We had one new guy getting fired for "refusing to talk to people who don't have a university degree".

And February 29 doesn't happen on years ending in 00 unless the year ends in 000.

That's not correct. Centuries are not leap years, unless they're divisible by 400 (not 1000). So, 2400 will be a leap year, but 3000 will not.

I predict riots regardless of who wins.

The only way to avoid it is if either side wins with a landslide, showing that the majority of the country is for the elected winner.

This would be a good time for republicans to campaign on all the politics they intend to run. Lol. They've been unusually silent lately. because they can't find common ground on anything but being anti-democrat.

GOP will implode on itself if Democrats just stay silent for a week or two.

Good. ICE cars should have high tariffs. They're all subsidized too

Even this might be too simple.

The cicadean rhythm is synchronizing to the light of the sun, temperatures, when you eat, when you exercise and other kinds of routines, but what happens when we remove those?

Scientists in the 1960s set out to find out. From the late 1960 to early 1980s they put test subjects in a bunker. They found out that the human cycle is longer than 24 hours. The average might be around 25 hours, but not all. The longest was 50 hours. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunker_experiment

Another well known experiment happened in 1989 where Stefania Follini was isolated in a cave for 4 months. Her internal clock went into a 48 hour cycle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefania_Follini

Of course these are extremes and not very useful knowledge for anyone who sees the sun daily or have actual stuff to do on a regular basis. However it shows that out sleep cycles are very much dependent on being synchronized to what we need to do.

Looking at people in hot places, who sleep (siesta) when it's too hot outside, or people from non-industrial societies who might be active both during day and night and sleep in between, it's pretty obvious that the 9-5 productive cycle is not at all "natural" for anyone.

Even if unionizing your current employment is uphill, you might still want to work somewhere else one day. It always makes sense to support whatever union is closest to your field by joining the union.

You will also likely benefit from others being unionised. F..i. when Starbucks needs to honor decent employment terms, everyone in the barista field will need to match it or fall behind on employing, because who the hell wants to apply for a job that pays less?

Union membership is good karma that way.

The point of the article isn't to ask the kids. It's to display that congress is doing such a poor charade that even kids, who are supposed to understand nothing, fully understands that congress is doing obvious bullshit.

I guess that most people would rather date OnlyFans streamers than Twitch streamers.

He tried to "starve the beast". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast

The beast being the government itself. The idea is that the government is somehow overspending in comparison to the tasks carried out and it needs to be fixed by cutting funding.

The result is obviously that the government will function even worse, so it's a self fulfilling prophecy.

I think you've heard that trivia wrong. NASA uses 15 decimals of pi. The curiosity is that they don't need to use more decimals even if many more are known.

I can't think of any good reason to use 10 instead. The consequence would be if the galaxy is 157 trillion miles or 500 trillion miles away. That's alot of space to disregard for no good reason.
