I really enjoy what math does. When it applies to what I’m doing, I don’t mind even learning a new method. What killed me in school was math for math’s sake. They never explained where one might use the math. Trig was my favorite because almost every problem has a real-world use case that’s immediately apparent.
Take a look into archologies. Specifically Arcosanti. We can definitely do it, but we would essentially have to design the cities from the ground up with that approach in mind.
Heavily depends on what I’m watching. Some shows, I need full attention, others, I’ll do programming and have it on in the background and still be able to follow.
Depends on how the show was written and who the original audience was. I enjoy a lot of sitcom writing, but often find the pacing to be a bit slow, so those are perfect for putting on in the background.
I’ve spent the last 2 years pulling all of my cloud data. I’ve read too many stories at this point about people losing access to their stuff and with the way administration is going, that’ll only get worse.
The cloud is just someone else’s computer, after all.
Although nothing is confirmed, it’s worth mentioning that Ford filed a trademark with the USPTO last month under the name “Ranchero,” which the company promoted as “More than a Car, More than a Truck” in the ’60s and ’70s. Will the Ranchero make a comeback as an electric pickup with a coupe-like design? We will find out soon.
How is that a bad thing? Still looks like a good place for community meetups and is one less road. Gotta take the silver linings where you can. It’s not like it’s flooded all the time.
It’s about a physicist who is bicycling down a hill and a car is in his path. The driver turns to see him and hits his brakes in the last moment. He skids over the hood, mostly unharmed and begins to ponder this.
If the driver hadn’t had the single neuron in his brain fire and trigger him to look again, he wouldn’t have hit his brakes and he would have collided with the flat side of the car, likely killing him.
He applies this idea to quantum physics and realizes that this is happening with every decision made by any living creature at every waking moment, creating countless split possibilities for all moments in time.
The final scene is very striking, showing a car approach an intersection. The view splits to show the car turning both left and right. The camera splits multiple more times to show the concept that you can always choose any path at any moment. Some are just more likely than others.
It showed on IFC back in 2005 or so, and I’ve tracked down some limited information on it, but it was shot on 35mm and I’ve found no real leads on watching it anywhere.
