Ignoring the question of whether you are OP'd or not, if you were in steel form and decided to fly or run anywhere near your topspeed, there would be wild physical side effects. You would vaporize yourself due to compression and friction from atmospheric density. Also, you would generate highly destructive shockwaves as well. Something to consider outside of the OP question.

    Amazon uses its tracking data to guess whether shoppers have a flat butt and no friends in c/technology@lemmy.world
    [–] 7 points 1 month ago*

    I have never had an amazon account or used amazon to buy anything. I will admit, there has been a couple of times it is annoying that I cannot find something or I may have to buy something that is more expensive. But it has been definitely worth it. Not just for the sake of privacy, but to not support that scumbag Bezos or the millions of knockoff chinese sellers trying to undercut mom and pop stores.

    This was a problem. We just acted to ban CFCs, which solved the problem. Now the ozone hole is recovering. I wouldn’t say it turned out not to be a problem though. The human race just had the brains and corporation to come together and deal with it.

    • Trump attacks datacenter backlash, claiming communities pushing back risk becoming ‘backwards and poor’ in c/LeopardsAteMyFace@lemmy.ca

    “Mr. President: Think about farm land and about water resources, and a man as intelligent as you will see that the absolute position you are taking is flawed,” one user wrote. “What use is being rich if you cannot get access to water and food?”

    Imagine saying “a man as intelligent as you” when talking about trump. Lol

    "God, you're hot" school board member Keith Ervin not removed from school board. (www.youtube.com)
     

    Half the school board thinks Keith deserves a third chance (that's right, not his first time making inappropriate comments to a child).

    They say only he can decide if he wants to step down. They did vote in favor of censuring him. The rest of the school board members that laughed during the comment and touching of a child faced no repercussion. Some even pretended to be offended during the emergency hearing.

    More bad news for the US science community (www.usatoday.com)
     

    NCAR is not only one of the leaders in climate science, but is an exceptionally important institution for space weather and upper atmosphere modeling. This will be an enormous loss for the scientific community. As someone in the atmospheric and space science community, this decision will have devastating consequences for decades to come.

    Working as a freelancer as a second job in Finland (lemmy.world)
     

    I have a question that I’m hoping someone will be able to help with. I plan on moving with my Finnish partner next year to Finland. I should have permanent residency upon arrival. I will already also have a full time position in Finland that will not be associated with my freelancing. However, I am hoping to do work as a freelancer as well. Specifically, I would like to continue bug bounty hunting. How does taxation work? I’m aware that I will have to pay taxes on any income made but my partner is concerned that I may have to pay social security regardless whether I earn additional income or not.

    So for example, if I make 10,000 euro over the course of the year doing freelance work, that will be added as a second job but on the same tax card right? And therefore my taxes will increase based on my overall income. Is this correct? And I also assume I would be required to pay social security on the secondary income.

    As a second example, if I make 0 euro over the course of the year, I understand that I would need to still declare the zero on my taxes, but would I be responsible for any additional taxes despite no additional income? Would some baseline threshold social security still apply?

    Sorry for the likely stupid question, but I want to understand what to expect and not get any surprises during tax season.

    Thanks to anyone who is able to help!
