This is confusing. “Low Power” isn't indicating the mac is in low power mode. It's a toggle for turning low power mode on/off.

”…had to be accurate because she was—in fact still is—a woman […]. Every time she writes a story she has to prove she knows what she’s talking about. Men do not have to, because men have penises, which give men a natural ability, from birth, to speak authoritatively about all sports, all the time.“

Whenever I've needed to transform coordinates to rotate or do a 3D projection I've used a bunch of sin/cosine calculations. I was aware it could be done more efficiently with matrices but never understood how it worked. Thanks to @3blue1brown.com I get it now. It's not as complicated as i thought.

The award for the movie I'm most not going to see goes to…

The upcoming Ronald Reagan biopic Reagan stars noted Donald Trump supporter Dennis Quaid as the title character, and the cast includes Jon Voight, Kevin Sorbo, and Creed's Scott Stapp (as Frank Sinatra). Directed by Sean McNamara, the film also boasts a soundtrack with some noteworthy names. The biggest of them is Bob Dylan, who recorded a cover of Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In" for the closing credits. Notably, Quaid is the third cousin of the late Gene Autry, who cut a popular version of "Don’t Fence Me In" in the 1940s.

for years i didn’t. wearing it i often ended up with footage of the ground; bike mounting was tedious; wasn’t clear whether it was recording if i even remembered to turn it on. i’ve very recently solved the mounting and now carry a 360° camera with a single button to power on and start recording.

Republicans are completely untethered.

“The right-wing preacher turned politician Victor Marx has said that he first killed a man when he was 7. He’s not sure how many deaths he’s been responsible for since. Marx has been arrested at least twice for disorderly conduct and has described terrorizing a psychiatrist with talk of murdering him. He told the Colorado journalist Kyle Clark that he can perform exorcisms by phone. On Thursday he was declared the winner of the Republican gubernatorial primary in Colorado.”

i've been using a death star interior shot as a virtual background for work meetings for a very long time. ten minutes into tomorrow's standup my usual background will do this without warning. because i'm a fucking dork. and because sometimes i want to play with #DaVinciResolve and #vfx.

don't trust anyone who uses two spaces after a period.

A crude drawing of a person hugging a furry horned beast with the text "I CARE ABOUT THIS ALOT". It's part of a post from "Hyperbole and a Half" which humorously declares, in part,

"The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people's grammar. It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug, and it has provided hours of entertainment for me in a situation where I'd normally be left feeling angry and disillusioned with the world."

i mean. c'mon. greenwater? it says it right there on the thing.

On Saturday, Trump pledged to drain the algae-infested reflecting pool. After sinking more than $16 million in taxpayer money into no-bid contracts with two firms, reportedly including a business of his donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro of Greenwater Services, the landmark is greener than before and peeling.

If you’re doing this in a web browser switching to reader mode will disable the anti-copying mechanisms. (sorry for the mobile screen recording. i’m not near a computer.) i suspect disabling javascript would get around it too but haven’t tried it.

More debate questions like this please. (re: Victor Marx)

Screenshot of quote:

“You claim that you’ve been all around the world, armed to the teeth, rescuing women and children from captivity, that you stopped human smugglers at the Mexico border and made them pay a price, that you, as a civilian, called in a U.S. Military airstrike that killed 70 ISIS fighters, that you were the first American into Gaza during the war with Israel, that you’ve done 150 high-risk missions and every one has been a success. You told me last week that it’s all true and that you don’t need to prove it to anyone. But you’re talking to voters now. How should voters decide whether you’ve lived one of the most extraordinary lives in human history, or whether you’re a liar and a fraud?”
