Academic publishing is a racket. Universities need to open their own free and open source journals and trade on their reputations.

My math prof loved math. He pursued a B.Sc. in Mathmatics and looked for work. He could teach high school, or go back to school. He got his M.Sc in mathmatics. Looked at what he could do as a career. He could teach mathmatics at colleges, or go back to school. He got his PhD. in mathmatics from a prestigious school. He looked for a career. He could teach mathmatics at a 3rd rate University or die of hunger, homeless and chased by wolves.

He taught at my school and was a very strong proponent of not studying pure math. Comp Sci, Actuarial Sciences anything but pure math. He said math was a rich kids hobby, not a career.

The galactic fashion industry is fickle at the best of times, but when Earth cows became fashionable as hats, Bessie had had enough.

Ceiling cat is watching you masturbate vibes.

I completely agree. These tools are bullshit dystopia incarnate.

Do you have any hobbies that require that kind of caution?

It’s a bit disingenous. We’re already past the Paris 1.5°C goal. 2024 was 1.5. The lag time between emissions and warming is 20 years so even if we automagically hit real zero emissions, we’re still warming for the next two decades.

Remember why 1.5°C was selected as a target. It was because exceeding it incurs the risks of tipping points, where human emissions get dwarfed by natural cycles, and human activity can no longer stop the process. E.g. Humans burn fossil fuels beyond 1.5°C, the resulting forest fires and loss of sea ice, glaciers and snow cover then take us to 2.5, which then releases clathrates whick takes us to … 6C’ish.

If there are any historians left in the future, they are going to be really unkind to the people who had it all, and ruined it for all future generations.

Everything is worth what it’s purchaser will, or won’t, pay for it.

Done! Great sub.

And place three cans of hairspray in between them.

They do, rarely.

Your former roommate is a freak. Everyone knows it’s Bebop. Hard or Post Bop are risqué, but acceptable answers.

RED is great, if you have the time and money needed to get ratio for downloading. You have to continuously buy new music on day 1 of release and have an ultra low latency server to serve it because of the way their algos direct bandwidth.

It is not for the faint of heart, but it is the catalogue of choice.
