• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y2K (2024, dir. Kyle Mooney)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t remind me of fucking Y2K, please. The amount of code I checked for compatibility still gives me nightmares. Some nights I still wake up screaming from sheer boredom. Not really, but it wasn’t fun.

  Right on.

  His whole look is very not butch. That beard is very well groomed and his hair is immaculate. His skin also looks very cared for. I do believe his dear papa may have been a lumberjack.

  Nothing wrong with that of course, but I think he would be a lot happier if he just embraced it, poor thing.

  It is the only time when I can really pump up the jam and go nuts. You can’t do it at home because your neighbors will murder you if you are loud enough. It is also unfair to lay all the dB’s on the same people all the time. That said, I only use the kind of volume that makes it hard to see straight during the morning commute. It is annoying for the closest 400 cars, but not as annoying as if I fall asleep and plow right into you. Yes, I have already OD’d on coffee to the point of seeing god in the rear view mirror by that time, but I am still fully capable of falling spontaneously asleep, thank you very much. So think before you get too annoyed in the future. That obnoxiously loud asshole may just have saved your life by playing bagpipe music at a volume that makes the clouds shift above her car. You’re welcome.

  Yeah I know. It’s always money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan's push to make all research open access⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why that isn’t the default, I will never get. Sure it costs a bit of money to maintain, but at least all research that’s been funded by taxes should be public access. If you want to do your research in secret, seek funding elsewhere or pay for it yourself. Fair, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Placeboz⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Math checks out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Placeboz⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I haven’t read the study of course. Only read about it. Which makes the claim above even more dubious. But hey, this is the future, who has the time to fact check anymore?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Placeboz⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The funny thing is that the “extra strength” placebos likely have a better chance of working. The more elaborate and involved the placebo is, the greater the chance of it actually working even if you know it is a placebo. Our minds are weird. As always, I’m too lazy to look up the actual study so I don’t know if it was a quality study or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slightly less than two drinks = positive effect on programming ability. Who's joining?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve found that the best way to utilize alcohol when programming is to code sober and comment drunk. It’s a wonderful way to make commenting both fun to write and to read later.

  I have tried coding under the influence, but I can’t do it. Even small amounts of alcohol makes it really hard to do anything complex. But if it works for you, good on ya.
