Sure we do. It stands for “negative log.” We don’t know the etymology of why that letter was chosen for the concept.

12 year old: “When you take a poop you leave a log, when you pee, negative log.”

That’s the third version if you start reading about it. Other say power some say potential.

It’s the best

Well that’s fucking ruined my evening.

TIL that until the 70s and 80s doctors would regularly perform full surgery on newborns without anesthesia based on the mistaken belief that they don’t feel pain…

Fuck…

Has any ever held a baby getting a shot. The sure as shot can feel pain.

Is there a global warming thread?

Only about 15 percent of US respondents said that high- and middle-income Americans share responsibility for climate change and natural destruction. Instead, they attribute the most blame to businesses and governments of wealthy countries.

A favorite TikTok poster of mine gives a masterclass on capitalism, socialism and communism.

I’ve always been a social media hater but some of these people really have found a way to grift millions w/ minimal effort and talent. Things guy used to do NYC apartment reviews.

What is even in those videos? Because none of that is real afaik.

it’s pretty much just clips of him talking to the camera in front of parked police cars in NYC mixed with clips of fox news.

Its pretty gross, its just blatant lies. There is one guy who goes around SF talking about how the city is deserted and filled with wandering zombie homeless, where he walks down a street and points out everything that is closed (while people wearing suits with briefcases casually walk past, morning joggers are on the sidewalk and people with families happily push their kids in strollers while walking their dogs.)

It appeals to the lowest common denominator of monkey fear. Its so gross.

The whole country is rabidly anti-immigrant to a degree I’ve never seen before. The right keeps pushing the rhetoric and the Dems don’t ever challenge the basic message.

This is a traumatic read. On the Darien gap from Columbia to Panama.

Some of the people smugglers come across suprisingly well imo.
