Boomers are real pieces of shit

I have some weird news for you: Generations don’t exist. Boomers? Not real. Silent Generation? Nope. Gen X? No! Millennial? Non-existent! ALL OF THEM.

I would argue that the Republicans are a symptom as well, the whole USA democratic structure will only enable a 2-party system. The whole systemic structure is rotten.

The “Infinite monkey theorem” concerns itself with Probability (the mathematical field). It has been mathematically proven that given the random input (the mathematical kind - not the human-created kind) of the monkeys, and the infinite time, the probability of the “complete works of William Shakespeare” rolling out of the typewriter in between the other random output is 1.

It’s a mathematical theorem that just uses monkeys to speak to the imagination, not a practical exercise, other than to prove the maths.

You should look into another brain-breaking probability problem called the “Monty Hall Problem”. Note that some of the greatest mathematical minds of the time failed said puzzle. Switching 100% increases the chance of winning. No, it won’t guarantee a win, but it will increase your chances, mathematically.

Aw boo! Where is your sense of fantasy!?

decaf - white clouds

It starts with a nice piano, when the bass drops.

The original song is Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche, but that’s missing some oomph :P

“for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God” - Exodus 20:5

Says it all, really. This whole character trait is that he’s a jealous little asshole. He’s like Dolores Umbridge.

I’m aware Christians may make counter-claims, but I’ve read the old testament, and all he does is to come off as an absolute asshole - you either worship me, or else!

I wasn’t too surprised (but it made sense) that he (Elohim) originally came from the Canaanitic pantheon. How else can you be the only god, yet people shouldn’t worship other gods? He’s not, that’s how.

*Freedom of Expression

We don’t have Freedom of Speech, but we do have Freedom of Expression. Important difference, even though it may freak out some Americans.

LineageOS, maybe? Still Android, but (AFAIK) more open to change than standard Android.

So sad when it happens…

I don’t follow - do people still seriously use SMS? I for one try to use it as little as possible.

Don’t both Windows and MacOS call it folders, and Linux calls it directories?

Oh man, I remember this from years ago when the only 1-up on Minecraft it had, was that I could run it at 60 FPS, infinite chunks in all directions, no extreme lag spikes while generating the map, and further view distance.

Zero mods back then, so I’m happy to see the mod support!

Topologically speaking, the frog is a donut.

One year left, before W10 support goes out the Window.

If not STEM, then HEAL? (Health, Education And Learning)

I was referring to Borderlands: The Movie, not Mario.

And I’m blaming him a little as he still took the bag.

I understand; I was just being transparent with the fact that I’m a lazy motherfucker and that I used it to “translate” the text.

ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what’s going on.

TL;DW Matt’s claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it’s called - I’m recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt’s reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress’ resources.

He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it’s not like he’s trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).

"“It was very annoying,” says Ms Rosenberg. “I had 10 minutes to do that and nobody saw the last ones that I did were much better.” Jane Rosenberg was much happier with this sketch of Caroline Ellison which attracted far less attention than one she had 10 minutes to draw.

Well, she did tell that she didn’t get a budget, so they just effectively stole from other departments. Want a table that’s not bolted down? Take it.

But that’s Navy internals, (arguably) not a massive for-profit company that’s going it out of sheer greed.

I asked ChatGPT to convert the text to common words:

“Academic writing is often hard to understand because it uses complicated words specific to a particular field, making it easier for experts to communicate with each other but harder for outsiders to follow. This keeps certain knowledge limited to a small group of people and maintains a cycle where only the educated or ‘in’ crowd can fully engage, while others are left out.”
