I’m not sure about the pinnacle, but for me plumbing definitely makes it to the list of the top 100 most important human achievements, at least as far as sanitation, health and qua…

You’d be surprised how many people there are in the West who picture USSR as some kind of a magical world run by elves and fairies. Left-leaning French academics is one such group …

More like: USSR propaganda in 100 photographs. One “man in space” vs millions of people devoid of plumbing and basic products, all living in a repressive orwellian society. The aft…

Just “voting” is not sufficient. In fact, voting for the “wrong” people got us here. This guy won because people voted for him. Twice! How about: please always vote for the person …

People were for years joking about us approaching Idiocracy but I think this reality is already dumber than that in some regards. Trump & co really turbocharged the idiotification

That’s your personal and rather narrow definition of hospitality, and that’s also coming from someone from Central Europe. There definitely can be hospitality with reciprocity, lik…

Wow what a great value on those $1.2B for the taxpayers!

What does NAFO have to do with anything here?

It’s like Trump bragging he could shoot someone at Fifth Avenue and not lose voters. Congrats, I guess??

Interesting. While the missing word doesn’t contribute any new information, it does convey a feeling. Like a typeface.

I agree. I think some creations are absolutely rare, unique and unlikely artefacts of culture and circumstances. Technology, people, means, vision and all sorts of other aspects ha…

I live next to a botanical garden which has climate-regulated glass domes with all sorts of non-native plants from around the world and it gets 90%+ of them right, but sometime you…

Blade Runner is absolute perfection in every aspect. It’s crazy how deep Ridley Scott has fallen since

Cool art, I could totally imagine a Dixit deck with your stuff

I can strongly recommend the mobile app Flora Incognita for quickly identifying plants. It’s made by one of the German universities so it’s free, don’t have ads, and don’t collect …

Stephen has been documenting his life for decades now. He talks about his system here: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-prod...

Can’t trust anything OpenAI says anymore. Seems like they’ve been acting in bad faith for far too long. Feels like a company run by ruthless lying sociopaths. And I used to be a fa…

Why not just read it out loud himself and record it?

I love ramen. And the best thing about it is that it’s always a bit different, unique experience

No, he’s discovered a temporary way out of it.

Such a boomer sentiment. Good advice is good advice no matter how old the mouth that utters it

I think it’s way older than that. Evolution is all about adaptation and survival. When thick armour and large sharp teeth get replaced by soft skin and abstract thinking, anticipat…

Wow especially the last one doesn’t look like a hallucination. It’s very distinct, untypical, specific, both in form and content. It’s even a running joke and a huge annoyance by n…

+1 for French79, especially his album “Olympic” (2016)

“ According to Mr Yotzov’s study, nine in ten executives report no impact of ai on their firm’s productivity over the past three years.” Brutal stuff.
