I love that they added a separate line item for number of submarines killed. LOL.

I love this guy's channel. Two of my other favorite things he's done are: Uppest Case / Lowest Case, and that time he Reverse Emulated a NES.

... Ok, fair. 11,000 years was the wrong cut-off date. 12 - 13,000 years would have illustrated my point better.

Not even anywhere near that long. There have been humans for probably more than 200,000 years. Probably more. It gets confusing when you go back that far. But our written history only accounts for maybe 10,000 of those years. So 5% of total human history, if we take the minimum estimate of what it takes for us to be human. We have no evidence to support the fact that human advancement even lasts as long as written history. I mean, shit... the Romans had central heating and cement, and then they died out and we forgot how to do those things for 1,000 years. Our knowledge, and the acquisition of same is not exactly linear. Lots of fits and starts over the course of the various human civilizations that have occurred.

What happened 11,000 years ago? I mean, we've got some pottery fragments. Other than that, ???

Depends on your definition of "long-term". The biggest accomplishments of Man have been acknowledged for maybe 10,000 years at the very extreme limits. 10,000 years is not even a drop in the bucket of geological or celestial time. So it very much depends on your perspective.

'Cause I'm drunk on a Thursday (Friday very early in the morning), and I've lost control of my life.

Shit - I love "Commandos". Such a rad game.

I'd watch that tape.

See - shit like this is why I don't really get my hopes up for the UAP hearings. Trump randomly throws out nuclear secrets just to impress people, because he's a dumb piece of shit. Does anybody really think that idiot could keep his trap shut about proof of alien life?

MLA format would be something like this:

Maneuver, The Picard. The Delusion. Picard, 2023.

Then, in your paper, to reference it, just write "(Maneuver 2023)".

Definitely makes sense. They know they can't count on the Kerch bridge being there. Still, with the heavy fortifications they've got around Tokmak, it feels premature to abandon it. I welcome it, of course, but it really feels like a lynch pin.

 

So I'm gearing up to take a calculus 1 exam, and this question is on the sample test. My initial thought was that since we are looking for F(9), and F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x), I can just use the integral of the equation of f(x) at 9, which is f(x) = -2x/3 + 5, which, when integrated, becomes -x^2/3 + 5x + 2 (C = 2 because F(0) = 2). Thing is, though, that won't give me any of the answers listed. And even after taking the integral of all of the equations of f(x), I still have no idea how to produce any of the answers in the multiple choice.

I'm super stumped on this one. Any help would be welcome!
