  • Pulled Winnie the Pooh.

    It's honey marinated and fat.

  • That would've been great advertising.

    But then again, it could feature Trumps dick pics and the name of the real Luigi, and I'd still not bother watching it, because Melanie is soo despicable boring.

  • The thing is that native American didn't get the name from Greek, yet, it is still reference to a bear.

    Jump

  • Some constellations, including the Great Bear, were named long before our languages even existed.

    Etymology wise we might say it comes from ancient Greek, but it's also called Great Bear in languages that have no origin in Greek.

    Wikipedia - Cosmic Hunt

    I'm going out on a limb here, but I believe the Great Bear is actually named after a great bear.

    Not all cultures though. In Brazil, the Big Dipper is also known as "large anus of the snake".

  • Trump Sues IRS for $10 Billion

    Jump

  • What a doofus. He could've asked for 10 billion and fifty dollars. Now he's going to be 50$ short some day.

  • What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today?

    Jump

  • Photo retouching as a physical trade. Colour photography and instant development killed the art of retouching black and white photos almost from one day to the next, because nobody could retouch colour photos and nobody wanted to pay for retouching black and white photos anymore, when Polaroids were easy to reshoot. My grandparents did it, but had to close the shop in the 1980s. I still have a few of their pens, but most of it ended up in a museum.

    50 years ago was in the 1970s. I actually think more skills were lost just in the 20 years prior to that than after. This is due to mass production and plastic, which created the consumer products since the 1960s. Prior to that, you'd actually consider all products (except food) to be a purchase for life.

  • I love it

  • Sunvox is a masterpiece. Perfect for small size audio. It's strange that it isn't more widely used in game development or even webpages. Not just because of small sizes, but because it's also possible to interact with the music, while it's being generated. I have no idea of how to classify this as a piece of software but it's mind boggling powerfull and it still runs perfectly on any potato.

    It would be nice to have better recording options than using the sampler, but I guess that defies the purpose of it.

  • House Democrats propose QR code ID requirement for ICE, CBP agents

    Jump

  • QR codes do have some degree of error correction.

    Try it. Draw over some white spaces. It'll still scan.

  • Do you play an instrument? If so, which one(s) and how proficently?

    Jump

  • I play all the rock instruments and then some. I never got along with fretless strings or horns, because they require much more practice.

    My main interests are in theory, composing and synthesizers, so I like instruments that are playable from a logic approach rather than muscle memory.

    I'm still pretty technically decent with guitars and the djembe. Maybe blues harp too.

    If I were to join a band, it'd probably be on bass though.

  • Many parents cab probably relate

    Jump

  • My daughter's school did something similar. It was a project about future city development, where groups of kids could create their own visions of what the harbour in the city should be like.

    Some went sciency and made robotic models and programmed led-strips and such, but most just painted the sides of cardboard boxes as a restaurant and printed a menu card, focusing on the business aspects.

    The school then invited parents and the city council to come see the presentations and to vote on the best project.

    They did all the work in school hours, so it's not like the parents could assist if they wanted to. Of course some kids could potentially ask their parents for funding for expensive robots but I don't think anyone did or what the point would be. It wasn't a graded project and the winners got a bag of candy, so it's hardly worth cheating for.

  • Trump, 79, Mixes Up Iceland and Greenland in Incoherent Davos Speech

    Jump

  • "Sovereignty over military bases."

    They already had that on Greenland since 1951. As recent as last summer Denmark even approved the same setup in mainland Denmark, so that the potential future American military bases in Denmark could be allowed to operate their bases under American laws instead of local laws, just like an embassy.

    Needless to say, this is wildly unpopular at the moment.

  • No doubt. I'm glad I had my 20s to roam around before getting kids, but I'm even more happy to still be young enough that I can travel the world and participate in physical activities with my kids as well. Having kids doesn't have to mean giving up on experiencing life. They're part of it, and they're the best people to share it with. In hindsight, I probably could have cut my party years short by five years without missing a thing. Having kids was the best thing in my life. It might not be for everybody.

    I'm in the late 40s now, and I feel it's too late to have more by now. I know people who do in that age. Divorced couples going for the late common child or DINKs who finally made enough money. It looks really tough for them. It's temporarily hard work for a couple of years. It's hard if you're young and don't have money, but it's also hard when you're old and less agile and physical on top.

  • what is stopping women to have kids later in life

    Menopause.

    But anyway, it's generally a good idea to have children earlier, because you'll get to spend more time with them and you won't be the weird old parent in the school. Also health reasons and whatnot.

    As for misogyny, I think it's mostly from one generation to the next and also more often women to women. Most guys that I know would rather postpone having children as long as possible for the same reasons that you've stated.
