  1. Would just expect to see a more typical distribution of directions in the first place. Some apparently headed towards us(blue), some away(red), and others approximately keeping pace.
  2. Biggest for me, is that you would expect to also see some blueshifting, if it had some other cause. It's also tied to distance. The further something is, the greater the recession velocity. Not what you might expect from a random sample.
  3. Kang's variants are still out there. Consider what Renslayer comes across as well.
  4. He's talking about the Loki series on Disney, still no sign of Jesus though. Was pretty epic. Without spoiling anything, involves Yggdrasill and Ragnarok. They haven't ruled out us seeing the character again. Could see him serving as a guide or similar in the future. Happy Tiw's Day everyone!
  5. I'm thinking if the one Kennedy is still running, he will pull votes away from Trump, giving Biden the EC win. On the plus side, we apparently finally adopt pure metric.
  6. I'm thinking chances are low that it would have been stored in ideal conditions and not lost due to fire in all this time. What are the odds this old wooden cup I found on vacation there in a bog next to an olive grove, is worth anything?
  7. For SC, they were concerned Justices' opinions could be swayed by pension concerns and didn't anticipate people living so long. https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/text-71-80#s-lg-box-wrapper-25493471 They really didn't think some things through. The loser of the Presidential election becoming the Vice President was another big one.
  8. There's other parties and candidates. Typical FPTP result though 😐 We've tried to reform the EC periodically, but many of the same concerns behind the original compromise persist. Were it different, could win the Presidency by only focusing on the concerns of 9-10 States.

    Honestly, enjoying seeing how the sausage is made for a change. Lot more engaging. Do need the House back in action though.
  10. Typically before, sometimes also during and after depending on what I'm cooking.
  11. I just mean they'll probably have a majority of seats. I understand don't want to see more waste, but think at this point you're all going to have to build like mad fiends. Have both a high demand for housing in general and increasing asylum applicant backlog contributing to ongoing government costs(hotel rentals). I don't know about whole new towns, but it's at least something. Hopefully government uses the chance to tackle root causes and other issues.
  12. Assuming the Labour party takes control next, are they likely to join the collaborative effort?
  13. Apparently had taken alcohol and sleeping pills as well. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12117183.man-dies-in-bid-to-stop-his-snoring/
  14. Software Defined Radio is an option for the PC. https://www.amazon.com/RTL‑SDR-RTL2832U-Software-Defined-Computer/dp/B09KTH6CGM/
  15. Kahn Academy is good. https://www.khanacademy.org/ Covers a wide range.
  16. Yes, I've been reading that Rules of Origin related tariffs for EV's are supposed to kick in after this year. Could be related. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/eu-reticent-postpone-brexit-tariffs-evs-says-uk-auto-body
  17. It very quickly looks up UK road laws and signage, then navigates appropriately. It briefly wonders if the area was known for prostitution.
  18. It'll write something that sounds believable, but may not be correct. I do think it can give useful insight into a subject.

    I'm just wondering how long the next vote is going to take lol.
  20. Yeah Retroviruses are remarkable as they are able to insert their code into the DNA. There's also native transposable elements which can hop around. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874221 This is a good example of spaghetti versus structured code. Not necessarily 'bad' in this context, but does suggest a lack of deliberate planning.
  21. A good piece of evidence is how our DNA is all spaghetti code. It's what you'd expect to see from a semi-random process rather than an intelligent designer. You'd expect to find everything handled by our nuclear DNA too, were we designed. There's also simpler ways to handle errors than what amounts to lots of backup copies of the code. A very 'two steps forward one step backwards' approach.
  22. Yeah, ironically Disney wouldn't be the worst spot to take refuge. They're mostly dilapidated today, but people built a crazy number of true underground shelters here too. https://www.orlandoweekly.com/orlando/inside-the-forgotten-mount-dora-catacombs-the-nations-largest-subterranean-bomb-shelter/Slideshow/30946612/30868492
  23. Can build up soil around a structure to create a similar effect. Disney's tunnels are an extreme example, though high end homes and hotels will do it too sometimes.
  24. It was lot simpler than what life has evolved to become. Most of what we see today is in response to a harsher environment and other lifeforms. We're likely distantly related to crystals. Some bacteria use biocrystalization as a defense mechanism even today. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10403254/
  25. There's areas in the far North that were bad this year, with a climate change and El Nino tag team happening. Keep trying to convince relatives to at least buy a portable unit for emergencies. I shudder to think what their grid looks like though for handling a sudden large AC load. Storms ripping off roofs will be an issue in some areas.
