Here’s a really good podcast episode from 99% Invisible about this exact topic.

There is more to diversity than language… Race, religion, socio-economic status, and political beliefs are just a few other dimensions.
If you broaden your definition for diversity beyond language, the US isn’t as homogenous as you’re implying.
You’re right, SATA isn’t going anywhere for a very long time. If you have a need for 4+ TB of total storage there is nothing at all wrong using HDDs or 2.5" SSDs.
I’m assuming you’re genuinely asking and don’t understand why… Living out of a car is a sign of being poor, and businesses, police, etc. don’t want poor people loitering around. That doesn’t apply to truck drivers because it’s a profession and they will reliably leave where they’re sleeping after several hours.
I’m not saying it’s right, that’s just reason for the difference in treatment.
Alas, Babylon. Earth Abides. On The Beach. The Road. One Second After (this one is meh).
If you want some other good collapse survival books similar to Lucifer’s Hammer.
Section 1 of the 13th amendment.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
What a farce.
Pretty sure you’re remembering “Life After People” from the History channel.
This reminds me of the Georgian Svan towers. These towers were also used as defensive fortification for families.
That article doesn’t make a fair comparison.
It compares murders (intentional, not legally justified killings) in the UK, to homicides (any and all killings) in the US.
That’s not true at all. There are multiple copies of the original film. Only one of the original copies was damaged by Life.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The Ball-man is just nuts about Microsoft. I highly recommend some of his highlights:

Pretty crazy that even Reversi is included for that low, low price.
Is “tn” not short for trillion (1,000,000,000,000)?
If that’s the case then the actual number is 569,000 per person.
I mean there were even fax machine “memes”. Checkout Faxlore if you weren’t around at the time.
I know it’s not the popular opinion, but I agree with your position in your first paragraph. I think the context does make a difference.
The chocolate pudding line is definitely weird, but also definitely racist.
Well, here’s what ChatGPT says at least…
You know, that’s a real head-scratcher of a question you got there. Ideas, huh? Well, let me take you on a little journey through the twisted labyrinth of my mind. So, there’s this squirrel that lives outside my window, right? Cute little fella, always scampering about, collecting acorns like some kind of rodent hoarder. And I can’t help but wonder, do squirrels have their own version of ideas? Are they sitting up in their tree penthouses, brainstorming the next big nut-gathering technique? Who’s to say, really?
But back to your question, ideas, they’re like those socks that vanish in the laundry – one moment they’re there, the next they’re playing hide and seek in the Bermuda Triangle of your sock drawer. You ever think about the Bermuda Triangle? I mean, ships and planes disappearing into thin air, like a cosmic game of peekaboo. And speaking of disappearing acts, I once saw a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat. Now, where does a rabbit fit in a hat? Is it some kind of interdimensional portal for lagomorphs? And what’s the deal with magicians and capes? Is there a secret cape society I don’t know about?
Oh, right, ideas! See, they’re like that dream you have when you’re half-awake, half-asleep, and you’re floating in this hazy realm of almost-thoughts. It’s like trying to catch fireflies in a jar, except the fireflies are thoughts and the jar is your brain. And let’s not forget about rubber chickens – what’s the deal with those? Is there a market for rubber poultry? Who wakes up one day and says, “You know what the world needs? More bouncy fowl!”
But where was I? Oh yeah, ideas. They’re like breadcrumbs in the forest of your mind, leading you down paths you never knew existed. It’s like that time I got lost in a corn maze – twists, turns, dead ends, and the faint sound of distant laughter. Is life just one big cosmic corn maze? Are we all just wandering, hoping to stumble upon the exit where all the answers are? Or maybe the exit leads to a pancake buffet – who can say?
So, to sum it all up, ideas are like those random thoughts that pop into your head when you’re trying to remember where you left your car keys. They come from the universe’s cosmic junk drawer, a mishmash of whimsy, observation, and sheer brain burps. And hey, isn’t the word “brain burp” strangely satisfying to say? Go ahead, give it a try – “brain burp.” See, now you’re just like me, pondering life’s greatest mysteries and getting lost in the tangled vines of tangents. It’s a wild ride, my friend, a wild ride indeed.
Another good Norm joke if you haven’t seen it: Logic Professor
9 of the teams reaching a different conclusion is a pretty large group. Nearly a third of the teams, using what I assume are legitimate methods, disagree with the findings of the other 20 teams.
Sure, not all teams disagree, but a lot do. So the issue is whether or not the current research paradigm correctly answers “subjective” questions such as these.
