I love this shit. I recently googled something related to a music fest I went to in 2000 and came across a Reddit post from a guy trying to track down someone he met at that fest and that person turned out to be me!
The post was made in early 2024 and I came across it in June of the same year.
I didn’t say it wasn’t a useful construct.
I was back in SF recently and *every* conversation I overheard was utter nonsense and the billboards were all completely baffling.
No other way! I just think it’s not something a lot of non-scientists think about very often.
Oh man I have fond memories of seeing this in a crowded theater and hearing all the dudes apologizing to their dates in the lobby afterward. On the initial monster reveal fully half the theater jumped and audibly shouted "oh shit!"
There was a funky diner in my hometown that bought unsold slices from local pizza joints at the end of each day and served them cold the next day (optionally with a beer) on their breakfast menu.
“What we need are better stories. Stories that treat coral reefs not just as ecosystems, but as homelands.”

It’s actually not okay to pay someone with a PhD $2500 to teach a college course
The best workout routine is to watch this and just do everything David Byrne does. Do that three times a week and you’ll be fit as hell.
Hah! Well I can’t guarantee that I threw that particular unit in the water but I was definitely in the boat that day. We were all cracking up when we first saw that clip.
Is this BRUVS footage from Pristine Seas in Rotuma? This footage looks very familiar and there's a nonzero chance I might have deployed this unit.
the problem with writing is that you have to do it
I've often wondered about this w/r/t paleolithic cave art. Were caves special in some way (which seems an appropriate thing to conclude!) and/or were there paintings all over everything and only those in caves survived?
Why do temperate Australian fishes love stripes so much
To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.
I really want to check this out, but the link is broken...
I don’t have the link handy but this literally just happened (with robot vacuums). A guy was using AI to write code to control his roomba or whatever and accidentally ended up able to control any other one remotely and see peoples’ video feeds and floor plans.
