George Washington Carver had a difficult start in life. His father died shortly before his birth And weeks later, slave traders kidnapped him and his mother. The group sent out to find him and his mother exchanged a horse for the young boy. His mother, however, was lost to the traders.
Often sick, frail, he was not expected to live. But live he did, and from a young age, he showed much devotion to work and a desire for learning. He was curious, and as he'd roam the woods near the Carver home, exploring flowers, trees, rocks, and birds, he began asking questions about their purpose.
While much of his education early on was self-motivated, he began formal schooling at ten. He learned of a school about eight miles from the Carver home. And without any money or a new home, he left the Carver's to attend this school, living in an old barn while doing odd jobs to earn money to survive. Eventually, he was adopted into a family there.
Education for George would continue through completing a Master's Degree in agriculture from Iowa State University in 1896. After which, he took a job as Head of the Agricultural Department at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.
George was also an artist. At the age of 30, Carver gained acceptance to Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, where he was the first Black student. Carver studied piano and art.
As an agricultural scientist and inventor, his goal was to help farmers improve their lives by earning more from their crops. He found hundreds of uses through his research of peanuts in particular and other products such as sweet potatoes and pecans. His work was instrumental and impactful. Between 1915 and 1918, acreage for peanut cultivation grew from half a million to over four million acres.
After George passed away in 1943, Franklin D. Roosevelt sent a message that said: "All mankind are the beneficiaries of his discoveries in the field of agricultural chemistry. The things which he achieved in the face of early handicaps will for all time afford an inspiring example to youth everywhere."

Here's a reminder that Y2K was real. It wasn't a conspiracy theory. Computers were going to crash when we hit the new millennium.
The reason you don't remember it (and the world didn't crash) was millions of coders working around the clock to fix it. It was a huge project across multiple countries.
In the countries that did not spend resources on their codes, they did lose their stock markets temporarily. (I know Germany was one. I think Singapore was another.)
This wasn't a made up problem. It was a problem that we solved with a lot of work. Please don't dismiss it as nothing or a fever dream.
I was one of the ones going through all those lines of code and fixing things.
Technology then and now
at first i thought it was the same number then I noticed it said GB and damn
As one of the tech review magazines said a few years ago when the first 32 GB micro SD cards came out, “At last it is possible for a single human being to accidentally swallow all of the data collected by the Apollo Program.”

now that is a review
SHADOW HAS BEEN LOOKING OUT FOR SONIC SO MUCH THIS EPISODE, LIKE,
HE DOESN'T MAKE SONIC FEEL BAD FOR TRUSTING NINE, HE QUESTIONS IT THROUGHOUT THE EP BUT HE NEVER HESITATES TO KEEP SONIC AWAY FROM DANGER OR GET PETTY ABOUT BEING RIGHT, LIKE HE DRAGGED SONIC FROM THE COLLAPSING CAVE BECAUSE SONIC WAS OUT OF IT FROM THE BETRAYAL,
HE REPEATS WHAT HE TOLD SONIC WHEN THEY FIRST WENT TO GHOST HILL, BUT DOESN'T PRESS ON IT, JUST REMINDS SONIC WHAT THEY ALREADY DISCUSSED BEFORE BECAUSE THE WORLD IS LITERALLY DECAYING,
HE TRIES TO REACH OUT TO SONIC (MAYBE GIVE A COMFORTING HAND ON THE SHOULDER) AND LET SONIC TAKE A BIT OF HIS TIME TO ACCEPT THINGS,
HE SNAPS SONIC BACK TO REALITY IN THE MOST GENTLE WAY SHADOW CAN,
AND HE TELLS SONIC THAT THERE'S STILL HOPE BY SAYING THIS, THIS IS ALSO HIS WAY OF SAYING "WE HAVE TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE IF WE WANT TO SAVE THEM",
HE CONTINUES TO WATCH SONIC'S SURROUNDINGS AND THROWS HIM OUT OF HARM'S WAY, LIKE HERE WHERE SHADOW THREW SONIC AWAY FROM THE PRISM DECAY,
AND HE ALSO CONTINUES TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE GOAL AT HAND AND SNAPS SONIC BACK TO REALITY MULTIPLE TIMES,
HE THINKS ABOUT WHAT NINE SAID WHILE BEING UNBIASED ABOUT HIM, UNLIKE SONIC WHO STILL HAS AN IMPRESSION THAT NINE IS TAILS DEEP DOWN, BECAUSE OF WHICH HE IMMEDIATELY REALIZES WHAT NINE MEANT BY THAT,
THE REALIZATION ON HIS FACE REPLACED BY ANGER AND HOSTILITY TOWARDS NINE WAS IMMEDIATE, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT NINE WAS PLANNING AND WARNED SONIC AND KEPT NINE AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM HIM,
HE SEES SONIC TIRE OUT AND STRUGGLE DURING THE FIGHT AGAINST THE CHAOS BOTS AND DECIDES THAT IT'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR SONIC TO BE HERE IN THAT STATE,
HE TELLS SONIC WHAT HE'S DOING(in the most vague but fast way, like I don't blame him, this was time-sensitive), AND HE LITERALLY CREATES A TORNADO WITH HIS SPEED AND SENDS SONIC FLYING INTO THE PORTAL FRACTURE TO GET HIM OUT OF THERE (plus I just wanted to add that the tornados from season 1 were like so out of nowhere for me but now seeing this feels like foreshadowing because sonic tried to tornado shadow during a fight they had and shadow destroyed his tornado from within, but now it's sonic in the tornado and shadow is saving him, I am crying so bad),
SHADOW GETS GANGED UP ON DURING A FIGHT AND HE WAS TIRED FROM THE TORNADO AND THE ATTACKS FROM ALL SIDES AND BY SENDING SONIC AWAY FROM THE GRIM HE ESSENTIALLY BY DEFINITION SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO SAVE SONIC AND GOT THROWN INTO A FUCKING RAVINE, I REPEAT, HE FUCKING GOT ANOTHER CONCUSSION AND FELL DOWN A RAVINE AND IS UNCONSCIOUS, MY BOY IS IN A FUCKING CANYON AND THERE'S NO ONE THERE TO HELP HIM, SONIC PLS PLS PLS SAVE HIM SOON I BET NINE WILL TAKE SHADOW HOSTAGE OR SMTH OR MAYBE HE'LL SEAL SHADOW IN THE RAVINE (flashbacks to every time shadow was sealed in a capsule) OR HE'LL ASSUME SHADOW DIED, ANYWAY I AM CRYING LIKE ACTUALLY
