- Comment on A proposal to classify happiness as a psychiatric disorder 2 weeks ago:
The abstract suggests that happiness is a statistical anomaly, and in its final lines they suggest that “One possible objection to this proposal remains–that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.”

Valid. I checked again, and:
Known risks to the protocol include:
- Carriers being attacked by birds of prey. RFC2549: “Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled.”
So I guess that’s what’s happening here

Another example of such an attack

Pyrrhus is the namesake for the concept of Pyrrhic victory, i.e. where while you technically won, it was at such a cost that you couldn’t fathom trying it ever again. The linked article lists a number of historic examples.

I recall a story where there was a water restriction on a town for everyone, except for the golf courses. The next day, the golfers found that the Holes had been filled with cement, supposedly poured in there by activists.
- Comment on A succulent meal 1 month ago:
It looks basic but quite tasty if the prep and spicing has been done right.
Not every good meal has to be a Michelin Star affair, y’know. Sometimes, all you need is fries and two kroketten to be satisfied.

The time between me playing EmptyEpsilon for the first time and having to surpress the urge to… Ehm… Refer my weapons officer to Starfleet Command for extra training was only about two or three hours. Like, brother, if you’re gonna fire a homing missile, you pick a target, then fire the missiles! Half of our load went deep into space to maybe ruin someone’s day two star systems over!

By dubbing econ “dismal science” adherents exaggerate;
The “dismal”'s fine - it’s “science” where they patently prevaricate. - Comment on Has happened to me a few times 2 months ago:

I heard a bunch of kids yelling 67 in a supermarket the other day. I felt my IQ drop by several points just witnessing that.
An occasional acknowledgement of 69 is still nice though.
