- Comment on on the upside though I handed it to my supervisor mid- morning report when they couldn't ask questions and their face was absolutely priceless 1 hour ago:
Shit’s crazy these days. My favorite “they can do that now?!” is from a 2014 article where MIT researchers recorded a bag of potato chips in a soundproof room and used the vibrations from the bag to recreate the sound.

You know how lemmy or xyz social media is people posting their thoughts directly so you kinda get a look into their brains? And maybe there’s a pic or vid or some other link to accompany it to support the topic of their post. Imagine that but it’s entire websites basically built from the ground up with what one lone person believed was aesthetically appropriate to communicate their ideas or passions.
And nothing was centralized so there might’ve been a hundred time cube variations but no one ever found them because they weren’t linked on anyone’s webrings. It was all beautiful terrible madness.

Singapore doesn’t do PR? Japan doesn’t allow dual citizenship either but basically the only thing you gain over PR is voting rights. If you make good money (over $100000) you have to pay some taxes back to the US but otherwise you only have to pay one country.

Or if OP is concerned about being too frivolous with money and is under 40 (more ideally under 30) with a college degree, it’s really damn easy to get a job teaching English in Japan. These days most of those positions pay peanuts but it’s enough to live on and you generally have enough free time to go around and see some things in a new place.

Wasn’t this the highest rated nu trek? Smart move by paramount to kill something so popular.
We demand 7 seasons!

Figured I’d err on the side of caution. If you work with art it’s probably fine. Otherwise if someone sees random sideboob (art or not) walking by your computer at the office, they might complain about it.
Like a bikini isn’t illegal or amoral in the states either, but if you put up a bikini poster in your cube I bet someone would have something to say.

A large part of it is our broken medical system. If you slip on something at a store and break a bone, you could be out 10s of thousands if uninsured. The only way you don’t lose everything you own is to sue the store where you slipped.
- Comment on Warp Five: The Lower Decks Cast on the Cerritos' Future 1 week ago:
“I am personally so excited to talk to you about the finale of Lower Decks because my wife [Rebecca Romijn] is Number One in Strange New Worlds,” says O’Connell. “I now outrank my wife in Starfleet. I’m a captain. I want to say to my wife, because when the finale comes out of Lower Decks, I’m going to sit down, I’m going to watch it with her.”
I wonder when these interviews were done-- the article date says Feb 8 but the finale was in mid-december.
Wish we got the classic 7 seasons, even if they’re shorter than old TV seasons used to be. Feels like they rushed a couple things in the final season that could’ve been explored more.
- Comment on Topology of Wikipedia (YT) 1 week ago:
Interesting to see the way wikipedia generally links to things having an effect on the link popularity. It seems like large general categories should have more links, like “sports” or “art”. But if you go to the soccer page, it has a link to “team sports” but not “sports”.

I liked that movie and her in it but it needed to be like an hour shorter… 3 hours felt overly indulgent.

I’m just astounded that you write your d’s as ol… first time I’ve ever seen someone write the two parts completely separate.

Apparently unrelated to her divorce-- from an interview with GQ:
In this moment, I say, it is impossible not to think of a particular Nicole Kidman meme (of which there are many): she’s probably in her early 30s, and she’s standing on the pavement in a pink top, basking in the sunlight, her eyes closed, her arms out, her mouth open as if she’s letting out a deep sigh of relief. Does she know the one I’m talking about?
“Yes,” she says. “That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!”
The story that goes with this meme whenever it circulates is that Kidman had just left her lawyer’s office after the dissolution of her first marriage. “That’s not true,” she laughs.

They exist. They’re basically just plastic pouches, although they have small metal ones as well

Last time I went looking for info on this I could only find relatively small scale studies, and from a quick search now it looks like nothing’s changed. Seems like something we should have a lot of knowledge about in 2025.
There’s a 2010 and 2016 study finding sperm in precum in the volunteers of 11/27 (41%) and 7/42 (16.7%) respectively. They had otherwise normal counts (except for one in the latter study).

I’m interested to see how Germany deals with the afd-- if a country that put in specific laws to not repeat the holocaust can’t stop fascism rising again, I’m not sure what hope there is for the US.

I know there are plenty of STEM people who get along with the humanities-- just online you run into a lot of the “bro” types specifically who don’t get it.
- Comment on It's a good group! 4 weeks ago:
Maybe if they paid more attention in English (and history) class, they wouldn’t miss subtext the size of a tractor trailer running into them. But conservatives and STEM bros almost always seem to be on the same page with that shit “No one needs English classes, it’s always just like ‘hur the curtains are blue’ bro.”
- Comment on The US is actually going to implement a nationwide abortion ban and the measures for how it's gonna be handled are already in the works 4 weeks ago:
I thought that if something is federally illegal you can still be arrested for it by the federal government. Like a DEA agent could arrest people in CO for having weed-- it just means that state law enforcement won’t arrest you.
So theoretically they could outlaw abortion and create a federal bureau of agents to enforce it.
yeah get you some of that beard girl
