Who is this video for? Don't get me wrong, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. But do people sending astronauts in space get sold by carbon fiber and slick videos?

How long have you been waiting to use this pedantic comment and the obnoxious condescending quote about it to prove someone wrong and make yourself feel smart? This has nothing to do with the parent comment about node deliberately differing

That's really what good teaching is. It's the condensing of years work and thought into a 10 second blurb someone else can consume. I really appreciate this presentation and I can't imagine the amount of work that went into m

Let's not assume our feelings about things are universal. That way, we won't be surprised that there are people in the world who don't feel exactly the same way we do about things we consider important. While we're not a

So maybe I'm out of the loop, but this article never really seems to explain why K2 is so bad and why it specifically is to blame for the issues in the article. I tried it about 8 years ago, and it was kind of like being stoned on pot
