Yeah, the witness statements are how I figured out Michael Shellenberger, historic witness #4, is the author of San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities and Apocalypse Never: How Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All.
I want to believe and all, but this ain't doin' it.
As much as I wish this shit were real, that's a pretty lousy witness lineup. The guy making the rounds selling a book. And who the eff is Michael Shellenberger and why is he testifying?
Oh, but wait, there's a guy from NASA! He's an associate director (!) who handles..."space policy and partnerships."
What a joke this shit turned out to be.
Edit: Allow me to answer my own question, Michael Shellenberger's illustrious biography includes writing the books San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities and Apocalypse Never: How Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All
Fyi, on arcade cabinet high scores, the three characters provided are just enough to spell out ASS, if you've got the gumption.
I know I shouldn't, but I'm bad!
I doubt anyone can prove they're AI.
No, but I need to and will when circumstances allow. I recently started a new job after quite some time and will now see to my various health-care needs ASAP. Murica.

Can a Four-Year Degree in Any Hard Science Realistically Get You a Good Job?
I've long toyed with a mid-life pivot into a different field. Mostly, I lean towards IT as the most practical for me, but I love the idea of finally studying a hard science, which I grew to love, but never really got a good formal education in.
I've heard/read, for example, that there aren't necessarily tons of astrophysics jobs out there, so if you only have a bachelor's degree, you might have a tough time. I don't even know that this is true, but I use it as an example.
What are the hard science fields that would be the opposite of this? I could imagine there might be a lot of Chemistry-related jobs, for example, maybe? But I have a hard time imagining what you could do with a pure Physics degree (without also focusing on Engineering or something supplementary)? Would Biology get you anywhere by itself?
Or is it just the hard truth of all hard sciences that you're pretty much worthless with just a four-year degree, from a job perspective?

There's a lot of gold for a 2:00 clip, but my favorite subtle part is that he appears to throw a frisbee for her to fetch at 0:55, after telling her to scram and just before telling her she has a great ass.

It's just so cool. I would love to compose a piece of music on a punch sheet for one of these--like a precursor to MIDI that's arguably superior (in that it features real, physical instruments).
Also sort of the "AI will destroy music" of the early 1900s.

Kind of random, but I've always enjoyed this. She's absolutely pitch-perfect and her voice pierces the room despite no microphone and being recorded on a crappy cell phone.
I love the hushed awe and participation of everyone in the bar. Would have been a magical moment.
Does the Barnsley Fern have anything to do with actual ferns or is it just a fun coincidence?
I find fractals extremely fascinating and way, way, way out of my depth. One example being the Barnsley Fern, which I find so cool. It feels a bit like someone cracked a little piece of the Matrix code.
But is there anything really significant about the fact that it looks like a fern from a botanical/mathematical perspective? Do the two connect in any real way? Can we somehow find the math genetically or learn something about the mathematical properties of other leaves, for example? How "real" is it?
If I could make an oak leaf from fractals, would it advance mathematics and/or botany or would it be equivalent to creating a cartoon using Geogebra (nice to look at, but basically meaningless)?
Any good sources/tips for streaming NFL games starting tomorrow?
In the past, I've relied on whatever stream I happen to be able to find through whatever sketchy site and it's really frustrating.
Are there any legit, reliable ways to catch NFL games as they're happening (ideally that don't require a cable subscription/tuner card)?

I would describe it as Napoleon Dynamite meets Mister Rogers directed by Wes Anderson.
It's a lovely show that got cancelled after 3 seasons, but the seasons they got were really special and worth watching. There's a very subtle, sweet storyline throughout the story that isn't immediately obvious if you just jump around via clips.
In ancient Rome, a "Fresh Laundry"-scented candle/deodorant would have smelled like pee.
Inspired by this video, which someone posted recently.
And, yes, this is a legit showerthought!
