it's a really amazing place. Definitely worth the trek out there if you have the time/desire. Really, the entire great basin/american SW is fascinating. There are a bunch of spots out there that will blow most people away.

White Sands is one of those places that keeps delivering. It's changed our timeline of when people arrived in the Americans and it's completely changed how we think of them. Hopefully they have enough funding to keep doing what th

I'm not quite sure what their point is there. Everything they mention can also be accomplished on a home NAS or something with plenty of security. I don't think anything is really justified here besides simplicity? Which..this isn

This was huge news in the environmental world. Unfortunately, it wound up being really depressing. We showed that we could substantially reduce emissions with behavior changes. Then we went right back to business as usual and actually incre

This is false. The cost of building is going up because of tariffs. It isn't going to be profitable to build new wells. Wells, right now, are about 30% more expensive to build vs pre-tariffs, but this is likely to keep changing. Add in

I would actually wager that benefits dont matter to them anymore. If it's government, it's bad. Full stop. Conservatives don't really have any real stances. They are obstructionists at this point. They anti-. That's it.

I didn't read the paper, but this sounds very familiar and similar to the change in the NRA. Pre 1970s the NRA was very much a hobby gun club meant mostly to keep american boys/men using guns for war readiness, along with promotin

Most people are too lazy/entitled to even protest in the US. I'd wager the same is true in a lot of western cultures right now. Most Americans can't even see past basic propaganda nowadays. There's a severe lack of criti

That's the Hallmark of a fascist leader. I hate to bring up Hitler but that's how he gained much of his power. He was a "useful idiot". The people that helped him were looking out for themselves. They thought they could

My understanding is that string theory has basically been tossed aside by most of the field. It's one of those things that got public support as it fell out of favor in academia. Now it won't go away because the public likes it.

Years ago a coworker asked me if it's okay to take his multivitamin before going to bed. I replied, "taking them at all is the hurdle. Don't worry about not getting 5% of your multivitamin, because you're still getting t

Are you doing nothing or are you doing "nothing" like scrolling social media or playing video games? Sitting in silence is vastly different than doing nothing productive.

I used to try to do this, but really you're giving them way too much credit. I grew up super conservative. It really is as simple as "guvmit bad" to a shockingly large amount of Americans.

That's an issue I have with this article. We can avoid advertisements, it really isn't that difficult. It can be inconvenient but that's better than slowly eroding your sense of normalcy.

It's, in part, the American diet. Americans eat an insane amount of beef, fat, grease, etc which accumulates into old age. Then older Americans see a reduction in "usable years" because basic things become difficult. A lot of

The reason is government bad. The next reason is a war on science/intellect. That's it. Stop trying to rationalize what they're doing as anything other than "smart people and science bad".
