Reno is the best. I love Tig Notaro’s dry-ass sarcasm.

Underrated comment

It’s been over a year since I unboxed it, but my Nintendo 64. Last game I played was Majora’s Mask and it suffered a hard reset in the stone temple that made me box it back up.

I still have a Gen 1 Das Keyboard as well

My girl craves bananas and will circle the table when my son and I are having breakfast, demanding her share. She also likes pita chips.

My old boy (RIP) used to love avocado and seaweed snacks.

It sure reads that way. Absolutely bizarre writing style

Capitalism is all about perverse incentives. It’s unavoidable

This resonated so much with me. I am nearly 40 and have spent far too much of my life obligated to others and not setting healthy boundaries. And of course, now that I’ve realized that and started setting stronger boundaries with people about what they may and may not demand of me, there is anger and pushback that I am declaring sovereignty of my own time.

Lying and pretending to know something who’s actually a complete stranger to them

When the stranger is a drunk woman in distress clearly trying to get away from a predator.

Exactly.

LLMs are ideally suited for replacing corporate middle managers everywhere.

And summers in Australia are brutal and can give you skin cancer

I’ve been working out 2 hours a day and started playing daily sudoku and lichess puzzles

My mom’s gonna be so mad her propaganda Trump memes are gone

If you’re congested, put 12 drops of the spiciest hot sauce you can get in a small cup of water and gargle it and swish it around like mouthwash.

You won’t enjoy it, but you will be able to breathe.

I can confirm for you that northern California is nicer

You visited the worst parts. No wonder.

Try Yosemite, Oakhurst, Morro Bay, or Monterey.

Yeah, I’ve thought about this a little bit but again my math isn’t so strong.

I guess approaching this more from computer science (something I’m more familiar with) you could compare with stuff like the NP Hard class of problems. And thus I offer that unproveable does not mean “wrong”. We generally “know” that P=NP is wrong but we cannot prove it only because we lack omniscience. Us lacking the information (in the physics sense of the word i.e. Hawking radiation) doesn’t mean the information isn’t there to be quantified.

Yeah, when writing this I sort of had the notion that any argument against hard determinism using quantum mechanics would instead 1) actually prove multiverse theory, and 2) therefore still prove in favor of determinism.

Maybe? My layman understanding of that topic is that the act of observation collapses alternative waveforms down to a single observed state. And if that’s the case, why couldn’t you “observe” the whole brain?

In this case the K in K-pop stands for Klingon
