Once, on a company-wide call, an executive said to everyone "Look, I know that I was wrong about NFTs and the Metaverse but..." and that's lived rent-free in my head ever since.

I watched Body Double for the first time at the beginning of the year, and I was just constantly taken back by how much the lead, Craig Wasson, looked like Bill Maher.

My #2 is that I don't believe Parsec can currently be hosted on Linux. Sunshine/Moonlight isn't as good for productivity, imo.

Without spoiling (as I post into the void), the first game had a better handle on tragedy as a result of collective institutional failure; that strict adherence to dogma/procedure can be as evil as intentional malice. A few additions in Resonant work in context but also undermine that aspect, imo.

I liked Control Resonance quite a lot (GOTY?), but found myself desperately missing some the humor, "new weird", and general irreverence of previous games (especially compared to the first Control). It tries to hit more emotional beats, which is fine, but I think that risks losing something special.

Even a box fan would be about 1/5th of a 7200 rpm hard drive. A sneeze is about 35 miles per hour according to an NIH study (the oft-quoted 100 mph isn't actually backed up anywhere).

ACME customer Wile E. Coyote fantasizes about hitting my head with a large mallet -- causing newly-hatched chicks to orbit my cranium and infect me with combined bird flu & salmonella, presumably -- because of how "loony" this would be...

I can see the reasoning. In a large enough area, latitude can factor almost as much as longitude. By the next solstice, Darwin will have 1.65 more hours of daylight compared to Adelaide!

Too many things would be better if people could more easily just go "Aw man, that sucks, I really liked that guy" instead of "I refuse to self-examine, alter my habits, or change in any way" in response to every fucking major or minor (but especially minor) inconvenience of their lives.

This may as well be the literal plot to Communion, which is definitely a true story and in no way could actually have been about someone with writer's block who suffers from sleep paralysis and a nervous breakdown. Absolutely not.

Amazing pull! Had to go look up what happened to that guy and... He was paroled after 20 months into his 15-year sentence. Cool.
Here's how the system worked in Sumrow's case:

He served 20 months of flat time, or actual time. He earned 18 months of good time, which is credit for good conduct, and 10 months of work time, for labor done behind bars.

That gave him a total of 48 months, or four years' credit -- more than a fourth of his 15-year (or 180-month) sentence. Thus, he became eligible for parole.

One of the reasons I switched to Firefox on mobile is because it supports full browser plug-ins like uBlock Origin. And the site still sucks.

You've actually been able to insert or swipe your card for at least 20 years (maybe 25?) since the first readers were rolled out in the US. I've done it maybe 2 or 3 times in my entire life.

"Some people can't be helped" felt like a crass dismissal when I was young, but has become more of a sad/practical resignation as I've grown older. There just can't be unlimited tolerance for this kind of toxic behavior.

Thanks! Now that I can read the full article, and was able to look up other sources, I can see that the social situation is extremely complicated and is fairly divorced from the practical need for masking (which remains effective, but not universally mandatory in an endemic situation).

I know that Bluesky has character limits and there's not always nuance, but can I ask for clarification about what's not supported by the science?
