Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

"These data centers would leverage the cold temperatures of space to remove the need for energy-intensive cooling systems on Earth. They would also utilize 24/7 solar energy in space."

You know what two things never happen together? "Cold" and "direct solar illumination". You know what else never happens? "Cutting edge electronics" and "space-qualified".

Haha, the joke running around our very space-based office is "what? nothing is never made to be more cost effective by add the words 'in space" to it!"

Maybe there’s some nuance of phrasing here, but it doesn’t say β€œJesus became God”. It says β€œGod became man.” Do Catholics believe he was man before then? Or is the problem here β€œbeing born” vs β€œat conception”?

n-gram showing "chain migration" as a small bump in the 1940s-1960s, "birthright citizenship" as a bump in the 1980s and accelerating after 2000, and "anchor babies" skyrocketing after 2000. I'm gonna guess 9/11 was a factor

Supporters of Howardβ€˜s proposal did not respond by taking issue with Cowanβ€˜s understanding, but instead by agreeing with it and defending it as a matter of sound policy. Senator John Conness of California declared:

"The proposition before us . . . relates simply in that respect to the
children begotten of Chinese parents in California, and it is
proposed to declare that they shall be citizens. . . . I am in favor of
doing so . . . We are entirely ready to accept the provision
proposed in this constitutional amendment, that the children born
here of Mongolian parents shall be declared by the Constitution of
the United States to be entitled to civil rights and to equal
protection before the law with others."
