I don't do connections any more but I think a big part of it is dividing all sixteen of the words into four groups. If you have a set of words A1 A2 A3 A4 B1 etc to D3 D4, and you find that you can put A2 B1 B2 D3 into a group that makes sense, that will leave you with B3 and B4 to match up somehow

I called rho "p" for like six years because an undergrad instructor steered me very wrong. P equals M V, we all were told.

It was a long time ago they didn't have wifi yet

Arguments about rhyming slang

The Limey? He lets Peter Fonda live at the end, though he does a lot of damage along the way.

This has gotten surprisingly little attention — it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now — but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane

That reads to me as a joke, a variant of the "does Putin have the piss tape?" thing

Ah! I'm not familiar (it never gets talked about!)

"Made a bajillion dollars" and "never gets talked about" and "came out after you had done significant design work on Dresden" is such a small overlap on the Venn diagram that I can't guess what game you're talking about and even though it's tangential to your point it bugs me now

Hmm yeah

Oates: [extinguishes candles with a sword flick]
Oates: so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates
Musk: datsa not true!
Musk: i sleepa in a racecar, do you?

"Girlnobody" and "girlanyone" both give me a pause I don't experience with say "girlsemiotics."

There's a beat where the bunny cop tricks the fox into providing her with a very then pretext for trespassing without a warrant, and the film presents this as the bunny being plucky and clever and not as too lazy to get a warrant

These guys really think we're stupid.

If self-deprecation was a competitive sport, I probably wouldn't even get a medal.

get off social media mike

Nightmare employee experience and speaking personally, nightmare customer experience too.

Fuck off Target. Fix your DEI policies, pay your employees more instead of regulating their emotions, then apologize for 10 years. Until then, eat boycott bitches!

DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments “People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

There will be no AGI, there will be no colonization of mars and no robot helpers, not made by any of these people, because they don’t make anything, they manipulate stocks and build houses of cards with shell corporations

I know right!

The Craft Sequence is everywhere for those with eyes to see, but it is especially in Delaware

Extraordinary how many establishment Democrats really wish they didn't have a talented rising new star who connects to people by talking to them and understanding what their interests are, then speaking to those interests. Like a job where the new guy makes everyone look bad simply by doing the job.

every science news article is like "chinese researchers invent cure for hurting your back getting out of bed" and every science policy news article is like "uncomfortable bed lobby successfully lobbies trump admin with $500 bribe"

Retailers Dealing With Increasing Levels of Theft and Violence Report emphasizes importance of preventive measures, coordination with law enforcement

can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

Much as with Trump, it's completely frustrating to watch otherwise intelligent people see the right engage in a well worn strategy that has yielded incredible levels of success and ask "why are they doing this? Are they stupid dum dums?"

Augh typo, that should be hecto not hepto, I post to Bluesky quarterly you'd think I could manage to be correct at least

Just ask yourself which is bigger: a meter or a centimeter?

Pet peeve: "centimillionaire" and "centibillionaire" to describe people with hundreds of millions/billions of dollars. SI prefix centi- means 1/100th, so a centimillionaire is someone with tens of thousands of dollars. The SI prefix with the desired meaning is hepto- as in heptomillionaire

I really do wish people would notice that the “trans women in sports will dominate and that’s unfair” brigade has literally no good examples.

If the best example you can find is that a trans swimmer tied for fifth, I’m pretty sure your point is just wrong.
