I learned a bit about fracking today and even relative to my prior expectation holy cow does it sound like sorcery. As one example of many, how do you think they get information from bottom of the well to top of the well while drilling?

Ok, solution time. But first: ☠️ General Discussion ☠️ Let's talk about the Axiom of Choice. What it means for a set X to be empty is that ∀x (x ∉ X). Thus, what it means for a set X to be nonempty is that ¬∀x (x ∉ X). Equivalently, "X is nonempty" means ∃x (x ∈ X).

The Soviet ЭШ 6/45 Walking Excavator is like a living piece of post-apocalyptic artwork. The rust, the mismatched curtains, even the fact it's decades old and built in a country which no longer exists.

A candle produces roughly the same amount of energy as a resting human — 80 to 100 watts, also consuming about the same amount of oxygen and producing the same amount of CO2. In an enclosed area, adding candles is about like adding people from an air quality standpoint.

Via this *fascinating* review of Julian Jaynes's classic psychology text, "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind", which essentially posits that Bronze Age gods were not metaphors but how people heard their internal voices slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/01/boo…
