actually I grew up just 30 minutes north of DC, so many of these museums I've been to before---but they always have new exhibits (and for me seeing Mercury capsules and Space Shuttles never gets old)

I plan many of my trips on Atlas Obscura---I just go find weird things to see. for instance, somewhere in Ohio we stopped to fuel our car up at a gas station that had a sign indicating it once was the birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes, a relatively anonymous US president from the mid-19th century

so I only just realized the "rage against machine learning" thing, its from the "rage against the dying light" isn't it?

RATM is a band :)
<jonpsy[m]>
oh! then i guess that band is based on the poem
<jonpsy[m]>
or maybe not
<say4n[m]>
jonpsy[m]: ah that would be cool!
<jonpsy[m]>
you've heard of the poem? it's so profound
<jonpsy[m]>
"Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of light"
<say4n[m]>
yeah and also in interstellar :)

one thing i found interesting is, Dr. Brand takes the poem in nihilistic sense. As in "old men should pave the path for future generations".
<jonpsy[m]>
* future generations and accept death"
<jonpsy[m]>
whereas the poem actually conveys that, we shouldn't lose grip of life even at it's very end, "should burn and rave at old age".
