Tell us you don't know any old people without saying you don't know any old people.

I'm starting to believe that Joe Biden is exactly the president we need right now. Yes, he hesitates in speech sometimes. Yes, he's old. But in most of the world, age is actually respected. And most important to me, he has demonstrated actual character over the years. You can't fake that. Right wing jackoffs hate it when a leader shows character, and watching them make fools of themselves over Biden is an added benefit.

I think he's doing fine.

Trump DID dispute the election. He did it over and over and over in court. And lost in court.

That's when he started breaking the law. He had no obligation to break the law and took no oath swearing to break the law.

Can we also have compulsory voting like Australia?

Naturally the PIN for a bank card should not be kept with the card.

I tattooed mine on a very sensitive part of my body. The only problem is having to explain myself when I walk up to an ATM and drop my pants.

Oh, and it's a 14 digit PIN.

20% of Wyomings power is from wind. 75% is from coal.

And 90% is from right-wing bullshit that the faux "cowboys" eat up because they think it makes them look manly, when it fact, they're some of the biggest welfare queens in the country. Their government ranks #5 in the states most dependent on Federal money, then they brag about not having a state income tax.

I feel like I really lucked out by managing to get a bit more time than the doctors anticipated. I really wanted to progress on that front too. And for all the rough stuff in the past handful of years I actually got to see humanity pushing for the stars more seriously than any time in my adult life. At least how I measure progress there. This, Tiangong, even getting to hear the sound of wind on mars. I'm really grateful I managed to get to see this.

I'd agree that the evidence is lacking. But I think it's important to note that it's not because of contradictory evidence. It's just that it hasn't been studied outside of those small projects. Other than that we've just got anecdotes. And the fact that I never see slim people drinking soda, diet or otherwise, is at least suggestive to me. I don't think it's a wild proposal to say that someone constantly drinking sweet things will maintain and even cultivate a taste for sweet foods. And yeah, it's tempting to just say "but willpower!". We just don't seem to work that way as a whole though. There are always exceptions. But I generally feel like it's a safe bet that someone drinking diet soda will wind up gaining weight just like the person who only smokes a couple cigarettes a week will escalate the habit.

I know complaining isn't adding anything either. But I was thinking the same thing as I scrolled down past the anti-china stuff and the anti-musk stuff. The article did at least get me to look further into the Tiangong station. Even if not to the point where I feel qualified to really say anything about it. Still though, it's sad that something this amazing gets buried under so much negativity. I mean you can dislike a country's government and still applaud the accomplishments of people living within it. Or even dislike a CEO while still appreciating what the people he employs have been able to create.

That was a far more heartwarming story than I ever expected to read about the economics of GPUs. I don't have much to add but just wanted to mention how sweet this is. It's always cool to hear about tech development in the context of familial bonds.

Are they also going to investigate why the owner of FTX was the second largest democratic party donor, next to Soros?

Will they also investigate why the CEO of FTX gave $24 million to Republicans?

"Bankman-Fried was among the most significant donors to Democrats during the cycle, distributing more than $40 million through direct contributions and super PACs. Salame gave roughly $24 million to Republicans."

Os Os baby.

Real nerds store DNA in their tube socks.

Elements of COVID were pretty basic. But I think that taken as a whole it was a horrifically complex problem. It's easy enough to determine things in carefully controlled environments. But needing to anticipate the behavior of a huge population who are often performing very different actions to what they report can be insidiously difficult. You can easily determine the effectiveness of X when variables Y and Z are introduced in a controlled environment. But it gets a lot harder when people bring along a thousand other variables. And even worse when most of them will lie about doing so, whether they're aware of the fact that they're doing so or not.

This is just a brief clip, but let's hope it's a sign of things changing.
