The universe has no obligation to conform to our intuitions. The current best theories are weird, yes, but they're what best explain the evidence and have been verified by our best science and engineering to an absolutely stupid degree of precision.

Looks like he was acting like a shithead, threw some kind of a fit, and damaged his hotel room.

Edit: Nm I fail reading comprehension.

Probably just this. I was listening to Bezos on Lex Fridman's podcast and I'm pretty sure he said he's going to stop throwing infinite money at Blue Origin.

Oh bullshit. It's where Cthulhu lies sleeping.

It's the projection. Antarctica is half the area of North America and less than a third of Asia.

High-impact activities, too. My wife tried to take part in an osteoporosis study and was thrown out because her bone density was off the scale from 20 years of falls in judo and jiu jitsu. Gymnasts get this, too, if they eat enough.

Fuck you all for making me look this up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglosphere

Ultimately it means you have bad moisture control in the soil which will lead to the decay of the concrete, but maybe not over the timescale of your lifespan. I've got some in my crawlspace because the previous owners installed sprinklers too close to the foundation. Not a major problem in my...

Sounds like efflorescence. Pretty standard if you have wetness up against concrete.

I don't get these. Are we not supposed to notice that it's game engine clips?

Or if that presence is by a non-governmental entity like SpaceX. Musk is highly likely to plant a flag on Mars and tell anyone that if they disagree they can spend 20 years and $$Billions developing their own transit platform and come at him.

Even before that I prefer proper grading and drainage so your basement doesn't flood.

Airgap outlets for the sump pump so the interior pipes don't back up and freeze.

Despite fears of communism, estate taxes are about the lowest they've been in 100 years and half of what they were 1940-70. The exemption threshold is up 20x since the 90's. Leftist noises aside, the functional trend is in the opposite direction. I'll start worrying about my wealth when it isn't...

You still won't be middle class when they lower the exemption threshold, and I'm sure will be able to use trusts to get around inheritance tax like the rich have been doing forever. Hell, I have a trust set up for my wife and kids. Everyone should.

Good news is if you're hiding 13M in gold to keep the other 13M of your estate tax-free, you're not middle class.

You've got to be more cynical than that. Both the numbers and public justifications are massaged together in service of the monetary policy they find necessary. 100% they've got access to and look at the "real" labor numbers we all complain about.

More nightmare fuel.

They're trying to leverage the channel's reach in order to have their scam videos promoted by the algorithm and hope they can snag a few suckers. https://www.wired.com/story/youtube-bitcoin-scam-account-hijacking-google-phishing/ I'm surprised Mattias wasn't using 2FA given his tech background...

This sucks. His main channel is now converted to crypto scam shit.

Worse. Twitch. (I had to look it up.)

Looks like speed bump successes to me. Unrelated:

Don't see why not. The Japanese are well known for their embrace of other ethnicities, especially back then.

The Italians are fucking nuts.

A stick of butter per 3 eggs goes a long way, too.

I've watched my wife's career enough that I know it's completely naive to say there's no workplace discrimination anywhere, but I personally know a bunch of VCs from my MBA network and those guys are the most colorblind people I know because the only things they see are numbers and dollar signs...

My dad was backpacking in Alaska in the 70's and saw someone driving a Miata in an accident like that. Hit a bull moose and swept out its legs. Moose crushed the car, rolled over the driver killing them, landed in the back seat, and walked away. Moose are fucking big:

75% odds it's done by someone fucking with people for the lulz and no intention of keeping the money.

Did they do any optimization for this release? Performance was pretty godawful during the public test.

Bit late to the party, but Latin adjectives typically come after the noun they modify. The latter is an appropriate translation in English, since we do it the other way.

Watch the end.

I've done jiu jitsu for 15 years. That guy is fucking clueless and is acting like a glorified grappling dummy. The girl is good and high-energy for a novice, but this video isn't a poster case for anything other than leggings. Edit: Apparently that girl is a black belt? She's not very good in...

Exactly. "Market value" is a real thing, but you and your preferences are not the average market. The price you pay vs market value is not the only axis for evaluating whether a deal is good for you as an individual.

My uncle's sailboat had a plaque in the galley that read, "A boat is a hole in the ocean, into which you throw money."

Wii and Switch are basically flawless these days.

The point is not conservation of bath tissue, it's a squeaky-clean butthole. $15
