I don’t know if this is a decent source, but at least it’s context.

You’re right. Not sure why you’d be down voted, other than if people found your conclusion a bit heavy.

For physics enthusiasts, I’d also suggest “floatheadphysics” for his depictions and sometimes cathartic presentation style. I love how he broke down special relativity in an easily understood way.

Then I’ve also really been enjoying “For The Love of Physics” for his style of showing some of the math. His style is more of a classroom presentation, but in a way that reminds me of my most effective professors that made their lessons as easy to consume as mac and cheese.

I’m inclined to hit some online courses someday, too, but, for now, these have been great for conceptual stuff and my curiosity vs. time balance.

“Abesede” is getting too close to “obesity”, but I think “Absedee” works. But yeah, people need to stop trying to use letters and symbols to replace the phonemes of that letter’s name.

Duolingo? Mine still has dark mode. Maybe just for subscriptions?

Dirt!

I was just recommended a product called “Milorganite”, which is a soil product out of Milwaukee. They apparently ship it all over the US. People in, say, Florida are buying soil from Wisconsin.

There is just something really amazing about being able to communicate directly between two points on the planet by bouncing EM waves off layers of the atmosphere. Like, imagine two people hundreds of miles apart are shining flashlights (or torches, if you prefer) at the distant sky, just above the horizon, and seeing the sky glow from each other’s beams signaling each other. At the right frequencies and with the right conditions, certain atmospheric layer boundaries become reflective, like the boundary between air and water, so imagine that distant sky looks a little glossy up there, like water’s surface reflecting your beam.

But then run that light source through a machine that does that flickering signal fast enough to encode your voice in the pattern of flickering that’s glowing in the sky over someone else’s horizon.

That’s pretty closely analogous to what amateur (“ham”) radio operators are doing when they play with the HF range of the radio spectrum. The electronics are less sophisticated than cell phones, but our usual gadgets rely on many other devices to relay info across the Internet (which is also amazing, in a different way). Ham radio, on the other hand, is like a fancy version of talking through two cans on a string, sometimes up to thousands of miles apart, but using fast flash lights instead of string and cans.

Username checks out.

The inherent problem with that is how few there are. Don’t get me wrong–yes, let’s do that, too.

I reported a comment for basically saying that men are the only violent sex, and they temp-banned me for abusing the reporting system. The explanation message (canned, I’m sure) said that abusively reporting people is a form of harassment or bullying, or something like that.

Eat shit reddit, and fuck spez.

edit: Based on my experience and what others are saying, I have to wonder, were they trying to burn it down from the inside?

He did see Montana! 🤯

Oh, yeah, that was terrible quality, sorry. I updated it with the caption.

Generally, you’re totally on point, but I just wanted to drill into that mention about hotkeys for switching windows. You mean something other than alt+tab, ctrl+tab, and in some applications shift+brackets?

One of us!

Rest of world dismayed by Trump’s return to office.

I totally smirched him in the parking lot.

I think you meant to write “anything”, but I have to laugh anf think this could be another internet moment like what started “Karen” or “Chad” or “Stan”.

It seems obvious to me now.

Many US states are now requiring age verification for adult sites. VPN companies will benefit if that requirement expands. The Republican party’s pearl-clutching politics are what can make that happen.
