I can't go back. I have family to care for who need me at home and will suffer if I'm away. And that's even before I reclaim all the time during the day when there was no work I could be doing. I'm more productive, I f

Sure, that's better. I dunno, feels like bikeshedding to worry about the best way of getting help. It's sad that it turned out to be relatively boring (equipment not set up right) instead of any actual scientific discovery, but

Well the one where they immobilized the legs just got eaten, so... yeah. The photos of the escape make me imagine the world's strangest motivational "hang in there" type of poster.

The problem with printing it is that we'll always be able to just print more, because it's effectively a number in a database and we probably don't even need to literally print out dollar bills for it. But we'll have pil

It's going to be hard to top the utter cringe of a game where you control a naked guy with a single pixel dick on his way to rape an indigenous woman.

It could be worse, you could've been playing that weird, racist Atari game named "Custer's Revenge."

Someone going after people keeping child sex slaves doesn't really seem to be stretching the definition of human trafficking.

This article is weird. It goes on an on about things like QAnon, 9/11, etc. that are simply not connected to anything and exist only to flavor the article. It says this harms people... but provides one random quote and no real substa

It's amazing to think that this might be replicated using equipment they put googly eyes on and named "Sucky McSuckface." I look forward to this historical footnote leading to many clickbait articles in the future.

Honestly when I clicked I was expecting to find something about L Ron Hubbard, but I think $200M might be a bit low.

The biggest fault of capitalism is that it gives people what they want. And we really, really don't like some of the things that some people want.

That's sorta like saying that running JTR on password hashes doesn't amount to hacking.

Just dig a ditch from California to Arizona, then use the sunlight to evaporate the water. Easy, right? :)

The mods here do sometimes change sufficiently misleading headlines, but that takes time and getting their attention.

I remember a short time when posting "hacked materials" was a thing people were up in arms about, but that ship seems to have sailed.

There's only one equal state, among many states of being. We'll probably never have true equity at all, and if we do it is vanishingly unlikely to last. It's like getting a coin to land on the edge. What we should probably

Then they get you on the flip side when somebody does something way out there that's almost unbelievable. It took a couple of decades for Epstein to be shut down, after catching him once and him getting away with a slap on the wrist.

Prices are still going up, just more slowly. That's the "cooling." It's just a happy face on the fact that we've had several years of awful inflation. But inflation allows numbers to keep going up while hiding the

> There's no "before" for a singularity. How does that work for black holes? It seems like there would be a 'before' they formed in the time dimension of our universe, if not within the singularity itself.

The system I've heard people recommend is that the government gives you a tax form with everything filled out and you can either pay that or redo it yourself with corrections.

I mean, for myself personally, they already have everything from my bank, brokerage and employer and my job is to send them a copy of a bunch of forms they already have and have them do calculations they already did.

I don't want the tax code simplified, I want them to send me a tax bill and for that to be the end of the story for those of us not running a business.

A lot of math is cumulative, i.e. built on top of the prior concepts/tools. There are some things that are effectively the start of their own branches, but a lot of them then go back into a tangle of general mathematics that's al
