10/10 very much recommend doing this for your significant other.

Getting an accurate tally of the total number of privately owned guns is hard, but by any measure it’s ridiculously high.

As of 2017, American civilians own 46% (approximately 393.3 million) of the world’s 857 million civilian-use firearms.

Yes, the more rural and conservative states have more guns per capita. But even little New Jersey, with “only” 1.1 guns per 1,000 residents, has over 102k guns in the state. Nobody in the US is lacking for access to firearms.

Both are hosted in Europe.

How so? Masked men grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk off the street, caught on camera and even questioned by passers by. I haven’t seen their identites released, and I don’t see how it will happen unless the federal government wants it to happen.

Nice visualization. Unfortunately the domain it’s blocked on my work network for some reason. Hopefully others don’t have the same problem.

Short summary in case you cannot access the site:
The DOGE cuts represent <1% of federal spending. They are targeted for political messaging and stoking culture wars, not for reducing the deficit or cutting the size of government. Which shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.

The Wikipedia article describes the biological act of a “cloaca kiss,” which may or may not be exactly what it sounds like depending on an individual’s imagination.

There it is. That should have been the post title.

At this point I have to admit that I am out of my depth. We need a real physics major to chime in.

Cool video. Doing the double-slit experiment in my freshman physics class is a favorite memory from college. Seeing it in person blew everyone’s minds, even the kids who had learned about the experiment before.

If you google “is energy conserved in the double-slit experiment” you’ll find some physics forums with decent answers. Basically, the total energy emitted by the light source does not change. Energy is conserved. Don’t think of the laser light as a discrete beam that is being split off onto a second path. Instead, imagine that the laser light is constantly shining all over that foil and card. The dark regions appear dark because the light waves there are canceled out by interference from adjacent light waves. Similarly, the red areas are illuminated because in those areas the adjacent waves did not cancel each other out. The bright spots visible on the polarized foil occur because the polarizer blocks thin regions of the light, preventing them from canceling out adjacent light that wasn’t blocked. So light wasn’t redirected there, but was always there and was simply made visible to us by the effect of the polarizer.

Light, quantum mechanics, and the probabilistic nature of the universe are all real head trips. I still struggle to wrap my mind around them. As such, there’s a good chance my simplistic paragraph above is incorrect or misleading, so take my answer with a grain of salt.

Don’t give them ideas.

Thanks for letting me be one of today’s lucky 10,000.

Careful, that’s how that one evil boyfriend in Scott Pilgrim died.

Absolutely brilliant.

I got to experience it firsthand a few days ago from me a MAGA relative. “Don’t believe the hysterical media. It’s all a manufactured crisis by the liberals to take advantage of people.”

The ending was fire. 🔥
