As someone from the E coast, Olympic is like someone took a forest and turned it up to 11. I understand the technical term is temperate rain forest, but nothing prepares you for the shear density of life.

Groups of trees in a line are common, like in the 2nd pic. That's because they grew on a fallen log that has since rotted away. If you leave anything there for a week, shit will be growing out of that too.

I think it's neat that Newton is taught first. As in: gravity is a function of mass. Because that works in so many scenarios.

But then you learn that gravity bends light and that photons have no mass.

So.... Gravity isn't a force, it's more like going downhill... in the dimension of time.

Did the kid in your school have access to experimental kit?

The kid in my school had a special prototype that displayed the Nintendo on the windshield for the passenger of a car. I've been waiting 35 years for that product to hit the shelves.

Term limits would require a Constitutional amendment. That's a generational project.

The corruption in this court will consume it. For example, it's only a matter of time before a POTUS realizes that the immunity granted by the court could be used to legally assassinate judges who rule against you. Why add to the court when you can subtract?

and let them use the AI systems to increase productivity.

This sounds exactly like a solution from a useless middle-manager. Keep the faith.

YSK: manholes are dangerous. Never mind the nastiness and falling hazard. Many are cast-iron and because of the rust, the interior can be a low-oxygen environment. And that's not the only way the air can be too fouled to breathe safely.

If you've ever seen professinals entering manholes, they'll be using a ventilation system to ensure fresh air and safety.

EDIT: this isn't just about breathing, sewer gasses can be fire/explosion hazards too.

I've used SAMBA shares for years, and it's dead simple to map a network drive in Explorer. And mounting that drive on boot is a matter of a checkbox in a dialog.

The problem is that knowing how to do something in Windows teaches you Windows and learning it in Linux teaches you computers. For example if you know how to connect to a remote host through the command line, you already know how to connect to one in Nautilus, and vise versa. (via the command ssh://user@host)

I think this cross-pollination approach is going to be a learning curve for Windows users. It is for me. But taking the time has not only helped me understand Linux, I understand how to use Windows better, despite barely logging in for over a year.

There is a rise in so called "America first anti-Zionism". Don't fall for it.

The first problem, of course is that it's anti-Semitic at it's core. But also, the idea that Israel "tricked" the US into war with Iran is just stupid. The US has been in a on-again off-again conflict with Iran since the 70s. Every POTUS since Carter has contemplated attacking Iran, they just concluded (correctly) that it wouldn't work. The only reason to believe America didn't go into this eyes-open is to absolve the US for Israel's crimes. We were tricked you see... by those crafty Hebrews.

Donald is just looking for a scapegoat. This is typical behavior when things don't go his way. It may be true that Netanyahu had undue influence over Trump, but that could be true of anyone who Trump talks to, or sees on TV.

It's true that nihilism cannot justify any action. Remember that when someone says that somebody did something "because" they're nihilist.

The truth is that nihilists aren't upset about the lack of meaning; it doesn't matter that it doesn't matter. Everybody constructs their own meaning, nihilists just acknowledge that.

Fight fire with fire. Spread the word that Charlie Kirk died of an overdose, the gunshot hysteria is a distraction.
