Honestly I think we’re in the radium water phase of the tech: it’s been found to do things we couldn’t before, but nobody’s got a clear idea of what exactly what it can do, so you’ve got everyone throwing it into everything hoping for a big cash-out. Like, y’know, Radithor when people were just figuring out radioactivity was a thing.
Just based on that summary, I immediately thought of the book Termination Shock, which has a similar premise of an actor beginning to geoengineer with global reprecussions - though it’s heavier on the politics of the situation than any actionable info. If you haven’t read it, I’d recommend. I’m definitely going to pick up Ministry For The Future.
Divide the older person’s age by 2 and add 7. That’s the youngest person they can date without being creepy about it.
This rule is commonly cited, but is also completely meaningless, as a social construct.
Not very hopeful if you have diseases easily managed in a global society, like epilepsy, but for which you are effectively dead if global medicine production stops.
I’ll be real: that butter distribution is hitting all the right spots in my brain and I have been craving a butter-drenched waffle for a few hours now. Luckily, it’s after when I normally eat, and hopefully by tomorrow I will have forgotten.
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.

The stickers thing has always been an “ick” for me. My friends enjoyed torturing me with this reaction to stickered laptops until I sent them a video of a person giving a talk with a massive minion sticker plastered on top of all their other stickers, to which even they were grossed out.
That said, I did have a plan to have a battle jacket made with patches like what the stickers on the laptop would be were I to attend a conference. Damn, I just realized I have attended a conference and completely forgot to follow up on that. Regret.
Important: the potato and the tomato are from Peru. Are we talking modern cuisines, or pre-Columbian fusion?
I heard if you trade a pokemon early that can use surf and strength and then push the car off the island when you get to the S. S. Anne a Mew appears
Lmao I remember seeing this exact scene as a kid, thinking as he was talking “oh that sounds cool as fuck” and then only from how the scene played out realizing it was supposed to be a significantly boring concept
I scored 16/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
Damn, and here I thought I had this locked down because I was salty that so many places struggle with + in the email addy. But my god, there’s comments?
Honestly I wish rating systems just gave me a vertical line to place somewhere on a bell curve. Make it obvious I’m comparing against the average.
But as it is, because drivers etc. get punished for anything less than a 5, it’s 5 stars
Not as long as OP’s, but I’ve had alias cim=vim for a minute. Brain just don’t do it
Knowyourmeme has the rundown.
Bonus: the first one I saw over the years
I know it’s been rough for a buddy in a similar situation, but if you’re an ableton user, he’s found bitwig to be the closest thing to come to what he needs. But I believe he’s still had some driver trouble in places. I don’t do much myself as a full-time linux user, but what I ave done of late I’ve used in-the-box deals like an MPC Live for the heavy lifting, then recorded into Microsoft Paint for Audio Audacity on my actual machine from the box.
Christ you pulled that memory out of a basement I didn’t even realize I had
Pepperoni bread. The secret is I use cooper sharp cheese, as well as a mix of fun spices including some za’tar and Italian sausage seasoning in the oil it bakes in.
I dunno, I’ve definitely rolled into “factory factory” codebases that are abstraction astronauts just going to town over classes that only have one real implementation over a decade and seen how far the cargo culting can go.
It’s the old saying “give a developer a tool, they’ll find a way to use it.” Having a distataste for mindless dogmatic application of patterns is healthy for a dev in my mind.
