Oh, man, I though I didn’t need them.
Of course they are not experts. Or at least, of course they are not honest experts, given that some sell the stuff the worm guy said cures autism.
- Comment on it's a real chicken or the egg scenario 2 hours ago:
It was confirmed by his appointed experts.
I dunno if this is better or worse. But there were other people pointing at it at the time.
- Comment on Can mere dirt cause heatcreep? 1 day ago:
I’ve had a hotend that constantly clogged with looked like heat creep, but it was caused by the filament being pushed laterally and twisting inside it. I imagine that made the plastic flow back.
I have also had one constantly clog due to the print cooling fan being installed wrong and blowing into the heater. This one is weird because it just unclogs when you turn the print off, leaving no evidence of what happened.

But what I do if I’m using a Raspberry Pi?
- Comment on Currency 3 days ago:
People traded black market food-voucher derivatives in the Brazilian hyper inflation…
It made it easier to redeem all of them as soon as you got a hold of them, because they wouldn’t buy the same thing through the entire month. Natural gas vouchers were more stable, though, so those only traded at face value.

Well, the UUIDs for almost everything we use are galaxy-scale already. Astronomers just need to up those random letters a bit.

It’s too bad we are already in January 68…

Portuguese: “carangueijo” vs. “sirí”
Apparently, the later are a single family:

The first is a very general name. But AFAIK, people eat those:

Did it cut out the European portion of Russia?
- Comment on STOP 1 week ago:
Yeah, I can’t describe that one. But people don’t even eat the same parts of those crabs.
- Comment on STOP 1 week ago:
Says the person that obviously has never eaten fried fish. Or also oysters.
Anyway, I just discovered that English has the same word for the crabs that walk on the ground and the ones that swim around. Those taste completely differently.
- Comment on obesity even kills stars, but the bigger they are, they shine brighter too 1 week ago:
Hey, the bananas are all there. You can just look at their natural place.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Just let stupid people kill themselves in peace. The press doesn’t even talk about it anymore… I guess journalists noticed he’s just dying, or he got out of money to buy attention.
Anyway, that’s 7 years, not 5.
- Comment on obesity even kills stars, but the bigger they are, they shine brighter too 1 week ago:
I got that impression too, but after some hand-based estimation I think the problem is that the Sun is cropped and that throws our senses off.
- Comment on Thanks 🙏🏻 1 week ago:
What kind of experience are you talking about? Maybe I’m a candidate for having it. I dunno.
- Comment on On Monoculture 1 week ago:
Hum…
Monoculture is either the same crop on a field every time, or the same crop is a very large area. A single crop in a field for one season only is crop rotation, something that is absolutely not monoculture.

Eh… Hum… I guess if it would help him hold the core, you’d better lend it…
- Comment on welp 1 week ago:
I mean…
Have you read his works? Who the fuck can tell what he actually spoke about or not? Or what’s satirical or serious?
I gave-up on reading him, because I certainly can’t.
- Comment on It's not a bubble! 1 week ago:
AFAIK this is a paraphrase that holds very well the meaning on the original.
- Comment on I've wondered since I was a youngin 1 week ago:
They could not have a series of civil wars, though. And the people on that revolt specifically using a more complex system to judge the civilians than “what is your skin color?” would have contributed a lot to help the country improve some decades after the revolt.
Of course, it’s not really something they could just stop and choose to change.
- Comment on I've wondered since I was a youngin 1 week ago:
Which way are you asking about?
Anyway, the corruption is always systemic. I’m not sure punctual corruption is even a thing that exists.
- Comment on I've wondered since I was a youngin 1 week ago:
Just to note, but that one didn’t end in a great society.
- Comment on I've wondered since I was a youngin 1 week ago:
Historically, almost all social progress has come from stopping before you kill your oppressor and making him reorganize the system in a way that works better. Just killing the oppressor usually only gives you another one a short while later.
Also historically, a small minority of oppressors ever accepted a truce where they reorganize the system. And killing the ones that didn’t let people run the dice again with a new one.

- Comment on What next, power supply shortages? 1 week ago:
And what you call a society where the people “exploiting workers for their surplus value” don’t own the capital, but just know the person that command the police?
Or are you under the impression that rich executives or investment funds own capital?

Turns out that the part that he didn’t like about “secret cabal of whatever-ethnicity people arranging word events in pedophilic ceremonies” was only the “secret”.
Maybe he wanted in, IDK.
- Comment on Yummy yummy, in my tummy 1 week ago:
I dunno if it’s some kind of addictive, but AFAIK it universally smells like stinky bugs, just weaker.
- Comment on What next, power supply shortages? 1 week ago:
How is that capitalism when “who you know” is the one most important factor deciding what you can do?

All parrots are great trolls.
All corvids are humorless vengeful beasts.
Both families coexist around Australia. I’m really curious of how they do it. I imagine they have some kind of unstable feud.
