You need to read more Terry Pratchett.
Of course, everyone does.
I am a useless person with a PhD…
Are they hiring?

It has added some new jokes at the braai. Also spawned arguments about who wants Elon the least.
I live in an area that routinely has 70% humidity. My prints are consistently stringy, and I know it is because of the wet filament. I use an A1 Mini with AMS. Is there a solution, or am I doomed to stringy prints?
They can be cold as a frozen thermometer in December if you ask about the weather in July.
Yeah, I was enjoying some videos about dumb Steven Seagal movies, but then I realized that every single one would have jokes about women being bad drivers, being overly emotional, etc. At first I took it as a humorous way to look at Seagal’s misogyny, but then it became apparent that it was being applied in other cases where it didn’t make sense. It was subtle, in the context of the rest of the videos, but a definitely present part was the manosphere mentality.
We could have had the trans Pacific Partnership. Had it been signed, we would probably be in great shape globally, with trade securing peace and economic stability.
The endowments are earmarked for particular use. The grants allow individual researchers to do their research. University funding math is weird.
Yeah, my first thought when I saw this was that it was definitely not made by a scientist.
Depends somewhat on the particular negative. We can claim with certainty that dinosaurs are not alive today, even though there are theoretically places that are not sufficiently explored where, in principle, a dinosaur might live. We are well aware that the fossil record is globally consistent and demonstrates the timing of their extinction, as well as the lack of any fossils of dinosaurs since then.
Similarly, I can claim with confidence that a force does not exist in the universe that would allow me to teleport from place to place instantaneously, because such a force would violate many of the known laws of physics.
There are various types of god-beings that cannot exist because of a logical contradiction. An omnipresent entity, for instance, would be always detectable if it had any measurable effect on the world, but no such measurable effect can be observed. If it is not capable of a measurable effect, then it is indistinguishable from not existing.
Other types of negatives are not easily proven. That is why scientists will say things like, “Based on 3478 measurements, there is currently no evidence to support the existence of higher values than those reported here.”
What was going on five years ago?
The Russians have simply continued the count of the Soviet Luna missions.
I was at the conference he was supposed to attend - the Lunar and Planetary Science conference. There were a lot of people showing Los Alamos data there.
I love Tartu, but last I heard, the pay and funding sucked. How is it now?
Media during the election:
Kamala said “from” instead of “to” – does she have what it takes to lead the country?
Next up, how ripping apart trade agreements while pretending to be a truck driver is the what America needs.
