  • Me with a time machine:

    You must seek medical intervention! Take Aspirin! Get an MRI!

  • Was at an overtly political folk music bar show, felt very Whirling-In-Rags

  • uhh they didn't deploy satellites, that's done by launching large rockets. They deployed ground receivers.

  • Ode To Spot is good dammit!

  • Is the idea that replicators operate on the same fundamental principles as transporters? They seem very similar. Theoretically one could identically create any food, perhaps the fidelity of the replication is energetically/computationally limited.

  • That's very plausible to me I've just never seen the topic discussed with the modern scientific knowledge. Was the cause discovered relatively quickly, and that's why it stopped being reported on? Or was it just counteracted by CO2 driven warming?

  • I've heard "they used to think we were headed into another ice age!" a global warming denial talking point a few time and it's really fascinating to read historical reporting on the issue.

    A key point shown here is that they say they didn't know why the cooling was happening.

  • Ask the math department.

  • Bryan Quinby doing on-location research for navy guys

  • The replies to that are crazy.

  • Make sure you're prepared 😃👍

  • Bigfoot is actually related to the giants that built the pyramids.

  • Did the young Chomsky (of true anon) emotes get purged?

  • Gonna start putting movies on optical discs.

  • Wouldn't that cause massive inflation? Surely a large amount of currency is removed from circulation via taxation. Some of the inflation would likely be offset by an increase in Treasury bond purchases other nations.

  • Performance could be programmed in with motion capture and the robot does its best to follow the routine? Seems tough to manually animate that stuff. I also don't know shit about robots.

  • Can't recommend a model, but there are low profile units now that hang below the window, and probably ones that both cool and heat, but they're probably above your budget

  • Okay but do you think the means justify the ends?

    This was seriously asked of me once after saying I was, in practice, some form of consequentialist. I asked whether they'd meant to reverse the common phrase but they doubled down. I still don't get it. 🤷

  • Lol at Hercules and Xena on the front page today.

    About to burn lots of DVDs 🏴‍☠️

    When your traffic engineers just don't care.

    Less than 25 percent of Americans goon for more than ten minutes continuously in a typical week

    can confirm Hello Chinese is a great app

    Anyone else taught Young Earth Creationism growing up?

    It's really funny how many small US towns have just 1 (one!) street that's historic, walkable, and pulls in lots of tourist money
