@elonmusk To make government more efficient, we must abolish tenure for professors in all community colleges, starting with those under CUNY. Not only will that save taxpayers a ton of money, it will also tell these academics that money is "earned" for doing "work." #Academia

Donald's Trump victory makes him among the most consequential American presidents since Franklin D. Roosevelt, writes the Economist. #MAGA

A lot of peeps think that if you support #MAGA, you're just a terrible human being. That's no true. There are heaps of rude folks in New York, who didn't vote Red.

@DocSigerson Sorry. JUST getting to this. Oh, I don't churn butter at home. You? :) How are you keeping?

I had excellent apple cider donuts, wood-fired pizza at @DuBois_Farms I also picked some delicious apples there and met a few very cute goats. #NewYork

Ethanol has about 1/3 the energy of gasoline. So, cars will typically experience a 4% decrease in miles per gallon when running on E10 (10% ethanol blend) and a 5% decrease, with E15 (15% ethanol blend) compared to pure gasoline. #Cars

Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works has been working on building a nuclear fusion reactor that will replicate the power of the sun in a structure compact enough to fit on a truck. Nuclear fusion offers clean, risk-free energy. #Science #Energy

In the 1968 movie, “2001,” the name of the spaceship’s on-board sentient computer is HAL.  It’s a Caesar cipher of HAL, with a shift of one. #Science #Movies

At this time of the year, the average temperatures in Antarctica are typically between -58 F and -76 F. But now, they’re between -13 F and -22 F. An increase of 50 degrees is tantamount to a heat wave in the coldest place on Earth. #Environment #Climate_Change

Over the past 10 years, automakers have phased out halogen light bulbs and replaced them with LED light bulbs and high-intensity discharge light bulbs. The latter are better for the environment and they illuminate the roads better. The former are easier on the eyes. #Cars

I thought it was just me, but drivers are increasingly complaining about the intense glare from the headlights of oncoming cars. Headlights are indeed much brighter today than they were even a decade ago. #Cars

Each year, some 1.3 billion ink cartridges are sold globally. They contain toxic, oil-intensive and non-biodegradable materials that can take over 1,000 years to break down. #Environment
