Hawking gets a Covid sample from a time traveler in 2009 and immediately travels to the Wuhan lab to study it and look for a cure, he successfully delays the pandemic and he almost gets to a cure but a bad guy time traveler comes to kill him in 2018 and without the watchful eye of Stephen Hawking, the world falls to chaos.
I’d watch that movie.
Not for House or Senate. Age just isn’t a close enough metric for what you’re trying to fix.
If you’re concerned with age-related decline, vote them out if you see signs of it, or if they would reach whatever age your limit is during the term.
If you’re concerned about longevity in office, use term limits or reform campaign finance such that longevity in office doesn’t grant too high of an incumbent advantage.
SCOTUS, sure. I think Canada has appointments until 75. Does not seem meaningfully different from appointments for life except less randomness on open slots.
Real question is which came first, BBQ chicken or the Eggs Benedict?
I don’t like this because it’s not addressing the actual saying. Obviously the saying is about chicken eggs specifically.
But I’ve always felt obviously the egg came first. The first chicken was born in an egg, so the egg came first. That egg could have been produced from a creature with a mutation which caused it to produce the first chicken egg when it is not itself the exact same species.
Leave it to women, am I right?
Seems to be making the point that it would be kind of dumb to spread across the solar system just making the other planets just as messed up as what we are currently doing on Earth.
What does it even mean “one less account to track?” The money is still coming from a bank account, if you track the money in your account you would still have to account for a check, and it would be even worse if the check isn’t cashed right away.
Is it that you don’t have the monthly credit card bill if you send a check? But you’re spending the same amount of money regardless, checks are more like one-off credit card transactions, that don’t confirm payment like a credit card does. Checks are worse for the payment-neurotic. That’s maybe an argument for debit cards, it’s not an argument for checks.
The most interesting part is…what constitutes “him”? What if he became a prince by having his DNA from his father replaced?
Really thought this was going to be one of those “not you” memes.
I miss the Me Gusta face and also the Dodo bird.
It was blocked by frost so uhh does sound like that second thing.
A couple days ago my milk was all chunky when I tried to pour it in my cereal, because refrigerated air that was supposed to go to the fridge got blocked.
Milk wasn’t expired, just went bad due to a random mechanical issue over the course of the length of time the milk was being preserved.
Anyway, what’s all this about cryogenics?
It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out.
And Trump just copied the slogan from Reagan anyway.
I’m apparently the only person who didn’t like Conan on Hot Ones. Felt so forced to me. Conan is so good at the long form interviews and conversations and he doesn’t need prepared bits, I wanted a deep and delving conversation. Wonder if Conan was insecure about being on the receiving end of questions for once.
There are two main lineages of head lice that split up right around when humans left Africa. Theory I heard is that one probably came from Neanderthals and went back to humans as the two groups…met up.
But if Eastern Orthodox counts as “Christian” while Catholicism doesn’t, that destroys the reasoning. If Eastern Orthodox doesn’t count, then you’re just referring to Protestants.
I don’t think there’s any explanation other than anti-Catholic bias, Protestants just want to claim their way of doing Christianity is the only way.
Like the story of the dad that says “everything you do to her, I’ll do to you” but the legal system.
Let’s uh all take an AI safety class before we make an AGI that survives off the oxygen from human blood.
It is admittedly pretty weird that a whole group of species developed a baby-juice organ that is only used by the females to feed only the young babies.
