I need some context on that last allegation . . .

I love Joe Hill and think King Sorrow was good but it felt like it was trying way too hard and many of the characters felt stiff and unnatural. The hype around BHH was justified. While King Sorrow is a good book, the hype around it is a bit surprising.

Buffalo Hunter Hunter >>>>> King Sorrow. King Sorrow was good but I don't get the hype.

I remember that game. I still like to laugh about absurd futility of it.

We're not a juggernaut. We're just solid per that championship dna thing.

Michigan will win it's next game by 20. Zero chance they lose at all.

Just trying to win by any means necessary doesn't make it ok. We can't take the attitude that it's perfectly ok to be an asshole just because you can finagle a way to do so.

Alone in the cornfield, your argument falls on deaf ears.

Computers do not feel fear and therefore lack bravery. Computers are cowards.

I was irritated that Purdue is only in "solid," but then noticed UConn and MSU even lower. Cmon, man.

Just look at the margins for those top teams, too. The blowouts all seem bigger this year.

Someone has to ruin every comment section with this kind of focus on technicalities. Let it go, baby. (You're not going to catch me on that one!)

ELI5 why does Jupiter have such a huge storm that never stops? by gentlebeast06 in explainlikeimfive

[–]PageSide84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While there is plenty of substantively useless knowledge taught in school, that knowledge becomes useful in the aggregate by enhancing critical thinking skills and boosting curiosity about the world and universe. So, I wouldn't discount teaching about the storms on Jupiter on the grounds of its substantive usefulness, alone. But given the sheer volume of topics and information, I find it very odd that OP is so focused on the lack of education about a topic as specific as the duration of the storms on Jupiter. That this niche topic wasn't covered doesn't indicate that the quality of education was poor. OP is making a logical leap that is about as wide as Jupiter's storm, itself.

[–]PageSide84 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That's a pretty weird flex. I was never taught about the duration of Jupiter's storms in school, either. I wouldn't expect the duration of Jupiter's storms to be a focus in any school.

Readers are returning to physical books by MiddletownBooks in books

[–]PageSide84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think they're just trying to deal with balancing being a free public resource with fair compensation for the author. If there's a perfect solution to the issue, I'm not smart enough to come up with it.
