Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe, which recently became Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe

About half of their podcasts are about astrophysics, another third is quantum mechanics, and the last bit is an eclectic mix of science.

Daniel is an incredible science communicator and a tenured experimental particle physicist, but has friends in many fields to bring in and follows astrophysics developments enthusiastically.

And that's why you don't let them contact the Internet.

Managing IoT risk is an easy no brainer if people bother to try.

This is the kind of shit that terrifies me. When Trump first came into power in 2016 it was a shock for everyone, and he wasn't prepared. He took office with GOP traditionalists mostly in his cabinet and in his reporting structure. Several of those found him despicable and put up resistance.

This made his first presidency extremely ineffectual.

No such luck this time, every one of these fascist fuckers knows exactly what they're doing and are eager to get to work.

If those are the only 3 items they're suing over, in an American court of law it'd be a slam dunk for PocketPair. Theres so much prior art, open use, and poor definitions involved the patents would be quickly invalidated.

But I'm not aware of the nuance of Japanese court, only that they tend to protect IP even more strongly than US courts.

Edit: fuck it, I haven't been very interested so far, but I'm buying a copy of palworld today. Software patents are a broken system and Nintendo deserves every bit of fight given to them.

It's impressive we give so much control of our financial instruments to idiots who obviously don't fully grasp how tariffs and protectionism work.

It sounds straightforward until it's used as a weapon by the sitting administration to prevent competition at the ballot box.

It's pretty fun. But I find myself drawn more to TCG Shop Simulator to scratch the itch these days. Pokemon had it's chance to innovate for decades and largely refused to.

Amazing, the 35% 'best and last' offer Boeing offered 3 times wasn't actually the best and last, and collective bargaining exceeded the 40% pay raise the union set out for.

Union strong, bitches.

I'll say that it can lead to uneven extrusion and even skipped steps on your extruder. How much, and how much that amount matters is entirely dependant on the setup and your workflow.

There are a few 3D printed solutions to keep filament tension neutral using a buffer system. It's not a bad idea to check out some of them.

Rape. Don't let anyone sugar coat it with any other word.
