He brought words to a gun fight

It’s similar to the miss against Trump, just missing in a more successful direction

I guess one good tern deserves another

I loved hanging out with an entomologist during the brief time xkcd’s geohashing was popular. Just sharing the love of the insect world they had

They also taught me how to make a drosophila (fruit fly) trap (cut the to off a soft drink bottle, flip it, tape the two parts together, bait it with wine)

Yeah, my high school was history, history, maths, and maths, at least year 11 and 12 I did double maths and double history. I think I learnt more about electricity when I got into amateur radio, the licence for that is pretty detailed

That’s electricity by chemistry. Electricity by physics is done by moving a magnet relative to a wire, for example as the alternator in a car does

Electricity is remarkably simple. Children make machines that can make electricity since all you need to do is chemistry or move a magnet relative to a wire. You can make electricity you can feel by rubbing a balloon on your hair

Get charged to a few thousand volts, and you will feel the electric charge pushing your hairs away from each other

You’ll feel the electric fields just as you feel a breeze

Have you never been charged to thousands of volts? You can feel the static electric charge as it directly affects your body hair

Additionally there is evidence humans can sense magnetic fields, with some populations always knowing where north is, and using cardinal directions in place of forward, backwards, left, right, front, and back

Outsiders who have spent time with those people have learnt to sense their orientation.

You can resist it

The politics of the victim probably couldn’t be mentioned during the trial. They often suppress that sort of stuff

For those wondering, it’s an ice age because both poles are ice bound. We’re working on it though.

Imagine if industrialisation happened during a warm time, even now on the edge of an ice age we have hit all time records for heat and tripped tipping points that have been stable since the last interglacial. We’d already been screwed if we had been in a warmer period, as it is we’re just sure to be screwed without some new technology

Right, we bulldoze forests to make fertile land available. I agree that’s bad, I don’t want celery from that land either

I cannot eat grass, ruminant animals can. How is it inefficient for me to eat the animal rather than the grass?

You can get keen and competent without them being crazy

Have you not seen 2001 A Space Oddysee? Kubrick couldn’t have made a fake moon video as realistic as the film from the crews of the six landers that landed and filmed on the moon

How would Kubrick’s film have fake livestreamed to the different downlink sites? Low orbits are much much faster than orbits at lunar altitude (90 minutes versus a month). How could a LEO broadcast satellite pretend to livestream from the moon?

How could they fake it so well Russia couldn’t tell? Russia could pick up and decode the signal from the moon when the moon was up. Radio direction finders were a thing back then

Just as LLMs become better every year or less. Lots of money expects a lot from AI soon

With the exception of smart phones, most of the things that make the now bad were unrelated to the tech

Climate change is happening because changing the way the world gets its energy is slow. Fossil fuels way predate flight

Lack of social cohesion is due to the car allowing us to isolate ourselves in sparse suburbia rather than to live in neighbourhoods

Wars are older than humanity but are affecting fewer of us now than in the past, though things were even more peaceful a couple of decades ago

The capture of almost all the value of labour by the owner class could probably have happened anyway, it started before computers, perhaps it was accelerated by computers

The OP image shows Google prioritising the quoted search term, but also getting the similar meaning results

Quotes tell the search engine you want that or something like it, don’t show stuff completely unlike it
