- Comment on Anon is worried about men 2 hours ago:
Let me offer a scenario; two drunk people who wouldn’t normally go near each other spend a night together. The morning comes, regret is in the air for both parties, which of these two people is most at risk?
The correct answer is: “the one who doesn’t accuse the other on social media”.
Just remember, no-one gave any indication of gender there. It’s not really about gender at this point - it’s the fact we’ve constructed a world where a casual encounter has the potential to become the prisoner’s dilemma if it is regretted afterwards.
That’s not a world where people take risks on a date, especially if physical intimacy is on the cards. To much risk!

*pay increase above actual inflation/bill increases.
My pay has gone up every year, but each year I end up poorer as my bills eat the extra, plus some more!
- Comment on Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽ 3 weeks ago:
Ah the eternal war of the dawnies and the duskies…
I think a lot of the issue is that it’s possible to shift to a 24 hour economy with morning and night shifts, but (like remote working pre-covid) we hear a lot of “it’s not possible”.

It’s the “come to me through fire and war” that worries me more.

Trump dressed as Dagoth Ur saying “come Muskar” popped into my mind prompting me to throw up in my mouth a little.

There’s a really good video on this - www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSSkDos2hzo
Adding a little exercise to your life is rarely a bad thing, but to shift fat diet change is the big one.
Here’s one that will have a steady impact - drink an extra glass of water with each meal (helps you feel full for longer), and invest in an apple corer (for easy apple snacks) - aim for an apple a day. It’s helping me slowly lose body fat by reducing caloric intake.

3 teas no lunch is even better - especially if you brew your tea to the consistency of tar…
- Comment on Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot? 1 month ago:
For every mod you add, complexity usually increases exponentially.
Depending on the game, difficulty also varies: modding stardew valley is joy (117 mods in a pack, easy afternoon sipping tea), modding skyrim less so (oh god,these two amazing mods tweak the same tree, time to go patch hunting, 2 weeks later you play it only to spot obscure graphical glitches, all hail wabbajack automation!), trying to make a working multiplayer mod pack for rimworld is pure suffering (why do you hate me, why do two compatible mods generate mass instability?!? 4 months of bug hunting and unsalvageable runs due to strange mod interactions, gave up for now).
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 1 month ago:
I mean, if I were to throw out lines such as “if only women didn’t demand so much”, I’d be guilty of misogyny regardless of who I implied the demand was levied against.
The misandry here is “men love to commit murder”, not the implication of who is murdered.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 1 month ago:
Misandry is where you see men as the problem - nothing more or less. It’s easy to quote stats, it’s much harder to address the real issues underneath.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 1 month ago:
Ah, misandry, my old friend.

Repaste is part of it, but I noticed one of the fans isn’t spinning up as well.

My 1080Ti finally died this year (started overheating). I’ve kept it though, in the hope I can fix it one day…
Every other part is just cobbled together from older rigs or sporadic upgrade pushes when a sale looks good.

“Points at the smaller thing”
Every time I watch a student stall out on inequalities I ask “it’s the crocodile isn’t it?”. Without fail, they’ve got confused by it and as soon as they hear “points at the smaller thing” they have no issues.

Sounds like the Peter principle at work, ensuring that Parkinson’s law will be exemplified.
If your employees are living their lives to the clock, they’re counting down the seconds rather than ticking off their tasks.

Fun insider fact - the gambling industry learned things from that game.

Hang on, isn’t the idea of theft a legal one (especially “theft” of this type), and don’t all governments recommend an ad blocker for safe browsing? So now, do you break governmental decree or corporate decree?
Wait a moment, UK digital misuse act: “Unauthorised Acts with intent to impair, or with recklessness as to impairing the operation of a computer”, notice that “recklessness” clause? Would serving ads that encourage PuP or straight up malware downloads be reckless? Damn right it would. Does blocking adblock fall under this - oh my yes (“don’t follow established safety regulations” is grounds for recklessness).
Sorry to say this, but the “it’s theft to skip ads” argument makes about as much sense as Epstein killing himself (he didn’t).

We also need irrational fucks for the complex field don’t we?
- Comment on This feels wrong. I love it. 4 months ago:
Almost:
Lengths are usually reals, and in this case the diagram we can use assume that A is the origin wlog (badly drawn vectors without a direction)
Next we convert the vectors into lengths using the abs function (root of conjugate multiplication). This gives us lengths of 1 for both.
Finally, we can just use a Euclidean metric to get out other length √2.
Squaring isn’t multiplication by complex conjugate, that’s just mapping a vector to a scalar (the complex | x | function).

I dunno about science, but truth is proof. That just infers that science is various forms of proof, and I’m ok with that as it lets our notion of proof evolve as we do ^_^

I dunno, twitter was more a stardew valley running the Joja route; but then it turned into X which was more of a Concord - so much money pumped in and so little quality.
