There you go

I posted this below, but I used to be able to whistle in a way to make a modem or fax handshake and connect. Couldn’t do any data, but I could make it connect.

My parlor trick back in the day was that when a call came in from a modem or fax, I could whistle in a way that it would connect. Couldn’t do anything past that, but it was fun.

Granted

Realized the King thing afterwards.

Yeah, it validated the theory.

That’s how it reads, but the intent was probably the reverse.

No, this study didn’t deal with dark matter, that’s not the missing matter they’re taking about. They’ve known that the ordinary matter in the galaxies only accounts for a small fraction of the matter in the universe, and there were theories about how much matter was in the space between galaxies. This study looked at radio waves being emitted by distant sources, and looked at how much those waves were defracted by pasted through matter, which corroborated that yes, there’s a lot of matter between galaxies.

Notice how so many christians will say that the problem with the world is a lack of emphasis on god (which is why we need prayer in school, etc.), but the vast majority of these murderers are conservative christians?

Is that what Republicans mean when they say “Think of the children?”

One interesting thing at my local one in southern California: several people were waving large state flags. Lots of American flags as well, but I thought the state flags were interesting.

Article updated to say that an appeals court has overturned that ruling, so Trump ca still control them for now, unfortunately.

Well, that’s bullshit. There are several groups of white, European immigrants that have non-trivial illegal populations, but none of those have been raided. Only black and Latino.

Plus it’s a horrible job. My dad was also a general contractor, and where we live is very hot and dry in the summer. I remember, as a kid, seeing roofers on top of a house in 100+ F heat, mopping hot tar; I thought that must be the worst job there was. When I got older and started working in aerospace, when my boss would say he needed someone to do some unfun task, I’d always volunteer because I’d be thinking, “this is so much better than mopping tar on a hot roof.”

During the Renaissance, there were certainly a lot of the weirdly adult baby Jesus paintings, but there were also realistic examples from the time (that one is Raphael, one of the great masters).

Made before Trump took office, right?

Well, yes to both. It’s also clearly drawn by hand - basically a cartoon.

It’s annual, so it’s just total deaths that year.

I believe it’s referring to the five people who died in 2023 in that submersible that was named “titanic.”

Remember that you should be interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you. Ask questions, not due the sake of asking them, but to find out if they’re a good fit for you (so the questions depend on what you care about). You might ask things like how many hours of OT a typical employee does, or what percent of turnover the area you’re interviewing for has typically experienced.

Otherwise, be professional but try to have a relaxed conversation as much as possible.
