I just discovered them recently on a spotify suggestion. So glad. Sometimes things just work out. It’s a numbers game. I’ve probably turned away 95% of what spotify recommends. I’ve had premium for a decade and the discover weekly playlist is still hit or miss. Sometimes I see a pattern, like every other week there may be a good song.
I meant S-tier as in ranking. If you look at tier lists on the internet, they will often rank things using letters. I was basically just saying that I consider them to be bands of the highest tier, I’ve attached a link to show you what I mean.
Then NewPipe/freetube for YouTube. In saying this, though, I do acces YT directly if I need to post a comment or something, very occasionally. Not sure if the replacement counts as social media since they are just scrappers, you don’t really interact with others.
I use Signal for family. Couldn’t get friends to jump over. Nobody cares. Everybody loves Whatsucks.
Casual discord user, been looking at options but haven’t made up my mind yet. Probably not worth the hassle considering how little I use it
The PetroDragronic Apocalypse is one of the best records I’ve heard in some time, from any band, in any genre.
I can’t stop listening to it. To add, I’m not really a fan of any of their other records. They’re clearly good, just doesn’t resonate with me as much as this one does.
The Rocking Horse Winner - State of Feeling Concentration (still so, so good, really)
Dashboard Confessional - The Swiss Army Romance
Further Seems Forever - The Moon Is Down
You might want to check out the novel Bloom by Wil McCarthy. It uses Conway's Game of Life and other cellular automata to illustrate several plot points.
I’m all over the place. Willie Nelson, Rodrigo y Gabriella, OutKast, The Cure, Beck, Blackalicious, B-52s, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, James Brown, The Clash, Ray Charles, Jonny Cash, The Who, ELO, The Beatles, The Guess Who.
Basically I start with listening to different genres of music, and add them into a big playlist and keep looking for new music to add to the playlist. I love finding collaborations that bands have done and spinoff bands.
I’ve been an athlete since a child so in some weird way I guess I’ve been raised to just enjoy the discomfort of working out because I know the reward is tenfold of whatever discomfort I’m feeling while working out. So basically don’t raise sedentary kids, give them a love of working out so they can live a healthy and happy life.
I only used reddit as my big social media and then discord for messaging. Fediverse has become a good alternative to reddit, but discord will be hard to convince people to move over to alternatives like matrix or revolt.
Fundamentally, it allows us to logically infer the conservation laws from the laws of motion of a given physical system using relatively simple math. It always applies, no matter if we're talking about massive systems or quantum ones.
I think the concept is even more beautiful than you described:
A symmetry in a physical system implies a conservation law.
As a physicist, since the beginning of your studies you learn to appreciate and seek symmetries in various systems. At first, it’s mostly on an intuitive way to help you understand or simplify a problem. But at some point you learn about Noether’s theorem and see the even deeper meaning and power of symmetries.
For example, symmetry in movement in space (meaning I can move my entire system and it stays the same) implies conservation of momentum.
And symmetry in time translation (meaning if move the entire system a through a same interval in time and it still behaves the same way) implies conservation of energy.
I don’t really enjoy these activities on their own, but I do enjoy some activities that I can do in conjunction. Listening to music or podcasts can be done at the same time as almost any workout. If you are working out at home, you could even watch tv or something. I enjoy being able to play a game or browse the web on my phone if I’m using a stationary bike. Basically what makes it tolerable for me is what I can do at the same time.
