Just your average urban druid interested in technology and quantum field theory.
That’s sure to help them! /s
Etiquette expects that when you do a nice thing for someone you gain nothing more than a “Thank you” in return.
You can’t do “Pay-it-forward” as that places a burden on the recipient and your ‘gift given freely’ then becomes a task to them. Which is no gift at all!
I’ve licked the frog twice! How many does it take?
If your parents are struggling to make ends meet at 77 then continue pressing the point and let them know why.
If they’re not let to go.
You’re good with tech and know they can save some money. If they don’t care about tech, and aren’t hurting for money, you’re just being annoying.
Had the same convo with my mom. That’s where the annoying line came from! She likes what she has and can afford it.
Now my sister ima boot in the head because she cancelled my mom’s landline for a cheaper cell plan. So now, oh…about 80% of the time I try to call mom her phone rings right into voicemail because she forgot to plug it in!
I wish more people would realize this! We’re years away from a truly reasoning computer.
Right now it’s all mimicry. Mimicry that hallucinates no less…
Nuke it from orbit! It’s they only way to be sure…
Be safe my internet friendly stranger!
She stated that since someone on Truth Social posted an AI-generated image of her endorsing Trump she felt she must set the record straight.
She wrote why she’s voting for Kamala. She then encouraged her fans to research the candidates and decide for themselves which one best represented their own viewpoints.
I did like her reminder that if you’re a new voter you do need to register first!
But at no point did she tell anyone who to vote for…
How would that support “First Sale Doctrine”?
What’s going on with PBCs!? Over on the other side of the slab the younger generation loves the game and the older set hate the noise.
So…same ol’ same ol’, “Just say shit to keep my name on the front page”?
Donald J. Trump is weird and creepy. He’s like a zit the you pop and it just keeps coming back, except this one’s got wispy orange hair sprouting out of it.
Edit: I’ve no doubt he’ll do it, but I remember a time when evil people didn’t just announce to the world their plans in advance.
Your answer was concise and succinct, for such a complicated topic. Thank you!
Put on some headphones and de-stress to a seamlessly looped track of walking in the rain. No footsteps, music, etc. Just a stereo mic moving through an environment capturing exquisite aural details.
My very first thought was, “Is this guys tweet quoting an Onion article?”
If I saw that IRL I’d suddenly have something to do inside. Taxes, maybe a root canal…
It’s that t-229 can have its nucleus excited using far less energy than regular atomic clock nuclei.
That leads to ultra precise excitation using wavelengths that cancel out some of the fundamental forces within the atom.
That leads to us being able to monitor at a trillion to one ratio those forces based, in part, on mathematical ‘constants.’ In the excited state we can measure if there’s even the smallest variance in force, which in turn may mean that some ‘constants,’ aren’t.
However the real testing of that is in the future as they estimate that a 10 trillion to one ratio is needed.
Theory described a door, research defined the door and possibly what’s behind it, and experimentation just opened the door.

Lightning Bolt: PC!
Drugs: Never mentioned. There were anti-drug ads on TV 24/7.
Sex: Never mentioned. Well, by the time they got around to having “the talk” we asked them if they needed to know anything. Mom laughed, dad looked embarrassed, and that was that.
