@conor64 @KelleyKga @politicalmath @CorieWhalen That's awesome. Hopefully you got a good sense of why so many of us who used to have a lot of trust in institutions like the CDC and NIH no longer hold them in high regard. I think many of us wish that those institutions could earn back some of that trust.

@NickInNC @KelleyKga @politicalmath @CorieWhalen I've read them all, excellent responses and pitiable trolls alike!

I wonder if @conor64 actually read some of the serious and honest replies to his question, like the ones by @KelleyKga, @politicalmath, and @CorieWhalen. I'm sure there were a lot of trolls to filter out, but if he's genuinely looking for the answer, it's there.

A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly. If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I'm hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.

Tried out @ChefGruel's chicken thighs, sausage, and red rice recipe tonight for dinner. Unsurprisingly it was delicious.

@AllbrightNFL I mean it's one way to make the current refs look good. We saw last time how well the replacements did, and it was ugly.
English
Being in bed with the sports books means that millions of dollars can change hands on some of these calls, and if these replacement refs don’t, the outcry will be worse than last time.

In lieu of a new labor agreement with the NFL Referees Association, the league is planning to begin hiring replacement officials before the May 31 expiration of its current deal, according to a source.

The NFL sent this out on Friday which should quiet some very strong opinions about this over the next 48 hours.
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
The NFL issued a memo to clubs this weekend prohibiting public comment on the ongoing CBA negotiation with officials due to what the league says is the sensitivity of the ongoing discussions. The memo stressed that while the league has the highest regard for the game officials, officiating must improve, and that the NFL proposal would enhance the ability to hold the officials accountable for their performance while offering generous compensation packages. The union continues to resist those efforts while seeking raises almost double the rate realized by players over their last two collective bargaining agreements and millions in marketing fees. The ongoing dispute between the NFL and the union representing the game officials will be a topic of discussion when club executives, general managers, and head coaches gather at the league meeting in Phoenix, which begins today.

@girlmeetsNG @realjenx We don't take offense at all when you say something that's obviously correct. The expression "If it's crazy but it works, then it's not crazy" makes perfect sense around here.

アメリカで航空ショーを見に行ったら、なぜかジェットエンジンを取り付けたスクールバスが登場して意味が分からなかったけど、とにかくアメリカ人ってバカだけど天才だなと思った😂（最高時速590Km、ブレーキでは停止できないのでパラシュートを使用）

Trying to convince my husband to watch the "Aham biopic" with me tn
Matriarchy Hannah@_carmen_dioxide
Btw friends, Aham’s trumpet biopic that Lindy helped him write is free on Tubi. For the good of the culture, someone needs to livetweet. @theashleyray should you see this I’m looking in your general direction, though other comers welcome. tubitv.com/movies/1000099…

@NickInNC I also thought it wasn't "too bad" until I tried to teach it to undergrads.

Correct! Time dilation is the phenomenon that explains how the Hail Mary spaceship travels to to the star, Tau Ceti (12 light-years away), in only four years for the main character.
I'm not going to even try to explain how this works here - relativity is notoriously difficult to explain. But here's a good video to help you visualize the concept of time dilation - with one caveat. What this video explains works to about our nearest galactic neighbors and then we hit the brick wall that is the expansion of the universe, which permanently moves the vast majority of the universe out of reach.

POP QUIZ! In Project Hail Mary, Ryland Grace is able to reach the star Tau Ceti, which is 12 light-years away, in about 4 years (ship time), due to which phenomenon? If you don't know, just guess. I'll give the answer tomorrow.

How about fixing the algorithm so that longtime users with small to medium size followings who don't spam the app constantly but just post every few days get some visibility?
I don't need podcasts. I would like for my followers to actually see my tweets.

Serious question. Where should I take visitors from East Asia when they come to Orlando?
KSC, obviously.
Then…
Buc-ee’s?
Ron Jon’s?
Gator Jungle?
Airboat ride?
Shooting guns?
Truck races in Bithlo?

People say Learned Hand had the perfect name for a judge. But Learned was his middle name, not his first name. Hand's given first name was really perfect for a lawyer, not a judge: "Billings."

If you’re treating Posobiec’s views as actual views worth discussing and refuting, he’s winning. Nothing he says is worth even talking about.

@TheMiddleborne I think that would be very popular for a small group of people. But the general public would rather just pay to have someone else fix things.
That may change over time with electric cars replacing IC in urban areas, and IC more popular in rural where DIY is essential.

Honestly I feel like someone could engineer a car and parts that are put together in a way that makes everything easy to replace and change out like a modular syatem.
And before you say “that’s what we had!” i mean something even easier. Like hit the lock pin and the alternator slides out of a special seating and the new one slides back in without needing to worry about wires and hookups
The parts would have to be proprietary initially, but 3rd party parts could enter the market and make things increasingly cheaper
English
Someone needs to make a car company where the engine is made of easily replaceable parts.
“But that’s just what we had before 2005!”
Yes, yes it is.
Someone should do that
