I've always found the Milgram Shock Experiment to be enlightening and ugly in it's conclusion into the human condition. An underlying Machiavellian guidebook to force or recognize obedience structures. The original experiment comes to the following conclusion: Put an individual into a position where a figure of authority directs an individual to pull a trigger, and ~65% of individuals will kill a motherfucker (perhaps feel guilty about it later). It's important that folks understand these experiments were first conducted to try and understand how many German's could just follow orders through out the Holocaust. What's as interesting as the original experiment is the permutations of the experiment that determined the variables that increased and decreased compliance to obedience. Prominence of location (Hospital), Uniform (Doctor's lab coat or nurse uniform), Social Support Conditions (Dissenters punished/encouraged), Two Teacher Condition (proximity to personal responsibility, like say something is mandated). Understanding these set of experiments can help you both institute obedience OR recognize when obedience "structures" are being used. Which may help you better understand the world. Well worth your time to read more into these experiments.

Performance may vary - it's a hard market out there.

In Canada the most difficult part of any move is the major dick around you get by your internet/phone provider trying to notify them to cancel. Power a 2 min questionnaire. Gas a 2 min questionnaire. Well done squad @Rogers @Bell your what makes Canada great.

A dad says Valve has “a customer for life” after the company sent him a free replacement Steam Deck case. He reached out to Steam Support after his baby threw up on the original case and asked if he could buy a new one. Instead, Valve told him they had already ordered a replacement and would send it free of charge. “Valve has a customer for life. I reached out asking if I could buy a replacement case after my newborn got sick all over mine, and they just sent one for free.” “I know it’s a small thing, but this kind of customer service means a lot.”

Y'all got those dark storage numbers too? Perhaps we're really not on empty. 😂

The richest guy on Earth SHOULD be the guy making cutting edge cars and rockets instead of dudes who sell purses and perfumes or dudes who run investment firms or dudes who made Facebook.

Throwing more money at public schools, even doubling teacher salaries, has virtually no effect on student outcomes.

In 1803, a British blacksmith named John Jewitt was taken captive by Chief Maquinna of the Mowachat people of Vancouver Island. He was asked to file the teeth of the Chief’s brother so the guy could bite off his wife’s nose for refusing to put out. Life before Canada. 🪶

After some delay I am back to report the independence question results. Alberta is uncomfortably tight.

We are dangerously close to being able to totally reproduce old cars from raw inputs using only digital manufacturing startups. Two questions: Who’s working on collecting the part files or scans aka the Library of Alexandria for parts? And anyone building seats/furniture products and engines on demand?

Thanks @grok. Now re expand it back to its original length but frame the original message within obscure Norse mythology. Bonus point if you could provide the rune translation as well.

Getting ready to move. Realized we had a ridiculous amount of half finished liquor. Offered it to the father in law. He was more excited about free hooch than the birth of our second child 😅😂.

There are many advantages to having a park in your backyard. Bandit #1 not making it back to his burrow and choosing my porch for his final rest is not one of them. RIP Bandit #1, may you forever frolic in heaven’s pearly trash cans.
