Veritassium ignores a bunch of stuff in that video and hand-waves it away.

I only hear about his videos from other, better channels that correct his mistakes. He's dead to me ever since that "faster than light" electricity video where he didn't once use the word induction and made it sound super mystical. Fuck that guy with a thousand meters of wire.

Here's the video I saw on it. Anyone watching the Veritassium video should watch this after:

Or better yet, find a different video on the relativistic movement of electrons and electron holes in wires, and how it causes magnetism. I don't have one handy.

It's a really bad sign when half of his videos need corrections by other channels. Sure, you could say they're just riding on his popularity, but the fact that he needs corrections is the problem.

Which means not in any US primary schools.

In capitalist America, Windows learns you!

Install Pro or Enterprise, or Tiny10 and then go here and run the Power Shell script: https://massgrave.dev/

And choose the first option. Takes a minute but then you'll be fully activated. If you don't trust the script, download it and check it yourself.

Then you can use the Group Policy editor to turn a bunch of crap off that Home users aren't allowed to. I use Winaero Tweaker to edit all these things with a UI. It works even on the Home edition except for the few settings that require the Group Policy.

Republicans are why we need the second amendment.

On Lemmy or even Reddit, no one should care about late replies. It’s not like you bumped a thread or anything.

You read dozens of articles and aren’t even close to spelling his name right?

You just cut his name into a thousand pieces and there’s blood everywhere.

But that’s all that can be said. Life is random. There is no “why”. The body uses zinc because it can.

In English we can use “How”.

The answer to the question, “How did this evolve?”, is the same as the answer to a non-teleological “why”. People just need to learn to use “how” because “why” is such a loaded word.

When using “how” in this sense and “why” in the non-teleological sense, they have the exact same meaning (at least to my ear), but then the “how” version isn’t ambiguous.

If I say to myself, “How did this evolve?”, the question feels good. It feels clear, and my mind leaps into thinking about the function of the mineral in the body and the chain of evolutionary steps that could have caused it.

If I say to myself “Why did this evolve?”, I just can’t get the teleology sense of the word out of my head. If someone didn’t want a teleological answer, why did they say “why” when “how” is clearly better? So I assume they mean why.

I feel like even if I answered their question, the next one would be, “Yeah, but why?” Making me feel like I wasted my time explaining the “how”.

Yeah, I was focused on science questions since this is a science questions community. It’s not universal advice.

There is one instance in the US where you can lose money from a raise. You can deduct 100% of student loan interest as an “above the line” deduction (not an itemized deduction) unless you make more than $72,000 a year, and then you can deduct none of it.

Some people pay thousands of dollars in student loan interest a year. A $1 per year raise could put them over the line and cost them whatever the marginal tax rate is on those thousands of dollars.

It’s a stupid cliff of a line. It should be a curve.

Leaving this hear to display my shame.

This is your real shame.

I couldn’t even watch for 10 minutes because of the hyperactive characters. I hate that kind of show.

I feel like slapping her in face would be appropriate and should be perfectly legal in this instance.

It’s just going to rot more. The rot needs to be cut out completely, and replaced with new (pressure treated) wood. Not just some putty and paint.

They meant that the salary cutoff is too low for some teachers to benefit.

This study is averages for entire states, and therefore useless. They should have done it by county.
