Well of course we're going to throw poo at him

BluesF ,

Well he seems to survive every time so... Penultimate destination?

BluesF ,

The second one was much better, in their defence

BluesF ,

Personally I'd rather see those jobs done by robots. No one wants that job, let the robot do it.

BluesF ,

Yes as long as it isnt one person 8 votes another person 9. Although, the electoral college somewhat is that anyway... A vote in one state is not equivalent to a vote in another.

BluesF ,

Elapsed time but not necessarily working time. Working time costs a lot more than elapsed time.

BluesF ,

While they look similar I don't think they are the same person. Her nose in particular is quite different, spacing of her eyes... I'm not convinced so far.

BluesF ,

Ah yes, the only notable thing about Luxembourg is the US military. Nothing else.

Anyone have luck with a hair growth *inhibitor*? Especially my fellow gentledudes who could be mistaken for sasquatch after skipping a day of shaving.

I've heard of things like Nair that make it fall out... if that was a one-and-done solution I'd be all for it, but I'm hoping for something that slows or stops it from growing....

BluesF ,

Newer laser can work on lighter hair, still less effective but possible nowadays.

BluesF ,

But SUVs and trucks are increasingly the cars that most people own.

BluesF ,

They also aren't a member of many international legal bodies and thus do not consider themselves bound by international law. Frustratingly, they are basically right - international law is opt-in.

BluesF ,

The best grenade launchers are the ones I use every day (grenade launcher is what I call my arms)

BluesF ,

What??

BluesF ,

Maco does have a nice ring to it if they take off. Punch a nazi, punch a maco.

BluesF ,

Aramaic, maybe also Hebrew. Both have pronouns.

BluesF ,

Couldn't you just go for a slow, spiralling course instead of the direct route? Much less correction needed from Earth's course, just a constant deceleration relative to the orbit path.

Content Warnings Do Not Reduce Distress, Study Shows ( www.psychologicalscience.org )

Advocates for the use of trigger warnings suggest that they can help people avoid or emotionally prepare for encountering content related to a past trauma. But trigger warnings may not fulfill either of these functions, according to an analysis published in Clinical Psychological Science....

BluesF ,

From the abstract:

Findings on avoidance were mixed, suggesting either that warnings have no effect on engagement with material or that they increased engagement with negative material under specific circumstances.

BluesF ,

You seem to be missing a colon in your comment, that's the little symbol with two dots and should be used when starting a list in that fashion, FYI.

Also in what I assume was your haste to demonstrate that you use semicolons, you have misused the semicolon twice.

BluesF ,

This kind of thing is where ML/AI can really shine. Data which is consistent, regular, where there are deep, hidden patterns that are not easy for humans to recognise. It's very interesting that this came from an LLM, there are so many interesting and surprising applications of them that go beyond asking ChatGPT to write python for you.

I saw a talk at a conference about a ML model designed to write chemical synthesis instructions. We have tons of systems able to predict synthetic pathways and the like, but not necessarily to predict the best solvents, extraction techniques, etc... and an LLM might provide a way to get there, which I think is amazing.

BluesF ,

Stealing from an individual is deplorable. I can understand why someone might want to respond aggressively (although to be clear I still don't think it's justified) if someone steals medication from an old lady... But from a shop?

BluesF ,

There's not so much to mess up on, say, Mars. I mean the terrain is interesting in its way but it's not like we'd be annihilating complex ecosystems like we are here on earth. We would have to establish significant ecosystems anywhere we settled, in fact.

BluesF ,

Those people aren't the switch's target demographic at all. The target market love it, I guarantee.

BluesF ,

Probably because dogs only live like 10-15 years. Their little gnashers don't have to last quite so long... Then again they also like to chew up wood n shit so I suppose they go through a lot.

BluesF ,

Lemmy: my new girlfriend caught me installing arch while wearing her thigh highs

BluesF ,

Is the angle different the other side somehow? Is the north/south swapped or something?

BluesF ,

Your morals and the morals of >50% of French respondents obviously don't align.

BluesF ,

I was fully ready to accept that was an image of a bearded lesbian who I hadn't yet heard of.

BluesF ,

No, but actually, yes. But only in Neum.

BluesF ,

On Reddit there are three:

  • credibledefence - military nerds analysing military history and present conflicts in a serious way with stringent rules
  • lesscredibledefence - fewer rules, casual discussion of mostly current affairs specific to ongoing conflicts
  • noncredibledefence - military memes
BluesF ,

Do we have a c/mendrawingwomen yet? Lmao bikini model V dragon - who would win!?

Guess Who’s Coming to Elon’s Dinner ( puck.news )

“On a brisk Friday evening earlier this month, David Sacks and Elon Musk convened a dozen or so of America’s most powerful business leaders for dinner at Sacks’ $23 million, 11,000-square-foot home in the Hollywood Hills. The dinner party, according to people familiar with the intimate gathering, comprised a veritable...

BluesF ,

Two fence posts and a glowstone block, obviously.

Hanging someone off it will be challenging though...

BluesF ,

The only thing I can think of that this could refer to is split brain patients who have undergone a specific medial procedure once used to treat epilepsy. It's possible, although not well understood, that the two halves of their brain operate sort of independently, and only one has access to speech.

It's a very interesting topic, well worth diving into! But it's also very muddy, there is contrasting evidence for and against the "two mind" theory.

Anyway, I'm fairly certain this "theory" does not apply to healthy brains which have not undergone this procedure.

BluesF ,

If you're interested I highly recommend this evidence review on the topic. I don't remember the details but there does remain some compelling evidence for both sides. It seems like the two halves are able to communicate in some ways, but not in others. It's not fully clear if this means there are two distinct consciousnesses, or if they continue to operate as one.

BluesF ,

Yeah I think that's what's so interesting about it! It's one of the few situations where we have been able to (in a limited way) study how consciousness comes about in a mind. Perhaps leaving us with more questions than answers... Tantalising.

BluesF ,

There are also other ways to deal with mosquito populations that don't involve destroying the habits of other animals.

BluesF ,

Guarantee most of the people who argue about pronouns on the internet don't even know a trans person.

BluesF ,

He's not orange for some reason

BluesF ,

Whoever designed the "charts" is in on it, I know that much

BluesF ,

I don't think anyone is suggesting you manufacture this enzyme and just pour it onto a landfill.

BluesF ,

Dude what is the app?? I've been looking for exactly this.

BluesF ,

Amazing thank you!

BluesF ,

I was wondering if there was some way to do exactly that earlier - excellent & many thanks friend

BluesF ,

It definitely is.

BluesF ,

There are certain people I know who have a very distinctive smell that I would recognise... But realistically I'd have to get very close to reliably smell it.

BluesF ,

It would be even better presented as a matrix or similar so we can see which news sources overlap on a single juror.

BluesF ,

The ISS also moves relative to the receiver, whereas geostationary satellites don't.

BluesF ,

The best way to stave off health problems and pass time is to simply pace back and forth across the room.

BluesF ,

Hmmm, roughly doubling in size every 20-30 years. Fortunately it should be at least a few centuries before we really have to worry.
