Columbus is never going anywhere. He single handedly changed world history. He may be hated and reviled in 2021 but he aint going anywhere. Your children a thousand years from now will hear about Columbus but not about Biden or Trump. 

Science is awesome. The fact that we can know to the exact year when Vikings visited the Americas just from analyzing some thousand-year-old wood fragments is just about the coolest shit ever.

Here is a list of things that people that was never going to be possible until it was...

I think this gets lost: fusion could be an absolutely transformational technology that makes a lot of energy-intensive things feasible. Desalination is a great example, as is mass removal of CO2 from the air to start to reverse global warming, but I’m sure there are many innovations that we can’t imagine that will…

Imagine, very tall poles w/ very powerful infrared heater lamps (etc) on top!

I’ve had even worse/hilarious experience than that.

What’s great is that even now, 6% of electricity consumed in the EU comes from fusion power, beamed from space!

I don’t think this is targeted to kids. I might get one for my office.

But this is honest to goodness good advice to give teens. Yes, masturbate instead of vaping. Shit, go run a few laps instead of vaping.  Sing a song instead of vaping.  Just do something other than fucking vape like a douch.

Umm... how do I open my contacts here?

Its no wonder their life expectancy was so short....they basically died from the smell. I am not a fan of perfume/cologne as most people wear too much. If I wear it all, I spray it in the air and walk through it, which is more than enough.

The kids was suspended for 10 days for a harmless prank? Dumb. Not as dumb as Erickson, but dumb.

Anything other than a rotary dial would be sacrilege.

I was hit by a wave of nostalgia, firstly (less so) because of FP and secondly because... hanging up used to rule. You could hang up softly, romantically or even salaciously, you could professionally “good-bye-madam” hang up, or you could “f$#* all y’all” slam the thing down, leaving a ring of the telephone’s bell…

My thought exactly while reading that, thanks.
