Am I missing something? Putting oil into a hot pan causes it to spit and that is how to get an oil fire.

I'd suggest anyone with a passing knowledge of calculus, complex numbers, and vectors to sit through Leonard Suskind's lectures on quantum gravity. This one was good and wouldn't need the calc/math background, I think:

How about the fake candles? I went through a period where as soon as I got home and out of the shower I’d go dark. I had a battery powered lamp that I used exclusively. I’d wear an eye mask with something to listen to playing. It definitely

Doesn’t matter how it’s treated. People get lured here, have their visas taken from them (sometimes to “pay debt”), and now they’re slaves who will be treated as illegal immigrants and arrested if they go to the police. Problem entirely of

The US truly is the land of plenty. It’s some of the most fertile land on earth across a significant portion of the northern American continent. It produces food for billions of people every year. Most of the land mass is void of people, fo

The Prof G podcast/YouTube channel has been pretty good at harping on the inequalities in the US lately. https://www.profgalloway.com/taxes/ they/his team argue that a lot of the general negativity in things

And yet modern day would be impossible if we bulldozed all our roads, highways, and rail. That stuff needed massive government investment.

I think those are more about inequality and greed. They have so many resources they’re exhausting any and all passing interest. Bees seem to have solved this with graduating highly productive bees into a bohemian class. They spend their tim

Like the ever ongoing empirical work being published in peer reviewed journals? Those two words were taken so far out of context it’s hard to think you’re being charitable.

Regulation. You want regulation. And some social safety nets like social security, health care. Etc. Edit-also the reason you don’t immediately think of the word “regulation” is for the last 40+ years anyone suggesting regulation has been r

You have to credit it with its achievements if you’re going to point out its faults. A world where the Nazis won might have less inequality after they succeeded in killing everyone without blonde hair and blue eyes. But more likely they wou

No sarcasm. It’s easy to poke holes in the thing. The holes are largely a reflection that it’s not been regulated. There’ve been attempts and even successful regulation in certain markets across time, but the current economy has warts. Tedd

Yes. No central planner had to be convinced or bribed to let cobalt be mined. Just capitalism doing its thing.

There’s an observation in environmental economics about mining for resources acting similar to a banking instrument. As more resources are devoted to a scarce resource like cobalt more mines become economically viable. Most easily seen with

What you described reflects that corporate structure and might be industry wide. They look at code as only valuable in the monetary return it makes. They might even consider it a cost center. That will always be a less than pleasant place t

Ginger is surprisingly useful. Apparently it works similar to a cgrp antagonist. Ask a Dr about cgrp antagonists and cgrp inhibitors. I’ve even pushed ice to the roof of my mouth to fight the migraine pain before. For a migraine, I once fel

That isn’t going to change the core basic facts of how the immune system responds or slowly wears away upon repeat infections.

I have history with medical doctors (neurologists) telling me that “men don’t get migraines, I don’t believe you’re in pain and have migraines.” For many years. (It’s more manageable now, but without careful treatment I’ll get a migraine ev

I heard a quip that the east way to tell whether omicron is in a room was “is there air in the room?” (When omicron was new.) Basically the new variants are so transmissible that if they’re in an area it’s like avoiding a tsunami. Which isn

Does anybody put a paywall in front of submitting tickets? Seems like homebrew could if anybody. Ie $10 to submit and might need more for a larger problem.

This was a problem for me in the southwest in the early 2000s. It’s far worse today, too. Sometimes I have to turn on my brights just to have a chance to see my side of the road. Very uncomfortable.

It's 2023. Hard drive space shouldn't be an issue. Test installing the full software suite, make it work, and you know the lesser installs will all work.

All stuff that should be in a trouble ticket from a whiney user. Which we know this type of user would be. Edit-Also, this is for Mac OS. Chose a few standard OSes to support and test them. If a system update will fix the issue then it shou

Richer how, exactly? I fundamentally don't 'get' what richness they actually need. If anything they need money, of course, and to know their software works for their users. Prior to release have a test system install the full

Or just hire a few FTEs to properly support and maintain the CLI. Pull in new FreeBSD base at releases if they really want to axe their overhead. It's always just read as absolutely lazy how slowly the CLI progresses. Hire a few more a

Why does a package manager need to track their users at all? If you want usage statistics for packages just track how often individual packages are downloaded on the server side. A maintainer has no need to know who's installing what.

Point is, whatever option is agreeable wouldn’t require the kind of build out to get us here-wiring up the internet, researching and scaling smartphone tech, etc. direct democracy seems like a pretty obvious max for logistical problems to g
