Shoot fish with lasers. No need to compensate for refraction, problem solved.

Experimentalists: understood, say no more.

Theorists: ok, show me the Hamiltonian...including the noise terms.

And I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, that shouldn't matter. Because we should have universal vote by mail.

My state does this, and as far as I can tell there are zero downsides (eXcEpt iT wAsTes taXpayERs' MoNeY). Like the social aspect of voting on election day? Drop your ballot off in person, or just change your mind and vote in person.

Ranked choice works well in my city (San Francisco). Just wish it could realistically

given the political uphill battle

be applied to federal elections.

Multiple desktops, 1999. What an amazing feature.

A quick web search suggests that macOS (then OS X) got this in 2007 ("Spaces"), and Windows not until 2015.

This alone makes this GUI more functional IMHO.

So, start a few minutes before midnight, get in 50 laps, then 50 the next day.

Yeah, I feel like the right has such a black-and-white/zero nuance view of things. So then the left goes and does the same thing!

My sense is that these A*AB movements are really trying to say, "the institution of X is fundamentally flawed," and that's something I agree with definitely. But it's worded provocatively, which is just...assinine. Like, the little old lady who would be priced out of her home if not for renting out a room to a college kid, below market value? Yeah total bastard...

I once laser engraved "help I'm a banana" on a banana.

Death to non-compostable produce stickers. If lasers are what it takes, I'm all for it (not sure if that's really what's going on here though).

Gary Oldman 2.0

I don't think that's true at all. I'm ok with systemd, but I don't really like it, and find much of the criticism valid. At this point the reason I use it, and am more-or-less fine with it, is that it has become the de facto standard and is very well supported.

Which is also one of the reasons I dislike it

it is such an integral part of modern Linux systems that it can be hard to change, which reduces a lot of the appeal of Linux

flexibility and freedom.

In some ways I think the filesystem is philosophically the exact opposite of systemd

I can boot my system with an ext4 root, with a btrfs /home...or vice versa. Or add some ZFS, or whatever. The filesystem is (with the exception of some special backup schemes) largely independent of the rest of the system, despite being of core importance.

On the other hand, I can't change my init system (i.e., systemd) without serious, serious work.

I "rehabilitated" a bee this way a while back (hydration, sugarwater, and a very mild heat source). Beedude was lethargic and spent the night in a container inside.

When I released beedude the next day I saw the coolest thing: it flew up, made several circles in the air, and then flew off with determination. I am not an entomologist but it seemed exactly like what I would expect from something "calibrating its compass"/finding its bearings. Super cool!
