This is something I always wondered because some people have a bunch of theories about whether your head should face north or south or whatever, because of the earth magnetic field. Is there any science in this or just “superstition”?...
After reading the abstract of the paper mentioned here I started wondering, why did human groups migrate away from southerner (warmer) places towards the north which is far colder and has less possibilities to grow crops and wild animals to hunt?...
Could really be the same reasons for them too.
People moved for better hunting/grazing areas. To escape areas of warfare. They didn’t like the tribes rules, and more reasons.
I assume that somebody, somewhere, has done the detached corporate penny-pinching to make this all make sense on paper. But this is a disastrous move from a consumer goodwill standpoint.

Show me anywhere near as many examples of McDonald’s employees failing to deescalate a situation as what’s in one week of reports posted in that comm.
What you’re trying to point out is just flat out dumb, and isn’t “hilarious”.
"After I moved out of the house,” he continued, “not because of the haunting — although it had become bothersome with noises, footsteps on stairs, voices in rooms that were empty and feelings of temperature changes and so forth.
When I did WFH my boss insisted that because I didn’t have to commute I should have all my tools up before my shift even starts.
I didn’t last very long.
This same company got sued up the ass when we were in office for trying to say we needed to have all our tools up before clocking in. But somehow WFH made it ok.
Oh I thought this was a Stellaris dlc, not it’s own game. Sweet! The timeline goals using canon and non-canon branches seems interesting. Sad to see you have to make sure your planets are employed though, that’s the one thing I don’t like about Stellaris. But oh well.
"The company now expects to exceed $1.7 billion in free cash flow for the third quarter of 2023, in part due to the strong performance of 'Barbie' as well as incremental impact from strike-related factors," the entertainment giant says in a regulatory filing.
There’s a good many gravity theories, some that don’t even try to explain the why, only the how and other’s that involve some particle like the graviton.

Eh AI is like automation. Everyone thought everything was going to be replaced but that’s not what happened. The law seems to be looking ok so far in regards to ai art and actors, we might actually be doing good in that regard. Gotta keep an eye on the writing side of things though.
I really wish the train strike was more effective. But it seems like more unions are waking up now so that’s really good. Truckers would be nice. I’m not sure farmers need a strike, they get subsidized, but I’m also not really knowledgeable on that industry.
I was just thinking, this guy is 77. I hope his kids were in on this too. You just know one of them is going to try some shit in the future if they aren’t given a reason not to.

I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the scale of the problem of nuclear waste. If we took all the nuclear waste produced in a year and evenly blended it into all gasoline burned in a year would the radiation be deadly? Dangerous? Detectable?...
Many worlds is a fun idea, too. But also being regarded as not real for a while now. The cat in a poison box living or dying doesn’t mean it lives and dies.
I never heard about the false vacuum before, that’d be some good sci-fi
