Try bending at the first finger joints instead of at the knuckles.

I don’t bother to fold my fingers all the way when I do it. All you need is a binary on/off, so just bending any discernible amount is sufficient.

No, they wouldn’t.

They would exist outside of our universe (since they created the universe), so the rules of physics in our universe don’t apply to them.

Even if the reality they existed in had something equivalent to atoms, it would be inaccurate to call those “atoms” since they are in different realities.

I largely agree, especially in the case of Amazon which is notorious for worker rights violations.

That’s why I described it as “as much as Bezos did” rather than in absolute terms.

On top of that, she was heavily involved in Amazon from its inception.

She earned her money just as much as Bezos did.

Exactly this. The whole “viruses evolve to be less deadly/severe” trope is just wishful thinking masquerading as science.

Evolution isn’t some sort of get-of-pandemic-free card, no matter how much we all wish it was.

There’s lots of counter examples of viruses that are still as deadly as ever, but I’d go beyond that; I’ve never seen anyone give a concrete example of a virus that actually did evolve to be less deadly.

The closest anyone has come to that is the 1918 flu pandemic, but there’s no evidence that it’s less deadly now due to evolution. It’s more like that it is simply less deadly because there isn’t as much widespread malnutrition as there was in 1918.

Age is only a protected class if you are 40 or older.

Only the federal government can determine whether or not the immigration is illegal.

For example, seeking asylum is legal immigration and there is no requirement for an asylum seeker to cross at an official port of entry.

Only the federal government has the right to evaluate asylum applications, so by trying to bypass the federal government, this law is effectively an attempt by the state government to deny people the right to seek asylum.

This is more like “is outraged to find out a hospital has a basement”

It only applies if he took an oath to uphold the constitution prior to committing the treason.

I.E. government officials and ex military personnel who took place in the Jan 6 riots would be disqualified, but not every random yahoo that was there.

EDIT: Others have pointed out that he is ex-military, so it looks like the 14th amendment does apply to him after all.

Portable digital identities are still an unsolved problem, even with Nostr.

They take a step forward in portability by using public keys, but that comes with a step backwards in multiple other dimensions like being able to recover your identity, key rotation, and just general ease of account maintenance.

I think Nostr is an important step in the right direction, but won’t be suitable for general use until those issues are addressed, and addressing them might require more drastic changes than simply adding an additional layer on top of it.

The production cycle for animation is ridiculously long and writing is at the very beginning of it. It’s possible that all the writing was done long before the strike started.
