Is it ironic that all the survivors also happen to be the ones who don’t understand survivorship bias?
‘Man’ is often used in the same way as ‘mankind’
Yes, which is why without the “a” doesn’t work. He wasn’t saying “A small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind” because that’s nonsensical.
He was saying he (a man) was literally taking a step with his leg, but it was a figuratively large step for the species because of where/how he was taking that step.
The beauty of a time machine though is even if you take a really long time to build it, you can just go back and build it faster.
It “works” in that we know what he meant, but it literally doesn’t work without the “a”.
Didn’t NASA confirm a little while back that it was likely a transmission issue?

0·1 day agoOf course, but we’re talking safety here. The claim is that ICE vehicles are less safe than EVs. I’m wondering how that is since all of the safety features will be essentially the same.
If you’re saying one has a higher risk of fire injury I’d love to see the stats on that as fires for either type are pretty rare.

I love that this joke just keeps on giving
Obviously it would give you mono, not meningitis (it’s the kissing disease after all).
The real danger is that cooties can lay dormant in your nervous system and flare up again when you’re older. That’s why it’s very important to get circle circle dot dot vaccinated.
Edited: mono for mumps because I’m a dummy
Better than before the call

You could? K, well then I’ll be the weird fan pressure and expectations




Seems to align with my personal experience that turning on the filter (but also really turning down the brightness more than the default settings on the phone allow) makes me fall asleep sooner, but that could easily be from just training myself over time that this is the signal to start the sleep shutdown process.
