I will come back to it eventually, when the time is right.
It’s not important enough to bookmark, it’s not urgent enough to get to right now, but it’s too interesting to ignore entirely. When the time is right for a tab, I will return to it. Sometimes I scroll through them to jog my memory. Sometimes I’ll decide it wasn’t as interesting as I thought and delete it.

Maybe, many relevant acquaintances have spoken very fondly of my balls, up to and including my wife. But maybe that’s just me.

The difference between persuasion and manipulation is largely subjective.
- Comment on When they get the bill too 1 week ago:
A man, obsessed with trains, finally sneaks into the engine one day. He’s having the time of his life for a few minutes before he screws up a switch and derails the train, killing dozens of people.
His trial is quick, and he is sentenced to death. The day arrives, and for his last meal he requests a single banana. He eats it, he’s strapped into the electric chair, and when they pull the switch… nothing.
They delay the sentence for a day, to examine the chair for defects. They tighten all the connections, check the wires, and test to make sure it’s working.
The next day, for his real last meal, he again requests a single banana. He eats, they strap him in and pull the switch. Again, nothing.
They delay one more day to tear the chair down to every component, test everything, reassemble, test again. They’re confident that the chair is working properly.
Next day, he asks again for one banana. “Oh no no,” the warden says “I didn’t know how you’re doing it, but you’re not getting another banana”. They serve him roast beef and potatoes, with apple pie for dessert. They strap him in, pull the switch and… nothing.
The bananas had nothing to do with it, turns out he was just a bad conductor.

- Comment on Major Bitcoin mining firm pivoting to AI, plans to fully abandon crypto mining by 2027 as miners convert to AI en masse — Bitfarm to leverage 341 megawatt capacity for AI following $46 million Q3 loss 2 weeks ago:
At least they’re pivoting instead of just doing both.

Yeah that’s why I asked this here instead of just googling reddit. Subscription models are very much not my vibe, I like buying a thing and consequentially owning that thing.
- Comment on Decent 3d scanners under $1000 2 weeks ago:
I’ve dabbled, but based on my results I feel like dedicated hardware would provide enough benefit to justify. My computer is reasonably beefy, but I’d rather pair that with a beefy front end.
- Comment on Decent 3d scanners under $1000 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s what I’ve done so far, but anything that’s not made of a few simple shapes gets annoying real fast. Compound curves, tone of details, and organic shapes are more time commitment than I’m willing to spend for most things.
- Comment on Decent 3d scanners under $1000 2 weeks ago:
That was the main brand I was looking at, still it’s difficult to decide between the options.

- Comment on If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is. 2 weeks ago:
Not really, no. A lot of the major ones, like the Flood, but there’s plenty of original content in every religion. It’s silly to suggest otherwise.
And my point is that if all these same stories keep popping up, maybe there’s some significance to them.

- Comment on If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is. 3 weeks ago:
There are centuries of religious thought by mystics developing upon the texts inspired in part by those stories. The parts based on common ancient legends comprise a relatively small part of religious texts.
And still, if anything that’s supportive evidence. The ancient legends that pop up again and again, that survive centuries of canonical revision, probably reflect deep and spiritually apparent features of reality.

They contradict each other on many aspects.
Yes, which is why I said to compare them to see where they don’t contact each other.
So either only is from God or none of them are.
Never said any of them were from God. They’re all from humans attempting to describe God.
- Comment on If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is. 3 weeks ago:
The Bible, and the Quran, and the Vedas, and every other religious text are human attempts to describe God. None of them are going to get it quite right in every detail, but you can learn a lot by cross referencing them to see what they agree on.

The Week called the “look” a “must-have accessory” for the inner circle of President Donald Trump. […] Matthew J. Nykiel, a board-certified surgeon, stated the appearance is modeled after Ivanka Trump’s appearance.
Holy shit.
- Comment on A rant on left-wing online infighting 4 weeks ago:
No, ceding to the greater evil because the lesser evil isn’t good enough is a race to the bottom. Lesser evilism is a gentle stroll to the bottom.
It’s easier to slow that gentle stroll to a stop, and subsequently turn around and head back up, than it is to slow down from a sprint.
Vote strategically to secure the best conditions the Overton window will allow, and use that period of deceleration to make a difference through direct action. Progressive change is easier to accomplish under mealy-mouthed liberals than under full-throated fascists.

- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe, but it’s just an aspect of the hobby. Besides fiddling with bed leveling it is mostly ready to use, even if you buy new and assemble it yourself that’s only a couple hours. Most of the other issues I brought up really only come into play once you start trying to do something less common.
I stand by my suggestion to fiddle with one for a while. You can probably pick one up secondhand, get a feel for the hobby, and upgrade once you figure out what features and capabilities are most important to you. It’s the sort of hobby where you have to get your hands dirty a little but just to get a good grip on what your real requirements are. Good printers can be a little pricey, and knowing what you need helps you avoid overpaying for stuff you don’t need.
