  Survivorship bias?

  I don’t know, if I were surprised by a panther I think I would also be shocked and say holy shit, haha. How should I react to not get hirt?

  The answer to why is billions of dollars of subsidies to the animal meat industry.

  Just a heads up, the ?si=… part of the youtube url is a tracker linked to you and your youtube history. Youtube will recommend people who click your link other things you watch. The ? and everything afterward can be safely removed and the link will still work.

  Luo Ji isn’t even introduced until book 2. Season 1 is only book 1. I hate D&D for what they did go GOT as much as anyone else, but find something real to critique.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The later books are really something⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As with most sci-fi the author gets loopier in the later books. That being said:

  • Dune: masterpiece of philosophy, one of the best books ever put to print
  • Dune Messiah: a worthy sequel and must read after the first book; completes Paul’s arc
  • Children of Dune: more plot driven than the first, but still thematically rich and entertaining.
  • God Emperor of Dune: the most divisive of the books: you love it or you hate it. I am in the love it camp, the book is unhinged and the themes are marvelous. This is where I’d stop a read of the series.
  • Chapterhouse and the other (Heretics?): forgettable in my opinion, simply because I’ve forgotten them. Later book fan opinions welcome.
  • anything Brian Herbert: not terrible but not awfully good either. Makes for decent light reading I guess, and there’s good lore building in some of the books despite some unforgivable retcons (Agemmemnon, sigh)

  I’ve never met an engineer who wanted to intentionally design products to break.

  The beancounters on the other hand…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But have you tried Jerboa?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, tried and tested on the most recent alpha. I can confirm it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But have you tried Jerboa?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jerboa had both in its latest alpha release on github, you should check it out.

  What exactly did you not like? Using it now and it’s come a huge way in just a few weeks. Of all the apps I’ve tried it had the most compact and quick interface.

  I feel people had a lot of loading issues when instances were going down left and right which gave Jerboa an unfair reputation through no fault of its own.
