There are certain mutations like MSH6 which pretty much guarantee that you are going to die of cancer unless you are extremely proactive.

It really does seem like a small piece of tape inside the envelope would have solved the problem.

It's very confusing how a relativity works in a non-deterministic world. Brian Greene's illustration of how relativity "slices the loaf" in the Fabric of the Cosmos (https://youtu.be/8Y-JmocB84Y?t=1334) makes it very difficult for me to understand how things work if reality is indeed non-deterministic.

Unless reality is more like Everything Everywhere All At Once, i.e., the Everett many loafs model.

Thank you for posting this. Honestly, my social media bubble exposed me to exactly 0.5% of the videos on this site.

While I still think Israel is making the same mistake we did after 9/11, these videos help me feel a little of the vitriol fueling the IDF's actions.

Isn't it assumed that everything is deterministic apart from what is done by the somewhat magical, "free will"?

Isn't that generally how customers work?

but home charging is typically during hours where renewable output is at its lowest. would be amazing if/when all EVs are automatically grid-connected when not in motion. instead of expensive centralized energy storage in giant megapacks, we have low-cost (but stochastic) decentralized storage that is available when renewable generation is at its peak.

the integration randomly stopped working for me recently. it now asks me to log into the enphase cloud or provide a token or something.

The Moonman A2 is my current favorite pen. Though it's a knock-off, the out-of-box nib smoothness was better than that of the Vanishing Point that I ended up returning.

The fact that it's only $15 on AliExpress makes it a steal. No pun intended.

This so perfectly describes the ADHD university experience. Of course, there are other courses that you could hyperfocus on for days.
