I don’t all that much about excel but I remember being blown away as a 17 year old kid at my first job when someone showed me pivot tables.

Good, I hope it forces California to set up some nuclear/solar and desalination plant combos and science their way out of this. Austerity is never the answer.

It’s really not some complicated multiverse of possibilities. It’s biological, very factual and the underlying genetic basis is as objective as something can get.

Isn’t the electoral college worse. Someone living in some sparsely populated midwestern state has more than 100x the voting impact as someone from an urban area even though they may contribute very little to the economy and probably receive

I’m going to pile on the good times here because I think Google is doing an amazing job with YouTube, their search always seems to return what I’m looking for, I like the Google workspace suite, I love Google earth and maps, I’m totally for

I disagree, the recommendation engine seems to be finding a lot of niches that I’m very interested in.

What looks good is a more widely distributed skill. A lot of people can tell you what looks good quite well, very few people can make it.

No they do not, waxed paper can be soaked for hours. Petroleum isn’t the only source of wax.

A 69% increase is mind blowing. Is there something this may have missed in this study, seems pretty unbelievable that people wouldn’t plant wheat earlier if they could given that wheat has been grown in the eastern gangetic basin for millen

So what, this is a solved problem. There are plenty of waxed paper alternatives. This is evil.

So stupid, what about holding ICANN accountable, they made the whole thing possible. Or the US government for essentially inventing the internet.

But you can agree that living under a draconian authoritarian government is not ideal? Maybe it is to abject povert but still not something to hold up as an epitome of utopia? That’s what this article does. Did good things? Yes. Got there i

So your argument is authoritarianism is better than abject poverty? A lot of the world lives there but when people get to a certain standard of living everyone still wants the basics that America offers.

It’s repressive if you’re an explicit LGBT person. But to be very honest, I’m okay with the strict (public) conformity. I like the idea of a common cohesive culture and don’t like the LGBT movement in America at all (though I’m totally for

That’s very cool but I don’t think I like dancing all that much to do it for so many hours. I used to love raves but I think I only liked dancing for 6 hours+ in those because I was rolling.

I had a really nice setup a few years ago that downloaded every new episode of whatever show I was watching. It think it was called sickbeard with a newzbin subscription. I rarely watch shows now though so I don’t think I would appreciate i

You can bet on anything. I’m sure you can find a bookie that would provide spreads on a company going under or not.

For me it’s a combination of liking to walk and most importantly it’s kind of embarrassing to ride those things, they draw too much attention and that form factor doesn’t look great.

Asia, the Middle East and South America skipped the giving rights to women part and have jumped straight to the backlash against it in sync with what’s happening in the west. I’m not even joking.

Yes but when the overwhelming majority of women are at >400 pg/ml and men under 20 pg/ml it’s more than an order of magnitude change.

I’m mildly annoyed that this is called the wim hof method and not pranayama (specifically bahi kumbhaka) when he practiced yoga for years before he came up with this. The whole process is lifted — the hyperventilation followed by the holdin

All that housing, food, water and internet cost money. I don’t think it’s as easy as you’re making it seem.

The important thing to take away is that “right wing” talking point or not there is a genuine reason to be concerned here.

Sure but when you’re talking about order of magnitude differences there is a clear delineation and the fear is not unwarranted.

I use illustrator, audition and photoshop a lot. My wife works for a university though and I have a free subscription.

Using renewable energy is putting out the fire. There’s no reason to advocate for reduced consumption of it. It doesn’t add to the fire.
