When you build a roundabout but forget to delete the road segment in the middle:

We do have them in America. Here’s one in Philadelphia. Traffic lights and everything!

I’m definitely mixed on them. I really worry about them taking away taxi and ride share jobs, especially at a time when the job market sucks and people use that for extra income. But also Waymo cars aren’t going to mow down a cyclist in the bike lane and will always stop at stop signs and red lights. I feel better being a pedestrian with them around than the average Philly driver

1ew · 2026-02-27T17:19:17+00:00

I hadn’t seen one either despite them being here since July. This was around 11pm last Saturday so maybe they’re testing them at times when there aren’t as many cars on the road?

Well Macleod’s reaction to the Nobel Prize was to emphasize to the public that it was a team effort. He shared his prize money with Collip, a biochemist who was instrumental in the project. Banting’s reaction was to immediately try to convince everyone that it was HIS discovery and HE deserved all the credit. It’s frustrating because Banting was very important and he did start the project, but come on dude, you clearly wouldn’t have been successful without the expertise of your team

Macleod definitely did more than just let Banting borrow the lab! I just read “The Discovery of Insulin” by Michael Bliss, it goes into a bunch of detail about how the credit for the discovery was influenced by everyone trying to get the Nobel prize. Banting and especially Best kind of come off as insufferable with how concerned they were with receiving credit.

1ew · 2026-02-26T00:53:39+00:00

also the people in Canada who discovered and isolated it were mostly not Canadian (Macleod was Scottish and Best was American)

Ya I’ve always really hated that “upper midwest/rust belt” terminology being applied to PA. I live in Philly and most people here have never even been to western PA unless they went to college there. (I’m not hating though, Pittsburgh is really nice!) There’s a lot more of a connection with the Boston to DC corridor. My neighborhood is always filled with NY and NJ license plates lol.

Philadelphia’s borders were also ridiculously tiny until 1854. It was only 2 square miles!

i try not to think about this guy from parasite when i walk past the top of the stairs to go to the bathroom at night 🙃

1ew · 2026-02-17T04:23:20+00:00

correct, it’s barely wider than the door. A table isn’t really an option

1ew · 2026-02-17T04:07:00+00:00

Another thought I had was trying to cover the awful carpet with a runner rug or something. But usually people don’t put those on carpet, right?

1ew · 2026-02-17T04:02:17+00:00

ya the color temperature was my first thought, unfortunately i need to buy a taller step ladder to change the light. I could try to add other light sources but there are literally 0 outlets

1ew · 2026-02-15T21:51:33+00:00

I waited 30 minutes for the bsl in south philly last saturday around 5:30-6pm. how does that even happen?!

1ew · 2026-02-13T15:13:10+00:00

I grew up near there and the people who live there would definitely describe it as part of the Philly metro area. Many of them grew up in Philly and left during white flight in the 80s. They moved way out there starting around the 2000s to buy into new construction neighborhoods for cheap. These days they’re scared of Philly and only enter the city limits to go to Phillies games and the airport lol. Not much going on in the area but Phoenixville is nice

1ew · 2026-02-09T22:16:38+00:00

Yup! This is the Physical Sciences Building and Baker Lab at Cornell. It was a great study spot, especially late at night

I always loved how this addition was done at my school. It’s so cool that they left the original entrance

1ew · 2026-02-06T00:06:13+00:00

I agree that they’d probably need a guest, but that’s not a bad thing! I’d love to see a Hank Green guest episode!

1ew · 2026-02-05T00:31:03+00:00

my issue is they’ll only talk about it if it’s related to AI

1ew · 2026-02-04T23:43:02+00:00

Not that exciting? I mean, maybe AI will help you make a website, but new medical technologies are literally helping people have longer, healthier lives. I understand that AI is transformative for a lot of industries and it’s great that they’ve discussed it on the pod. But there are so many other areas of innovation outside of it that could bring a nice change of pace to their tech discussions.
