brought to boston as an eight-year-old slavery in 1761, phillis was bought by the wheatley family to serve in their house. the wheatleys saw how bright she was, and gave her an education. phillis became a writer; when she was 20, book of her poetry made her famous. the wheatleys gave her both her freedom and their name, and her achievement as the first slave to publish a book inspired free blacks for many years.

the first thanksgiving was a feast shared by the pilgrims in new england and the wampanoag indians native to the area. they enjoyed the harvest that the indians had taught the pilgrims to grow.

the founder and ceo of amazon. the first person ever worth $200 billion.

the story feels suffocating, and this suffocating quality could've been made a bit more epic. the film isn't actually bad, but at this point should nolan work with a different technical team (the camera work and editing especially)? an epic film's camera angles need to be epic too, fast cuts and the like belong in today's action films. 7/10.

it's unbelievable, a team that gets senselessly romanticized, oh, they're the game of football itself, oh, they're the salt-and-woman-scented streets of buenos aires... get outta here with that!

if a european team had pulled the dirty tricks these guys pulled, they'd have been banned from the next world cup. these guys protested by turning their backs to the stage during the trophy ceremony, come on, what did you even play, what did you even do, what right of yours got trampled on that you're protesting like this, are you saying we couldn't beat up the spaniards with our fists after the match so we're doing this instead!?

by the way messi, you should be ashamed of that pathetic move you pulled to get cucurella sent off, wanting to slander a guy young enough to be your kid just to get him ejected suits you just fine...

if spain hadn't won the world cup, he would've taken most of the blame. there was probably a lot of pressure on him.

he's still very young, though. hopefully we'll get to see him live up to his potential in future tournaments.

because of the scandal over the red card suspension being deferred, i am hoping belgium just refuses to take the field. there is no way a disgrace like this stands. let us see how the referee is going to give a card against the usa now.

what really runs a relationship is the fear in it. whoever is more afraid of losing something, the relationship takes shape around their fear. the one who's afraid of being alone constantly gives in. the one who's afraid of being abandoned constantly controls. the one who's afraid of being seen as inadequate constantly proves themselves. two people's fears determine the entire dynamic between them. that's why if you want to understand a relationship, rather than looking at who's dominant and who's timid, you have to look at who's afraid of what. because what runs a relationship isn't a person, but the thing that person runs from the most.

what sharply sets this guy apart from cristiano is this: for this guy, his teammates are ready to give their lives, they'd die for him. cristiano ronaldo? he's got quite a few people who hate him, bruno fernandes chief among them, if you ask me.

a scandal that took place on us soil and will go down as the biggest disgrace in us history.

for those surprised that it has the third largest water reserves in the world, i'd like to remind everyone that the amazon isn't just the name of a shopping website.

look how japan's explosive speed and disciplined play gets results against brazil's loose, languid, ambling style. i'd say the japanese are playing at 100% efficiency if not for the misplaced passes, but when two-thirds of the stadium is yellow and the opponent is a brazil carrying 5 stars on its chest, that much nervousness is bound to happen.

just because messi scored 5 goals in 2 matches, all the footballers started banging in two or three each and joining the race for the golden boot. the match where dembele scored 3 goals.

a 16-year-old kid built a prototype of starlink and made 300,000 dollars. what's more, the device can pick up satellite signals and works everywhere in the world. even if spacex tries to block this, the kid has already taken his precautions. what he did isn't as complicated as you'd think. he developed it almost entirely with claude's help.

first let's clarify this: he isn't stealing starlink's internet. what he's using is the radio beacon signals broadcast by spacex's satellites. he uses these signals like a free positioning system. this way he can determine location even in regions where gps doesn't work or is being jammed.

every starlink satellite continuously broadcasts a beacon signal. these signals can be picked up with a small dish antenna and a 35-dollar sdr receiver. triangulation is done using at least three satellites, and location can be calculated even without gps. this method is being tested by the us military too. the kid turned this into a portable device and sold it to hikers, sailors, and emergency teams.

the equipment he used:
rtl-sdr blog v4 usb receiver — 35 dollars
small dish antenna — about 50 dollars
ku-band lnb converter — 20 dollars
raspberry pi 5 (8 gb ram)
bias-t adapter
5000 mah usb power bank
total cost: 180 dollars.

he had claude write a python program that captures the starlink beacon signals and calculates location using tle data and doppler shift. when the program runs, the raspberry pi tracks the satellites and shows coordinates with roughly 10-30 meter accuracy. no gps. no phone signal. no internet.

afterward he made a case with 3d printing and sold the product under the name hikers & sailors gps backup.
unit cost: $180
sale price: $899
profit: $719
he sold 350 units.

among his customers are fire crews, pilots, skiers, and yacht owners. spacex can't file a lawsuit because picking up publicly broadcast beacon signals is considered legal.

it's definitely not telling their spouse, don't worry, not out of any dishonor. things turn around in such a way that (depending on the gender of the one telling) if you're a woman your name turns into the whore trying to break them up, and if you are a man into the dishonorable bastard who "slandered an honorable woman's honor." with some of the people being cheated on there's a peculiar kind of foolishness, not stupidity, they believe so much that their partner wouldn't do it that without seeing it firsthand or having concrete evidence, they won't let a speck of dust settle on them.
