Do not confuse welfare with Universal Basic Income. If you get $1k in welfare does it make sense to take a $1k job, lose your welfare and end up with the same $1k? No.

If you get $1k UBI, does it make sense to take a $1k job and end up with $2k? Yes.

This is why so many pilots show increases in work.

They discuss different approaches towards the writing of different writers, faith, and the logic of the landmine with the flashy lights.

Talk about silk purses from sow’s ears!

I take my 13yo episodes, some of which we recorded over Skype and sound pretty janky, run them through ’s , isolate the voices and process them through the tool, then re-integrate it replacing the original voices and it actually sounds pretty good.

AI tools have their place (just probably not as information repositories.)

(Needless to say, I don’t have the original master recordings anymore.)

Justice Alito, you’ll remember, shuns the SOTU, because attending a presidential address sends the wrong message about our independent judiciary.

It's been more than 5 years since the great documentary "American Factory" came out.

Did no one at TSMC bother to watch it? This reads like falling into the same cross-cultural traps all over again.

Bonus episode discussion this week is the first episode of the 2024 Doctor Who series, Space Babies, by Russell T. Davies.

Simon and Eugene discuss whether the best way to introduce the show to a new audience is a massive info dump, what Ron DeSantis would have thought of the episode, and whether it was written by ChatRTD.

This week’s episode under review: Bugs S03E10 – Renegades.

Simon and Eugene discuss whether this episode was always intended to be the finale of season 3, whether it’s another sequel to the Cybernauts, and Eugene gives us his interpretation of Australian Eric Idle.

Incoming! A severe G4 Geomagnetic Storm is expected to arrive around 02:00 UTC Friday night / Saturday morning.

At least 5 Coronal Mass Ejections took place over the past 24 hours, directed towards Earth. These originated from a large and magnetically complex sunspot cluster (NOAA region 3664).

There is potential for disruption of communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.

And bright auroras as far south as Alabama!

It is wild to think there are so many Americans who would vote for a convicted rapist and conman over Joe Biden, solely because Biden is "a career politician." When you hate lifetime civil servants more than you hate rape, theft and insurrection, there's not much else that can be said.

More automakers will need to adopt C-V2X to see a real benefit, though.
