I rolled a die and got a 6, so no one has to worry about rolling a 1

For an iPhone that has had a few months of jostling in someone's pocket then going into chlorinated or salt water and sloshing around while they swim, it's entirely possible that it will fail from liquid damage. Frequently they do. You might be lucky enough that it doesn't, but no guarantee

They are water *resistant*, not waterproof. The IP68 certification means that a factory-new iPhone will still operate after being gently submerged into a tank of fresh water and held still for 30 minutes.

OMG

Not a lot of people know this, but the American Book Award that Harvey Pekar won for "American Splendor" was actually in the cateogory of "Most Hilarious Jokes per Page"

Your position seems weird to me. You find it troubling that Sean Carroll is possibly wrong about the historical PageRank of a search he didn't do.

Maybe the information would have readily turned up, maybe not, but the readiness of that information is moot because Sean Carroll never got involved with Epstein in the first place.

It is easy, with the current knowledge of Epstein, to find information detailing what a monster he was. It was less easy in 2010, and you would have had to make some effort to discover that information. Maybe the "really hard" part of "try really hard" would have been inaccurate.

1 Inquiry for New York Times Good afternoon, My name is [REDACTED] and l am a reporter for the New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it. With gratitude, [REDACTED]

Palestine Diaspora Movement Hello [REDACTED] We do not collaborate with The New York Times. Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours. The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable. So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it. Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

lmaooo GET EM

"Fancy letters and affiliations affixed to their names" is an idiotic way to describe people who have spent a long time studying and working in the fields of medicine, endocrinology, and developmental psychology.

He had already bailed by that point because he found Epstein repellent. Possibly if he had been interested in going he could have done more research, but it would have taken additional effort to look into someone he already wasn't interested in having any relationship with.

In life, you can be a Krauss or you can be a Carroll. Be a Carroll.

I would not characterize many if any customer service calls I've had for Windows software as "productive". You're going to be digging through forums regardless

Complacency mutinies against us. I hoped enlightenment was a beacon to all and none would rather careen into darkness and rend the promises of our potential into jetsam. But, the light was a siren’s flicker, a cruel seduction. Alack, boxer briefs with pockets to stow phones are out of production.

I frequently read in dreams, but any time the text has any complexity or length beyond a sentence or so, it changes every time I look at it.

What is the title of the book?

"a collection of irritable mental gestures in search of a consistent theme" is a pretty apt description of Ross Douthat's work

There's a party going on right here (hopefully soon)

You can't roll the whole range of doubles, if that matters to your game.

Ramanujan, one of the greatest mathematicians in history, died at the age of 32 from complications of dysentery. His notebook from the last month of his life was still prompting discoveries in number theory a century later.

He caught dysentery from untreated well water.
