Can confirm audiobooks are insanely good. They also have immersive / multi cast versions for people that prefer that sort of thing that are supposed to be excellent as well.

How to fold the Confederate battle flag

Folding it first like this implies a level of reverence/respect to it that it doesn't deserve. For instance, folding the American flag into a triangle, stars out, then burning it, is how we were taught to respectfully dispose of a damaged flag in Boy Scouts.

I recommend wadding it up, covering it in some bodily fluids, and then burning it while playing Northern victory songs to really treat it properly.

that's goofy

They're already out here trying to lay that groundwork for the next election with the shaming. They know all they have to do is get some actual decent candidates but that's obviously a bridge too far and they'll put forth some ungodly combination of Newsome, Harris, and don't forget Klobuchar waiting in the wings.

Quantum Teleportation Achieved Over Internet For The First Time

Reply in thread

Correct, but still amazing because it means quantum internet is achievable over existing infrastructure. Not needing to lay down all new lines around the world for quantum transmissions will mean it gets adopted much faster. Even if specialized equipment is needed on either end of the cable, the hope/assumption would be that specialized equipment on either end will become cheaper as tech advances and scales upward - still a long ways off but cut down significantly.
