I hope the next stroke gets him.

That's where the question has a lot of interesting back and forth between the limits of my knowledge and how well others can use that knowledge. I know incandescent lightbulbs basically use a filament that loses energy in the form of light (and heat although that isn't desirable). I know there's more to it, but could that description be enough to set Newton or someone else on the path of figuring out the rest and actually making it? Even if it doesn't happen in a single lifetime, it would probably end up happening much earlier.

Who's the character on the left?

I wonder how much a single person from today with moderate technological knowledge could change history.

Like, I can't build a generator or cpu, but I have some knowledge of electricity and logic gates and what modern technology is capable of. Especially if I work with someone properly smart but too early, like Newton (a little past medieval but still). He could probably turn my moderate knowledge into something useful.

Sex should be under social needs, but other than that I don't see what's wrong with it as a general framework.

Why not use the same account for both?

What the US does best: orchestrate a coup.

I was going to say that's impossible, but if enough Biden electors faithlessly vote for her (and aren't just replaced) that she comes in 3rd, it could happen.

Switzerland is a fake country anyway. Just a bunch of mountain Germans who convinced some French and Italians to let them rule.

The only kind of good thing about it is that neutrality is currently better than the positions taken by the real countries its land belongs to.

Kennedy Clan Endorses Biden, in a Show of Force Against R.F.K. Jr.

Damn they’re actually worried about RFK Jr. lmao. I hope he somehow wins a state and causes a lack of a winner.

From what I vaguely remember about the movie, it doesn’t really measure their head but more just reads their mind. Ostensibly it’s basically a personality test, but I think Harry pretty much told it what house to put him in.

It would be hilarious if they just can’t do the trial because no one wants to be a juror.
