@Cernovich Lots of adventures up here!

You need to be Alaska maxxing.

@Cernovich I agree! Moved there 5 years ago to get away from MN

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth. It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter. Less than a refrigerator light bulb. The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light. By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery. NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise. The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself. Launched 1977. Still transmitting. Still being heard. We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in. That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

Rest in peace, Scott Adams.

Two crazy exciting NFL games today. I just wish the Packers could have scored on that last drive.

Venezuela used to be much wealthier than Poland, which was suffering under socialism. Then Poland implemented free-market and capitalist principles and enjoyed an economic boom. Venezuela chose socialism, which brought poverty and misery to its people. That’s the difference.

@Cernovich It's unbelievable. I moved out of Minnesota 5 years ago because of the immoral and incompetent politicians there. Looks like Ohio is no better.

Geezus.

I don’t think everyone realizes how polarizing it is to watch someone steal an amount of money they’ve worked 30 years for by throwing up a sign in a vacant building and sending the government an invoice

Beautiful skies over Homer, AK tonight.

@karpathy Exactly, it doesn't feel like progress 💯

Your philosophy of life determines the quality of your life. Avoid bitterness Avoid envy Avoid negative people Avoid small thinking Avoid trying to please everyone Avoid people who are crap magnets Avoid blaming everyone Study what philosophy creates the BEST life.

If you are happy someone was publicly executed because they don’t share your beliefs congrats you’re the Taliban

fyi, if your circle is mostly celebrating murder, you are the bad guy

We're vividly reminded this week how much evil exists in this world. God help us.

@HeartlandSignal What a terrible person.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
