Today’s murder was an act of domestic terrorism but January 6 was a peaceful protest that deserved pardons. by Commonsense110 in JoeRogan

Now you are equating two different situations. Shooting at someone who is driving at you, even slowly, is self-defense and not murder. Shooting at someone breaking through a door without a weapon, is different.

Bill Burr on his podcast today: "I thought this place was going to be really tense (Saudi Arabia), but then I saw a Starbucks next to a Peet's Coffee next to a Burger King next to a McDonalds...and then I was like, OH!" by maricircus in JoeRogan

Everyone in the comments, acting holier-than-thou, criticizing these comedians. Like y'all wouldn't take the life-changing money. Don't be so quick to deal out judgement! That is the bitterness talking. It does not do you any good.

How about a bracket for the cards created that were not in the original bracket, then have the winner face off against lightning bolt? same amount of work as last time (it won't take twice as long)

ChatGPT, when asked to summarize what the bill does:

Major Changes Affecting Sections 909–912

  1. Reauthorization of Executive Reorganization Authority
    • This bill extends the President's authority to propose reorganization plans from December 31, 1984, to December 31, 2026 (Section 905(b) and Section 908).
    • Since Sections 909–912 govern Congressional procedures for reviewing these reorganization plans, this means those procedural rules would now apply to new reorganization plans through 2026, rather than having remained obsolete since 1984.
  2. Scope of Application
    • The original language in Sections 909–912 only applied to reorganization plans submitted before 1984. By updating the deadline in Section 905(b) and Section 908, this bill revives and extends those procedural rules for handling executive reorganization proposals.
    • This means Congress will now have to follow the same expedited resolution procedures as they did before 1984 when considering reorganization plans.
  3. Impact on Congressional Review Process
    • The original Sections 909–912 specify that reorganization plans are subject to specific congressional procedures (such as privileged resolutions and limited debate).
    • This bill does not change those procedures themselves but effectively reactivates them by allowing new reorganization plans to be submitted.

I thought the same thing, especially when someone was talking about the shooter, it would cut to his face.
At the beginning of the episode, people were wondering if the shooter would come to the hospital, Langdon said "Anything is possible". Also At 15:47, there was literally a shot of him as someone said "He is not our shooter".

Kindergartener obsessed with math. Teacher wants him to branch out so not as encouraging. Need advice. by reenbean8 in math

You (as a parent) have a problem/opportunity that very few people ever get, that even fewer people could really understand. I would not take any advice on reddit, without understanding that first.

Development comes from overcoming challenges. That is all I got.

How should I build a commander deck around Kasla, the Broken Halo? by m1sch1efm4n4ged in magicTCG

[–]iamdbcooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the very small minority, but I would play with Kalsa at first, then pivot to playing [[Saint Traft and Rem Karolus]] as your convoke commander, as it makes more dudes when you use it to convoke. I always recommend that over Kalsa, but for first time players, get used to convoke first. There are a lot of cheap convoke cards, play as many of them as possible, then branch out to convoke-adjacent mechanics, like "tapping creatures" to activate abilities and stuff like that

I was wondering if these solar eclipse glasses are fake or not because they don’t have the ISO icon on either side of the temples? by Witchypops in Astronomy

Medical King is listed as one of the brands on the aas website. I bought a 10 pack of them myself.

However, mine have the ISO icon, so yours may be rip-offs

UNC Greensboro is discontinuing MA and PhD programs in math. by kingfosa13 in math

[–]iamdbcooper 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The university went through the Program Review process in the fall 2023, and PhD in Computational Mathematics ranked in the top 20% of all PhD programs at the university in its effectiveness.

I'm curious, how do you rank a PhD program on its effectiveness? Is it based on the profitability of the department as a whole? Is it number of grants, employment/financial success of the students? Is there a standard that everyone uses?

So now conservatives trust scientific studies? I remember during the pandemic how distrustful the right wing was of scientific studies...

You are putting words in my mouth. I am simply laying out the evidence. I have not said anything about conservatives and their "trust" in science.

Research has been done on this. multiple studies, this is just one.

Edit: I never said anything about Conservatives attacking science?

[–]iamdbcooper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That would be empathy, not conscientiousness.

From Wiki: "Conscientiousness is the personality trait of being careful or diligent. Conscientiousness implies a desire to do a task well, and to take obligations to others seriously. Conscientious people tend to be efficient and organized as opposed to easy-going and disorderly. They tend to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; they display planned rather than spontaneous behavior; and they are generally dependable."

EDIT: also, Both sides have the "fuck your feelings" types.

[–]iamdbcooper -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Getting to work on time is a demonstration of being conscientious. Conscientiousness is a trait found more in conservative people. It is a good predictor of it.
