Ethan Seigel never does "clickbait’ articles. He does 100% educational articles. I actually didn’t know more than half of these things. Who the hell knew that Earth does not have the most water in the solar system?

When I tried to ballpark it looking at my starships poster they seemed like they might be about the same. But you could be right, the Breen Dreadnaught could be certainly be the bigger ship.

there is basically no relation what-so-ever between having health insurance and getting healthcare.

This is 100% false.

it doesn’t mandate care

Because of Republican opposition. The one and only way to get that is for the GOP to lose elections repeatedly.

The WP knows this and is trolling you. It has 0% chance of happening. It never should have been published. And it should have been completely ignored after it was published.

Washington Post editor is an idiot for allowing this column to be published in there paper. Especially since it has no chance whatsoever of happening.

Perhaps the dems should ask themselves why mandatory purchasing of insurance was the pinnacle of their accomplishment in the last 40 years and attempt to examine that.

It was not. Getting health insurance for an additional 30 million Americans was.

But sure fully embracing racial taxonomy and spending as much time as possible classifying people based on skin-tone, facial features, phenotypes, skull shape and literally anything besides class might work too.

Nope. That is just some idiot media pundit nonsense. Not so be taken seriously.

Most of them are with Trump, and that’s not going to change

This article is completely wrong. Why would white people be okay with Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump destroying the democracy that white people created? If Hillary Clinton had had a few grisly bikers mixed into the Muslim women behind her in crowds she would have beat Treason Trump in 2016. Dems need to take a lesson from Bernie Sanders and focus on things that all Americans want to see. Rejecting the majority would be the dumbest idea ever.

The scenes in the isolation chamber in underwear applying gel to each other were totally unnecessary

I thought so at the time but later realized that was a key scene of the whole entire show. You missed a lot of the nuance. That was where T’pol developed her crush on Trip. Her crush on Trip was the only reason she became the first Vulcan to be able to stay aboard a human ship for longer than a few weeks. And T’pol’s presence on the ship advising Archer was what made Archer so successful in laying the groundwork of the entire federation.

This blows my mind. It means that Neanderthals could have been building log cabins and their ancestors as well.

Interesting. I had not heard about the 2015 thing.

[SIPC instead of FDIC insurance - coverage is about the same]

You left out one detail. Technically if you have $100,000 in Money Fund A it means you hold 100,000 shares that are priced at $1 each. SIPC will protect you from losing your 100,000 shares but cannot protect you if the value of each share falls below $1. This is unlikely to happen, but is legally possible. There were some scares about this happening in 2008.

If you want to be rock solid safe you could choose a money market fund that is backed 100% by US treasuries, but you would earn less interest.

[More recent work has seen pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) such as NANOGrav successfully identify a specific flavor of gravitational wave known as the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). The SGWB is similar in concept to the cosmic microwave background—a consistent glow from the early universe that astronomers can see as a series of microwaves coming from all directions at once.]

First time I’ve heard of this concept.

Yes. The Cosmic Inflation universe grows exponentially bigger every tiny fraction of a second. And this has been going on for possibly billions or trillions of years or longer. The number of big bangs and pocket universes created by that is mind boggling.

Yeah. Can’t wait for more!

If I understand this correctly:

In the main Cosmic Inflation universe, new space is created exponentially with time.

In roughly 1 out of every 30,000 pieces of “new space”, a big bang occurs from a random quantum fluctuation. The big bangs slow down the inflation expansion in a local area that becomes the equivalent of a ‘pocket universe’.

There was perhaps an infinite number of big bangs (and dead pocket universes) in the past, and there will be an infinite number of big bangs (and new pocket universes) in the future.

His theory that homo sapiens and only homo sapiens suddenly developed language 70,000 years ago has no supporting evidence. And his assertion that civilized farmers were worse off than nomadic hunters is questionable at best.

Common mistake

He didn’t facilitate anything. Muslim Egypt could have allowed all civilians to leave Gaza but they didn’t. Muslim Turkey could have evacuated Palestine’s civilians by sea but they didn’t. Muslim Gazans could have overthrown Hamas but they didn’t. The main victims of Hamas are Muslim Palestinians. Only a fool would live anywhere that is controlled by Hamas.

And did you not know that there are plenty of Christians and non Arabs in Palestine too? No self respecting human being cares care only about 1 particular religion or 1 particular ethnic group. Do you know how ridiculous it is that Jews and Muslim are fighting each other because they have different imaginary friends? It will keep on happening forever until you rise above religion and value all of humanity.

[“In recent days, the New York Times/Siena College poll has gotten non-stop attention to the exclusion of nearly every other poll. But if you zoom out, you’ll see a more complete picture. There have been eight polls in the past three weeks showing President Biden leading or tied with Donald Trump,” Tyler said.]
