Nothing that tasted quite like home, unfortunately.

"Sending migrants away, not allowing them to grow, not letting them have life is something wrong; it is cruelty. Sending a child away from the womb of the mother is murder because there is life. And we must speak clearly about these things."

Trump = cruel, but Harris = LITERALLY MURDERING BABIES!!!!

Definitely subtle.

k, but it kinda sounds like you're being cuckolded...

The whole article reads like satire.

If a solar sail can work, why not fart propulsion?

Fair point, but it's kicking the can down the road. Insert "...to continue publishing good games," "...to continue doing good work," "...to continue functioning" instead and the argument still works. But you're right, they're a publisher, not a developer, that's my mistake.

"We had to rehire our talented employees to continue making good games" would seemingly make the point very strongly that the workers bring value, not the owner?

Well, now both seem right. Can we get a physicist consultation? If you pull a rope bridge from both sides, it raises it. But if low enough, that puts you in the water...?

 

There's a lot of gold for a 2:00 clip, but my favorite subtle part is that he appears to throw a frisbee for her to fetch at 0:55, after telling her to scram and just before telling her she has a great ass.

 

It's just so cool. I would love to compose a piece of music on a punch sheet for one of these--like a precursor to MIDI that's arguably superior (in that it features real, physical instruments).

Also sort of the "AI will destroy music" of the early 1900s.

 

Kind of random, but I've always enjoyed this. She's absolutely pitch-perfect and her voice pierces the room despite no microphone and being recorded on a crappy cell phone.

I love the hushed awe and participation of everyone in the bar. Would have been a magical moment.

 

I find fractals extremely fascinating and way, way, way out of my depth. One example being the Barnsley Fern, which I find so cool. It feels a bit like someone cracked a little piece of the Matrix code.

But is there anything really significant about the fact that it looks like a fern from a botanical/mathematical perspective? Do the two connect in any real way? Can we somehow find the math genetically or learn something about the mathematical properties of other leaves, for example? How "real" is it?

If I could make an oak leaf from fractals, would it advance mathematics and/or botany or would it be equivalent to creating a cartoon using Geogebra (nice to look at, but basically meaningless)?

 

In the past, I've relied on whatever stream I happen to be able to find through whatever sketchy site and it's really frustrating.

Are there any legit, reliable ways to catch NFL games as they're happening (ideally that don't require a cable subscription/tuner card)?

 

The way he keeps raising his voice somehow makes it so much worse.

 

I would describe it as Napoleon Dynamite meets Mister Rogers directed by Wes Anderson.

It's a lovely show that got cancelled after 3 seasons, but the seasons they got were really special and worth watching. There's a very subtle, sweet storyline throughout the story that isn't immediately obvious if you just jump around via clips.

 

Inspired by this video, which someone posted recently.

And, yes, this is a legit showerthought!

 

Timely and timeless 84(!) years later.

 

Masterful mixing, too.
