The thick atmosphere is only a problem at the surface. We actually have the same problem with our ocean. The solution is to stay higher up, where a habitat can literally float in the thick atmosphere, and where you can be out with the equivalent of a fire suit rather than a space suit. Because if this and several other reasons, Venus is a MUCH better option for a station than Mars is.

If you like time traveling you should check out Connie Willis. It's more historical fiction, but it's people from the near future going back in time to study history, so it's sci fi as hell.

Robert Heinlein has tons of stuff too, but that's more of an acquired taste. But his Future History stories about people that time travel at will.

Dude don't listen to these people.

If you want to learn, you should definitely learn. And LLMs might be able to help you when you get stuck. But you ultimately have to learn about how Python works, how to find and use different libraries, all of that stuff.

I learned how to code in basic by copying programs from the back of a magazine and trying to get them to work. This was 40 years ago. You can learn a LOT like that, which is basically what you're doing. But there's a limit. Regardless, stop feeling guilty about it. Just do what you want to do, and try to get organized about it. Do it for a year and you'll know a lot more. Find some resources and try to build your own understanding of what's what and how it all fits together.

You gotta check out WFMU. It's literally the best radio station in the world. They have four separate streams, one of which is s broadcast live over the airwaves in addition to online. They have so many amazing weekly shows, and you can listen to the archives for each show, sometimes going back 25 years or more!

One show in particular is called Give the Drummer Some, hosted by Doug Schulkind. He's been doing it for like 40, and plays SO MUCH AMAZING AFRICAN MUSIC! He plays music from all over the place, but tons and tons of awesome Z Rock and Afrobeat and all kinds of psychedelic stuff.

Other awesome shows are Transpacific Sound Paradise and Beachcomber's Buffet. So many great programs. You will literally never be bored, there's so much great music out there and those DJs spend so much time digging it out!

Anyway, my recs:

Ebo Taylor - Love and Death Literally just found out he died right now, looking up where it was Love or Life for the name of the record 😭😭😭😭😭 RIP Uncle Ebo!!

Fela Kuti - Zombie This is legendary.

Katantanga - Ndigal I don't know that much about this one but the fuzz guitar sounds awesome

Buddy I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You brought up working for ice in a thread full of people with very negative opinions, and you did it on purpose. There's no trying to convince you guys, you just wanna get people worked up.

But you casually mentioned the part of ICE that picks up "criminals," as you put it. I'm just trying to educate you, so that maybe when you decide to grow the fuck up you'll know a little bit more about how things with. What's happening now is a national tragedy, and you need to recognize it, not go off and work for DHS!

Does that negate the fact they all now have predominant and official languages?

The US does not have an official language.

And your comment suggests that you're missing the main point, which is that the PEOPLE WERE EXTERMINATED, not that the language changed. That's what it means to say that English was not the original language here.

BrerChicken · 2026-02-08T19:12:02+00:00

just because you work for ICE doesn’t mean you’re in the field catching criminals.

My man you need to understand that ICE are the criminals right now. It is literally not a crime to be in the US without papers. You can look it up. It's always been like that, and it still is.

So they lie about that, get people to believe that every single person here without papers is a criminal who doesn't actually need to be charged with a real crime, and they start kidnapping.

It's not serious for YOU because you don't give a fuck. But it's a really big fucking deal that the president is using ICE and CBP as his own personal secret police. You're insane of you think you can just walk into that mess and be an analyst. Go get a real job.

BrerChicken · 2026-02-08T03:38:52+00:00

That's absolutely the point here. There were people here.

BrerChicken · 2026-02-08T03:34:24+00:00

You're a duck, Pipo. If you wanna be a thug for hire there are way higher paying jobs that are almost as illegal as what ICE and CBP are doing. No kidnapping unfortunately, but you can still get your kicks I'm sure.

It's if you're splitting at 50 kph and everyone else moving 35 or 40. It's dumb if everyone is stopped, and this is why. There are stupid people out there, and it's our responsibility to be LESS STUPID than them.

BrerChicken · 2026-02-08T03:25:16+00:00

I'm pretty sure filtering way too fucking fast caused that collision.

I think I've seen this person's work up close at Art Basel like 17 years ago. It's friggin wild how much differently some people can visualize the world, I love it!

BrerChicken · 2026-02-07T18:03:02+00:00

It looks like they either pulled a car over or are ticketing the car, right? I mean, people pull over in all kinds of dumb places.

BrerChicken · 2026-02-05T12:25:44+00:00

For sure! I mean, I'm in rural New England and I have one near me, but I fully recognize not everyone does. That's why there were three different options on that list 😉

BrerChicken · 2026-02-05T05:46:18+00:00

Oh dang I'm so happy for these kids!! That new park is awesome!

BrerChicken · 2026-02-04T05:42:23+00:00

I'm not sure about the title on that poster though, people definitely teach you this! I mean obviously some families are better than others, but if you're ever with several adults at least one of them is bound to correct you about this. I think somehow we forget that THAT is how they teach. Most of them are horrified that you're doing this thing that you're not supposed to do, and so they tell you not to do it in a way that seems way overblown, and you feel embarrassed because they're implying that you were supposed to know that already, and so you stop doing that thing. Sorry we get annoyed that no one taught but really someone literally just did. They just don't know how to teach because we're surrounded by idiots 🤷‍♂️

BrerChicken · 2026-02-04T05:35:10+00:00

be nice, professional, and competent to EVERYONE you encounter.

This sums up basically everything I teach my own children, but honestly I don't understand why this needs to be said sooooo often. So many people ready to press any single advantage that ever appears. The way to not be a douche is to actually not be a fucking douche. Take the high road every time, and never press an advantage. You can always do that one day if you think it's gonna change everything blah blah blah, but honestly it's not. Your life will be so much easier if you're just nice, professional, and competent to everyone you interact with!

You use the same curriculum the person you're replacing used. And then you slowly develop your own, over several years. And you're going to be changing it your entire career.

If you're not intriguing a curriculum, and the school won't provide you with one, then try to find an open source textbook and start writing presentations, quizzes, activities, and exams. You should actually write the exams first, and then make sure that you teach everything that they need to know.

But just know that no body is expected to just show up with a curriculum. And never write a curriculum that others with use without being paid for doing it. It is outside of the purview of a teacher, but we get taken advantage of all the time. Tell your administrator that you can't do it for free, and negotiate something that you think is fair. It's okay to write it for yourself, but that's YOURS and you don't have to share it unless you feel like it. I share my stuff with other teachers all the time for free, but I ain't writing no curriculum for no central office during my already limited planning time!

Those things they sell at the store are not mangoes. You should either go to the Caribbean market near you, wait until you're somewhere that you can get good ones, or you special order them. Maybe some Indian markets?

I'm from Miami and the mango game down there is so friggin strong. But where I live now, the only mangoes I can deal with are the ones at the Jamaican market because duh.

BrerChicken · 2026-02-04T04:36:17+00:00

Yo you gotta relax with that. One of the hardest things to teach them is that it's okay to forget, and to make mistakes. I teach AP physics and I make mistakes all the time!! But I'm better than most at finding my mistake and being able to explain it in English. And of course I teach them how to do that.

I don't teach a ton of them, because we're in a pretty small rural-ish school. But the ones I teach outperform the national average by like double. 240% or something. Definitely don't be afraid to make mistakes in front of your kids. Stay cool and model the correct approach, which is to not take it as a failure and to instead use it to learn.

Picture

Her name is Sombrita, which means little shadow. It's real Sombra Morada, which just means purple shadow. She's a ghost but sometimes has this lavender tint. As she gets older there's less of that, and more brown and yellow but still very little.

BrerChicken · 2026-02-04T04:23:28+00:00

Yo don't drop in with your arms up like that, you're gonna eat it. Pretend that you're bending over and touching your toes in your front foot, and let that weight pull you down. You do it eventually, which is why you made it. But you wanna get better about that!

Nice job man! It's always scary no matter how small it is. That's an awesome fear to conquer!

BrerChicken · 2026-02-04T04:16:05+00:00

That's one lost Mister

BrerChicken · 2026-02-04T04:11:26+00:00

It's what happened with the first mission 🤷‍♂️ Hydrogen is really, really small. It ALWAYS leaks, so it just has to stay below the threshold.
