danc4498 , to Videos in Biden campaign rally - 6/28/2024

That was a great speech…. For Biden.

Makes me wonder what our world would be like if Biden had run against Hillary and Bernie in 2016.

We need to get rid of maps altogether and go with proportional representation. Why does my state give republicans 8 reps and democrats 1 rep when the split is more like 48%-35%? There’s no map that will give 5 to republicans, 3 to democrats and 1 to an independent. That is what is fair.

I honestly didn’t think he went that hard on you… It definitely didn’t come across as a “shut up and listen here” comment.

That said, if you saw any of the clips, I think it was clear and obvious that his stutter was not the issue.

In 2020, there was a lot of talk about his stutter, and that made seemed right. Here lately Biden is giving me “Weekend at Bernie” vibes.

I would love this too. But still I would love something official that would designate which items are the over processed ones.

Though, the Supreme Court is about to make the FDA useless, so that won’t work soon.

It’s the same with using LLM’s for writing. It won’t deliver a finished product, but it will give you ideas that can be used in the final product.

There’s a fatal flaw in this that she never even addressed. In the beginning, she said she is always wearing a hat. Well, if she’s carrying a bag, she’s no longer wearing a hat! I think she needs to make the bag in a way that she can still wear the hat while it’s a bag.

I think it would help. Often times all the items on the shelf look the same with the exception of price.

You add a warning label on one item and the item next to it is $2 more and doesn’t have the warning, I am likely to buy the more expensive item.

danc4498 , (edited ) to Videos in Neil deGrasse Tyson reads his peer review of Terrence Howard's mathematics theories

Hmm, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about at this point… I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree. With only the context of Tyson’s video, I felt it was douchey.

Considering he has a reputation for being douchey in literally the same manner, but towards common people, it seemed like par for the course with him.

danc4498 , to Videos in Neil deGrasse Tyson reads his peer review of Terrence Howard's mathematics theories

Rather than giving an entire unsolicited peer review, I would just mention there were issues with the paper and offer a full peer review if he’s interested. It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.

Now, if that happened, or if Terrence sent the paper and asked for a full peer review, I would take back my comment. But based on this video, it didn’t feel like that’s what happened.

There's a wide range of reactions that are not douchey while being both honest and on topic.

danc4498 , to Videos in Neil deGrasse Tyson reads his peer review of Terrence Howard's mathematics theories

So we're in agreement that what he did was douchey.

There's many things he could have done that weren't douchey.

danc4498 , to Videos in Neil deGrasse Tyson reads his peer review of Terrence Howard's mathematics theories

I'm not saying Terrence has any legs to stand on, he doesn't.

I'm just saying it seems a little douchey to get a paper from someone that is in no way a colleague or friend and go to town on that paper. He should have treated it like an amateur that needs encouragement not a colleague that needs the hard truth.

danc4498 , to Videos in Neil deGrasse Tyson reads his peer review of Terrence Howard's mathematics theories

It still comes off a bit douchey. He kept saying that his bluntness of the peer review would be th same as if it was a friend or colleague requesting a peer review. I didn't get the impression that Howard was a friend or a colleague and certainly did not request a peer review. Or even understand the process of a peer review for that matter.

With that said, I do find the video interesting from the perspective of a person that also doesn't know anything about a peer review.

Minus the words, I think the picture would be a really cool shirt.
