TIL Tungsten is represented as W on the periodic table. But you lost me with the rest…
The “J” stood for statinum, as in, right the fuck now, playing off tungsten being W on the periodic table.
Bed time here. Maybe I wake up to a humourous reveal here tomorrow.
Well played :)
I mean that must have been his pun from the outset but it didn’t occur to me.
Makes me more likely to watch. Maybe OP isn’t aware of Veritasium’s reputation.

sqgl@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk’s Grok AI Has a Problem: It’s Too Accurate for Conservatives | MAGA folks can't believe their preferred chatbot won't reaffirm all their beliefs2·2 months agoThe Left appropriated the term “woke” from black jive talk of 90 years ago. That’s a smug term and it definitely is a major gripe by MAGA against the Left.
It would have been better to use the term compassionate. I know it is four syllables but the Right couldn’t ridicule compassion.

This week I learned that, in Australia, historical electoral rolls have not been kept since 2008.
Before that they were kept as microfische and you can still access those physical records but only in the national capital’s library in Canberra.
So even though it is easy now to archive, they have stopped. Each year the roll would be only about 4GB (18 million voters, 200 characters/bytes per voter). ie would fit on a DVD.
Certain bodies like researchers and (presumably) cops can get the whole thing each year so we can only hope they are keeping archives.

By coincidence it recently bottomed out at exactlyv that same level as just before the Trump election.
Then we had last week’s 26.7% bump for the not quite accurate tariff 90 day suspension.
It dropped a little when Trump said not all tariffs will be suspended (most will stay at 10%) and now has stayed steady ever since.
This article is stupid.
Yeah it seems to merely be a business decision, less about a conscience and more about avoiding losing more anti-trust suits.
