One of the most thought provoking speeches I've seen in a while.

@Miss_Snuffy on how raising a generation to see the world through oppressors and the oppressed is changing the West.

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.

The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).

Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

.@GadSaad agrees with Orwell: it takes an intellectual to come up with truly stupid ideas. When academics are disconnected from reality or accountability, bad ideas spread like parasites. While STEM professionals have to answer for their mistakes, humanities professors build theories that no one ever has to test. That lack of accountability is exactly how toxic ideas take over a university and eventually a culture. If these professors can't survive the scrutiny of their own ideas, should they be teaching our children? Watch here 👉https://t.co/exAlMFJlca

The Avengers as a 1989 TV show intro is the best thing ever.

Your plastic Tupperware drinks cooking oil like a sponge drinks water. That's why no wash works.

Polypropylene sits at 30 mN/m surface energy. Olive oil sits at 32. Water sits at 72. The plastic and the oil are nearly the same family of molecule. They bond on contact.

The mechanism is solvent chemistry. Polypropylene and polyethylene are long hydrocarbon chains. Cooking oils are also hydrocarbon chains. "Like dissolves like" is the basic rule. After about 30 minutes of contact, oil molecules slot into the microscopic gaps in the polymer matrix. The surface swells. The container becomes an oil-saturated polymer.

This is why soap fails on the 5th wash. Soap is amphiphilic, one end grabs water, one end grabs oil. But it can only act on what's actually on the surface. The oil that absorbed into the plastic wall is sitting below the working zone. You're scrubbing a surface that has nothing left to remove.

Same mechanism explains why your curry-stained Tupperware never recovers. Turmeric and tomato pigments dissolve in oil. The oil dissolves into the plastic. The pigments come along for the ride and embed inside the polymer wall. The orange tint is structural now.

Glass doesn't do this. Surface energy around 300 mN/m, roughly ten times higher than plastic. Oil sits on top. Water displaces it instantly. Soap finishes the job in one pass. That's why your grandma's Pyrex from 1985 still looks new and your six-month-old Tupperware looks ten years old.

One number on a materials chart. That's the entire difference.

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀

Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety.

FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety.

All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

Capitalism creates so there’s more for everyone.

Socialism is the weaponization of greed and envy making everyone worse off.

"Top Secret!" (1984) is super silly and funny. This is a classic action comedy parody film by the trio Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker (the team behind Airplane! and The Naked Gun).
Val Kilmer plays the lead role – this is also his film debut.
