@LordStoppington Linear TV? Only news & MOTD when I'm at my parents'. Streaming? Way too much content, so I've restricted myself to basically SciFi shows… also a wee bit more demanding intellectually. But I've also got Jellyfin on a home server with a good amount of content.
@VolatilityQ Mandela seems to have read his Franz Kafka—and seems to have disagreed: "Fear is the misfortune; therefore it is not courage that is the happiness, but fearlessness." (Diaries, October 11, 1921)
@TheMarketDog@VolatilityQ I'm still a little bit into football, mainly to keep old friendships alive & to watch MOTD w/ my old man. But the rest? God, no.
@VolatilityQ So who put the mirrors on the moon, right where the Apollos landed, that reflect laser beams from Earth to measure the exact distance & which are accessible scientists (and the public) in three US observatories?
@VolatilityQ Also just a few thousand left globally after the Toba eruption 74,000 years ago… iirc – at least there was a correlation of eruption & genetic bottleneck.
