One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.

This should be hanging in a museum.

The paper this article talks about was authored by an evolutionary biologist that wanted to talk about environmental science problems and social responsibility. Ignoring the concepts of personal property and ownership and stuff, think about this for a minute. 81% of Americans own a yard, but how many of them do you see growing crops in that space? How much more effectively COULD that land be utilized towards the common good if it were managed in some way? Or from the other side: the Alaskan government had to step in and put a halt on Bering Sea crab harvests for a few years because the numbers were critically low. Do you think all of the individual fishermen who are reliant on that income would have voluntarily stopped? Would they even have known the crab population was dwindling?

I'll allow it, but only if we can somehow put the same flashing red banner on top of politicians in real life.

I know this is sort of still doable with aliexpress kits, but I miss the days of being able to make "weird" builds. My first build was an Athlon XP-M 2500+. It was a mobile chip that was just a binned desktop chip. It used the same socket as desktop, had no IHS, and ran at a "lower voltage" thanks to the binning. Overclockers DREAM in back in like 2005.

There's a reason they call it the tragedy of the commons.

Edit: The full paper is available online if anyone is interested. Here's a copy from a university in Michigan. https://pages.mtu.edu/~asmayer/rural_sustain/governance/Hardin%201968.pdf

Remember when search summaries were just extracts from the top result instead of LLM hallucinations? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Huh, I've been watching them since like 2016 or so and I seem to remember him hosting more frequently back in the day. Seems like now he does most of the main channel videos while everyone else handles Short Circuit and the like. My personal theory is that Linus is grooming Elijah to be his replacement. But we'll see.

He's also put a lot of work into creating a team of hosts that are genuinely wonderful to watch. Riley, Jake, Sarah, James, and Elijah to name a few. Best thing he could do for his brand is step out of the limelight, focus on being "chief vision officer" and let his wonderful talent fully take over hosting.

Case in point - see the Firefly bluray transfer. I think they took the format name literally because the black levels in some scenes got raised to the point that there's just this blue haze in parts of the scene.
