Amazon wants me to review a product. I clicked on the link and it took me to a site called Power Reviews.
Well, I closed that shit right out. I do not review for POWER! MY reviews belong... to The People! (Cue Spanish Guitar)
@kel I'm sorry, but who is Learning Styles (Harry Styles' sibling?) And what have they done to deserve to die?
Seriously though, I'm not an educator and would like to know what you mean. Thanks in advance

@GlitteryFab I'm lucky in that I made a nearly full recovery. I only need the walking stick when I've got a fairly long distance to walk.

“Great to connect with you my ‘new’ friend @elonmusk. I believe you will be an excellent leader for @Twitter to propel & maximise its great potential.”
The Twitter investment does not appear to offer either Alwaleed or the Saudi government any formal control over Twitter. Musk is now the company’s sole director
the more you "invest" in someone the chances are the more you can sway them, pressure them, ultimately control them

Saudi Arabia's Water and Electricity Holding Company, part of the country's sovereign wealth fund, and United Arab Emirates' Alpha Dhabi are part of the funding round for........drum roll...SpaceX
why now??
with little to nothing happening on the Mars front and Tesla bleeding value and Twitter may go bankrupt before we get to 2024 - why though more cash at a loser is the big question
safe to say Musk is knee deep in Saudi shit they currently own his ass

Happy Near Miss Day, everyone. Drink up, the world's about to end.
Near Miss Day—the 34th anniversary of an asteroid a half-mile wide coming within 500,000 miles of Earth.
It was hurtling through space at 46,000 miles per hour and would have struck the planet with the force of 20 billion tons of TNT, probably canceling March Madness that year.

Many years ago, I took my mother to watch the women's basketball game between Virginia and Tennessee which attracted 11,895 fans. My Mom was stunned, "People came to watch women play this game?" I nodded, she smiled and watched the game .. you can see the streaks of pride in her.
@OracleSpirit the only problem is that black holes emit Hawking radiation and, when not feed matter,, will eventually evaporate.

Humans are not special, scale is.
The other main fact (sparsity): Humans are not special, but primates are. Only primates and birds have neurons not proportional to their body size
Updated imaging and phylogenetic comparative methods reassess relative temporal lobe size in anthropoids and modern humans

Surprise Computer Science Proof Stuns Mathematicians
For decades, mathematicians have been inching forward on a problem about which sets contain evenly spaced patterns of three numbers. Last month, two computer scientists blew past all of those results.
