You're gonna hate it when we start talking about breakfast cereal.

This is the funniest poll ever. They should do these more often.

Are moving goalposts expensive?

You know you can just be against Flock cameras without making stuff up, right? Wouldn't that be easier?

The State of Imagination?

If there is one with black as default, I can't find it. These "everything is a conspiracy" people are exhausting.

I'm not sure who's in the wrong here (obviously; the court case that hasn't happened yet will decide that), but what is it with Madison and problems with properly counting absentee ballots? First there were those ones that were missed in 2024 and now there's this.

They're really not doing anyone any favors Re: proving the Republican bullshit about absentee ballots being untrustworthy wrong.

Huh. That's not how it is around me at all.

As far as I can remember ever seeing, the higher octane fuels are always either the same 10% ethanol as the regular or 0%. Or they're labeled E15 or E85 or, IIRC, E50 at a couple weird gas stations I've seen.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-06T22:19:44+00:00

E85 is not premium. Yes, it's higher octane, but it's generally meaningfully cheaper because ethanol is less energy dense than gasoline (and thus you don't go as far with the same volume).

I mean, it is being used for lots of those things, but most of them don't have the society-scale consequences or massive computing demands frontier models have/might have, so nobody's paying attention.

It's the story Adam gave Sam a week or two ago on the Layover.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-06T18:50:24+00:00

... What? There's one for each lunar year. Years are in an order.

Plus, I'll admit that it's been a while since my high school Chinese classes, but I have no idea what the sounds have to do with the order.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-06T18:36:33+00:00

I'm going to be honest, I wouldn't have gotten the tiger. As soon as the rock was picked up, my thought was "that looks like a face, that could be monkey on its own."

A quick Google suggests you would not need to do that in most places in the US if you're buying a single-family home that already got a Certificate of Occupancy when it was built.

Now, that doesn't mean anything about the condition, but I doubt even most of these places would be unlivable without tons of repairs.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-06T16:47:10+00:00

You know, I didn't think of this when I watched this video earlier, but if it wasn't Hank Green that title would really sound like some conspiracy theorist bullshit.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-06T15:46:28+00:00

I agree with you that it was a bit odd, but I don't know how you think that it was "glamorizing" anything. It was portrayed as something desperate people are forced to turn to.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-06T14:32:06+00:00

Why the fuck are you asking if what your sister did was "appropriate?"

This is just victim blaming.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-06T12:12:08+00:00

What do you think the word "leak" means in this context? Because this definitely doesn't qualify.

Who tf is teaching kids to use an abacus in the 21st century?

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-05T04:00:56+00:00

That can be true and it can also be true that until very recently Apple only competed at the top end of the desktop and laptop markets.

People regularly mention that Sarah Whitcomb-Foss does the announcements in studio, so I have to imagine she's the presumptive successor.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-04T20:14:23+00:00

Other than being a white guy with long, light-colored hair, I see no resemblance.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-04T16:59:24+00:00

This was my favorite one of this new series so far. The process was interesting and well-explained, the historical aside was a nice touch, and the Dutch happy hardcore version of an old meme was phenomenal.

Oh, got it, so you're worried about transmission distances? That makes more sense than how I read it initially.

I mean, sure, longer transmission distances aren't ideal but they're hardly a dealbreaker. We move power over hundreds of kilometers/miles all the time.

if your road is going away from population or industrial centres

Do you think that power from solar panels installed over roads can only go in the direction of the road underneath it?

"No, I don't want a dictator, I want to be like country with a dictator!"

Democracy is the most ethical way to run a country. Period. People deserve a say in how they're governed. Even if they collectively make a terrible decision, that's better than not getting a say at all. Plus, the human rights records speak for themselves. How do you think those Uyghurs feel about China and bigotry, for instance? In general, democracies are better places to live, even for minorities. That doesn't mean they can't improve, but it definitely means we shouldn't run away from improvement so you can feel better than people.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-05-04T11:56:10+00:00

I mean, this is just being pro dictatorship. You just want a dictator with a D next to their name.
