    I introduced this to so many people as the only one who knew how to play. Key is start the game with 3 cards and win the round quickly + be super diligent about the rules so no con…

    Christmas 1999 my father's business had just gone under when the banks stopped lending after the dot com bubble. We didn't have any presents until Christmas morning when our church…

    In graduate school we had to answer this on a test question and it took all of 5 minutes...should have published it, I guess

    Was curious what types of observations they'd do with this and found this site: https://www.universetoday.com/168209/the-big-fringe-telescop... From there: Dr. van Belle continues,…

    I think of geothermal the same way I think of tidal power - seemingly renewable but not really. Harnessing tides dampens the lunar oscillations surprisingly fast (as discussed here…

    Was curious what chatGPT would say: The result of subtracting 9999999999999998.0 from 9999999999999999.0 is 2.0. This result is due to the limitations in the precision of floating-…
