Reminded me of this youtu.be/CIO25v3u2EU

It's from an Onion story. They're not that dumb. Yet.

In 1963 the US govt spent 2.5% GDP on research in America. This was on top of what business spent on research, and was not conflated with business "spending" on research by bundling in expenses like advertising into their research budgets.

That spike in 1963 has driven our economy for decades.

Us science nerds had "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."

Agree with point about refocus on mission rather than growth. Especially with the coming "demographic cliff."

At the same time, I think a lot of departments could stand to cut down the number of PhDs they churn out. I don't think this will necessarily impact the quality of science.

Maybe NIC was doing a really bad job with email servers. I won't be surprised. But of course, kicking some nice govt. contracts to a "friend" of the party in power is probably another reason.

Greg on X: "She’s been a main driver of VE polarization, both nationally and within the opposition. Hardline, uncompromising, unwilling to negotiated or support a soft socialist opposition, has led her to depend on US to prop up her power, now with assist from Nobel. One step closer to war." / X She’s been a main driver of VE polarization, both nationally and within the opposition.

She's not so great herself.

You don't forgo the standard deduction. You can deduct tips under this regulation even if you don't itemize.

That's not true. It's available whether you itemize or take the standard deduction. Quoting from the article (emphasis added):

"The deduction is available to taxpayers who itemize **and** to those who take the standard deduction, though it phases out for higher-income earners."

@zigzackly.bsky.social Saw this pic of Remo Fernandes recently and you could pass as a reasonable double for him. 🤣

New season out soon too.

I think they're flower mites.

What is this FUD? I'm sure we already talked about the Protonmail CEO-Trump thing before.

That being said having alternatives and choice is always good.

Trump’s Deals With Top Colleges May Give Rich Applicants a Bigger Edge

“Any selective admissions process that ignores income, privilege & structural access while targeting race‑based efforts to increase diversity isn’t leveling the playing field. It’s cementing it.”

Sugarcane burning is a plague on these Black Floridians “I like to call it 'structured' racism.”

Today I learned that when sugarcane farmers burn their fields, a “black snow” falls for months on communities downwind. Under FL law, burns are prohibited when the wind is blowing into wealthy, white neighborhoods. They’re only allowed when it’s blowing into poor, majority black areas.

Oh my G, let's hope no one flicks your joke.

Mom made sure my brothers and I could cook. And I lived alone for a few years so I had to feed myself. 😛

Guesswork is not a bad thing. But you have to keep track of what you did before that worked and build on that.

An electric rice cooker is pretty versatile especially since you don't have to futz around with timing. I've cooked chicken with rice in one too.

Counting whistles is just a shortcut because people didn't have a way to time it. The principle of cooking under pressure is holding the food at high temperature and pressure for a specified time. In a way, whistling is actually bad because it releases pressure.

There's a few out there but they're all pretty much made up estimates since it depends on the size of your cooker. A minute here or there won't affect the cooking.

In general, white rice is about 4-5 minutes under pressure. Yellow dal is about 6-8 minutes. I guess you can work backwards with that?

Target - children's magazine published by the India Today group. I loved reading the stories and Detective Moochwala was a favorite.

I don't think it's easy at a small scale with stuff you have at home. Maybe acetone (nail polish remover) may help with separating plastic from foil. For paper and foil maybe soaking in water might help dissolve whatever glue holds them together.

Bit of column A, bit of column B for most.

This guy though has been a racist for a long time.
