My dreams aren’t visually detailed, but i’m not sure that’s necessarily unique. I also have trouble with faces, but I can remember really long selections of words and numbers.
Oddly I can do a really good job drawing 2d and 3d things from reference art if they’re 1:1

Yeah i’m like 80% aphantasiac, I can picture maybe the last time I saw a cow I, could probably imagine something else in the static scene, I can’t even really make it turn it’s head.
There’s no rotating it.

I think it’s more likely that normal processors will start putting the ram stacks on die rather than memory manufacturers start making normal ram again lowering the prices.

And you’d think after making my 10,000th grilled cheese, i would remember that…

there’s a reason they have those settings on toasters. My one kid wants it white and slightly dry, the other kid wants it mahogany.
I want it as dark as I can get it with the middle still being soft.

ahh shit, you don’t even have to do that to me. I’ll notice that i could load the dishwasher instead of waiting for that other side to brown and absolutely forget to turn down the head

besides the expansion of spacetime which is the correct answer, there’s also nothing keeping two objects from traveling in opposite vectors each at 60% c. Frame of reference matters too

Where we get it, they’re probably not getting it, is microsteps of gratification for creating a thing, getting it to work, then slowly using a series of things to create a bigger machine that also works. As it gets harder, the accomplishment stacks, you feel good knowing wher every line went and being able to figure out a subtle failure half a level away.
It’s not for everyone.

It’s an interesting theory.
From what I understand, I worked in an adjacent field a decade ago, The de-anonymize is actually harder than it should be. a voip user gets service from a voip carrier who contracts service from a larger provider, who gets service from on the the biggest carriers. Noone in that chain wants to be responsible for the people below them. There is an unreasonable amount of trust on many carriers to let the clients choose their own ANI. The systems are not designed with accountability anymore. They’re all just a hodgepodge, and the smallest 2 levels of carriers get to charge a premium to let people stay untrackable (like cold calls)

While skin tones can vary, and in sun drenched parts of Africa, tones can get so dark brown that they look charcoal in appearance, It was just the book being written by a white man, for white kids, in an country where 99% were white that caused them to make the unwarranted comparison.

Double dogs exist. you serve them vertically in a sub roll. A place near my old house used to do double footlong on a sub roli, mustard, onion, chilli-cheese.

Need? Probably not unless they’re nearly full. Get some benefit from? at least a little. NTFS and 11 try to keep fragmentation at bay without killing your disk. New writes that won’t fit in a hole are pushed ahead of the platter until they will.
Go run optimize drives, it’ll tell you what the state is

Turns out, it’s relatively easy to convince the police to bring in a swat team to someone’s house, and the police are so chomping at the bit to get out the big boy toys that they don’t even question the validity of the call.
They might say it’s a hostage situation, or gunplay, whatever it takes to make action happen without any real question.
- Comment on Memories of defragging your computer 1 week ago:
If you’re running NVME or SSD, you don’t have to worry about fragmentation at all and neither will NTFS or Windows.
On rotational media, recent versions of windows do it when it needs it. NTFS itself has become better about not splitting up files when there’s contiguous space available.

- Comment on what’s your best “nitric acid acts upon trousers” moment? 1 week ago:
My grandparents developed health issues and needed some assistance. They lived 3 hours away.
We bought a large, ancient camper, we hauled it 3 hours up to a rural campground some 30 miles away from my grandparents house. and I spent 2 summers up there. My father would leave in the am, go to visit my grandparents then come back to the camper around dinner.
I could hike and bike, there were quarries and fossils. No amenities per se but power and water. Before internet, and cell phones. We had a black and white 7 inch TV that could pick up 1.5 channels (the one was clear)
After running out of places to hike/bike within reason, I decided to fish. I hate fishing but GOD I was bored.
Work on the hook, eww eww eww squirm squirm, piereced my thumb in the corner.
ow fuck
ok try to get it back through wiggle wiggle
pierce through my other thumb. push down on my pant leg to try to get the hook on through
barb stuck in my pant leg.
hobbled back to the camper, both thumbs stuck together, to my right leg, every walk sheer pain.
so much laughter at me
i finally just ripped the thumbs apart.
never fished again

side question
Have you had candied bacon?
I tried candied and chocolate covered candied, usually cooked to about 6.
I liked it, but after I ate it, I had no desire to have it again. It’s the strangest thing.

local brewery made tempeh bacon that was very, very close to what you’re looking for, try smoking some tempeh
