There’s a lot of nuance in science that is ignored at non-upper-level university courses. We teach models that work for most cases, and each level deeper simply “lies” a little less, if that’s how we choose to describe what’s being taught. For 99.9% of uses, the simplest models are sufficient.

Ah, yes. I can’t speak to the intent of the meme. Not that you specifically asked me, personally, in the first place. Sorry, I’m of no help there, but if I were to guess, I’d say it’s a Jerry Seinfeld “what’s up with that” attempt at humor.

Regarding the spelling, well now, that’s just equal parts hilarious and sad.

I’m not a fan of this guy, but let’s give credit where it’s due. The article headline is trying to rile us up for clicks. It took his comments about “building bridges to bring both sides together” and accused him of encouraging acceptance of homophobes. Aren’t there plenty of bigots out there to fight without twisting “building bridges” into “accepting homophobes?” Aren’t we better than this?

ClanOfTheOcho ,

Btw, thank you for creating. It makes my world a little nicer experiencing new art.

Excellent news! Leaf, Bolt, 500e, Cooper SE

I thought the exact same thing! At the time, I’d heard rumors that the entirety of USSR’s air defense was smoke and mirrors. This isn’t helping to refute those decades old rumors, if there is anything to refute.

Times change a few years later, but I wouldn’t bank on that non-escalation theory here.

I noticed my mental health was having serious issues due to climate issues and had to step away. I keep tabs somewhat, try to do what little I can, and hope somehow things will turn around. Years ago, I didn’t see any way we would see our way safely through the Cold War, and then out of nowhere it was over. I see no way out of climate disaster, but hope somehow out of nowhere a solution will present itself for this one, too. That’s the hope I hang on to, and it helps me.

I nearly missed seeing the guy standing on the wing. That is a large sculpture.

Then again, with that same theory, he could just eliminate Congress altogether before the voting starts for impeachment. Or place specific justices on house arrest before they vote. Basically, the idiotic idea of a president not beholden to laws is mostly the same as a despotism if the “president” wishes it to be.

Audit says Arkansas governor's office potentially violated laws with $19,000 lectern purchase (apnews.com)

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders ’ office potentially violated state laws on purchasing, state property and government records when it purchased a $19,000 lectern for the Republican governor that’s prompted nationwide attention, an audit requested by lawmakers said Monday....

Best I can do is $7.50. Act now, and I’ll throw in a pack of gum to seal the deal.

ClanOfTheOcho ,

Steal a $19,000 lectern? Nah, bro.

Steal $19,000 through buying overpriced office equipment with company funds from a friend who takes you on a fine Parisean experience with the profits? Yeah, boy!

I love the autotldr bot, but I’m glad I clicked through on this one. This guy was the sort of hero I’ve hoped existed in the modern world, not just history books. The article does include a photo his wife took of his torture bruises, so be warned (I don’t consider it particularly graphic, but I am not you).

ClanOfTheOcho ,

Same. Upvote if I think it’s important for others to see.

Isn’t there normally a restriction from executives selling stock for a period of time after an IPO?

A warming island's mice are breeding out of control and eating seabirds. An extermination is planned (apnews.com)

Mass extermination, from the sounds of it.

I mean, if they pull it off, I’ll be impressed, but it seems like the “why?” is something they should answer before this project is undertaken. Sure, it could be used to power a moon base or something else, but I would expect that need for a power source to be the lead, not the power source. And if they don’t really know why yet – it’s an extremely expensive solution looking for a problem.

ClanOfTheOcho ,

It’s a paraphrase from a Patton quote. I don’t have the exact quote readily available, but the gist is, “The objective of war isn’t to die for one’s country, but to make some other poor bastard die for his.”

A brave man. I wish more would be like him, or at least listen to him and consider what he’s saying.

Agreed. Narrator does sound like Ren.

How much did it cost?

ClanOfTheOcho ,

But if it truly is superior, won’t I as a consumer favor those recordings with spatial whatever it is by listening to them more, thereby encouraging the producers with more money because of the increased streaming over the others? Surely making such recordings a favored class where payments are concerned is just a form of double dipping?

I love those. They’re underrated. Crackle is pretty nice, too.

Iirc, it all started with a misprint for a phone-Santa promotion that accidentally used a number at NORAD.

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Dropkick Murphys’ The Season’s Upon Us yet.

“We just learned” is a bit of a stretch. Here is a Medium post from 2020, which cites previous interviews and Jon Ronson’s 2015 book “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed,” that explains the problems with the infamous experiment: medium.com/…/have-we-gotten-the-stanford-prison-e…

    That’s a great solution to win an election if it were easy to find a golden candidate that people like and can’t be portrayed as less than ideal by the other side. Right now, I’ll happily settle and vote for less than perfect if that candidate is the only one not courting fascism. And I certainly won’t go throwing my vote to someone else just because the only guy standing between democracy and tyranny isn’t checking all my boxes. No, sir. Democracy is too important to throw away just because “I don’t love one candidate and actively fear the other, so I just won’t bother.” Democracy is my single-issue this election. Get out and vote, because this time, democracy is cracking, and it is at risk of collapse to fascism.

    Hmmm, how on earth is it possible for you to have replied to 26 different posts in the last 60 minutes, across multiple articles, many with multiple paragraphs. Fastest typer in the world?

    ClanOfTheOcho ,

    It isn’t so much the volume of typing, it’s the typing a thought-out answer to all those various articles and responses that seems curious. I type at a pretty fast rate, myself, but I don’t consider someone else’s comments and think up (and then type) fact based replies in that timeframe. My comment about typing speed was more me implying that a 3-day-old account that is responding that quickly to that many people on so many subjects in such a short amount of time – well, it walks and quacks like a bot.

    ClanOfTheOcho ,

    I’ve heard the Wheel of Time stuff is pretty good. Piers Anthony’s Xanth novels were popular long ago, but he has sort of disappeared (I just looked him up, and he’s probably just retired). I’ve personally read the Black Cauldron books and enjoyed them quite a bit. Robert Aspirin’s Myth books can be fun. Hopefully there is something new to you in that list!

    ClanOfTheOcho ,

    I’ve heard you can just email one of the authors of the paper, if you’re looking for a specific one.

    ClanOfTheOcho ,

    You’re basically correct, in this case. I’ve chosen my official “side” as that of humanity. I’m not fully certain what that means other than I feel for the protestors/people of both sides and don’t want bad things to happen to either. The governments directly involved here, such as they are, are in the business of revenge and power. The people in general are being played by their governments, pawns to be sacrificed or otherwise used to further the purpose.

    Hurricanes could, and did, wipe out entire communities. It’s easy to forget how important the study of meteorology is, as well as how vital modern weather satellites are, in keeping people safe.

    As someone who doesn’t own a Roku, is there an app that is available through the Play store to stream these? Or is it a Roku-only thing?

    Oh, I had one of these! It was amazing, until it stopped working. Sad day.

    Woman's escape from cinder block cell likely spared others from similar nightmare, FBI says (apnews.com)

    A woman who escaped her kidnapper by punching her way out of a homemade cinder block cell at a home in southern Oregon likely saved other women from a similar fate, authorities said, by alerting them to a man they now suspect in sexual assaults in at least four more states.

    ClanOfTheOcho ,

    I heard that the woman was taken from Washington, held in the cell in Oregon, and the guy was arrested with his family in Reno. I don’t know any details, but figured there was something more to the logistics that weren’t being reported.

    I shouldn’t feed the trolls…

    I suppose the better question is, what did he do right?

    • Taunted Twitter CEO, culminating in what constituted a valid offer to purchase at a very inflated price
    • Tried to back out of his legally made offer
    • Fired the vast majority of staff that knew how to run the site
    • Fired all of the staff in charge of ethics
    • Stopped paying rent and other bills, despite having used the location/services
    • Demanded employees devote their non-sleeping lives to the company
    • Ignored all his other companies, from which he continues to draw paychecks (ok, maybe ignoring them is for their best interest)
    • Failed to pay promised severance
    • Change algorithm to promote his voice above all other
    • Rebrand off of one of the most recognizable names and logos in the world

    And these are the ones just off the top of my head.

    That’s an interesting thought. I hadn’t considered that as an option.
