Trillions on military, not even 100 billion for a manhattan style project to come up with a better fission design that would solve all of our energy problems as well as global warming. Until we have battery densities 10X-20X what we have now solar and wind will always be second tier power sources to traditional and nuclear

Do you propose the government shutting down all social media because you don't like them? What is your precise solution if not. Is this the job of the government, to limit speech that you don't like or don't like how it's presented?

I think they're saying "stop complaining, it's tit for tat, so don't cry anymore big companies that hold 90% of the power"

I think it would be the 80s for me lol

I'll create a new crypto token for them for 5% of the net worth. Give me a call FTX administrators.

as long as the judge allows it, it's unlikely to be "comtemptuous"

I've lived in 6 different cities in my lifetime, in every one they claimed they had the worst drivers in the USA.

Edit: well color me an idiot, I just checked and a 2019 usnews report had boston as ranked 3rd on worst drivers, based on whatever set of variable they came up with, so touche.

I found what I think is probably the same report. This one anyway had DC and Baltimore, two cities where I've personally driven a good deal, as the worst, and I would believe that.

One other thing to note is that two of the _other_ top 10 are also in Mass, Worcester and Springfield. That's the only triplet on the list in the same metro area.

Though I guess, for the point I was making, it doesn't matter if Boston driving is the actual worst in the country or not, as long as it's very bad, which I promise you it is.

Insane that Miami wouldn't be on there, makes me question the whole thing.

Imagine Miami only with ice storms, and you've got Boston.

I lived in Boston for 2.5 years and it's not as bad as Miami on it's worst day, driving-wise.

Speaking seriously, I'll take your word for it, I haven't visited Miami since I was a little kid.

the whole "book learning nerd not living in the real world" is quite cliche these days, there are much better descriptors such as emotional, literary, mathematical, etc intelligences. Someone may be high in all of them or in just one or none.

I mean, I explicitly _said_ it was a cliche. But I'd argue that it's not wrong. I guess if I had to describe the kind of person I'm thinking of in a more nuanced way, I'd say they're educated and very good, often brilliant, in their chosen work, but both have low emotional intelligence and are lacking a sort of...I don't know how to put it exactly...basic ability to take care of themselves.

There are also plenty of booksmart nerds with high emotional and practical intelligence. (I like to think I'm one, sure didn't used to be.) On the whole they are fun people to be around.

It helps, but it also misses a lot, it's really better to use multiple layers

As someone who had to test various ACPI configs and work my way through the docs, I will never do that again. I will literally get out of my seat and tender my resignation on the spot if they try to force me. Never again. It's probably the most overengineered thing I've ever had to work with.
