1 year old direct apple refurbs are available at 850 for the value hunters out there.

My beef is that all of their devices have a lifespan of 7 years. Makes it hard to justify from a right to repair mentality.

To steal the words from anyone who has escaped the modern gravity wells of self loathing, self awareness, and self centeredness in order to see who you really are: I love you. Thank you for blooming in the way only you can.

To steal from Hollywood: If all that was left of you was your smile and your little musings, you'd still be more of a beautiful woman than anyone I've ever met.

To steal from proverbs: the mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master.

This is probably not sufficient for certain species with large spatial requirements like apex predators, but 'bottling up' natural time capsules can benefit both science and tourism aspects for the entities that construct them and maintain the macro/micro life barrier.

I often think on how we view invasive species. Humans accelerate the movement and clash, but the genie has been let out of the bottle and this war of species is not an unnatural process. Instead of fighting the battle everywhere, we should consider constructing historic time+space zooflora domes.

Had a landlady that made 2 fresh feeders of sugar water for the hummingbirds daily. The birds found the food source reliable enough that they haven't migrated for 10+ years and rely on her hot IVs through the cold flowerless winters. This year she's selling the house. This year they migrate or die.

two photos of a happy woman (the top half of her head is cut off by the top of the photos) wearing 2 different t-shirts, one that has maxell (in red) floppy disk (in black) printed in large font on it and another one that reads:
not all disks are created equal. some are better than others. to find out what's best for you, look for maxell disks. maxell disks meet or exceed every definition of quality. no matter who establishes it. (in red font) maxell

photo of a man in a cap and trenchcoat, smiling while handing over pirated amiga floppy disks to a man (censored face) handing him money from his wallet.
caption text above:
our reporter managed to catch the elusive dan on camera. he's luring unsuspecting amiga users into his web of illicit activity. sure, it looks glamourous and tempting, but once you start copying disks it's very nearly if not actually impossible to stop.

Thank you for sharing this. Incredibly cool and dense. I had to pause at the cancer cell discussion and zoom back in (or out?) because my mind jumped to sociopolitical events.

This is a fantastic watch!

I like how Michael Levin gives talks like he just traveled from the year 2040 and has to impart as much information as possible before heโ€™s yoinked back into the future

Normalizing physical and digital traffic. Smoother commerce. Improved life expectancies with less peak stress on first responders and medical sector. Easier data analysis with outliers being more visible. Perhaps our ability to contend with infrastructural irregularities would degrade.

If you could push a button and normalize time of day agnosticism but by doing so you normalize time of week/year agnosticism (no weekends/holidays) would you do it?

On this accusation of ad hominem I had to check: questioning a person's underlying logic is not an ad hominem attack if it is focused on the argument's validity. Ad hominem attacks raise arguments of irrelevance!

We both learned something today. :) our discord bears fruit.

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and patience. Your intentions are noble, but the logic patterns below could use some improvement. This is not an insult- we are all imperfect! I sincerely wish you the best.

Sorry, your initial comment said there's no way to know actual risk because crashes are self-reported and I merely wanted to point out the hypocrisy in that statement as all other crashes are also self reported!

So the data is equally 'meaningless' or 'auditable'.
