Which would suggest that Trump’s actual mental decline is far worse than his public presentation implies.

Broke: Memory units in optimistic numbers of megabytes and gigabytes.
Woke: Memory units in astronomically-high numbers of gigabytes and terabytes.
Bespoke: Memory units in totally incomprehensible units like kiloquads or exanodes.

The real trial is being this guy when other people decide they’re going to start a fire and by the time you get there they’ve done it all wrong and the thing is smouldering and coughing up smoke and barely staying lit at all as they cram handfuls of pine needles and barely dry leaves into places while there’s a full-ass log precariously balanced on top of it all and they’re saying things like “Maybe we should pour a little lamp oil on top of it?”
And then you have to be the adult and take over the whole operation.

- Comment on A new PlayStation controller patent showcases a controller with no physical buttons 1 month ago:
I can conceive of a controller with a surface like those pin art toys
with a membrane stretched over it so that you could reprogram the location and shape of the buttons at will and still have a tactile experience…
…but it would be needlessly complicated, expensive, almost certainly less functional than actual buttons, and more prone to failure. So, not really a meaningful or desirable improvement.

- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 2 months ago:
By the general public and the world? Absolutely.
But you could make the argument that Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and Kennedy were each more specifically hated by one particular person at a time.
- Comment on What's the weirdest thing in english? 2 months ago:
Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac.

It allows one to play 45 rpm records, which have a big hole in the middle, on the turntable most people had at home which was designed for 33 ⅓ rpm records, which have a small hole. The shape forms a gentle spring to create tension inside the 45.

Isn’t this basically what Archive of Our Own was founded for? They may focus on fan fiction, but it seems like one could start a conversation with the Organization for Transformative Works to add another wing for this sort of content.

- Comment on Is there music I haven't heard because I only speak English? 2 months ago:
Contribution: Go check out other countries’ translations of Disney songs. Disney puts in a lot of work to make sure that their foreign language singers sound as much as possible like the original and that the translated lyrics have about the same rhythm as the original. It’s deeply uncanny sometimes, a bit like having a brain malfunction where the song sounds exactly the same but you can’t understand the words.
Corollary: Can anyone recommend some good German rap? I downloaded one German rap song back in my Napster days and I loved how it sounded, but then I realized that I didn’t speak a word of German and for all I knew they were rapping some truly heinous lyrics without my knowledge, so I took it out of rotation. I’d love to have some good German rap that I wouldn’t be horrified to learn is about right wing politics or something
