I dunno, I think John K managed the worst of both worlds.

That's why I put on, then I'm never tempted to stop and watch.

It is a place where you drive, to your job

How very cool! Thanks for doing the research and reporting back! I love seeing such a clear and beautiful example of two models, one virtual, sharing emergent properties and behaviors.

Why wait? Those horny, gym-rat twinks are out there waiting for you right now!

In Alejandro Jodorowsky's concept for a Dune film from the early 1970s, each house has their costumes and architecture designed by a contemporary artist. Giger was the designer for the Harkonnen, and several of his ideas persisted beyond the failed film.

The Harkonnen Castle

A Harkonnen chair

I assumed Villeneuve was calling back to those designs.

Next up, the Koch snowflake that asymptotically approaches a Hausdorff dimension of (log 4 / log 3) with each post

But what about the unlined, non-equilateral triangles that I can draw between any 3 arbitrary points in the given plane? Did you count those triangles!?!

I really felt like that one was going to taste... alright. Like, acceptably weird.

I'm not sure i understand the value of this attack. If you've infiltrated supply lines enough to feed your opponents trapped devices, why make them bombs? Why not, you know, spy on them with them?

I can only assume they either:

a) have enough visibility into their org already or

b) value the potential damage over any future information advantage

But again these don't square to me. If A is true then why not use soldiers, drones, or smart bombs to target people since you've already located them? If B is true, why trigger the attack now? Did they kill any high value targets, does this disrupt operations at a critical moment?

I have to think it's pure terrorism. Make people distrustful of any devices, voluntarily complicating or crippling their own communication system in the belief it could be explosive. Still, I feel like having this deep of an infiltration is so much more valuable than anything detonating them could have accomplished.

I figured he was talking about Searle's Chinese room thought experiment. Searle sucks though, so that's probably also racist (in addition to being stupid.)

This is especially funny because I think there's only 7 positions on a typical trombone anyway, and unless you have godlike lips can only hit 3 or 4 octaves across those. i played trombone through high school and it's like the easiest instrument, haha.
