Not all instances/clients show those display names. I’m on kbin.earth and it doesn’t, I just see the underlying account name. It sounds like you’re seeing the same. But if I go look at Wheelchar’s profile on lemmy.world, which is their instance, it shows both “WheelchairArtist” and “@WheelcharArtist”

I don’t know what the actual terminology here is. The display name is “WheelchairArtist” but the underlying account name - the one that shows up in the URL if you go to their profile - is missing the i. I have no idea if that’s a typo on account creation or something intentional.

She’s no Goldmask though. I want to get me a man that can T-pose on reality until he figures out how to prove god wrong

The research paper documents how the team’s fabricated cell achieved a power conversion efficiency of over 25% after optimizing oxygen vacancy defects within the tin oxide layer. The cell also demonstrated superior stability compared to traditional perovskite solar cells, as it retained over 95% of its efficiency after 2,000 hours of continuous operation under rigorous test conditions.

Strictly speaking it’s “only” aged 51 years, these were released in 1999

I assume you’ve tripped up on your measurements somewhere, because 4 ml would be a very sad dram. A spirit measure in the UK is 25 ml, so you get 28 of those out of a 700 ml bottle for $7,000 at that bar.

Edit: upon looking it up, apparently a dram actually is 4 ml in America? In Scotland that’s just the word for a glass of whisky, assumed to be an approximate “one drink” rather than an actual specification of volume. If you offered someone a dram and poured them 4 ml here, they’d think you were the stingiest person since Ebenezer Scrooge

However bars mark drinks up like mad, and they will absolutely do so on extremely premium drinks because the only people buying those are people who do not care how much it costs. If you take $3 for a shot of a basic vodka, that’s $84 for the bottle, and there’s absolutely no way you’d pay $84 for that same bottle in a supermarket.

You definitely could spend seven grand on a 40 year old bottle of whisky if you went looking for one. This specific bottle is 51 years, but it’s commanding this price because it’s a very rare special edition from a big and popular distillery

None of the Anglosphere currencies would make this anything other than the price of a car anyway. This is absolutely just a collector’s item for those with more money than sense, never expected to be actually drunk

Maybe that’s why I misremembered it. I agree, it does seem like the exact opposite to what scientists actually do upon finding something they can’t explain

Ahh my mistake

Bunch of dickheads apparently feeling attacked in these comments

Wasn’t the whole thing about the scientists in the Three Body Problem that they recognised that their work was being sabotaged by something enormously more powerful?

Wait, people actually avoid Australia because of it? I mean, I do think of Australian wildlife as dangerous, but to me that means “don’t fuck about” rather than “don’t go at all”. And I live in the UK, where we killed everything that was even slightly dangerous to humans long ago

Please don’t do this to my wallet
