  • What band did you hear one song of, check the rest of their music, and find it was a one-off and none of their other music sounds like that?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I had to list it because even though I actually like Queen in general, I couldn't believe that was their first song. It is so very different from everything else they made.

    Edit: Fun Fact. Freddie Mercury wrote that song in 10 minutes, while taking a bath.

  • Just so you are aware, recent measurements by either JWST or Hubble (I don't remember which,) seem to indicate that expansion might be slowing, but the paper was basically saying, "hey, we found an anomaly, more data and research required."

  • I would agree that using CS as a way to not take a foreign language is some utter bullshit. The reason I compare it to linguistics, not a language, is that most of coding seems to be figuring out the correct syntax to tell the machine what you actually want it to do. There's actually very little in the way of mathematics, or even arithmetic, in CS, so I find the widespread comparison to be less than helpful.

    Though I do agree the bribery should be outlawed.

  • For normal jobs, sure. For law enforcement, the military, the intelligence sector, and possibly even Congress, NO. That is potentially inviting a spy into your organization, as a competing faction can pay their debts for leverage over them.

  • The app "5 calls" is free, free of ads, and free of tracking. It will provide you with the phone numbers and emails of your representatives and senators. It will also provide you scripts so that you can speak directly on each potential topic. You can also set up daily, weekly, or monthly notifications to remind you.

  • I remember seeing an article years ago around 2000-2002 era. They claimed that the 56 retirement age was because of heart attacks and other stress/age related medical issues. Basically you don't want Lesley Neilson having a heart attack while quipping jokes at you over the air.

  • To be fair, Algebra and Trig are mostly just stepping stones that are needed to understand Calculus. Calculus is the easy way to calculate curves, which you do instinctively. If you've ever thrown a ball, gone bowling, or driven a car you used calculus, just unknowingly, and, most likely, with poor precision.

  • I just noticed during my TA work that when most students were having issues in the more advanced maths, that their fundamental issue was a misunderstanding of fractions and decimals. Once I got them to understand how those two relate to each other, they started understand the rest of the math. The fractions in algebra are generally an entire term in the equation. The other issue that kids had was getting them to stop thinking literally about distinct numbers, and getting them to think about the concept of numbers.

    I think the other guy was saying that calculus makes the mathematics of curves a whole lot simpler than algebra does, but that's a weird way to describe that.

    Having flirted with the education system of the US and having two parents with degrees in education, I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that I have no clue how to fix how math is taught in this country, just that the way we do it seems fundamentally broken right around 4th to 5th grade.

  • I was quoting you. I am musically and artistically inclined. I wouldn't call myself a musician, I'm just a proficient singer and can play at a performance level with almost every instrument. I'm also just a tech guy, not really a computer guy. Really I have spent the last 20 years making myself a jack of all trades and a master of a few.

    I was mostly studying all that because I have ADD, and no one tried to stop me, lol. I keep doing it because books are free.

    I suspect you're better at math than you give yourself credit for. Most Americans that are "bad at math," weren't taught fractions properly and without that, none of the rest (Algebra, Trig, Calc, Number Theory, etc.) could possibly make any sense. Geometry is really the only mathematics that you can do without understanding fractions, and that makes sense since we were using Geometry to build buildings for millenia before anyone did a fraction to decimal conversion.

  • The Moon is the only readily available source of truly ancient Earth rocks. If we want to know more about our planet, we have to go to The Moon, and do science.

    Thus far exactly one scientist has ever set foot on The Moon. We're going back with a team of scientists and one pilot, rather than the inverse ratio that the Apollo missions had.
