I really hate it when articles refer to “woke” as if it was a thing. I’ve never heard a consistent definition of that word, to the point it just seems like it means whatever the au…

“Service Model” is a recent one and I had an absolute blast with it. If you don’t have much of a humanities background, you’d benefit from skimming the Wikipedia article. There’s a…

That’s a pretty limited take on “hurt”. A person without a seatbelt will get worse injuries, and require greater medical attention. In other words, it does hurt other people.

I’m really confused why there are no binaural beats app for the Apple Vision Pro. Seems like a natural fit for the device, but they don’t seem to exist at all. If anyone has any in…

Petition to build Faraday cages into every public school classroom in the country

It's a testable theory. I personally would love to see a poll that breaks down support by wealth. But of course, that's not enough. The presidential winner isn't the person who get…

"If the 100 richest Americans decided who was president, it would be someone like Bill Gates or Michael Bloomberg -- not Donald Trump." That's an interesting question. I haven't se…

Wouldn't surprise me if they dropped insurance protecting you from causing damages. As I understand it, the sharp edges and unyielding metal panels may mean they'd cause a lot more…

The irony to me is that he just voted to overturn the Chevron doctrine. There's no way that doesn't lead to a huge increase in the number of laws.

Wrong approach. We should change our numbering system to base-12 instead.

I think this touches on an idea that isn't necessarily intuitive. People may not always gamble for the monetary winnings; that's just their excuse. It may be that people do so for …

I'm not in that industry, but if I was, I bet you could do something shady. Perhaps people who buy expensive skins have an increased chance of "luck" within the game. Critical hits…

Rifftrax does something very similar, except to mock the films. It made "Revenge of the Sith" entertaining.

Thank you. Clickbait titles like this are painful.

I do enjoy articles like this. They are such good ways to make math compelling for laymen such as myself.
