A lot of it is pacing - once you get left behind it’s hard to catch up.
Also, no-one shows them anything sexy like triangles on a sphere, horocycles, or matrices encoding multiple transformations.

Guess I’m saving up for a good fillet steak to try this out with.
Maybe mix the honey with water and glaze at the end of cooking - berry wise definitely a compote with black pepper?

Ye gods, I can smell the armour polish AND the cheeto dust in this thread.
The translation holding up is hilarious, it really does and you can hear the emotional damage that causes out there; I do wonder if it struck a genuine nerve.
The amount of “protect the children” out there is also priceless - this is one of the best outrage manufactories I’ve seen in years; I look forward to that outrage fuelling more surveillance laws.

Still waiting on the source of your 50%.

Hang on - so you’re saying that when a billionaire sells something it ceases to exist? Surly not!
You might be suggesting that a billionaire creates jobs that vanish when they leave, however that’s not likely to be the case. Got any data to back that figure up?
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 1 month ago:
Hang on…
So most assets are shares and structures. Shares you can sell, but someone still holds them, structures can be sold, but someone still owns them.
If a billionaire left, a fortune in capital gains would be made, the wealth would remain to be taxed from other hands, and that precludes the destination not having a higher wealth tax.

Ooh, this is actually a more controversial take among academics than you can imagine!
Around week 3 of my course I ask the question “what percentage cut do academics get for published articles”. They are always appalled to learn it is 0% (we get nothing, we are literally paid in exposure).
Below are some other issues with the journal industry as a whole:

Not everyone has a choice sadly - work tends to be in the cities, and prices for a family home in a city are beyond most couples.
So, you’re forced to commute by car.

- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 1 month ago:
There are a lot of comments here saying “it’s tragic because no-one cared”, but that is misleading as there is now a strong privacy movement l.
I think, without Snowden blowing the whistle, anti-privacy laws would not face such stiff competition.
Yes we’re all fighting a rearguard retreat, but without Snowden’s sacrifice there would be no rearguard and there would be abject surrender rather than retreat.

- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 2 months ago:
So, I’ve been exploring these comments for the past 30 mins. They honestly make me wonder; are we seeing an echo chamber effect by instance?
Does Lemmy have any tools to count upvote/downvote by user instances, especially by comment layer. I think I want to dive into this rabbit hole.
- Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 3 months ago:
I mean, I had plans (wanted to invest in a 4tb SSD to run Linux on, push up to a later i7 supported by my board, and upgrade from ddr4 to ddr5), but I no longer have plans due to the madness unleashed by the rampocalypse.
So instead I purchased a pico-calc and am looking at a luckfox-lyra upgrade so I can just enjoy old school games.
