In Chinese legend, EmperorShennong was drinking a bowl of just boiled water because of a decree that his subjects must boil water before drinking it.[12] Some time around 2737 BC, a few leaves were blown from a nearby tree into his water, changing the color and taste. The emperor took a sip of the brew and was pleasantly surprised by its flavor and restorative properties.
The trick is to realize you also have tomorrow to accomplish your tasks. Much like Hilbert’s Hotel, you can simply shift your infinite stream of deadlines back one day to make room for today’s tasks on tomorrow’s agenda. Boom.
I don’t understand how conservatives can be so fucking stupid that they don’t understand that our entire planet and biosphere crumbling and dying beneath us will cost the economy.
Some would rather kick the can down the road. They figure they’ll die before shit gets real.
“Lied” implies intent, which is a very squishy subject. I’d prefer they stick to just the facts, please. I’m no lawyer, but I suspect you might be asking for libel suits if you claim somebody lied and can’t actually prove that they did so intentionally.
My favorite part was how her hair was in a beautiful and much more complicated knot in the premier episode, then it was a mangled mess after Voyager was thrown to the Delta Quadrant, but they make a show of her fixing it into the simpler knot with her bare hands while walking the corridors from one disaster to another....
Maybe I’m just too literal, but I have no idea what to make of the “no one:” part of these memes. Every time I see it, I feel like the joke works just as well without it.
Let’s do the math! If you assume there are 300 kernels, the popcorn will be finished within two minutes, and all kernels popping within 100 ms of each other is sufficient for a big bada boom…
There are 2×60×10 epochs where the bang could occur. Each of the 300 kernels needs to pop in the same epoch, so 1/(2×60×10) is the probability of the second kernel popping in the same epoch as the first kernel. The probability of all 299 popping in the same epoch as the first kernel is (1/(2×60×10))^299 = (2×60×10)^(-299).
Crunching the numbers in the Google search calculator… the probability is zero. That was anticlimactic.

I’m always confused by these kinds of assessments people make with some unrealistic test. Lumber for building a house doesn’t need to withstand bites from a human jaw!
Years ago, Tesla advertised solar shingles that could withstand a bowling ball being dropped on them. Why?! Hail is a thing, but bowling balls don’t fall from the sky.
Extending this concept, let’s say I want to sell you a new motorcycle I invented. I won’t demonstrate how well it rides or how fast it accelerates, but I will show you how deep I can submerge it underwater before the gas tank crumples — 4000 ft! Let’s see Harley beat that.
Would you consider RATM an authority on how I should feel?
I mean, fuck billionaires in any sense that actually matters. They shouldn’t get to hoard wealth while real people can’t afford housing, medical care, etc. At the same time, I refuse to laugh at a human being drowning to death. Literally nobody deserves that. I’m also morally opposed to the death penalty.
