  • A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found that 39% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency; a CNN/SSRS poll found that 41% of Americans approve; and a NBC News Stay Tuned Poll found that 45% of U.S. adults approve.

    Turns out, Trump is more popular than Musk, but all of these numbers are still amazingly high.

  • The visualizations made be 3blue1brown make so much sense, and they also look cool.

  • It’s also about motivation. During the first years, you just study all the boring stuff nobody cares about. It takes years to get to the cool stuff, but by that time most students are already completely fed up with maths.

    The problems in the books were extra dry, so I prefered to come up with my own problems and solutions. Like, one day I was wondering how long it would take for a super fast train to go from one side of the planet to another. What if you accelerated half the way at 1 g, and then decelerated at -1g. How long would it take? What would be the maximum velocity? I had so many questions, and that’s why I had plenty of motivation to figure it all out. That’s how I learn weird and random stuff.

    What if you had a powerful laser that was able to evaporate stone? Let’s say you wanted to use it to drill a hole through stone, but you need to do it with the same rate as with a regular drill? Would you need a nuclear reactor just to power your super laser? My head is full of bizarre questions like this, so learning never stops.

  • I’ll just vacuum up all of those coins real quick. Just make sure nobody knows I did that, deal?

  • It’s basically just an alternate home feed with the first 2 videos mildly related to what you were looking for. The rest are there to distract you from getting stuff done. The whole point is to boost engagement, watch time and all the other social media cancer terms.

  • It’s a long standing tradition in c/nottheonion. You stumble upon a strange article, link it here and wait for the sweet sweet upvotes to roll in. As it stands, it looks like you were aiming for a different community, and missed.

  • Simon Clark also made a video where he comments on that press release. It was tragic, hilarious, horrifying, surprising, disappointing and everything in between.

  • Really depends on how you intend to use Windows. Once upon a time I thought that was a great solution for communicating with an ancient piece of windows specific hardware. Turns out, you really need to keep that old W98 computer around unless you are willing to upgrade to new analysis hardware that costs about as much as a nice car. Home users probably never run into issues like this.

  • You missed your stop. You were supposed to step off at 1930s Germany, right? Well, now we’re already headed towards medieval Spain. You might like the inquisition though.

  • What about those 2% days when you do need windows? Every time you boot to it, you’ll have gigabytes of updates waiting for you, which is seriously annoying. In order to do “just one thing real quick”, you’ll end up wasting an hour each time. I propose you make those days less infuriating, by booting up windows a bit more frequently.

    Ideally, you would just uninstall it entirely, and use the disk space for Linux. Unfortunately, many people still have some ties that are difficult to break, so I totally get it why dual booting exists. If that one thing you do in windows doesn’t require much performance, you could also dedicate some old heap of junk laptop for it.

  • It was a risky comment, and people didn’t like that. Fair enough. Occasionally, taking these kinds of risks produces interesting results though.

  • Exactly. There were only moments of relief between being chased by a t.rex or a bunch of velociraptors. Even when the protagonists ride into the sunset, the seeds of the next disaster are already sprouting.

  • Thanks for taking the time to analyze my wrecklesly risky comment.

  • I want to build a Dyson sphere and use the energy to move the entire solar system to a place where our dying star can be replaced.

    How’s that for achievable goals?

  • Read posts and comments. Upvote the good stuff, downvote the bad stuff. Post comments, ask questions, join communities etc.

    If you write stuff people like, you’ll get upvotes. If you’re mean, you get downvoted to oblivion.
