I offered this elsewhere, but I just finished The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga. It introduces the reader to the philosophical and psychological concepts developed and popularized by Alfred Adler. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it to be possibly transformative for my own life and outlook.
“Star investors and entrepreneurs” is putting it nicely.
“Was this thing always cast in shitty gold plastic?”
They should name the 18 year old perpetrator in the interest of public safety. The reason given in the original article strikes me as odd:
It also is not identifying the 18-year-old, since The Tribune typically does not cover such cases.
I’m real fun at parties.
A party attended by some Fediverse-literate doomers / realists? Sign me up!
You really shouldn’t be falling for the ol’ “pool on the roof” thing by your second term.
From the article:
The Earth’s rotation is influenced by the core and the atmosphere, according to Scientific American.
The science magazine says that the core’s spin has been slowing, though for unknown reasons, meaning that the rest of the planet must speed up to compensate.
“The core is what changes how fast the Earth rotates on periods of 10 years to hundreds of years,” Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told the magazine. “The core has been slowing down for the last 50 years, and as a result, the Earth has been speeding up.”
Atmospheric forces cause the rotation rate of the Earth to speed up in the summer of the Northern Hemisphere, according to Scientific American. Forces caused by the moon also affect the rate the Earth spins.
The magazine notes that on the geologic timescale, the Earth has been slowing, with the rotation taking half an hour less 70 million years ago.
August 5th is predicted to be more than a millisecond shorter than 24 hours this year, although that’s just a prediction and it also may not be.
…for recruitment?
Alas, the Paramount++# Enterprise Edition service now shows limited ads during that one show. You’ll have to upgrade to Paramount++# Enterprise Edition (No Ads) if you don’t want to see ads during that one show.
What a peaceful looking place. Nothing sinister could ever happen there.
Why? Just so Netflix could cancel it partway through the first season and Paramount or Max could pick it up and eventually shelve it?
Interesting article. The author of the book is Luke Kemp but he sure looks like a Chad to me.
Talk about burying the lede. Scientists in Brazil are trying to fight Dengue Fever by spreading mosquitos that have been injected with a bacteria called Wolbachia. Apparently dengue and Wolbachia cannot coexist in mosquitos, so they are neutralizing the threat of the spread of dengue by spreading Wolbachia-laden mosquitos. They injected the bacteria by hand into a gazillion mosquito eggs (and you thought your job sucked) and are now going to put these eggs out into the world.
There are also two vaccines for Dengue Fever but misinformation campaigns during COVID have created vaccine-skepticism so they’re concerned that not enough people will get the vaccine and that their hospital system, already operating at 100 - 110% capacity, will be overwhelmed.
The holy Data Not Collected card!
I’m still on iOS (I know - don’t yell at me) but thinking to make moves soon. I trust Android less than iOS, but perhaps GrapheneOS or something else will be for me. I’m always open to recommendations (with a minimum of yelling).
Well I just went down the rabbit hole to verify that my podcast app is simply that, and not tracking tons of data to send back to who knows where. I had been using Overcast but a few months ago changed to RSS Radio after reading a recommendation - perhaps on Reddit? RSS Radio now seems to be all but disavowed by both Dorada Software, who links from the site for it, and Maple Media Apps, LLC, who is the publisher on the app store. The app privacy cards on the iOS App Store do not instill a ton of confidence, showing: Data Used to Track You (Identifiers, Usage Data) and Data Linked to You (Usage Data)
Perhaps it’s time to switch… Podverse is at least open source, although they track Usage Data and link Contact Info to you. But good ol’ Overcast only has a card for Data Not Linked to You, which seems like a big improvement.
This looks cool. Thank you for creating and sharing! I’ve added to my (privacy-respecting, I think) podcast app of choice and will give a listen.
I’m not familiar with this politician but I appreciate his answer to the question.
This is terrific. Any idea how to get it to work with Text Replacement?
