dudinax,

Imagine getting a highly evolved killer as a pet, perfectly tuned for a life of exploration, combat and death, and forcing them to live a long, soft boring life.

dudinax,

Why are Finns so worried about cats? There’s always plenty of cats.

dudinax,

That’s why concepts for longer weeks never worked out.

dudinax,

The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a nose gun is a good guy with a nose gun.

dudinax,

Bill Murray? Say it ain’t so.

dudinax,

Biden only won because he ran against Trump. Put Biden up against an even half-way reasonable Republican and he’s toast.

dudinax,

That’s not how it works. When you’re stuck in a Groundhog Day, you’re the only one that notices.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

dudinax,

No, the “Single Time Line” bit is a basic feature of T1, part of what makes it great, that T2 simply throws away.

dudinax,

From the scientific perspective, humans oscillate between haploid forms and diploid forms, all equally human.

dudinax,

What is nuclear brinksmanship?

dudinax, (edited )

Watch “the chef”. If you burn a quesadilla don’t serve it.

dudinax,

Napoleonic Wars

How many people in history have given their name to a whole series of wars?

dudinax,

California

dudinax,

The primary goal of MacOS is to prevent your eight-year-old from messing it up too much.

dudinax,

I was downgrading from Debian Sid to Bookworm. Boot failed. Ran the live cd in rescue mode. I’d uninstalled the kernel. Took only a couple of minutes to fix.

dudinax,

How many close calls with a shark have you had? Like one, maybe? You should be thanking this mama.

dudinax,

In a better world, content would cost the same to all streaming services, all content would be available everywhere, and competition between services would be based on price and quality of service. You’d subscribe to one and get everything.

dudinax,

Or in the worst case, all life on Earth won’t be ok.

dudinax,

If we manage to keep the warming to levels seen in previous warming periods, humanity might come out better on average in the long run, but the planet is heating faster than it did in those other periods and we haven’t demonstrated any ability to control ourselves. We’d have to stop generating CO2 pretty soon to avoid surpassing the last great warming period.

dudinax,

You’re making an assumption that the feedback loops are all well understood. They might be, or maybe there will be some runaway effect, some source of carbon or other greenhouse gas that’s completely unknown, gets released, and boils the oceans.

dudinax,

And was meant to be taken literally.

dudinax,

I think this is the one relationship where people do know some version of the history.

dudinax,

Here’s something even sadder. We only need history because human lives are so short.

dudinax,

Herodotus made an estimate of the rate of growth of the Nile delta, and used those estimates to challenge some conventional thinking about history and to make some predictions about the future. The ancients had a wealth of knowledge and competency. Probably much of it is lost.

dudinax,

“Do I really need to disembowel myself, too?”

“Yes, I’m afraid that’s the only way.”
