Nope. News and social media thrive on extremes. Most Americans agree on the issue he mentioned.

Taxing billionaires

Universal healthcare

Ending wars

Climate crisis

I was posting about these kind proton pricing shenanigans months ago and no one was listening.

Bro literally just listed the centrist platform and labeled it “radical left” lol

It’s pretty jarring, but they do a brilliant job of the Star Trek thing of making the monster/enemy race humanized by the run of the series. I went from hating the rework to appreciating it on its own merits by the end.

Leonhard Euler I think is not as well known in the general public

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is pretty much unknown enough that I felt the need to make his name a link.

It’s an event on a long enough timeline.

(Not sure if its a person, I don’t watch wrestling.)

More of this.

Does that include like building the hoover dam or what?

Newton’s work in optics → refraction and better lenses → the microscope →germ theory →vaccines.

Well, he couldn’t have known that, but fascinating that he was inadvertently helping to solve disease. Just a few centuries ahead of being useful.

Ironically, there’s a phrase for someone who’s so old and out of touch that they might as well be on death’s doorstep:

“Don’t buy green bananas.”

(In the South it’s often used in a self deprecating way: “let’s just say I don’t buy green bananas.”)

Lego Star Trek

It’d be great if any part of that were testable.

We have no idea what consciousness is.

Literally. It’s something that we all experience, but there is no scientific definition, measure, or framework to study it.

We assume it is a function of our brains, but we could be wrong. Are intelligent birds, apes, and dolphins conscious? What about lizards? Flatworms? Trees? Yeast?

If you want to go down that rabbit hole, search “what’s it like to be a bat?” or “the hard problem.”

Back then it was “raid: shadow news”

What on Earth was every the intended use of this feature? I just can’t think of any way to use it other than vandalism and misinformation.

My exact setup after trying a lot of different configurations.

Go through it. Never return. Become ungovernable.

Basically, the article says “Windows is doing fine. Microsoft even told us. Also, no one uses AI bots on Windows.”

Whatever they want

Can they wear a spacesuit and shoot a ray gun?
