  That’s about 5-9 mm too much.

  You must gather your congregation before venturing forth!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo sues streamer for playing pre-release, emulated Switch games⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s colossally stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This was 16-year-old me with The 13th Warrior. Thought it was pretty good. I have never watched it again, so I wonder if today’s me would say the same.

  This guy peer-reviews.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks like a toy 'yota.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t pull it back too far, though, or else it’ll flip on its back and go nowhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah yes, regression⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re having proportion of explained variance problems I feel bad for you son
  I got ninety nine problems but a fit ain’t one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s still a difference between describing a concept in a way laypeople would understand and describing it using plain English. The latter is what I consider good scientific writing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it really science, if it doesn’t sound like something Neil deGrasse Tyson would say to himself for 30 minutes straight in front of his bathroom mirror?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horrors We've Unleashed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re asking for a kind of nuance that most Info Warriors are unable to provide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horrors We've Unleashed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Up next on Info Wars: “They’re turning the mosquitoes gay!”

  They should just run with it and branch out into other types of bewildered animal pastries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks interesting, but the music should hit WAY harder, IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pay us, or let us sell your info to 1200 partners⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very happy to see that, thanks for the pointer!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pay us, or let us sell your info to 1200 partners⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To my knowledge, the problem is the same in the EU, but there are legal initiatives by some NGOs (NOYB) that argue that having only these two options (pay for subscription or consent to personal information being sold) should be illegal, and that newspapers should be required to offer a third option (pay only the amount your information would be sold for, which is only a few cents, without the subscription).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, my weirdo Stanley Parable inspired game finally made it to Most Wishlisted Steam Games. And I'm pretty sure a lot of you are to blame...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Congrats, just added another wishlisting! Maybe this was answered somewhere else already, but do you have any details yet on how well it will be playable on Steam Deck?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meow_irl⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My cat is not like that at all. He’s in the same room as me most of the time. He sleeps on my bed the whole night. Every day, when I come home, he waits at the door and immediately starts headbutting my leg once I sneak one through the door frame. I can’t even take a dump without him meowing behind the door, asking to be let in, so we can hang out.

  He’s also a huge jerk, of course, but a wonderful chap overall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A match made in heaven! 😍⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never had Mountain Dew, but I always imagined it would taste like shower gel or shampoo. The scents/flavors even have similar names.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This might also apply to conferences.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yellow = weak bladder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon scentmaxxes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Coincidentally, this is also what the French smelled like centuries ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨elucidating 🤌🏼⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing the Lord’s work. The longer I work in academia, the more radical I become about keeping it simple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whoever wrote this headline has never encountered a passenger train before in their lives⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on this dumpster fire of a headline, I think the take-away can only be that Siemens and other train manufacturers have to start calling their trains “OMEGA RAIL” and “CHUNGUS 3000” or shit like that so it’s worth a news article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go get em⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “The main goal of this thesis was to not be derivative garbage like the works of Big Name et al.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like reddit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look, I also left Reddit because it got worse, but this just reads like “I said something racist and people got mad” to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The more you know⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Come to think of it, one thing I truly despise about the current state of AI is its verbosity. You ask the stupidest question, and the response is always some multipage essay (or longer if you ask nicely) that looks all important but is composed of 90% filler and bullshit, until it ends with “In conclusion, …” followed by the actual answer. Enough intelligence to string sentences together ad infinitum but not enough to provide actual answers that fit the question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate people like this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  English isn’t my first language. What does “tossing one’s hair” mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Publishing Revenue⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the warning. I almost received free and convenient access to a large caralog of academic articles, and no one wants that.
