That is kind of funny, since there is genuinely a decent chance that someone who’s unwell is also obese or unfit or old…

Firefox has a built-in translation feature now, so you might not need TWP.

On a definitely related note, I’ve recently been thinking it’s wild how we build foot paths out of rocks and then put on rubber socks for actually walking on them.

In other words, asphalt is a scam by Big Foot to sell more shoes.

I imagine, they can still get inflamed gums or similar, if something gets stuck in there…

I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.

I feel like it’s just capitalism doing a capitalism. People are self-conscious about their skin, so you can sell them all kinds of crap.
Even a basic washcloth does a decent job with exfoliating, if you use it regularly. Rub your face dry with a scruffy towel, if you need more than that.

But of course, there’s hardly any money to be made with reasonably priced products, so you won’t see TV ads for them.

Should be noted that Ctrl+[Shift+]Tab behaves as you describe by default, but there’s a checkbox in the settings to make it go through tabs left-to-right, so it’s possible OP changed that behaviour…

At first I thought, this was the same beats, just with staggered emphasis, but no, that’s 30 eighths in the timespan of 14 eighths.

So, it’s like the bassoons are playing sixteenth notes, except that they’re decidedly not in sync with everyone else.
At first it’ll sound like they’re too early. Then their offbeat sixteenth will sync up with the on-beat for everyone else. Then their offbeat will sound like it’s too early compared to the on-beat, until they sync up properly again. Well, and then you do that cycle a second time, because they have to fit two extra notes in there.

Yeah, that does seem quite impossible to conduct, but even if you set up two metronomes, that’ll throw even good orchestras quite easily…

The last one seems to be mostly like Brainfuck, just with different capitalizations of “moo”: https://esolangs.org/wiki/COW

Personally, the stepping stone I needed to know about is Nix Home-Manager, which basically allows you to manage your dotfiles independent of the distro. From what I understand, if I do switch to NixOS, I’ll continue using this code with just some minor tweaks.

But yeah, I agree with the verdict in the post. I like it a lot, but I would not have made it past the initial learning curve, if I didn’t happen to be a software engineer. Sysadmins will probably be able to figure out how to put it to use, too. But it’s just not for non-technical Linux users.

Yeah, it’s great. Farmers need to use pesticides and monocultures to stay competitive, since other farmers are using them. Also, pesticides and monocultures kill the ecosystems that provide things like natural pest control, pollination and humus. So, you probably don’t get an increased yield from pesticides and monocultures when they’re employed in wide areas, while you do still get the destruction of ecosystems.

Those Spectacle changes look good. The old UI made some amount of sense, if the primary use-case was taking complete screenshots, but even for that, there’s probably a single shortcut to do that directly.
And I do find, I generally want a smaller cutout these days, because you can just fit more stuff onto modern displays, some of which is going to irrelevant.

I wanna be snarky about it, but really not great that these widespread outages keep happening.

The problem is that corporations are not holistic organizations. In theory¹, a company could not have any juniors and always just hire seniors from the outside. And if your boss has reason to believe that this is more cost-effective, then they have to strive for that, even if they’re well aware that it cannot work when all companies strive for that.

¹) In practice, I’ve actually found that juniors are important, too. If you staff a project team with only seniors, you quickly end up in a situation, where they don’t talk enough to each other. They know how to solve things technologically, so they don’t need to tell each other about their challenges and what solution they chose.
Similarly, you likely end up in a situation, where only big problems are being tackled, because everyone can tackle big problems and they’re just very visible, highly prioritized problems. But when you add up enough small problems, they become just as problematic.

Well, I happen to separately only eat foods that don’t cast a shadow do the vegan thing and my genes don’t like the taste of onion either, so uhh… 😅

But still good info. I haven’t yet tried cooking whole-grain buckwheat myself, so knowing a combination that works, I can figure out substitutes or other combinations which are likely to work.

I recently figured out that wheat/gluten FUBARs my health, so even just the concept of cereal grains has recently exploded in complexity in my head.

Before, I was eating:

• wheat (incl. durum, spelt, rye, and rarely barley, emmer)
• oats
• rice

Now I newly eat:

• buckwheat
• millet
• quinoa (in like three different colors)
• amaranth
• whole-grain rice is apparently pretty cool
• maize/corn (in the form of polenta and tortilla)

The term was coined by an OpenAI co-founder. No idea, if I would call the OpenAI folks “serious”, but it’s not just a derogatory term, like you might think.

Huh, framed like that, that seems like a wild statement considering he later went on to formulate his ontological “proof”, which attempts to prove God’s existence without relying on axioms (and in my not-so-humble opinion fails to do so, because it assumes “good” and “evil” to exist).

But what I’m reading about his incompleteness theorems, it does seem to be a rather specific maths thing, so would’ve been a big leap to then be discouraged in general from trying to do proofs without axioms.

I mean, chances are the nukes will be flying across time zones, so gonna be hard to honor that request for both sides…
