If a Man cannot tear a page
from the marshmallow and burn it -
then he cannot be a scientist

so true 😔

pretty much

I basically only go there when DDG hasn’t indexed the Stack Exchange/Overflow Q&A I’m looking for.

Also decentralized SE/SO when?

Heh, cool.

Yeah I’ve seen this happen in real time. Maybe a little slower, but still inexorably.

Can’t believe no one’s said spritz of lemon juice yet. That was my go to as a kid.

This makes me uncomfortable.

Oh nice so you can flip about a bit to find the perfect spot - so handy!

it’s easy to listen to an audiobook at the same time

This blows my mind and shows what a different experience this must be, compared to what I was imagining. I suppose you’ve been reading sheet music for a long time now? Almost like a second “language.” Do you enjoy reading sheet music?

what really??

Vetinari IRL. From Soul Music by Terry Pratchett:

Besides, Lord Vetinari, the supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, rather liked music.

People wondered what sort of music would appeal to such a man. Highly formalized chamber music, possibly, or thunder-and-lightning opera scores.

In fact the kind of music he really liked was the kind that never got played. It ruined music, in his opinion, to torment it by involving it on dried skins, bits of dead cat, and lumps of metal hammered into wires and tubes. It ought to stay written down, on the page, in rows of little dots and crotchets all neatly caught between lines. Only there was it pure. It was when people started doing things with it that the rot set in. Much better to sit quietly in a room and read the sheets, with nothing between yourself and the mind of the composer but a scribble of ink. Having it played by sweaty fat men and people with hair in their ears and spit dribbling out of the end of their oboe… well, the idea made him shudder. Although not much, because he never did anything to extremes.

A flawed democracy is still better than no democracy

It’s not over yet, friend. There are still things worth fighting for, and still so, so much more we could lose. Don’t give up hope.

I think you can disable taskbar notifications. Nice wallpaper :)

UNacceptable

I mean technically, but it’s not like it’s trying to be subtle about it. From the page:

I believe that Facebook represents one of the gravest threats to democracies around the world […]

The point is to discourage instances from federating with threads.

Man I used to think there was no relation between what I ate and my wardrobe size, but eventually it really does catch up with you, especially if your day job is sedentary.

That’s legalistic genie logic. I think the intent of the penny is pretty clear, even if the wording is way too open.

I’m assuming there’s a downside, like you have to commit to whatever thing you were planning before the flip. So like I say I’m going to slap a cop, and then I flip the coin, hoping for the best.

Maybe the effect only lasts until you look which side of the coin came up - so you won’t know how it will go until you’ve tried it. :D

Penny. I like to live dangerously.
