  • Dream technology is weird

  • At least once a week, I have a dream where some piece of technology that I use every day just won't work properly. I was up frustrated.

  • What's the best loophole you've ever found or learned about?

    Jump

  • From Wikipedia:

    Regardless of income but subject to contribution limits, contributions can be made to a Traditional IRA and then converted to a Roth IRA.[23] This allows for "backdoor" contributions where individuals are able to make Roth IRA contributions even if their income is above the limits.

  • Also income limits on a Roth IRA are easy to circumvent with the back door workaround.

  • Suicide can often be a matter of convenience and impulse. Even putting pills in blister packs instead of bottles has been shown to reduce suicides by overdose. After England switched from coal gas to natural gas, not only did suicide by gas inhalation decrease, all suicides decreased.

    Having nets will keep many people from even trying. Killing yourself is inherently irrational, folks contemplating doing it are rarely thinking pragmatically.

  • Their Bluesky account has a lot more real content. I wonder if the memes are a way to say goodbye to Twitter.

  • Back in high school, my buddy used to VNC into his Athlon 3200+ WinXP machine from school and start SuperPi calculating a million digits. Took 40minutes and got his room proper toasty by time he got home.

  • Wildfires in Hollywood

  • I just mean that I don't remember if climate change was specifically called out. I don't think it was. Not that another ecological disaster wasn't a major plot point.

  • Was it explicitly climate change? I thought it was “blight” or whatever fictional disease killing crops.

  • The Day After Tomorrow had a dude that was basically a stand-in for Dick Cheney so Dennis Quaid could tell him that he should have done more sooner.

    Waterworld, earth covered in water after the ice caps melted.

    Geostorm took for granted that we needed a global network of satellites to battle climate change.

    And who can forget The Happening or Birdemic?

    Oh, you wanted good movies? (tho I lowkey love Geostorm)

  • Is the script not copyrighted? Or is this transformative enough to be fair use?

  • How many of them were penises or boobs?

  • Hard truth

    Jump

  • That’s not it actually. Current theory is it has something to do with the overall decreased sensation of sunlight indicating it’s mating season or something. They won’t develop mature ovaries with both eyes.

  • According to where I learned it, in high enough densities in concrete tanks, some shrimp would grind their own eyestalks off on the side of the tank. Some farmer put two and two together.

  • Fun fact I like to share with everyone who enjoys shrimp. Up until the 90s 80s they were very difficult to breed in captivity. They just wouldn’t reproduce.

    Until someone figured out that it you cut out one of their eyes, they will readily breed. Nobody really knows why, but they snip off one of the eye stalks on the females to get them to breed.

  • That’s why my coffee shop hands out Gabriel’s Horn shaped cups. Bottomless, but finite volume. What a scam.
