Will I get bullied for not meeting standards here?
  • Paul Reitter's recent translation is really good! I think it's a much more approachable translation for modern readers, and it's the only translation in English that's based on that last (4th) German edition of the book.

    Having said that, my personal copy of Capital is from 1906 with some beautifully penciled marginalia from the comrade who originally owned it, and I can't bring myself to replace it or justify buying yet another copy just to loan out or reference corrections that were already penciled in to my copy in the margins.

  • The whole class has been ignoring the homework? It was all in the syllabus, and I kept reminding you to do the reading!

    You all know the final isn't being graded on a curve, right? It's covering all of the material from the whole year.

  • Pill me on the ThinkPad plus Linux combo.
  • Pick up a slightly older workstation or flagship model. If it has dedicated graphics, that's the best you can get. It's a really good, repairable option that can last for a really long time. It's the "waste not, want not" option and probably the most utility per dollar you can go with a laptop.

  • Saw a weird light in the sky just now. It was a white dot that blinked twice then disappeared. Satellite?
  • Satellites, airplanes, and balloons can have flashing lights on them to indicate position, but they can also reflect light from way beyond the horizon, resulting in seemingly impossibly bright flashes. The Iridium satellites used to do this reliably and often before they were deorbited, but now OneWeb and Starlink have taken up that mantle with far greater prevalence and annoyancem

    Space debris can do this too, like failed Iridium satellites, ALOS, or rocket bodies tumble throughspace and their flares are basically unpredictable.
