#mica update: so exactly how much blood would you need to lose to die, and how much would you need to lose to start feeling anything? Also exactly how much blood is this compared to how much blood is in the rest of your body? Don't ask why. I got to writing the part in this book where Ruby finds out she's a vampire in a very unserious way.

Suggesting modern medicine has gotten way to complicated and fails to address the needs of the patient. Goes back to Maimonides for emphasizing health and prevention to avoid the need to treat diseases.

Lots of good stuff here.

โ€œWe are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.โ€

hmm, this is hard to answer... cuz a fiction book is good when it's fun to read... which is a criteria everyone can recommend smth on probably

But a non-fiction book imo, is read to learn smth... and there it rly depends on what you want to learn. Furthermore, while there can be better or worse books about a given topic, if you are seriously trying to learn smth, you will probably need to look into a lot of different books. Not all subtopics will be treated with the same rigorosity in each book. Some explainations of a given subtopic might be confusing to you. Etc... In these cases you'd need to look up the same subtopic in another book

This is about indepth scientific books tho... there are ofc books that treat a topic more surface level and these can just be read start to end w/o the necessity of further reading. If u are looking for smth like this, try starting with a book about your currently most loved hobby(or hyperfixation)

WHAT A DISGRACE.

Not a single mention of Israel in the UK Government's "independent" review into foreign interference in British democracy. No surprise given that the minister in charge has taken undeclared links to a pro-Israel lobbying group.

Nazis on the rise again, but instead of Hitler we get Netanyahu.

Israel needs to receive the same treatment as Nazi Germany to protect everyone else. Who is Israel going to bomb next with this inbred orange cunt in charge of my shithole country bending over for Israel's insatiable genocidal lust?

Itโ€™s fascinating to me to learn that most of the far side of the #moon to date has been so poorly photographed, if at all.

So itโ€™s also fascinating to me that #Artemis2 was launched during a full moon, where most of the far side would still be shrouded in darkness.

I know the mission had been delayed multiple times, but I wish theyโ€™d launch during a new moon, so we get some well-lit images of the other side.

@bitsavers Youโ€™re right! โ€œOver the course of one year, the Lunar Orbiters photographed 99 percent of the Moonโ€™s surface, producing more than 2,000 images of unprecedented clarity and precision.โ€

I think my confusion was that the far side is seldom seen by *human* eyes.

โ€œNasa said its image marked "the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes". Even Apollo astronauts didn't see the Orientale basin completely because of their orbit and illumination conditions.

Nasa is emphasising the significance of human eyes rather than robotic explorers.โ€

The fuel won't "run out". Production has been reduced, which means that at some point consumption will need to be reduced - but it won't be eliminated.

It'll be annoying, and a brake on economic activity, but it won't be an existential threat on a civilisation level.

(It also doesn't _have_ to be a brake on economic activity, but capitalism will capitalism)

NASA Starting To Think Stocking Ship With Chipotle Might Have Been A Mistake - Babylon Bee

> Dynamic webapps didnโ€™t become the standard because developers said โ€œhey, this is great!โ€

I don't necessarily draw a causality here, but I did exist within the event horizon of one of those companies at the time. Yes, developers totally did. Especially when you said the magic word AJAX, which, for a while, was the holy grail to solve every problem in computing.

You're right that every company wanting to carve out their own walled garden was a major contributing factor. But it would never have worked if people weren't dazzled by "responsive design" and dynamic *everything*.
