You assume that people want to learn from their mistakes instead of doubling, tripling down, ad infinitum. The last 8 or so years has taught me otherwise.

It's interesting that you agree with the assessment that a leader of a country isn't responsible for the windfalls from previous administrations, but ... Then you're associating the new leader of a corporation with windfalls

Wow! That's a lot of variable rate or only temporarily fixed rate mortgages! I'm certainly no expert in all of this, how does that stack up with other countries data?

It's not only bandwidth limited, it's message count as well. The $60/yr plan allows for 750 _messages_ per month. Up to 3000 messages per month if you stack 4 plans together. So on the base plan, you're limited to ~1 mes

I wonder how many people said the same thing about airplanes, or electricity, or any of the countless other amazing things we have accomplished as a species. Maybe the current trajectory of fusion is unlikely to bear fruit, but we'll l

You know you've done something pretty cool when your equipment catches fire after the experiment is complete. Either that or you've made a mistake somewhere. :D

> There will be no fusion. Scream it into the ether with veins popping out of your head all you want, it doesn't make you correct. Additionally, there's literally no reason to not pursue both avenues.

"I am angry not because someone is wrong, but because they are not interested in becoming less wrong." Paraphrased that a bit, but I really like that quote.

Thanks a bunch for the detailed reply! I would like to learn more about stuff like this.

Probably just a coincidence! We probably shouldn't inconvenience ourselves in the slightest amount to mitigate these coincidences. Anything that might damage profits, impact billionaires, or hurt shareholders of our best gigantic busin

Thanks for the response, but I was mostly asking about your experience as someone working in this particular field. Do you have any guesses for what might be the connection between these two different scattering amplitudes in seemingly disc

I let local native milkweed grow wild on my land, specifically for Monarchs. I saw at least 3 this morning (unlikely to be migratory, I suppose?) Hopefully my property can be a stop for some of the migratory species!

You would also THINK that we don't need an amendment to state that women should be able to vote, or that an amendment that the color of your skin shouldn't restrict your ability to vote ... But that's the world we live in app

It boggles my mind how anyone in 2022 can want to vote "no" on this bill. I guess pandering to the lowest common denominator gets you votes. My representative voted "no", and I guarantee my friends and family won't

Indeed. Look at the US immediately after WW2. Huge power imbalance between USA (sole holder of all nuclear arms), and the rest of the world. So ... yeah, kinda proves your point.

Yep. I mean, there's absolutely a market for the stuff, but it should NOT be our goal to make every game the same cookie cutter formula for "how to maximize money". In fact, I think there's a bigger problem at hand here.
