'Cause I’m drunk on a Thursday (Friday very early in the morning), and I’ve lost control of my life.
… Or you could just read a history book that wasn’t written by a Mao fanboi.
bucho@lemmy.oneto Global News@lemmy.zip•Liz Truss to ‘share lessons’ of her time in government in new bookEnglish11·2 年前Chapter 1: “Man, Lettuce Really Lasts A Lot Longer Than You’d Think”
Counterpoint: in December of 1903, the New York Times ran an opinion piece saying that Man wouldn’t unlock the secret of flight for at least a million years. 9 days later, the Wright brothers flew their first prototype airplane.
So, you know. Don’t count out those hidden breakthroughs.
bucho@lemmy.oneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state?English11·2 年前Gotta go with what works for you. But as a fellow cishet middle-aged white engineer, you could not pay me enough money for me to want to move to Texas. Or Florida. Or most of the middle of the country. If I were in your shoes, I’d be out as soon as I had the means to leave.
It’s the chemicals, actually. They turned the frickin’ frogs gay.
I’m guessing he’s wearing the Steven Crowder shirt, actually. It’s got that same picture of Che on it, with the same font. If that’s the case, the shirt’s full message says “Socialism is for f*gs”. The “is for f*gs” part is underneath Che’s face, and so is obscured in this image.
I would normally link to that shirt, but fuck Steven Crowder. Not gonna be responsible for driving traffic to that shithead’s website.
bucho@lemmy.oneto sh.itjust.works Main Community@sh.itjust.works•Question: Can I throw a squirrel faster than its terminal velocity?English1·2 年前Terminal velocity isn’t the fastest that an object can travel. It’s just the speed at which air resistance and gravity reach an equilibrium. So it’s 100% possible to accelerate something past its terminal velocity. Whether you’re capable of hurtling a pissed off ball of teeth and claws past that threshold is more a question of your abilities than it is of physics.
I love this guy’s channel. Two of my other favorite things he’s done are: Uppest Case / Lowest Case, and that time he Reverse Emulated a NES.
