@BrianRoemmele @760_470_2515 Oh wow, I’m only now realizing that I’m old enough to have to explain how early e-mail woked in the same way as I sometimes have to explain rotary-dial phones, manual-crank car windows, VHS tapes, and recording one’s favorite songs off of broadcast radio.

@BrianRoemmele @760_470_2515 And some day, even scrolling on Twitter will require an explanation. Excelsior!

@BrianRoemmele @760_470_2515 Some folks on this here platform are so young as to not know that “podcast” is a play on words combining “broadcast” with “iPod” (a device that was cutting edge in its day but which is rapidly being forgotten).

@Alex63985827725 @SamaHoole But, to your point, what may once have been essential may now be unnecessary or even detrimental to our continued progress. It’s like a retired athlete who no longer burns off a vast quantity of calories and thus knows not to continue eating as if still in training.

@Alex63985827725 @SamaHoole The mammoth hunters didn’t split the atom or land on the moon, either; the point being made is that their diet—rich in protein and saturated fat—fueled the evolutionary brain growth that in turn facilitated Homo sapiens’ later innovations.

@patchinscitadel @Softnessa_ Learning to set and defend boundaries will be way more useful to kids that learning to tolerate trespasses.

@patchinscitadel @Softnessa_ Tolerance would have kept American colonist under the yoke of British rule. Tolerance would have persuaded Rosa Parks to give up her seat on the bus.

@dv_williamson @mikeroweworks I can believe it—she wasn’t done belittling him over what she deemed his awful sense of humor, and she wanted him to know how unimpressed with him she felt. (Plus, I’ll bet he was her ride home and she didn’t want to risk humiliation by asking someone else to come get her.)

@smiivano @Simon_Ingari When AI can replace low-level employees who put together reports, it will also replace the higher-level (and higher-paid) managers whose job was to keep the lower-level employees working. AI will need no oversight; it will only need tech support.

@gldnst23 @nut_history I think these factoids are a testament to the storytelling power of filmmaking. Does Will Smith hit as hard as Muhammad Ali did? Which of the many actors who have portrayed Superman can actually fly?

@Furytech_1 @JSamwise Arya experienced remarkable growth in the series, but remember that Brann now sees past, present, and future, and he is king of six realms and still influential in the seventh.

@Mr_mecmecmec @nettermike It would have been a one-way mission if the airliner’s passengers hadn’t pre-empted the need for it with their own action—when Penney and Sasseville launched their mission, they could not have known that they would be spared from sacrificing themselves.

@HaYoMiDe_ Or, you can multiply the repeating number, then double the result: (5*5)2=25*2=50 (6*6)2=36*2=72 (3*3)2=9*2=18

@HaYoMiDe_ The answer is 18. The pattern is that we add up the repeated number, then multiply the original number by the resulting sum: 5+5=10; 10*5=50 6+6=12; 12*6=72 3+3=6; 6*3=18
