What if Hipparchus originally charted stars that no longer exist in our sky, due to having gone supernova hundreds of year ago? A thousand year time difference is roughly 1/3rd of a complete equinox precession, which would also be int

I think he's just saying "We didn't start the fire (It was always burnin' since the world's been turnin'.)".

The Mandalorian was also an interesting case where they almost had to use a solution like on-set LED screens due to the reflectivity of his armor.

I've said this before, but Trump's form of tariffs are basically a firewall and paying tribute opens specific ports and addresses.

Many heart attacks occur because people don't get enough exercise and overeat. This is often the result of clinical depression. Is the killer depression or is it heart disease? Same with the hyperlipidemia. It leads to eventual plaq

I noticed that you didn't address the question of whether birthright citizenship is an entitlement, because it's kind of hard to argue with the Constitution on that point. Secondly, something that is lawful does not need to be an

Federal loans are serviced by unscrupulous middle men like Nelnet. Before I understood a thing about federal interest rates and that, at the time, they were quite high historically, they convinced me to "lock in" the interest rat

This administration does not really care about the rule of law. It cares to some degree about public perception. The timing of this ruling is about revoking birthright citizenship, which is a huge Constitutional trampling. There were opp

I think we are ignoring that the statistical aspect of our ability to reason effectively and to apply logic was predicated on the deaths of millions of our ancestors. When they made the wrong decision, they likely didn't reproduce. W

I have restored a couple of the G05-801 monitors for these. They are much more complicated to repair than standard rasters. Multiple failure paths to get a vector beam pointed at the middle of the screen, incinerating phosphors.

Trump said he is open to negotiation on these tariffs. The factor of four difference is likely intentional padding. This way, he can: 1.) Shock the market into dropping several hundred points on the S&P and Nasdaq indices, thereby mak

Plan for the tariffs to reverse course once enough political pressure mounts. Calls for say, three months out.

Now is the time to search for a strong opposition voice within the Democratic Party. While Biden was in office, Trump never shut his mouth. The Democrats need to be doing the same. Holding rallies, making TV appearances. Representing th

You're better off getting an original Atari, and a box CRT set, and enjoying the experience as it was intended without frame delay. (These games are a lot easier to play when you don't have to wait for the on screen response.) The

I thought the US was imposing import tariffs on Chinese solar panels? The article mentions that China is giving low-interest government loans to manufacturers. That's something we should offer in addition to subsidies.

Trump has already proven himself to be more corrupt and sociopathic than Nixon. He was impeached and convicted and didn't resign. He is now a convicted felon and continues to pursue a second term. This is a different world.

How is Obamacare like assassinating someone? What is your reading material that likens a program meant to bring affordable healthcare to millions to government-sanctioned killing?

| Clinton conspired with CNN anchor and democratic chairperson to rig screen time in favor of Trump, believing she could beat him easier than his conservative rivals. That makes zero sense. Most people who watch CNN are center-left. She w

For example, my city's subreddit is awash with political posts related to state-level policies and reactions to Roe vs. Wade. There's very little about the culture of the town. It has a definite mission to persuade people toward

What strikes me about the popular feed now is how negative it's become. Almost every post is designed to provoke outrage in some way, which I suppose guarantees more participation. It's becoming a poison, so I spend more time on
