Erdős did so much math because he also did prolific amounts of meth. His concerned friends challenged him over it, but he insisted that hew could quit anytime he wanted. To prove it, he went cold turkey for 2 months. He then said to his friends, "Are you satisfied? Now you have set back the field of mathematics a whole 2 months!"

I thought we hit 8B last year? I remember hearing a lot of buzz about it. I guess with so many, it's hard to approach an accurate count, so different methodologies would yield different results.

People seem to imagine the homeless are some monolithic block: that they are all meth and heroin junkies with mental health problems who steal everything that isn't nailed down and create huge piles of garbage wherever they camp. That is a small minority that gets disproportionate press because of the problems they cause. Many of today's homeless are the working poor, who have a job but can't afford rent in this economy. In my area, we had devastating wildfires a couple summers back, and whole towns were wiped off the map. That's thousands of people who used to have homes who suddenly don't. There just aren't vacancies for that many. And then the increased demand drives up rental prices, pushing more people out of affordable housing. A minimum basic income is a big help, but we could also do with some regulation of the housing market.

Mom needs to have a serious talk with her kid about the dangers for people of color who call the police. I'm glad this incident didn't go the way of far too many other 911 calls.

Before I read the explanation, I'd already figured out it was a side-scanning camera. Why are people so stupidly superstitious? I would have thought it was a cool pic, and would have been my favorite out of the set, just for it's quirkiness.

Over the Garden Wall anyone?

Maybe it's not widely known because nobody gives a runny $hit about Charles?

Yet again, this isn't AI trying to kill anyone. This is human beings using a tool badly.

If those pants are so thin they shred that easily, I don't want them.

I'm not sure a large mass of pugs, cooked on atmospheric entry and then splattered to a thin paste sprayed all over the area of impact would be very adorable.

This is truly epic, but it would have been cool to give her the trident that appears on the Ukrainian seal of state.

I used to work for a company that manufactured LED keychain micro-lights. The owner of the company had a framed letter from Krikalev on the wall of his office, detailing his time on the Mir as it was falling apart around him. There were times when the only working light on the station was one of the company's micro-lights held in his teeth as he frantically kept the life support working long enough to live for the ride home.

How to end a relationship in one simple step.

Do you want a demi-lich? Because that's how you get a demi-lich.

"An astonishing lack of sexual innuendo." I think Miss Celiana needs to watch the video again. "Beavers like it wet, and they are very good at making things wet."
