Oh Dec 4th, Universal Healthcare Day? One of my fav holidays.

Great call! Completely forgot about batteries and potato power sources!

This writeup is such an interesting perspective of social media.

It’s the medium for the human hive mind. It’s civilization’s consciousness. It’s beyond any individual’s control or comprehension, and it exists for advertising…

Gotta be the Scops for me, bro.

Does this mean go out and buy toilet paper?

Honestly, fantastic explanation!

Hydro, wind, solar, and wave/tide energy capture are not.

The crazy part is photovoltaics are the only power source that doesn’t spin something to make electricity. Truly an outlier.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. I was under the impression that according to official canon Isildur was traveling to seek Elrond’s council on what to do with the one ring when he was ambushed and killed and the ring lost.

Edit: I’ll correct myself, I was wrong. He was on his way to Rivendel, but not to consult with Elrond about the ring. He was going to pick up his wife who stayed there during the assault on Mordor.

The middle class is a term that is so nebulous it might as well be meaningless. Families making 60k/year and families making 300k a year both consider themselves middle class and those are very different lifestyle qualities.

Who is the author? What is the book?

Touching me… Touching you!!!

Sorry to be that guy, but Pioneer 10 and 11 were the first. They stopped communicating in the early 2000s though, so the Voyagers are the only ones still providing scientific data about the heliosphere.

The next generation of learning celebrities are already here. I don’t think they will be the same as those in the past though. Video sites allow far more niche versions of these great educators who don’t need to work on getting TV contracts to spread their enthusiasm for their subjects. I doubt future generations will have singular celebrity educators, but a wide array of them that all get to add their own creative touch to learning.

I’m very excited about it.

Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown) for example will change future generations’ relationship with learning math. We haven’t have a celebrity math educator before!

Enjoy signing up for 21st century slavery in prison!

Solid comic!

I grow crystals all day. I have a cool idea for a video game so I’ve been learning Godot recently too.

What does this mean? Cameras? Machines that can identify things via images?

This honestly reads like a bad commercial you’d hear on the radio.

I have to disagree, It is 100% accurate. The change will not make non-billionaire lives any better, but there is definitely change from the status quo. There are huge shifts with the cabinet appointments already away from qualified “Washington Insiders” to unqualified “Trump Loyalists”. That is a huge change from the status quo. Even during the first Trump admin he appointed mostly qualified career politicians. This is different, as promised. It won’t be better…

I know what you’re getting at, but people who voted for her are by definition people who thought she was worth voting for. When all is said and done, that is the metric that mattered.

If you voted for Harris this past election cycle her campaign either spent the right amount or too much time catering to you… From a game theory perspective.

The campaign connected just fine with the college educated working class. It didn’t connect with the highschool or less education working class. IMO it seems the big party divide today is higher education.

Working class should refer to people whose income is primarily derived from selling their labor vs the value of their assets.

We need to start using the term working class correctly.
