useless wannabe Steve Jobs tool who has zero concept of what made Microsoft what it is. There’s horror stories of dealing with Microsoft on a corporate level that attributed to me having a mental breakdown.
“Bad memory”. tpsh. That memory exceeded it’s mandate by 41 years. That memory is tired. it needed rest. It’s ready to collect it’s retirement pension.
I don’t know, but why are we judging Bob for the fruit he likes?
Loved BG3. but it was the hit it was because it was done by people who love the D&D world and didn’t attempt to live up to any specific monetary goals, nor did it rush out to try and beat some arbitrary deadline. it was done in the old style of development, by a relatively small team over long periods of time to showcase their labour of love.
given the history of D&D the company itself and it’s more recent copyright monetization and attacking the playerbase for profit, I cannot see them pumping out other games that are anywhere CLOSE to what Larian produced.
Wee’re going to get a whole lot of bullshit shovelware trying to ride BG3’s excellence.
this is why we can’t have nice things :(
I made it through until Win11 announced (Had to because of work). Once 11 was announced I just said fuck it, and have been Linux since.
I no longer have any computers in my house running windows except a 10 year old Laptop that is available for the really weird and off windows requirements (like ESPHome programming)
