Highly recommend it, Tina Fey is an icon. Just beware that you'll be quoting her character more often than you'll notice yourself.

Elon Musk is very likely a supporter of eugenics and since he's also a narcissist who thinks he's better than everyone else, it makes sense that he's obsessed with spreading his genes.

Just remember to conveniently ignore actually raising those kids, and those who happen to not fit his mold of what a person should be like (e.g. if they happen to be trans or see through a modicum of his bullshit)

DC actually has a higher "let go" threshold than AC does so you'd likely be more okay from a slightly higher voltage DC shock than a lower voltage AC shock.

Where? I have never experienced this before.

The IEEE reference style guide actually often works just like this, the entire reference is just a number in brackets in the text and then the details of the reference is in the bibliography at the end. For example

...a high correlation as shown in [5]... 



[5]     A.N. Author, P. Ostdoc, and O. Verworked "A paper about a thing" Department, University, City, etc.

I'd just like to note that a lot of storage technologies that are currently in the pilot project stage are based on using components with existing supply lines to minimize the time and effort needed to scale up production.

What do you mean AC "lets you go"? AC causes muscle contractions which keep you from, for example, letting go of a live wire.

Agreed, I've unfortunately not been able to find it anywhere else though.

Can't change the past, only decide what to do in the future. I agree that it should have been done straight away but perfect shouldn't be the enemy of good, going back to check up on it is better than not doing anything.

My personal hope is that this is the end of the Russian Federation. It's an enormous country which has oppressed and subjugated a bunch of different cultural and ethnic groups to homogenize Russian society according to the leaders' ideals for a long time and I think it would be better if it was split into smaller countries that would hopefully allow for actual democracy closer to the people.
