What about those who explicitly believe we can’t know if there’s a god (s)?

That’s strong agnosticism.

Lecture jokes are the worst. Especially if they put a cartoon on the slide, and then try to explain the slide.

“Ok, so this humorous cat, he’s saying he really hates Mondays. And today is Monday, I know we’d all rather be lounging like that cat. See his funny little face? And his whiskers… they’re all curled and… and the ears… But we’re here instead, thinking about orbital dynamics. And on that topic…”

“It was $2.99 when I picked it up.”

Watch a product for a minutes, clock the lowest it displays in that time, run in and grab it, “It was $2.99.”

Repeat for all 30 items in your cart just to annoy the store.

12 seconds? I struggle to finish in 12 minutes.

Damn IBS.

“…Employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so,” Ye and Ranganathan wrote of their in-progress research.

I have a milk allergy as well. I know her pain.

My I recommend getting into Asian food and trying vegan restaurants? Way less potential for accidents.

The year of the AI PC comes immediately after the year of the linux desktop.

Essentially the plot of Sausage Party.

I got an email from the Illinois Department of Public Health detailing the Illinois vaccine schedule for 2026. I’ve been practicing for 11 years and get periodic emails from them (food borne illness outbreaks, disease outbreaks, etc.) but this is the first time I’ve ever gotten a vaccine schedule from them. I expect to receive it early going forward.

Anyway, it was the same sensible, evidence-based schedule I’ve come to expect from IDPH, and matches what the CDC’s schedule looked like up until last year. I’ll have no trouble staying compliant with the IDPH guidelines.

Just make a fork on a different instance. If users like you better, they’ll migrate.

Of course he has, and anyone who thought he wasn’t was blissfully naive.

They can always hurt you more. The market turns right before you retire? Lol there goes your 401k. Meanwhile, their hedge funds have made enough shorting the market to keep them afloat until it bounces back.

As long as the market’s doing well, yes.

You borrow $100 at 3% against a $125 asset and then invest it in an asset that appreciates 10%. After a year, your debt is $103 against a $137.50 asset, and your asset you bought with the loan is worth $110.

You take a second loan of $88 against your new asset (80%). Your first asset is now worth $151 with a $106 loan against it. Your second asset is now worth $121 with a $91 loan against it. And you have an extra $88 to spend on top of it.

So after 2 years, you started with $125 in assets and now have $272 in assets with $194 in debt, for a net gain of $78, and have pulled out $88 in cash tax-free. Whereas if you’d just left the money in the market you’d have only gained $26, and would have to sell and pay taxes on it to actually access that money.

This is the essence of the “borrow, repeat, die” strategy. It gets more complex as you’re typically making minimum payments on loans and working with large sums of money, but this is the basic strategy. It works as long as your investment profile keeps generating interest, which is why the rich use hedge strategies and other tricks to keep the money flowing during recessions. But an unexpected downturn can have the bank suddenly margin call you when you’re underwater on your loan, and then you might be facing bankruptcy if you didn’t do it right.

Generally yes, but it depends. For example, there are no FOSS games that are anywhere near the AAA games from 15 years ago, let alone today. But things like browser? FOSS all the way.

“Congratulations on the winners, and I hope everyone had a great time[…]I hope you will join me next time for more Pokémon or drug fun!”

Yes, this was definitely the final exam and not a trivia game.

Eh, Jar Jar was a symptom of the problem, he himself was not a bad character. He fit in much better in The Clone Wars.

As a practicing family doctor:

Women whose hepatitis B status is negative should talk with their doctors about vaccination, the recommendation says.

“Your kid should should get the vaccine.” That was easy.

The panel voted 6-4, with one member abstaining, to recommend testing children’s antibody levels after each hepatitis B shot to determine whether additional shots are needed.

I’m not ordering unnecessary blood draws on an infant, that’s asinine. That’s two extra needle sticks to not change the number of vaccine sticks the kid gets at all (Hep B comes comboed with other vaccines, so they’d still get the exact same number of shots.)

Monk as well.
