Yeah, but Fox is the gateway drug.

Maybe now Trump supporters can be persuaded to boycott Fox News.

The Affinity Suite is great, but I’m suspicious of its acquisition by Canva—I’m afraid their solution to “bringing the suite to Linux” will be turning it into a web service.

No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election

Yeah, the DNC would never do that.

Carrier pigeon.

They’re NFPA 704 signs.

So “Tim Apple” is CEO of Apple, and Tim Pool is on the White House press pool.

Does Trump just believe in some kind of obligate nominative determinism? If I change my name to “Tim General”, can I sit on the National Security Council?

Killing flies eventually kills spiders by starvation.

The video is subtitled “Saxo-didge”.

Everyone’s citing Christianity, but that’s not completely accurate—monogamy isn’t really promoted by the New Testament outside of the letters of the apostles, who were trying to appeal to a Roman audience. The Christian church enforced monogamy through the Middle Ages, but it was originally adopted from the Romans.

As for why the Romans practiced it, there are several theories—one is that Roman women had relatively higher status compared to women in most Middle Eastern cultures; another is that the prospect of marriage for more men made Roman armies more effective.

Crow and octopus. Both are moderately devious without being prohibitively dangerous.

I don’t think this fully answers OP’s question, though (at least as I understand it): while a photon’s wave function spreads out everywhere including the diffraction grating and card, what counts for conservation of energy is where the photon is actually observed. So if we manipulate the interference pattern of the wave function to cause a photon to be observed where the probability would normally cancel to zero—and if the probability of observing the photon somewhere remains one—does that accordingly reduce the probability of observing the photon where we would otherwise have expected to see it?

If history is any guide, it’s about even odds.

If labor becomes worthless, money will be based on control of resources. Those with resources will sell to each other, and everyone else will have literally nothing to work with.

Ok… but if someone told you they found their wife and neighbor boffing, would you assume that meant they were doing scientific research?

He knows that states can only have one governor at a time, right?

They may not have enough manpower to guard a more distributed site, especially if they’re afraid of internal groups seizing some of it.

Kirzhach is on the far side of Moscow from Ukraine. Did the drones fly over Moscow to reach it, or did they take a longer route?

Most hated is “boffin” for scientist—“boff” is American slang for sex, so it sounds like calling them “fuckers” (which generally doesn’t seem to be the intended connotation).

It’s an emergent phenomenon—institutions will naturally behave in ways that increase their power, without that necessarily being the conscious intention of any given member.
