  1. Even Einstein didn’t understand it, so don’t feel too bad: I can see the first real world application of this (probably still many moons out) in communication. Near-zero internet latency and instantaneous communication & control of spacecraft would be possibilities.
  2. They lost to every ranked team they played this season except for their win over #24 Okie State last week. They also lost to eventual 4-8 UCLA.
  3. I’d take a look at LEGO Boost: https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Creative-17101-Educational-Award-Winning/dp/B072MK1PDV It is not as complex as Mindstorms but is a fun way to start off with programming and building robots. It is geared toward 7-12 year olds and if they really like it, you can move them onto the Mindstorms versions.

  9. Two words for you: Teddy. Bridgewater.
  10. I had knee surgery to fix a torn meniscus as well as a calcium phosphate injection to address cartilage loss in February. The total bill for the 8 hour hospital stay & surgery was $120k. The medical center where the surgery was performed was a single $89k line item. The insurance company ended up paying $15k for the entire procedure while my portion was $2k. I realize I went to a highly rated surgeon but I don’t understand the pricing scheme at all.
  11. Looks like Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast & Jedi Academy are coming to the Switch. Outcast will be released on 9/24 while Academy sometime next year: https://www.cnet.com/news/two-of-the-best-star-wars-games-are-coming-to-nintendo-switch-and-ps4/

  17. What are the odds he was looking at his phone right before the accident?
  18. Looks like they will be releasing FFVII on the Switch as well:
  19. Take my money.
