  Some of those times, he probably ingested enough ergot alkaloids to see God.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teachers never forget⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  There are entire memes, like chants/tapped rhythms/dirty jokes, which pass from generation to generation entirely in a school, passed down from year to year until eventually a child learns some singsong or piece of scatological nonsense their dad or mum knew but never mentioned outside of school.

  Someone should make hardware in that form factor that is essentially a Raspberry Pi-style machine one can run one’s own system on.

  I.e. all those people claiming “depression” and “anxiety disorder” and “ADHD” are just malingerers who need a kick up the arse.

  Nowadays, creating fonts is easier than ever, with widely available tools. Creating good fonts that don’t look like hot garbage and don’t make your eyes hurt after reading a paragraph is somewhat harder, though type designers graduate from courses every year. There are lots of small independent foundries selling fonts around the world, and consultancies that will design fonts on commission for brands. If Monotype are going to play the private-equity extortion game, they’ll soon find game companies commissioning fonts they then own outright from designers, or even hiring a few type designers with the usual intake of 3D graphics/texture/animation artists.

  Given that the word “punk” comes from hobo slang for stale bread, French punk rock should be called “crouton”

  Aren’t they more queer than autistic (though probably falling in the overlap)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FACTS⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s right bros. Also, every time you have sex with a woman, you absorb some of her oestrogen and become feminised. (She also absorbs some of your testosterone, which makes you extra gay for having sex with her.)

  The implication of this is that the hygienically challenged chunguses who have been chronically devoid of validating girlfriends are not the pathetic losers they were mocked for in school, but secretly true princes among men, the custodians of manly virtues. It’s a new heroic pseudohistorical mythology, like Jakob’s Grafted Devil for incels or something.

  I can never remember whether Ronnie Wood was one of the Rolling Stones or a member of the gang who did the Great Train Robbery.

  Government blogs and podcast-style data feeds

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British plugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps it could be revised by adding two unearthed Europlug round-pin sockets below the broad pins, though within a recess shaped like the thin European plugs to prevent the connection of earthed plugs, and declaring Europlug to be a British standard for unearthed mains, for use with devices not requiring earthing. Not sure if the geometry would work out, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British plugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It needs an unearthed version without the shutter-opening pin, for things like low-power electronic devices with figure-8 mains sockets, phone chargers and such.

  Of course, some BS1363-stan will inevitably show up to argue that as this is a crucial safety feature, unearthed connections should be illegal, much like the Australians who argue that bike helmets should be mandatory in Amsterdam.

  And Europe doesn’t have old houses with the same difficulty in wiring?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antisocial behaviour on public transit in Melbourne⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Get some decent self defence training and then go up to them and say “mate, nobody wants to hear your video. Put on some headphones or turn. it. off.” It probably won’t escalate to violence, though if they get aggressive, you want to be able to stare them down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Russian Roulette come to be? I find it hard to believe someone came up with it one day saying see how lucky I am today? I include suicidal people in this too.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the parallel timeline in which Dutton won the election, White Australia still has its name and bank accounts (“free speech”), while a dozen people allegedly connected with the designated terrorist movement Antifa have had their accounts frozen.

  Went to a petting zoo. It only had one animal, a dog. It was a shih tzu.

  Not more than renewables can provide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hydropower Is Getting Less Reliable as the World Needs More Energy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except that the world doesn’t need more energy. AI data centres need more energy. The world doesn’t need AI data centres either; investors need them to make money. Which is why AI is being shoehorned into everything. Nobody asked for Clippy to inaccurately summarise their emails or give answers to questions that have a plausible vibe, but it profits the powerful and well-connected for these things to exist, so we get them anyway.
