The Greatest Generation & Greatest Trek: Star Trek reviews with dick jokes and production notes
Joy, a Podcast. Hosted by Craig Ferguson
Love Worth Finding: sermons from Baptist minister Adrian Rogers
Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life: Presbyterian sermons
History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps: Peter Adamson goes over All. The. Philosophy. Ever. See the sister cast for non-Western philosophical schools.
You think so? Earth and the Sun are only about 5 billion years old, or 1/3 the age of the universe. Life is estimated to have appeared on Earth about 4 billion years ago.
Under the law of averages, life could have independently developed and reached comparable maturity to Earth at least two other, non-concurrent times. We're third generation at best.
Am manager, hate should.
Should presumes an ideal set of conditions with perfect context.
Could is a much better term as it implicitly accepts real world conditions and a lack of total context by couching the affirmation as contingent upon only the discussion (and prior references) at hand.
It's also due to social inertia.
Power companies charge by the kWh because their generators are measured in total output wattage and consumers consume at different wattages at different times.
Sure, it would be easier to measure in total joules consumed per period time but it would also be easier to measure with world standard metric units. The pain of changing is harder than staying the same, so muh freedum units.

I read the Endymion half of the Hyperion Cantos this year I think the whole series is tied for my favorite Sci Fi series, right next to the Expanse books.
1- Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons
1- Expanse series by James S A Corey
3- Bobiverse by Dennis Taylor
Honorable mentions: Fatherland by Robert Harris; Consider Phelbas by Iain M Banks
Does Sanders have enough life left in him to develop a far-left party? How will it differ from the existing left-leaning third-parties? How would the party stand out and "matter?" Relevant XKCD
I ask these things as a perennially disappointed minarchist classical liberal.
Is IoT LTSC a viable replacement for a Pro install in a home enviroment? I do a lot of remote desktop work to access the machine. It's either that or Linux with Proton to emulate Windows must haves at home.
Didn't select kids as extremely or very important.
Presumably there are seven choices:
The data is reporting the tail
What Are Some Good Books to Teach a Two Year Old How to Care for a New Dog?
Title. We’re planning to get the kiddo a puppy for Christmas and while reading Sterling, the Best Fork Dog Ever it occurred to me that I could blend in bits of wisdom about caring for a dog (no, puppies do NOT go in the dishwasher). Are there any other Pre-K level books that could be a fun bed time ...

Are there any other Pre-K level books that could be a fun bed time story while also driving home that doggies will drink water when they want, you don't have to force them to drink?
That depends, how far in the future, how big of an expense, how much interest can you earn, and what's inflation looking like?
If it's more than a couple thousand dollars more than a couple years out, you could possibly make useful money with a high interest bearing account provided inflation is expected to be less than about 2/3 of the interest rate of the account.
Time IS money.
Battlestar Galactica will always be my comfort apocalypse.
That sounds like exactly the app I've been looking for.
I imagine a lot of this could be explained by population growth, and physical and social mobility. There are flat out more people around so it's easier to find a partner you don't hate. There are also more people who are socially acceptable and accessible.
Income and net worth are different concepts though. You can have a car and be too broke to buy gas.
Also depends on our limits. $25,000 in liability will cost less than $250,000 in liability.
Beech-Nut baby food. They have a history of bad faith actions including multiple citations, years apart and after litigation no less, for "selling artificially flavored sugar water as apple juice."
No need to "grind down" a tire. The differentials will balance out the difference in torque.
I've been using DockSTARTer for years and it does what I need, when I need it.
If the goal is to learn, then go for learning Docker directly.
If the goal is to do it well and quickly, don't reinvent the wheel.
Are you sure that's not an artifact of the powerline data? I use RDP over a wireless bridge to do something similar and some days it's 10/10 perfect, others it's dogshit/10.
Is there any research on the possible market impact or fund volatility due to generational die offs?
Put another way: What happens to the S&P 500 when the Baby Boomers see a spike in death rates and their estate liquidates their assets?
Subscriptions Sorting By Letter Case
It appears that Sync sorts by numbers > Capital Case > lower case, as noted by !RimWorldPorn being sorted above !android rather than with !rimworld in the subscriptions list as I would have expected.
It's a small thing but just seemed odd. Is this intended?
App version is v24.03.26-14:56 (122)
How certain are we that Discovery went to THE future rather than A future?
Many times Star Trek has taken us to the future only to reset the status quo at the end of the story arc. Tapestry (but in reverse?), that time Voyager crashed in the ice, and all that.
How likely is it that Discovery went to a mutable future, just one of many, especially with the Temporal Cold War, Carl, Q, Trelane, Janeway, the HMS Bounty, and any number of other temporally active agents out there in time? How locked in is the 32nd Century?
