The tech was so cool. Flawed to a degree but still impressive.
But I am a sucker for a pair of big turbines.

So.The Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

So.OK there is a HUGE debate about every aspect of how the disaster went down and it's really fascinating and I have no idea who is right.

So.So.
You know how there are train foamers?
They have *nothing* on the Chernobyl foamers.
They found this Russian language forum with all the old engineers beefing with each other and translated it. They have simulations of everything.
The rebuilt ... THE TOY TANK ROVER.
I, of course am not a foamer for anything. I'm very normal about all topics.

Ants are the graph theory of biology.It's still math. There are still right answers. Especially for the combinatorics problems you do as you build up to some of the theorems.
It's just a lot of theorems are easy to state, sound reasonable but hard or unproven.

Ants are the graph theory of biology.every child is a node

Ants are the graph theory of biology.The "math most likely to make you mad" is continuum theory. But the math that will most reliably lead to a being fixated on it?
Graph Theory.

Ants are the graph theory of biology.* Anyone can understand some of the big questions in graph theory
* People think graph theory is "great for kids" for some reason (yeah if you want them to be obsessed with unproved theorems for their whole life)
* It's very easy to get very deep in graph theory and VERY lost. Easy to state problems with no solutions
* You just know it's all CONNECTED and it's going to drive you nuts forever -

The people of New York have a strange relationship to plants.There are less glamorous things that will grow in such places.

The people of New York have a strange relationship to plants.I'm not impressed if you buy them that big at the nursery. Which is what I thought they did. Until I started feeling depressed about the sorry state of my own cabbage efforts... how could they beat me with such healthy broad fractal edged green leaves and so little sunlight... and so many... additives?
Cheating. That is how.
-
The people of New York have a strange relationship to plants.BUT: that’s when I took a closer look, because the cabbages were even stranger than I had thus far suspected.
can you guess?
that’s right they were FAKE.
plastic cabbages!!
I don’t know if that makes me MORE or less angry. 3/3

The people of New York have a strange relationship to plants.Oh these were gorgeous purple, cabbages, already big and leafy: if they had been just placed in *my* roof garden, they would’ve formed the most lovely heads nurtured by vermiculture.
But no! these cabbages would languish in midtown Manhattan, get pissed upon by dogs and be inedible. It was infuriating.

They were growing in a tree box on the sidewalk in Midtown a place not a suitable most plants, especially a cabbage, and clearly someone had spent like a Sultan. These were big healthy transplants.

I find it interesting that there's loads of people who made a core part of their identity campaigning against trans women being in women's spaces and how it impacts women, who have gone completely silent about Grok being used to undress and brutalise w...Do I need to say “of course she is” —Do I need to say this isn’t how you treat a person?
I’m thinking of so many people who are gone forever without a whisper. I’m looking at every brash and angry conservative voice who is trying justice shooting a person for not being meek and wondering why they don’t realize they are vulnerable too.
Do we keep the gay republicans? the brown ones? what about the ones who can’t ignore mr. epstein?

Have you had enough?Oh LOL. I thought this was noneuclidian stuff. Which I love for the record.
