- Comment on A proposal to classify happiness as a psychiatric disorder 13 hours ago:
The abstract suggests that happiness is a statistical anomaly, and in its final lines they suggest that “One possible objection to this proposal remains–that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.”

Valid. I checked again, and:
Known risks to the protocol include:
- Carriers being attacked by birds of prey. RFC2549: “Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled.”
So I guess that’s what’s happening here

Another example of such an attack

Nerds making joke standards is nothing unique.

Pyrrhus is the namesake for the concept of Pyrrhic victory, i.e. where while you technically won, it was at such a cost that you couldn’t fathom trying it ever again. The linked article lists a number of historic examples.

I like Alot memes a lot. What a delight to bump into one just like that.
- Comment on It should be a strict rule 4 weeks ago:
I recall a story where there was a water restriction on a town for everyone, except for the golf courses. The next day, the golfers found that the Holes had been filled with cement, supposedly poured in there by activists.
- Comment on A succulent meal 5 weeks ago:
It looks basic but quite tasty if the prep and spicing has been done right.
Not every good meal has to be a Michelin Star affair, y’know. Sometimes, all you need is fries and two kroketten to be satisfied.

In other words? Is he all in? He’s a clanker at the very least!

The time between me playing EmptyEpsilon for the first time and having to surpress the urge to… Ehm… Refer my weapons officer to Starfleet Command for extra training was only about two or three hours. Like, brother, if you’re gonna fire a homing missile, you pick a target, then fire the missiles! Half of our load went deep into space to maybe ruin someone’s day two star systems over!

By dubbing econ “dismal science” adherents exaggerate;
The “dismal”'s fine - it’s “science” where they patently prevaricate. - Comment on Has happened to me a few times 2 months ago:
110 km/h in NL during the day? You’re speeding, but only a little
110 km/h in NL at night? Rookie numbers.

Negative two: don’t think
huh? Well...
This relies on the quote “I think, therefore I am,” but if I’d led with that, I’d be putting Descartes before the horse.

I heard a bunch of kids yelling 67 in a supermarket the other day. I felt my IQ drop by several points just witnessing that.
An occasional acknowledgement of 69 is still nice though.

- Anecdotal evidence is merely evidence of an anecdote.
- Just because those people are decent (or maybe seem decent when they’re around you) does not mean that assholes do not exist.
- The point still stands that MAMILs cycle in spite of infrastructure, not thanks to. This is not the case in the vid, but probably is the case for the above commenter.
Would you be comfortable sharing the lane with things that outweigh and outrun you by two orders of magnitude, where a forgettable bump for them would probably be your death, and where at best there’s a chance they might not notice or see you in a decent frame of time, at worst they’ll actively try to hurt you. I’d hate to cycle in such an environment.
Vehicular Cycling is the Dark Souls of cycling. Dutch cycling, or Practical Cycling as I’d prefer to call it, is more the Animal Crossing of cycling.
