You have one brief interaction and then spend the next two eternities pondering what that was, draw all sorts of baseless conclusions without attempting to contact the other person to ask for more information. I'm very good at it, been doing it for 30+ years.

We were taking a walk by the sea on a cold-ish winter night. Some stupid teens got up on the walls at the edge of the quay and started posing for photos and shit. Just as one of them was in the middle of yelling to her friends something about how not-scary it was up on that wall, two of them lost their balance and fell in the water. It was a big splash. I mean it was not good for those two kids of course, but the timing could not have been more hilariously perfect.

There are approximately two metric shit tons of planets. I assume scientists have better things to do with their time than to sit around and think of names to give to every single one of those.

How is that? Does risc-v have magical properties that make its designers infallible, or somehow make it possible to fix flaws in the physical design after the CPU has already been fabbed and sold?

Sir please it's not break dancing, it's breaking. IOC insists on using the latter, because they are desperately trying to convince people that it's a sport and the dance in the name makes that more difficult.

At first I thought break dancing was a stupid sport to include in the Olympics. The I figured if those hoop throwing and ribbon twirling stuff can be Olympic sports, why can't break dancing? It certainly has plenty of athleticism in it. More than many other sports in fact.

I still think the overly hip-hop-y style looks weird in the context of Olympics though. Contestants with funky nicknames, and presenters waving their arms while grabbing their crotch like it's a rap concert don't scream "prestigious international event that involves thousands of top tier athletes" to me. Though I guess it might be because I'm not used to it.

I got one machine with an amd gpu and another with an Nvidia. The amd machine is so much more comfortable to use, it's not even funny. The amd card just keeps chugging along and doing its job without bothering me, whereas the Nvidia card keeps making me make sure the drivers are properly loaded in the first place.

If only there was a good gun with a gun there to save him...

I know the frustration of trying to reprogram cheap Chinese esp32 knock offs that refuse to enter bootloader mode. Those nasa guys have to be some of the most patient people on earth. Up there with special education teachers.

There's a very popular plugin for the most popular stable diffusion UI that automatically touches up all the faces in the image. All it takes to make sure the faces are different is to literally check one box. Then an automated post-processing script regenerates all the faces. Done. Whoever did this couldn't even bothered to have their machine spend 1 extra minute on the job.

Different in what way? Does it regrow as an underdeveloped shadow of its former self?

What skill? This is not a fucking game lmao. I don't use an immutable distro because I have better things to do with my time than to try and climb a steep learning curve using some very questionable documentation. I can acknowledge the benefits, but I also acknowledge it's gonna take me time to get there. And I judge that the time investment is not worth it.
