Generation Slide Rule here. I remember using it mostly for chemistry class. I married someone who won a slide rule competition. I think we still have them packed away somewhere but if someone offered me a million dollars I couldn't think how to use it any more. In chemistry class? But you can't blo...

That's the same for me but weather forecasts here are a tease so it probably not.

Yesterday there was no rain for the first time in a week. That didn't last.

Just a nit to pick as it's driving me crazy listening to it on TV. I haven't heard one person pronounce it properly. It's Doe min I ca. Accent on the soft I.

I am not enough of a clueless youth to have owned a graphing calculator. My high school calculator was a TI-30 III. I may still have it in some box somewhere but have not had a need to try things like trig or analytic geometry. I just don't remember many cheerful facts about the square of the hypote...

When it comes to slide rules, I'm a clueless youth. When I was in middle school, all the cool geeks had calculators on their wrists. When I got to trig in high school, scientific calculators were already the norm.

I am a little confused. He is making it sound like this is a recent issue but the last 1,000-footer was launched over 40 years ago so having them cause wakes in channels should not be a new thing.

I have to admit with the current polarization of American politics, I'd be afraid of a system in which all local (county/city) police, fire, and judicial employees were State appointees sitting locally rather than being responsible either to the voters or elected officials of the local city/county....

J6 inmate Jake Lang announces tonight that 78 J6 defendants have just filed a class action lawsuit against 21 Capitol Police Officers for millions of dollars for injuries he claims the police caused them by using excessive force.

Election of Sheriffs, prosecutors and Judges and the resultant politicalisation of law enforcement and the justice system continues to baffle me. With so many examples of how flawed that is.. While I would want to agree, I also realize that appointed positions do not mean it is not politicized. A c...

I love this thread. I do miss seeing the ships going up and now the lake (when I lived up north I would see them every time I came over the hill into the town, and when I worked in the office down here, I could see the lake). In the future, iron mining will be done on asteroids, imho. There's more a...

If Biden were to agree with their demands, they'd just move the goalposts again.

Didn't Daniel Goldman make those remarks during a hearing on Capitol Hill? No; per the complaint : On March 21, 2024, shortly after Mr. Bobulinski’s most recent appearance before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability, Defendant posted on X , “Tony Bobu...

Grift and harass. Law and justice, are not part of their process.

Nothing a Sharpie can't fix.

Dafuq she talkin' about? God is clearly angry that tfg is leading the polls, and is expressing their displeasure. Repent! Vote for Biden! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GKafYHzXYAA0xV0?format=jpg&name=small And thus said Jesus, "Shit happens. Stop trying to look important by saying it must be...

Some of his music can be a bit predictable, but I still love it.

I love the use of the watch and the Shepard tone in Dunkirk (and his head nod to Elgar's Nimrod near the end).

Home schooling mishap? We should stop always blaming schooling or even homeschooling for everything. Stupid is as stupid does. We have idjits with degrees from Ivy League schools. They don't make these stupid claims due to lack of schooling but out of a lack of caring (about facts, people, the coun...

on their motion to expedite, they said: REASON TO EXPEDITE THIS MATTER Even before any respondent files a brief in opposition (“BIO”), the pleadings, record evidence, and petitioners’ amended allegations of jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1653 make clear that this Court can and should reverse th...

Waiving a response is so unethical that SCOTUS actually provides a form for that very purpose. As for them being mad because they did not reply to a motion to expedite, the response was not due until 17 April yet the respondents were nice enough to file their waiver not long after the motion to expe...

I learned order of operations in elementary or middle school. You don't need college for that, you just need to stop and think about what you are doing.

Generally, I dislike short-selling but in this case, I'm good with it. Turn it into a penny stock.

No blue checkmark for me. It can't be because I have had the account since 2009 and have 27 followers, and around 17 posts (not including a few reposts). Yes, I counted them but it was not a difficult task. As for replies, I guess if I take the 142 posts and subtract the 17 posts and the 5 or someth...
