MicroWhat?

I find myself bemused, if that is the right word. If one looks my bio and top post, one quickly finds out that I'm female and am engaged to be married. Yet I keep getting followed by women with porn accounts.

I'm not going to slut or kink shame. If somebody is that comfortable posting naked pictures of herself, I'm not to question that. She's an adult, I'm an adult, everybody involved is consenting and it's all good.

But is something making them think I'm looking for photos of naked women?

If we're just looking at people who do soft core or erotic shots, and want to know more about math or read a few stories, that's cool. Maybe I'm reading too much into this.

But I'd hate to think that there was an assumption that all Feminists had to be Lesbians floating around.

If so, that's a bad assumption and it's going to lead to awkward situations. Being a feminist just means that I expect to be taken seriously as an adult. Being a radical feminist means that I'm not going to be patient with those who disappoint me in this matter.

It has nothing to with hating men, or wanting to avoid them. Neither does being a Lesbian, for that matter, but if I can get somebody to abandon one absurdly off-base stereotype, today, I'll count that as a win.

One takes one's victories where one can.

For the benefit of that guy (*), yes, I'm being sarcastic.

Taxing social security was a warped thing to do. Nobody should be defending that, or Washington's love of stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Are you saying that, as our elders dig into the dog food that they've been reduced to eating, that you don't love love love the idea that the government will be there to take away some of their dog food more or less at gunpoint, to help pay for some CEO's 23rd yacht?

You must hate America!

There are going to be cracks in the ice. If one is sending something like a sonar ping through there, what happens to the ping when it hits the interface between the ice and the water that has flowed up through a crack in the ice - a crack the moves as the surface flexes.

Ice that's cracking and moving, in response to massive tidal forces. Try running a fiber optic cable through there, and the thing is probably going to get sheared. At best, I would expect the ice flow to introduce defects into the material, causing light to scatter, and ruining the cable.

Grok didn't get it, at all. From the surface to the orbiter, and from the orbiter to Earth aren't huge issues. Probes have done that before, and the signal's going through a vacuum in either case.

The problem is that the ocean inside of Europa is separate from the surface by miles worth of ice.

Not saying it's impossible, just wondering what the thoughts on the subject are.

So, the little robots find their way back to a transmitter, when they have data to send back to Earth?

Wondering how they'll get the data through the icy crust.
