Trump just told his chief of staff to write down the nuclear launch codes somewhere where he wouldn’t keep losing them.

Mark Zuckerberg, probably.

There’s no objective measure for quantifying similarity. We can measure relative similarity, though—but that scale will vary depending on what it’s relative to.

We could measure genetic similarity relative to a typical unrelated person, or relative to the nearest non-human animal, or relative to the most distantly-related living organism, or relative to random noise. (And you can do the same for facial similarity.)

In plain terms, energy has gravity.

Through mass/energy equivalence, E=mc². Energy distorts spacetime the same as its equivalent rest mass.

Energy bends spacetime, just like matter. Is that what you mean?

Is there a source for the involvement of AOC or other “progressives” in the race? The article doesn’t mention them.

• Are you aphantasic (unable to form mental images of things based on descriptions)?

• Have you tried audiobooks?

• Have you tried reading books of movies you’ve already seen (so you don’t have to keep track of characters and plot, and can focus on the elements unique to prose)?

It gets worse over time but it also eventually gets better, after the deleterious recessive alleles have been eliminated. Like in herd animals where a herd has only one breeding male per generation, so every generation is half-siblings.

The general rule is that a population with a fixed degree of inbreeding will have a corresponding number of deleterious alleles so that the selection pressure balances out; but when you change the degree of inbreeding, you get a spike in expressed mutations until things balance out again.

I assume it’s an access plate to service the door mechanism.

Why not ask them to buy two tickets while they’re at it?

The ones in my neighborhood prefer unsalted peanuts.

As for the city codes—while they could probably get you for it if they wanted, I think those laws are intended more for the folks who throw out whole cups of birdseed to attract flocks of pigeons. It’s better for crows if you throw out one or two nuts at a time, discreetly so other birds don’t see.

Items would just be sold with enough lead weights stuck on to make the total weight proportional to the market value.

Are you talking about a philosophical zombie?

Her Wikipedia page says she was a Republican until 2022 (the year she left the pro-PRC news site and joined the city council), but then switched parties.

Wang and Sun operated the news website U.S. News Center, aimed at the Chinese American community, and were instructed by Chinese government officials to post pro-PRC content on it.

So was she acting as a Chinese agent in her role as mayor, or just as the operator of a website posting PRC propaganda?

If I had to coin a term, I’d call it “aesthetic ergodicity”.

As in, a culture that keeps revisiting every combination of aesthetic parameters over and over with no long-term trend.
