How can Feynman tweet if he's been dead for 32 years ?

Scheduled tweets.

Interesting! At least in recent history do you have any idea as to your grandparents migration patterns? For example I know my great grandparents were immigrants to Canada from Russia and Ukraine. They settled as farmers in Saskatchewan.

any history like that you’re aware of that would support the DNA test? That’s really cool. I’ve wanted to take one of those tests for awhile but don’t like the idea of submitting my DNA to a private company. Lol

The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!

I'm really not sure. My great grandmother was half Cherokee, or that's what I was told. I think it might be a mistake, to be honest. My great aunt and uncle also took it but that part didn't show up for them

And yeah, I don't want to take one of those. They end up owning your DNA or something? I read somewhere you have to sign some waivers for odd reasons.

I’ve read the same - they can sell your DNA information to third parties. I’m not about to be a criminal but that sounds like the worst possible privacy infringement.... actually having companies own your DNA? yikes.

Doesn't it sound like the premise for a Gibson novel? Some dystopian cyberpunk shit. No thank you.

I'm trying to read what I thought was the beginner's lite (read: "approachable") version of the arguments in A Critique of Pure Reason (Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics) and I'm feelin' real stupid.

Every American family claims to have Native American ancestry.  It's almost never true.

I didn't understand Pure Reason until I took psilocybin.  It's all about metacognition.

Pretty sure it's true in my case. She died when I was 16 and she was brown as fuck. The thing with the DNA test is that I'm not sure what timeline they're using.

My dad had a test done too, and apparently there's Blackfoot on his side.

Someone raped a native in your past. Doesn't seem that crazy.

Not just one, but many... You're probably all cousins...

Pretty sure Kant wrote that thing with the express intent of making other people feel stupid.  To that end it has been one of philosophy's greatest success stories.

No, you're thinking of Hegel

Well... yeah. I got that much.

I have this thing where when I’m to solve a problem or trying to work something out I’ll keep trying a method I know is not gonna work even when I already know what it is that I should be trying instead. Wonder if there is some sort of name for that besides stupidity.

Stubbornness?

Yeah, that popped into my head right after hitting "submit reply". Actually, it was "foolhardiness" but that's more or less the same thing I guess.

Definitely a possibility.

Trader Joe’s is getting a little too quirky these days imo 

can anyone do me a small favour and recommend a piece of free software that can just add audio files to video files? I have aftereffects but i cannot for the fucking life of me figure out why it is exporting videos off my phone that are 1.2 gigabytes as 25 gigabyte AVI's when all ive done is added a direct recording of the piano and change the brightness.
