No father. Raised by his Grandmother. No heat in the winter. No AC in the summer. No internet. No running water. Limited diet. Grew up on a farm. Bullied. Too poor to afford college without aid.
Invents calculus and becomes the greatest physicist the world had ever known.
On this day in 1687, Sir Isaac Newton publishes Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), one of the most significant works in the history of science.
The Principia*states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a derivation of Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler had first obtained empirically).
@ProudBavaria I'm huge Vic3 supporter and get all the DLCs, but it had huge steam daily player count drop in 2026, after it was declared an "endless" title.
Why is the plummted daily player count not a concern? Talk me away from the edge please!
@mdtf79@GarbageHuman24 Somewhat agree. The bigger concern is the protection and encouragement for this by doctors and the media. I dont want to be mean to ill women who transform into Barbie with 100 surgeries.
But I dont want society and medicine to encourage it as brave or a virtue.
@AndrewYang In a way. But she's either financially irresponsible or she's hiding assets. You can't make 175k a year for 7 years and have saved nothing in retirement or in a brokerage account. Its illiterate.
And she's giving advice to NYC to reject multi-billion development projects.?
@nytimes@TheAthletic Hate that I have to ask, but has the reporter from @TheAthletic who broke this story ever had a romantic relationship with DiJonai Carrington?
Anyway, America needs to start recognizing and calling out racist attitudes, words, and actions regardless of the racists' skin color.
@cmsinvests Lol. No. What were home mortgages in 2007? 75% or more of USA GDP, coming off of a historical 35%?
Whats AI-related percentage of GDP? Not more than 5%. Stocks are overvalued, but were not in 2007 land.
@wil_da_beast630 The song isnt that compelling. It was fought because the Northen states' democratically elected officials, and population, refused to allow slavery to expand under any circumstances. So the South rebelled when their demands weren't met. Thats why it was 100% about slavery.
@wil_da_beast630 The South's slave economy in 1860 was obsolete and sucked.
That's why they got their shit kicked in by the North, which had 3x the GDP and 9 times the manufacturing output.
The country became prosperous after getting rid of the slave economy, not because of it.
@MrAlanSchmidt Hitler shot himself in the mouth because of how afraid he was of what would happen to him...Sadam hid in a hole...what are you talking about?
@ProudBavaria It's a classic paradox title now.
It got good enough that if they shut down support because of low engagement, they'd never hear the end of "Vicky 4 when!?!?"
They should keep making content just to avoid that nightmare meme scenario.
@HouseOfHorrorCo Pretty good. Worth the time to watch. But not a masterpiece or even an Oscar nominee.
Cheap made-for-TV CGI. Not tight and compelling in the first half. Overall inconsistent pacing and acting. Its on par with Bram Stokers Dracula. Will go in my Halloween rotation.
