I posted this below, but I used to be able to whistle in a way to make a modem or fax handshake and connect. Couldn't do any data, but I could make it connect.

My parlor trick back in the day was that when a call came in from a modem or fax, I could whistle in a way that it would connect. Couldn't do anything past that, but it was fun.

Yeah, it validated the theory.

No, this study didn't deal with dark matter, that's not the missing matter they're taking about. They've known that the ordinary matter in the galaxies only accounts for a small fraction of the matter in the universe, and there were theories about how much matter was in the space between galaxies. This study looked at radio waves being emitted by distant sources, and looked at how much those waves were defracted by pasted through matter, which corroborated that yes, there's a lot of matter between galaxies.

Christy Walton has been outspoken and supportive of the movement, but I haven't seen evidence that she's bankrolling it. She for sure doesn't speak for the company, which is more conservative.

Is that what Republicans mean when they say "Think of the children?"

One interesting thing at my local one in southern California: several people were waving large state flags. Lots of American flags as well, but I thought the state flags were interesting.

Article updated to say that an appeals court has overturned that ruling, so Trump ca still control them for now, unfortunately.

During the Renaissance, there were certainly a lot of the weirdly adult baby Jesus paintings, but there were also realistic examples from the time (that one is Raphael, one of the great masters).

Made before Trump took office, right?

Well, yes to both. It's also clearly drawn by hand - basically a cartoon.

It's annual, so it's just total deaths that year.

I believe it's referring to the five people who died in 2023 in that submersible that was named "titanic."

The brownies don't look like they came from that pan. They taper at both ends, and they have rings/segments that the pan doesn't have.

Remember that you should be interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you. Ask questions, not due the sake of asking them, but to find out if they're a good fit for you (so the questions depend on what you care about). You might ask things like how many hours of OT a typical employee does, or what percent of turnover the area you're interviewing for has typically experienced.

Otherwise, be professional but try to have a relaxed conversation as much as possible.

It's in OP's article

I think in 1925 their ability to cushion big hunks of glass was lower, and they didn't have safety glass. It was probably a good call, even though it was a cool idea.

I went downstairs and took one just for you:

His thing was that he didn't want obvious electric lights in the lobby because Aztecs didn't have electric lights. But it was decided that giant glass columns in earthquake country in the 20s was a bad idea, so they didn't do it

My dad was friends with the guy who designed the Aztec Hotel. He didn't want regular light fixtures originally, so he came up with an idea for lighted columns, and he made a prototype table-lamp sized. The was in 1925. The prototype is in my living room and I use it every day.

They're attractive, but they also have a much bigger problem with gaskets getting moldy, and I personally think getting clothes in and out of a top-loading is more convenient unless they're stacked.
