That was a very good selection of vehicles, right? 🔊 Stunts a.k.a. 4D Sports: Driving (1990), MSDOS

Sadly this is 100% correct

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

How life will feel this summer after the 3rd espresso and the 5th cigarette somewhere in Southern Europe

Old friends don't know who i am now and new friends don't know who i used to be It's strange because nobody knows the full story of me anymore

Life pro tip. Not enough people talk about this. The secret to having a "fulfilling" life is doing new things. Radically doing new things. Consistently. Every day. New activities, people, goals, even something as simple as trying new foods. Life feels longer when you're a kid because every day is packed with almost infinite amount of new learning. As you get older, you've already acclimated to your environment, the new inputs stop, so your perception of time speeds up drastically. You fall into routine, which is a time accelerant. If you want to feel like you have a long infinite lifespan, like you did as a child, you MUST be having new experiences, which slows time down.

@elonmusk Actually it can all be thought of as information.

this what i expect when someone tells me they know a spot

the world looks like this and we’re expected to sit in a room for 8 hours a day staring at a screen

🧬 This matters more than most people realize. The five nucleic acid bases, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil, are the exact alphabet used to encode every living thing on Earth. Finding all five on asteroid Ryugu means the raw chemical ingredients for DNA and RNA form naturally in space, without any biological process. They survive interstellar travel and planetary impact. The implication: Earth may not have originated these molecules. They may have arrived here the same way they arrived on Ryugu delivered from space over billions of years through a process called panspermia. Life on Earth may have had a cosmic address before it had a planetary one. 📌 Nature Communications Uracil in the Ryugu Samples and the Extraterrestrial Origin of Nucleobases

There is a specific kind of intelligence that is almost never celebrated but is consistently effective: the intelligence that recognizes when the game being played is not the game worth playing.

dude computers are actually so fucking insane when you really think about it. we literally figured out how to write some fake-ass rules called code and somehow convinced rocks to follow them. like actual rocks. sand, melted, purified, carved into tiny pathways where electricity just flows in patterns. that’s it. that’s the whole magic. and yet from that we get operating systems, compilers, kernels, networks, distributed systems, machine learning models, entire virtual worlds running inside other virtual worlds. billions of tiny electrical decisions per second, all because we defined some abstract logic. humans basically invented a language of instructions and taught matter itself to execute it.

@sciencegirl i mean... i was more of a quest and sim nerd than strategy and shooter freak ت

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why

@perplexity_ai trying to keep up with all these technological advancements

Every country has an energy. And that energy rewires you whether you notice it or not. People move to Japan and become minimal. People move to Mexico and their entire relationship with time softens. People move to New York and suddenly they can't sit still. Your personality is far more malleable than you think. We treat it like something fixed, but new surroundings give you new defaults. New pace. New habits. New values absorbed through proximity instead of effort. You're not just the average of the 5 people closest to you. You're the average of the 5 places, the 5 routines, and the 5 inputs you're exposed to most. Your commute shapes you. The weather shapes you. Every space you occupy is voting on who you become. That's why I believe choosing where you live is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. More important than your job title. Maybe more important than your five-year plan. Because the place shapes the plan. The place shapes your energy, your habits, your relationships, your default state. Get the place right and half of the other decisions start making themselves. Get it wrong and you'll fight yourself every day.
