half the year it feels like my feet have been stabbed because they get so cold (slippers are not enough)

Get some down booties. It’s like your feet are cocooned in a loving embrace of warmth and comfort.

I could use an 8k 42” OLED monitor for work. I’d need a 130” TV for 8k to be noticeable given the distance I sit from the TV.

There’s not really any data other than a rough distance from its star. The atmosphere could be thick enough and with the right combination of greenhouse gases that the temperature at the equator is 23°C year round. We do know that it’s only receiving ~30% of the energy from its star as earth does from the sun, which is what they’re basing the low temperature estimates on.

People should do this ICE monitoring with swarms of FPV drones. That would really drive them crazy, plus you could stay a safe distance away.

It’s really not that hard to create a highly contagious flu with a 50% IFR. Just do the initial release around people likely to interact with the inner circle and you’d wipe most of the old ones out. Plus once it got out you’d be eliminating anti-science people at a 5 or 10:1 ratio, improving the future prospects for the planet as a whole. Some really angry molecular biologist who got fired by RFK Jr. could do it for $50k in a limited space.

7.2 g acceleration. You could strap a human on there and they’d survive the acceleration phase.

30 minutes with a book is a great way to wind down before sleep. Although you may get addicted to pre-sleep book reading.

They got 5,000 chargers, not really scammed, although you can get larger volumes for less. If you take a full lung-full from a balloon and hold it, it’s like flipping a switch that shuts your brain off for a few seconds. As you come back, it feels like your brain is booting up as reality slowly reconstitutes. I never found it particularly pleasant and something about the nature of the experience made me feel it was unhealthy.

Among desktops, Linux already has roughly the same market share as macOS.

I was getting that with referrer spoofing enabled in uMatrix. There seems to have been a surge in sites breaking when that’s enabled.

It would be of great scientific value if we could study how Fetterman shifts further rightward with incremental increases in brain damage.

Neither de-age nor wear clothes

Bill Gates said too many resources are going toward climate change instead of issues like welfare and poverty…

In the letter, Gates called out the “doomsday view” of climate change and said leaders need to make a “strategic pivot” to focus on issues that have the “greatest impact on human welfare.”

“It’s the best way to ensure that everyone gets a chance to live a healthy and productive life no matter where they’re born, and no matter what kind of climate they’re born into,” he wrote.

The “generative AI” part of the headline is not particularly relevant to the article, but is a great test to see who reads the article before rushing to comment.

That’s the subheading. The body of the article says;

More than ten people per day in the United States suffer amputation injuries using table saws, meaning the rule had the potential to save upward of four thousand fingers and over $2 billion in health care and other costs a year.

I just finished watching this and thought it was quite good. It takes place during the early 90s, so it’s just a couple people who happen to be gay in a platoon of straight men. It painted the Marine boot camp experience as a relatively positive experience, so much so that it’s surprising the Pentagon is bashing it.

The spire/antenna on the right panting is crooked, the one on the left is straight. I think the joke is in the slightly better quality.

Your brain actually washes itself while you sleep, it just doesn’t consider Mambo No. 5 waste.
