Glad you were there to help at least. I imagine being robbed and murdered and dying in the rain would rank towards the high end of the “worst Christmases ever”. If nothing else today will be one of your more memorable ones.

Feeling of power, control, like any rapist.

That sounds pretty great. I get sick of having to switch gears for every layer. As a hobbyist it is tough to remember five or six languages well enough when only coding something a few times a year.

Since I do embedded, scripting, web front and back end this is sure tempting.

I have been hesitant to try to learn yet another language (this would make…ummm… idk I lost count ages ago). But with all the hype I may break down and give it a whirl.

To save a click

Orphan-Crushing Machine is a metaphor for “heartwarming” news stories about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue. The catchphrase and metaphor satirize these stories by comparing them to a story of a person raising money to keep 200 orphans from being crushed where nobody questions why an orphan-crushing machine exists in the first place.

Omg Lisp. I’m dying. Our object oriented programming class in college involved programming in Scheme. This was… a while ago.

Saving this forever.

Someone on another thread shared this blunt exposition of Kissinger’s many sins against the country and the world.

I also want to abolish the 2 party system. It’s the only way we will ever see true progress or stand a chance of reducing the influence of the rich.

Duverger’s Law says that voting systems with a single winner will result in two main parties emerging with votes merely drawn away by other parties.

In other words, voting 3rd party in our current system won’t make a 3rd party viable. At best it will replace one of the parties.

Instead, if you want a multi party system, the most effective way to achieve that is for you to work on getting ranked choice voting in your state.

Videos of unrelated things constantly popping up when someone is talking in the game. Your inventory blurs out half the items because your character forgot they had them. All text is intermixed with other text representing random thoughts. Quests disappear or reprioritize randomly. The character refuses to move due to lack of motivation.

According to wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland

Wayland is a display server protocol. It is aimed to become the successor of the X Window System. You can find a comparison between Wayland and Xorg on Wikipedia.

Nope. Not at all. I can’t wait for more.

Discovery … I still can’t believe what they did to the Klingons and I have other issues but… goddamnit that show won me over in spite of itself. Will start season 3 in a while. And I liked the first two seasons of Picard I don’t care what anyone says.

I might be alone in saying all that, idk lol

Since none chimed in (in the past 6 minutes) , I, an idiot, will share what I think I know. When reconstructing the faces of people from a skull, either with clay or software, they model the various tissues–muscles, fat, skin, etc according to models based on samples. How they would do this for a creature that isn’t very like any current living creature I don’t know. It is probably educated guesswork?

I just read an article on this process for a neanderthal and in that particular instance they used data from humans since I guess it was close enough.

But, for example (referencing a recent meme) how do they know spinosaur had a sail and not a hump back and neck muscles like a buffalo?? Seriously though I’m sure they can tell which bones have attachment points, how much force they can withstand, etc.

Man, some people aged quickly back then.

Saw the same thing watching a show from the early 70s. Most of the actors that were in their 50s looked absolutely wrecked. Like 50 going on 90.

Makes me feel better about myself, though lol.

Guessing it was a combination of smoking, lead exposure, air pollution, and not much sunscreen.

Hasn’t evolutionary psychology been heavily debunked at this point?

It’s not without a good heap of criticism, that’s for damn sure.

…wikipedia.org/…/Criticism_of_evolutionary_psycho…

I tend to think the social angle is more credible Because the behavior of being a dick to female-sounding voices in games is not a universal behavior. Those who aren’t misogynists don’t act that way. How strange.

And all these thoughts happen within the same 10 seconds along with a bunch of other things. Instead of the things I should be thinking about.

Me: do the thing

🧠: “uh, no. Now sounds horrible and way too hard and it’ll take eleventy billion hours”

Later

🧠: “OMG Emergency!! I’m late!! … Completes task … Wow that was kind of quick and easy. Why didn’t we do this sooner???”

Me: (ಠ_ಠ)
