or, “hHhHhHhH”, as in “I’m laughing so hard I’m hitting caps lock instead of A”
- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 4 days ago:
Some Slavic languages apparently also have distinct masculine and feminine versions of verbs, which match the speaker if in the first person. Apparently so does Icelandic (to the point where an Icelandic modernist novel was titled “When I Got Pregnant”, though in the masculine form)

Tell that to the judge
- Comment on A death prediction market would be a platform for crowdsourced assassinations 4 days ago:
There was a guy from the Cypherpunks community who set such a thing up (in the 90s/00s). IIRC, he was jailed after the courts rejected his defence that he was merely running an innocent betting site.
- Comment on Queensland Tesla registrations in free-fall, as Musk embraces far-right 4 days ago:
“Too far right for Queensland” is something
- Comment on Liminal Space 6 days ago:
Unless you go for Cartesian dualist theories about immaterial souls, consciousness of the sort we experience is an artefact of the structure of our brains and nervous systems, which are large in scale and complex. A small blob of human-derived brain tissue is not going to have consciousness, let alone self-awareness and a sense of horror at its predicament, any more than a 555 timer is capable of playing DOOM by virtue of being made of silicon.
- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 6 days ago:
Well, a man who scanned the periphery would come across as shifty (“what’s he looking for? is he some kind of voyeur or predator? he’s not staring at that girl’s tits, is he, the creep?”), so looking straight ahead is kind of like keeping one’s hands where everyone can see them. Though granted the absence of likely threats would also have an influence.

Require printers to check digital signatures on STL files and have only approved slicers add those
- Comment on The green lean mean killing machine 1 week ago:
If all mushrooms are edible but some are only edible once, m the latency makes the death cap one of the few mushrooms that’s edible a few times.
- Comment on Just A Friendly Reminder 1 week ago:
No, as apex predators, they accumulate toxins. It’s better to compost them.
- Comment on grrr 1 week ago:
The mask is off, and once you acknowledge that your ideology is about dominance and nothing else, “crimes against humanity” are just what the untermenschen call winning.

What breed of cat is that?
- Comment on Modern problems require modern solutions 1 week ago:
At least they don’t turn their charges into fertiliser, in the way that private equity-owned veterinary chains do.
- Comment on BIG (like Americans) IF TRUE 1 week ago:
Having had breakfast at an American diner and not needing to eat for the rest of the day, I can almost believe that. Food portions there are huge.
- Comment on Dutch Defence Secretary Boldly Claims F-35 Software Could Be 'Jailbroken' 1 week ago:
I can imagine the Trump administration ordering a kill switch to be put into the export version, explicitly disregarding any concerns. I can also imagine the kill switch being vibe coded by some Big Balls-style bros on secondment from one of Musk’s companies, and North Korean hackers finding it immediately.
- Comment on With their first female leader gone, can the Liberals shake their 'women problem'? 1 week ago:
“No women, no problem!”
Maybe they can specifically ban them from the main organisation like the Freemasons or something
- Comment on Dutch Defence Secretary Boldly Claims F-35 Software Could Be 'Jailbroken' 1 week ago:
The problem is not a hypothetical kill switch (which is unlikely in a fighter aircraft, as there’s no reliable way of having a back door only the good guys can use, and any possibility of enemy hackers pwning your jets is a nightmare scenario). It’s the F35 being designed as the tip of a very long spear, with most of it being in the US. There’s a lot of support infrastructure one requires, and mitigating dependencies on the US would involve replacing that, at considerable expense.
It’s not impossible, though it’s debatable whether it makes more sense than developing your own fighter instead.

Could you not also control the height of the pattern by having more stitches under the raised parts?
- Comment on Sleep well 2 weeks ago:
Could an embroidery machine be programmed to set the stitches’ directions as in the picture?
- Comment on Anyone remember these? 2 weeks ago:
I have a bottle of Gin Mare bought in Spain with such a stamp on the cap.
- Comment on Sleep well 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t look impossible to make, so it probably could exist, given enough of the time of a sufficiently skilled embroiderer.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
I just downloaded the demo of Relooted, and am about to give that a go. It looks interesting.

What exactly are Blavatnik’s politics here? He allegedly had some involvement with the Brexit campaign, and is said to be connected to the international oligarchical right’s antidemocratic push, though apparently supports liberals in Israel?
