It was part of a (very big) amendment [1] ("NO TIKTOK ON GOVERNMENT DEVICES") to H.R. 2617 [2] I really enjoy the transparency our government has but it could still be a lot better. Finding the final text of bills, especially b

There are ~500k homeless people[1] and 16 million vacant homes[2]. So the average American wouldn't need to take in a homeless person. The homeless people could fit in ~3% of the vacant homes. Obviously it's more complicated than

Looks like some source issues and editor drama from the talk page[1] and the edit that removed Mario[2]. The editor drama is apparently a user who made many thousands of edits over the last 17(!) years, using multiple accounts, and misrepre

I would argue that more work can be done by more people because more accessible tools enable anyone to produce based on ideas rather than only a small subset of people blessed with the required skills. Did digital art tools, compared to s

Is US support actually vital for Israel's continued existence? US foreign aid isn't even 1% of their GDP[1] And Israel seems to have no issue trading military equipment or creating mutually beneficial deals with Russia and China[2

Broken ribs are common from CPR. They even mention it during CPR training (and they told us to keep going anyway). I don't remember anything about liver lacerations but a quick google does say it happens: looks like the sternum can sli
