Just to spell it out for people: myriad means 10,000 but has been used as a stand in for “huge variety” for so long that people don’t know that anymore.

Glee?

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.

Ithink you could be more charitable in your reply. Transistors were developed to replace tubes in telephone systems… Okay but the tubes had been developed to where they were because of their usefulness in radio.

And while computers don’t inherently rely on radio, it’s radio communication that’s taken computers from one in every office to one in everyone’s pocket. Right? The main thrust of the previous commenter is true.

I think the irreducible complexity debate is over. Creationist scientists will continue to publish “but maybe” arguments because defending creationism is part of their identity, but its just a “but maybe this gap in human knowledge proves XYZ”. They are starting with a conclusion and looking for arguments that it isn’t impossible.

In the video where he’s shooting antique guns (or something) with his son, his son always calls him “sir”. Is that a regional thing? It seemed super weird to me.

I’m a different person weighing in here:

When you said:

The T3SS is one of the most complex bacterial molecular machines, incorporating one to over a hundred copies of more than 15 different proteins into a multi-MDa transmembrane complex (Table 1). The system, especially the flagellum, has, therefore often been quoted as an example for “irreducible complexity,” based on the argument that the evolution of such a complex system with no beneficial intermediates would be exceedingly unlikely. However, it is now clear that, far from having evolved as independent entities, many secretion systems share components between each other and with other cellular machineries (Egelman, 2010; Pallen and Gophna, 2007).

I ofc am just a layman reading this, I agree it seems better understood that how I interpreted what he was saying, but it also doesn’t seem nearly as well understood as you’re saying.

IMO it’s a problem with the article. The article says that T3SS is cited as an example as something that’s “irreducibly complex”. I suppose that it’s true that it is cited as that. But the second part of the paragraph explains why it isn’t true that it’s “irreducibly complex”. The paragraph isn’t explicit enough because the paragraph has probably evolved to be something that’s true and equally dissatisfying to both sides.

The printer I had in the 90s wouldn’t print black and white without color ink either.

1+2 is not always online on ps5, in fact I can’t get it to go online at all!

Could you suggest alternate wording that succinctly conveys what the commenter obviously meant?

I don’t know anything about crochet but that couldn’t have been easy

I think schopenhauer’s quote:

to overcome difficulties if to experience the full delight of existence context

is a corollary of sorts.

What unhealthy eating habit are you indulging in at 21:45?

I don’t think anybody is suggesting that Tesla had a sign that says “heil” in Tesla’s font manufactured and installed on their factory next to their name. It’s a projection by a protestor to draw attention to Musk’s Nazism.

I think his complaint is that he lives outside the boundary (on 61st at 5th) but that because of one way streets he is forced into the tolled area even if he wants to go the other way.

I don’t give money to panhandlers because I don’t like being solicited. (Also why I don’t buy things at my door, or via telemarketing) however I do support the idea of programs distributing funds directly to those in need.

I’d probably start designing and building a rolling ball clock/ sculpture, then hit some sort of obstacle and switch to making a self recirculating eddy current tube, get frustrated and try to design and build an electronically commutated counter rotating propeller driver, get frustrated and try to build a garage sized 3d printer, get frustrated and try to build a delayed action door closer get frustrated and try to build a co-planar compound cycloidal reducer, get frustrated and then forget my wife’s anniversary until 4pm the day before.

Imo the article writers probably feel that they are decrying the way people are demeaning her, but it’s just adding visibility for the judgemental.

You should look up time management strategies for people with ADHD because these are both classic symptoms.
