The typo makes your point stronger

His "light-year long" cable video did not make claims that were disproven. Veritasium correctly demonstrates the principles of electric field theory, fully as described by the Maxwell equations, and his follow up video demonstrates the effect much more clearly, because his first video was controversial for being misleading.

If you have an undergraduate level understanding of lumped element model of circuits, it's understandable to see why this seems "wrong", but that is not how physics works in reality when we look at the real analog world. If you don't believe me, feel free to DM me and I can explain better. I work in analog electronics for audio and rf circuits and studied device physics as well.

The oligarchs are the Nazis. The bourgeoisie bankroll Nazi ideology. Fascism is a pillar of capitalism. We are all unified against Nazis.

The poetry in this is that said lead exposure largely came from... cars.

I am so sick of seeing this ridiculous diagram being labeled the "Dunning-Kruger effect". Go read the actual 1999 paper they wrote. The key takeaway is that the lowest quartile of people tend to overestimate their own performance, and the top quartile underestimate theirs. It doesn't posit anything like this graph, and this is just an ironic example of ignorance.

And second, I am so sick of seeing these ridiculous distro comparisons. Stop with this elitism, even if done humorously. People of all experience levels can be found using different distros, and they all have unique advantages, disadvantages, and communities built around them. Don't shame the great effort that people put into maintaining and developing distros, repositories, and packages. A noob can use Arch, and a master can use Ubuntu. Use what appeals to you, and be happy in knowing you can experiment or stick to anything. This is the beauty of FOSS and the Linux ecosystem; it's a great place for both tinkerers as well as those who want familiarity. There is no one true way.

I've had that mindset of "10 years is a long time; what's one more day" since adolescence. Boom, now it's 16 years in the future and I'm suddenly a dysfunctional adult struggling to get through each day.

But on the bright side, I just began medication for ADHD, and it's not only life changing, it's life saving. I feel capable, motivated, and determined for the first time in my life. Let's build the future so that 2035 will be a milestone for humanity!

That's not bios; that's the os. It's not a bsod; that's systemd running on Linux.
