My daughter listens to music while brushing teeth as a form of pleasant timer. We have been through the entire Weird Al discography (but had to listen to a few of the longer ones when not brushing teeth). Teenage me would approve.

This site says they are very anti-Israel, and have promoted conspiracy theories ok the past: https://ngo-monitor.org/ngos/euro-med-human-rights-monitor/

There are divisions in the text that other authors might have broken into chapters. He is actually incredibly clever with those divisions, building sections longer or shorter to control the speed of the story.

Yay, more instability!

Paywall?

Like when our dog died, my dad tanned the hide, wore it as a cape, and played with the other dog?

I am a useless person with a PhD…

Are they hiring?

If you like space science, please write to your congressman to save NASA and science funding: https://www.planetary.org/advocacy-action-center#/53

Yeah, my first thought when I saw this was that it was definitely not made by a scientist.

Depends somewhat on the particular negative. We can claim with certainty that dinosaurs are not alive today, even though there are theoretically places that are not sufficiently explored where, in principle, a dinosaur might live. We are well aware that the fossil record is globally consistent and demonstrates the timing of their extinction, as well as the lack of any fossils of dinosaurs since then.

Similarly, I can claim with confidence that a force does not exist in the universe that would allow me to teleport from place to place instantaneously, because such a force would violate many of the known laws of physics.

There are various types of god-beings that cannot exist because of a logical contradiction. An omnipresent entity, for instance, would be always detectable if it had any measurable effect on the world, but no such measurable effect can be observed. If it is not capable of a measurable effect, then it is indistinguishable from not existing.

Other types of negatives are not easily proven. That is why scientists will say things like, “Based on 3478 measurements, there is currently no evidence to support the existence of higher values than those reported here.”

What was going on five years ago?

The Russians have simply continued the count of the Soviet Luna missions.

You may be underestimating the number of conservatives in blue states.

I was at the conference he was supposed to attend - the Lunar and Planetary Science conference. There were a lot of people showing Los Alamos data there.

I love Tartu, but last I heard, the pay and funding sucked. How is it now?

Media during the election:

Kamala said “from” instead of “to” – does she have what it takes to lead the country?

Next up, how ripping apart trade agreements while pretending to be a truck driver is the what America needs.

I did not make a hypervelocity impact crater. I did, however, make a large number of low velocity impact craters.

Rode 190 kms on a unicycle one day.

Same.
