Just got a call saying I got accepted into medical school, which (kinda?) sucks because I recently decided I didn't want to go anymore. Fuck. Now it's time to make the biggest decision of my life. Go into a career I will hate, or miss the once in a lifetime opportunity?
@SaluteThePig Two slices of bread with any sort of savoury fillings in between them are a sandwich. An "open face sandwich" would be acceptable too, but since it has it's own name we can conclude that if there is a need to specificity it's not a true sandwich. Take that PB&J.
But ten years, huh? Worth a reflection. The response my vids got, the enjoyment I got from making them, the fluency with which they wrote themselves, everything I learned from the processes- I benefit from all of that every day now. I'm grateful for the experience of the 10 yrs.
It turns out that yesterday was the NSC 10th birthday.
As I recall, I'd made the video and had to think of a channel name off the top of my head. I'd heard (I think) Sam Harris use the expression in terms of "Why do we even need a word for an atheist?"

@SaluteThePig I dare say that bacon is actually more processed than sardines. Canning utilizes mainly heat and salt while bacon adds nitrites, sugar, spices, smoke... Mmmm, bacon... "Processed" is really a catch all term.
Wow! Good news everybody! @OdysseyFloat has earned Certificate of Excellence. We don't like to brag but sometimes it's warranted. Thanks to all the good people who have left all those great reviews.
@BoredBuddha_ A similar conundrum has always puzzled me: "In order to clean something you have to make something else dirty, yet in order to dirty something you don't need to clean anything.
@noelplum When I used to work night shift I listened to videos as I was trying to fall asleep in the middle of the day. Noel, as much as I like you, your voice was not one I've ever chosen to lose consciousness to. Sorry.
So Steve Shives tweeted this. It is actually quite amusing which makes it all the more regrettable that no-one will have seen it because he has everyone blocked!
@jimmy_dore@washingtonpost Let us not forget that Bezos is backing a giant clock inside a mountain that will do us no good with $42,000,000 instead of maybe spending some of that money on AC in his warehouses. bbc.com/news/technolog…
@nickpopemod Youtube channel Goddards Journal has a great video explaining based on Cool Hard Logic's idea what exactly are we looking at. I find the evolution in the series on the subject very interesting and even more that US intelligence could not work it out. youtu.be/oO5dP3sF2sw
