There is a mismatch between The Matrix and the real life on which pill gets you ready for action.

Nah, that's just one of the security features to ensure you stay inside the Matrix...

@Gąska TIL (unrelated to your post) there might come to be a third unnecessary Matrix movie.
Not much is known other than it definitely won't be directed by the Wachoswki brothers anymore.

The blue pill and the red pill both treat the same problem, but in a different way.

@Gąska If the red pill functions opposite to the blue pill, I guess both Wachowskis took the red one

Genius idea: the vertical Hyperloop!
The problem with rockets is that the atmosphere is in the way, causing drag forces all the way up. So why not build a vertical cylinder that goes all the way past it? Then you can vacuum out the air inside and have a perfect "tunnel" for rockets to go through.
Heck, let the air in from the bottom as you launch it and it will actually push you the right way.
(space elevator? Never heard of it)

@anonymous234 Sure. It's only 100 kilometers. Maybe build a linear accelerator inside?

This is definitely WTF. A very minor WTF, but a WTF nonetheless.
Effectively I'm saying it's much smaller than a typical WTF, but no smaller than a typical WTF. This statement feels like it should be contradictory, yet I'm pretty sure it's actually all fine.

I don’t see how that’s either what you said or how it’s not contradictory. Your original statement seems fine, your pondering about it I don’t understand.

PREPOSITION
In spite of.‘notwithstanding the evidence, the consensus is that the jury will not reach a verdict’
postpositive ‘this small contretemps notwithstanding, they both had a good time’
hmm..... so nonetheless would be close to "This is a thing that is a thing, despite these other things that would seem to contradict it being a thing"
.... but then that's just be word searching the OED.
and it's not uncommon for English just to smash some words together into some compound word that means the same thing, though usually in my experience they are usually loan words that we borrowed as compound words and then for some inexplicable reason translated the words that made up the compound word.....
Like the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.
wait, no. that's just a really fun name to say.

- unusually small and low resolution images of regular people with anatomy? 3
1- This is normal, and can be provided if requested2- This is not normal, illegal, and if requested will be referred to the relevant authorities for remedial action
3- This is unusual, but not unexplainable if you grew up with dial up internet. This fetish can be accommodated if requested.@error_bot xkcd dialup fetish

Humuhumunukunukuapua'aOk, how many know what that is, without looking it up? And how many can pronounce it?
It's a fish — the state fish of Hawai'i. As you might guess, the name is Hawai'ian.Pronounce it? Hawai'ian pronunciation is actually simple (if you don't lose your place in the long word).
Consonants have their usual English pronunciation, except w, which is pronounced as in German. Vowels are all pronounced individually, and exactly as they are in most non-English European languages. Specifically, a is pronounced as in father, and u as English long u, but without any preceding y sound, or in other words like the words loot or moo. The character that looks like an apostrophe — I can't remember the name without looking it up; okina, or something like that — represents a glottal (?) stop, basically a really strong break between syllables.Thus, Humuhumunukunukuapua'a (it helps to notice that certain sequences are repeated):
hoo-moo - hoo-moo - noo-koo - noo-koo - a-poo-a/a
Simple.

The end makes it look Hawai'ian. Other than that, fuck knows.

Had no idea WTF it is before reading your explanation, but that is exactly how I’d have pronounced it.

It's a Hawaiian fish. Everyone knows that. ...don't they?

@error_bot !xkcd lucky 20000
