Oh you think you can convince me to read the paper with a clever title?

But you’ve ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD: Terminally Online!

Effect: Reading the title counts as reading the content.

The science_memes and noncredibledefense crossover we didn’t know we needed.

Does this technically mean that Wernher von Braun stating “The rocket performed beautifully, it just landed on the wrong planet” was a non-credible defense?

(Fourier taking a big drag on a doob): Everything… is just a sinewave man.

So just to expand upon the article author’s one possible future of it being overwhelming which he briefly glosses over, please enjoy this animated reading of one of my favourite graphic novels: Transmetropolitan

But how would the corporate world divide the 13 month year into quarters? Don’t you know what that’ll do to the bottom line?! Think of the poor shareholders! /s

Robins are aggressively territorial. Pretty much every time you hear them chirping it’s either saying “FUCK OFF!!!” or “FUCK ME!!!”.

The Royal Observatory Greenwich:

“Well, as the first to co-ordinate time we-”

The International Telecommunication Union and International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service in Unison:

“Excuse me, I think you’ll find we manage the time.”

NIST: “I don’t see your footprints up there! We’re going off my Omega Speedmaster!”

I touched it during a primary school trip there.

Yeah but Electromagnetics is the DEEP magic behind electronics.

You could, if you wanted, use quantum mechanics and electromagnetic field theory to do circuit design. But unless you’re building quantum computers or doing simple circuit analysis and wanted a real challenge applying Kirchhoff’s Laws, there’s no need.

So you can use the simplified electronics model where the current (and therefore primary charge carriers) is positive.

It’s sand we carved into patterns and tricked into thinking with tamed lightning.

Then there’s RF (radio frequency) which is the DEEP magic.

So is there a 9th circle? Would that be a programming language where the only way to compile would be to speak op-codes out loud in the correct sequence & cadence into a microphone?

Seagulls are vicious and vindictive bastards.

Excellent! Well played.

Here’s a fun game:

Pick any Wikipedia article. Click the first link. Keep clicking the first link. Eventually you’ll end up at Philosophy and forever be in a loop going back to Philosophy.

Turns out conscious thinking and applying logical rigor is the basis for everything we perceive.

You might find this video helpful to understand that you’re not alone in this.

Also I feel the same way. I’d rather not experience the pain and suffering, but I’m here anyway and therefore I’ll occupy my time doing things I think have meaning.

For me that’s using my ability to engineer things that people find helpful and make life better.

Compeed Blister Plasters. They are the best and excellent to have on hand after a long walk or breaking in new boots. No other brand or non-name brand comes even close.

Using Reddit on web is no good for me since I can’t look at it during work and at home I’d rather watch YouTube.

Baconreader was the only 3rd party app I liked and now Connect for Lemmy is a good replacement for it to check occasionally.

I also like that there’s less new posts compared with Reddit so I now spend more time reading than I did before.

Also the community here feels much more welcoming.

Up Lemmy!
