I’m glad to see technology used in the pursuit of important science.

I didn’t read the title. I thought, ‘Jeez, I never noticed Daniel has that crazy eye.’

We need a remake of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. They both play the role, and then they’re merged like this.

British 1960s slang for a woman is “bird”. So, men are bees.

I bet that guy who has lied to his family about liking manatees for the past 20 years knew this, even if he didn’t want to.

What is the point of the pixelation?

Squid are fren. Don’t eat.

What. The. Fuck. The. Actual. Living. Fuck. What.

No free feet pics.

Not that anyone would pay for mine. At least I don’t think so? Not that there’s anything wrong with my feet, they’re clean enough, and I have all my toes and toenails (although, I do need to cut my nails), and the skin isn’t leprotic or anything. It’s just that I’m not someone who would expect that anyone would be interested in my feet. Maybe because I’m not interested in feet? Is it just projection? Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with people who find feet interesting, or even… erotic? They’re harmless, it’s just not my thing.

I drew a factory with the smoke stacks making a u-turn and stuck into the ground. Seemed like a good way to keep pollution from going into the air.

It’s only a problem for our species. And, only for future potential members of our species. The declining birth rate isn’t going to hurt anyone alive today. Not even billionaires, not in any way that matters.

Overall, the Earth would be much happier and peaceful without us. We’re not special, we’re just selfish.

Finally, probably, even in the worst human-caused catastrophe, at least some pockets of humanity would survive. Again, though, not that it really matters.

TLDR; Don’t worry about it. It’s no one’s problem to solve. We didn’t ask to be born, and none of us owe our species anything.

You can use it for sealing wax

Here’s an episode of Candle Science about using Babybel wax in a candle

If you didn’t know there was a Candle Science channel, you’re not alone. If you don’t care that there’s a Candle Science channel, ditto.

Most holiday celebrations stop dead the day after. Halloween decorations are taken down, we go back to normal meals after the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone, Christmas music is gone from public spaces, New Year’s is over on the second, once the hangover is gone. Easter doesn’t even last a whole day, and the majority of us don’t really celebrate Valentine’s day.

So, why can’t people stop setting off fucking fireworks on July 5th? I swear to god, these assholes… days before and weeks after. Can it just please be one day?

Fortunately, GabeN shows no interest in selling Valve to anyone.

Last but not least, the OS was changed from Windows Server to Ubuntu 24.04.2, a simple switch that resulted in better I/O performance on its own.

Oh boy, here we go.

Nobody tell him.

So, feet fingers, or “feengers”?

Here’s a circuit board with resistors installed. They’re used by hobbyists to make their own boards.

However, even for hobbyists, surface mount versions are now common:

The one UI thing I really miss from windows is the BIG file preview in the file manager. Text files, PDFs, images, spreadsheets, etc. It’s nice to have a big window where I can see the contents right there in file manager when I’m looking for a file. When it exists in Mint, for instance in some cases with images, the image is too small to be of use. If that would cost performance, HDD space, etc., then make it optional, and warn the user.

Not, mind you, that I feel I have any space to complain, Mint is great, and I’m happy to have it. I’m not ungrateful at all.

I’d be fine with the dwarf disappearing for 36 hours and forgetting I exist.
