Yes, but could he use brain worms as an excuse?

This post cracked me up!

But seriously, this is the way. Works even when the cable wasn’t properly marked with a USB symbol.

This was loaded in the winamp queue when you installed winamp. Take a listen.

Oh there’s much closer to home issues than wildfire on certain areas. Children’s IQ are dropping from ‘new car smell’.

Bayou Billy.

Maybe they have a screen with a higher resolution than yours? If I share my 1440p screen, others complain about not being able to read the text.

Oh, boomer typing. Gotcha.

Pretty sure you got it.

This is great. Coolguides is one of the best lemmy communities.

This reminds me a bit of Malcom Gladwell. He agrees to participate in a public debate without having any debate skills but since it was a topic he cared very much about and thought there’s no way anybody could be against it he’d win easily.

Anyway, he had enough humility to talk about getting destroyed in the debate on his podcast. Biggest swing in opinion in the long running series’ history. The episode talked about learning how to debate, which is something I always avoided to do myself. Learning to debate and keeping emotions out of it was very important and seem like excellent skills to learn.

Disney is dead. You’d have to freeze the brain with the chemical described in the paper protecting the tissue, otherwise tissues become mush when thawed.

Very interesting result but it’s sad reading about having a 9 month old baby’s brain tissue being cut up into 2-3mm chunks. I didn’t know that brain tissue extraction was used to treat seizures. With the retraction of some papers in China due to ethics of samples being taken from unwilling minority groups I was hoping to see a bit more about where the samples came from in the paper.

The article did link the research article so you could have read it instead of jumped to conclusions. In this case fertility rates are being defined as rate of infertile couples, or couples who cannot conceive. Specifically, the worry is that the global sperm count is declining, and that the decline is accelerating.

One Tap Bingo?

Don’t worry, the CEOs are working to pump those numbers way up.

Even delaying care doesn’t bring criminal charges, as seen in Alberta.

My first thought was ‘zombie work’ was a phrase for a job where you don’t have to think at all while doing it. Say a factory job like picking up rolls of tape and putting them in the tape dispenser.

Who knew that GeoGuessr was actually training people for a career in emergency services?

Never heard of garden path sentences before. Very neat! I loved the examples on the Wikipedia page.

Eg. The old man the boat.

It’s so short and I love it as the first example.

I hate paying others for what I could do myself. But I also realize my time is important and has its own value. It might be worth it to have someone else take a look at a task for me. Generalizing is nice, but specializing has its advantages.
