Jordan Peele does a fantastic impersonation of Ray Parker Jr. (“the Ghostbusters guy”) promoting his lesser known movie theme songs he’s submitted through the years. Talk about bad songs! Jumanji, Passion of the Christ, Apt Pupil. lol. h

If I turn the volume down to the point that I only hear the cadence/rhythm of the voices, but can no longer make out the words, it sounds like any, “This Week in…” podcast.

In this case, the User deliberately changed the text of a fairly well-known riddle in order to “fool” the LLM. What you really are looking for is the right question: “A man and a son get into a car accident. They are rushed to the hospital

It's important to distinguish between the types of stem cells when referring to pluripotency (i.e., the ability for a cell to differentiate into almost any cell type in the body). Embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent. Adul

My first thought was of the old “Ronco Shower/Blow Dryer in a Briefcase” skit with Martin Short on SCTV ( https://youtu.be/eTHvF2aAi50?si=JmPQsvjV6YtpWjQw ). “Why you….”

I completely agree that neglect, indifference and lack of involvement can only result in negative outcomes for a child (e.g., sense of insecurity, lower feelings of self-worth, delayed development in certain areas due to lack of stimulation

Yes, Lamarck is alive and well. I frequently hear colleagues in biology with years of experience making lazy statements such as, "Humans evolved to walk because..." as if evolution is a conscious act. In many cases, these people

I'm a biologist who purchases reagents from Bio-Rad. I received this email last night: December 10, 2019 "Bio-Rad Dear Valued Customers: At approximately 5:30 PM (Pacific Standard Time) on December 5, Bio‑Rad detected a ransomwa

Good article, and I agree that Kennedy's speeches are generally associated with the push for the Apollo program ("We choose to go to the Moon..."), but I would hardly say that LBJ's role was "unsung". They did

The "big deal", at least according to NASA and congress, was that the crew accepted funds ($7,000 each) to transport the items to the surface of the moon without informing NASA officials. I don't have a firm opinion on the ma

Interesting list. I wouldn't be too fond of my Gemini crew mate who brought the corned beef sandwich. What was special about the Apollo 15 postal covers, and relevant to the OP, was that the crew accepted monetary compensation to trans

Interesting take and I agree. I always thought of it as a labor-relations issue rather than a crime. However, the article states, "a single day on Skylab was worth about $22.4 million in 2017 dollars, and thus any work stoppage was con

Before I clicked on the story, my first thought went back to the Apollo 15 "Postal Covers Incident". Each of the three crew members received $7K from a stamp dealer to bring stamp collector memorabilia to the lunar surface and the

Agreed. Possibly Equifax consciously chose a "scammy-sounding" domain to deter individuals from filing a claim.

Pretty close on the populations. The moon colonies, not so much. “In 2014, there is every likelihood that the world population will be 6,500,000,000 and the population of the United States will be 350,000,000. Boston-to-Washington, the most

Very astute comment about external motivation versus internal motivation. The fact that someone else is depending on me will spur me to push through a task, particularly if it is for someone close to me (e.g. my daughter). However, in a sma

Thanks very much. I'll look into the Kinesis keyboard. I have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 connected to my MacBook Pro right now, but the design of the Kinesis looks interesting. My non-mouse hand (left) is the issue,

I'm glad to hear that your rsi was helped by using the iPad Pro as a (near) laptop replacement. I, too, suffer from some form of rsi in my left hand (i.e. not my mouse hand) and was wondering what other steps you took to "fix&quo
