It's funny because this applies to children cleaning home bathrooms as a Saturday chore as well.

I write this message on thrift store kids doodle tablets regularly.

Some poor parakeet is forced to do a half marathon on a treadmill.

Or a book goes from zlib to my Kobo and I don't leave the toilet.

Do you own a USB c to micro-USB to get the file off my phone?

I the zlib app on my phone. No clean way from my phone to on my Kobo.

Sideload without cables is challenging.

I download epubs from zlib but then they're on my phone and transferring them to my Kobo is arduous. This makes it easy.

Your chinchilla had finished the wash cycle.

You only get about 10 of each day.

Obviously not true. But...

Children don't make memories before 4 or 5 and start being teenagers around 15-16. So about 10 years. Sounds like a long time.

But what is today, the solstice, June 21. You only get ten June 21sts. That's it. You start with a handful and it decreases from there.

A 7 year old has 8 or so left.

A 12 year old has 3 of each day left.

Enjoy your kids, you only get 10 of each calendar day with them.

Will programming languages evolve into less human oriented written code and more just calls to a trusted AI.

Or will human readable code be less and less of a thing as AI learns it's own, more terse language to talk to other AI's.

Don't read the original, find a more abridged copy. The original gives too many examples for each point.

If we launched a second New Horizons when the last one passed Pluto, the second one would already have passed Pluto as well.

Crazy to think how much time has passed since that flyby.

Also, one of the program managers was on The Moth podcast describing the panic when new Horizons rebooted days before the flyby.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft launched on January 19, 2006, and performed its historic flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015. This journey took 3,463 days (approximately 9.5 years).

3,932 days July 14, 2015–April 19, 2026

Buzz Aldrin (?) was quoted as recalling holding a pencil inside the capsule as they were out in space and thinking "that wall isn't very thick or strong, I could probably jam a pencil through it pretty easily..."

Death being a layer of aluminum away changes your mind.

Since we're talking trees. Only trees that grow in an area with distinct warm/cold cycles have rings, tropical trees don't and the only way to tell the age of most tropical trees is to have planted it yourself
