  • Damn bro, really gotta do me like that

  • Well, relatively speaking.

    Compared to how garbage my other skills are.

  • That recognition does not remove culpability from past choices.

  • I need to read the paper that resulted from this experiment.

  • Bernie Sanders Receives Praise From Left And Right For Charlie Kirk Message: ‘Best Take I’ve Seen’

    Jump

  • Yea, I agree with you... But sadly the likely way out of that line of escalatory path is a civil war.

  • Whenever the US makes a mistake of any kind, Sanders is there pointing to morality like a compass.

  • Do you play an instrument? What's your favorite thing about it?

  • I don't and the fact I don't have to practice and listen to myself suck.

  • It sounds like the right thing for both of you is to reflect on what you are getting from being together and whether or not being together prevents you from doing things that are important to you?

    It seems to me she feels she wants to still continue the marriage, but also recognises that you have different needs. Would this arrangement be good for you? If not, what would?

    You still have a lot of life ahead of you, whatever you do, live it well.

  • Although 'Ode to spot' was intended as bad poetry, I always enjoyed it.

  • Very little info is... An understatement, but a valid point and valid questions.

  • xkcd #3135: Sea Level

    Jump

  • I live in an area with sea but almost no tide (although wind direction can have a pretty big effect on water level) and I have always felt that tides are weird man.

  • when I pour hot water int othe sink, the lights turn on

    Jump

  • Some LED strips intended for kitchens have a feature where you can place your palm on the strip to turn it on or change the brightness. This sort of thing is usually achieved with backscatter IR, which may also be triggered from water vapor. Try pushing your hand against the ends of the strip to invalidate this hypothesis.

  • Europe's first geostationary sounder satellite is launched

    Jump

  • Apparently this is a very sensitive and very selective thermal infrared imaging satellite which allows to build a volumetric temperature and humidity model of the atmosphere around Europe, Africa and surrounding regions. Swanky.

  • 'Get them the hell out': Trump says deporting US citizens could be 'next job'

  • I stand corrected, it does seem the more appropriate term.

  • Maybe Cambodia and Khmer Rouge? But not many.

  • 'Get them the hell out': Trump says deporting US citizens could be 'next job'

    Jump

  • So to my understanding Trump is proposing deportation as a means of punishment for violent crimes?

    Obviously problematic, especially considering the lack of due process present in some other deportations.

  • Hey, I had been searching for a reasonably priced NC hosting for a while. I even considered a VPS from Hetzner but somehow didn't find this. Thanks for pointing it out.

  • Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day

    Jump

  • Yea, I am not surprised given that the regular lane keep is still ghost braking when going under bridges.

    Still, I am surprised how well they are doing, using only cameras.

  • "Which fictional universe would you rather live in?"

    Jump

  • I think this is actually one of the more clever points Banks makes, although not explicitly.

    Fundamentally, the Culture believes that living things (and their definition in this regard is remarkably broad) have a moral right to exist. Therefore, as a society they are not expansionist. In order to remain non-expansionist, the population must be kept stable and this has implications either in childbearing or lifespans. The average Culture human mothers about one child but that means they can't, on average live forever. Why they choose to have children at all perhaps also boils down to the future generation's moral right to exist, but also because they recognize that a renewing population means a renewing culture and Culture.

    In this light, I believe it's easy to see immortality as a sort of childish self-aggrandizement comparable to wanting to become the ruler of some backwards planet. Skaffen-Amtiscaw (an artificial entity and citizen of the Culture) even remarks on Zakalwe's immortality as childish in Use of Weapons.

    The Culture never appeals to nature – how could they, they are ruled by their Minds!

    (Mind is a sort of very powerful artificial intelligence).

    There is a lot of similarities between the Culture and Trek, they are both visions of post-scarcity humanity made impossible by the simple fact that humans could never be that nice.

  • "Which fictional universe would you rather live in?"

    Jump

  • With the assumption I can choose who I am, I would argue that Banks' Culture would be my choice. The Culture as a whole is much less vulnerable due to its size and scale and their technology is more advanced. Want cool space adventures? Join Contact or just go travel around in another civilization. Magic adventures? The sleep games and VR is like holodecks but on steroids. Want to live forever? No problem (although it's frowned upon).
