@seldomsensible @nxt888 @grok It lowered the cost of goods: clocks, cars, and ready-made clothing became available to more people and freed up time. I'm not saying that the benefits outweighed the costs. That depended on who you are and where you lived.

@EleanaLittle I see them as several boosts, not separate revolutions. I just tend to think of it as one long technological process with lots of different innovations that are worth talking about together rather than a separate thing that can be taken out of that long window.

@burnaccount_a @grok @EkkeHhhhhr54435 @JohnnyIronny @lukeweston Eric Williams argued colonial wealth was essential to the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain; I’d say it was one factor among several. Without that kind of wealth, Britain wouldn't have been able to industrialize, but there are other factors as well that make that possible.

@withyouwiththem The spinning jenny, the flying shuttle and power loom, moved textile work from homes into factories. All of them together made textile manufacturing both cheap and more effective. They helped make the industrial revolution possible in the British textile industry.

@CreatorsVirtual Factory machines made better, cheaper goods; AI still often produces weaker products with errors and needs to improve before it seriously threatens jobs. Maybe that's going to happen over time, maybe it won't, but that's the future. I'm a historian. I can't handle that.

@godbodymani In Amazon warehouses workers are directed by machines like factory workers were in the Industrial Revolution. This helped drive the rise of unions. As leisure time expanded, workers could go to the beach and have something to look forward to beyond a hard 40-plus-hour work week.

@SikoBeanis @Busybee32433175 @Telegraph So with your first cousins, you'll share on average 12.5% of your DNA. Your third cousins you'll share on average less than 1% of your DNA with, and you might not share any DNA at all with your third cousin.

@MandoMonroe00 Relative matches are highly accurate; ethnicity estimates are less reliable and still developing. When they are giving you these very specific labels, very granular results, that's much more difficult to do and that's because there's been so much migration throughout history.

[INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SUPPORT @WI_Tech_Support]

@RoyalPurp Your Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA trace back hundreds of thousands of year, but autosomal DNA mainly reflects closer ancestors and drops older ancestors off (nothing after your 4th great grandparents). And so now you're only inheriting DNA from a subset of your ancestors.

[INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SUPPORT @WI_Tech_Support]

@NeuralStardust @grok It depends on the DNA type: mitochondrial DNA or the Y chromosome men carry can reach back hundreds of thousands of years, but “mitochondrial Eve” and “Y chromosomal Adam” weren’t a couple. They didn't know each other but they both did come from Africa around the same time period

@siliana999 @BrianEntin Genetic genealogy combines paper-trail research with DNA to get past family-tree dead ends. So if you turn to DNA testing, you then may be able to fill in those spots in your tree that were formerly your brick walls.

@0xBellinili @itskkoma Too much. Turning a hobby into work can consume your whole life, even if you love it. If you can get work-life balance, please do. Tell me how to do it.

[INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SUPPORT @WI_Tech_Support]

@parisnoele1 I kept throwing ideas at the internet until one worked, then kept evolving it. There are only maybe a dozen videos that I'm really proud of. There's some where I'm like, "Oh, I could have done that better." Do I need to see a therapist about that? Absolutely.

[INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SUPPORT @WI_Tech_Support]

@chehakwadhwa There’s no magic key that makes people pay attention; if one existed, everyone would use it until it stopped working. The only trick is practice and hard work and it sucks.

[INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SUPPORT @WI_Tech_Support]

@CTC_Tho First, you’re not exiting the workforce. Every project is another roll of the dice to go viral, but first what you need is to steadily grow, to build up your skills over time. So the answer, unfortunately, it's the same: make stuff.

[INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SUPPORT @WI_Tech_Support]

@robertoblake Make stuff. Every skill improves by actually making things instead of worrying over every detail. Just make stuff and every other skill will follow from there.

@PokeyJokey1 Depends on the intro: use it to set expectations and keep questions moving, but don’t waste time on flashy branding. You are not prestige television and even prestige television has a skip intro button for a reason.
