Oh wow, what a huge memory triggered! The total prioritization of whiz-bang on that site.
Shot me back to 1998(?ish?) where I met an absolutely amazing artist who started with street and scene art, huge airbrushed murals, and moved into digital media. He was an absolutely drug-addled, unprofessional lunatic. But also the best, if you could ever as the creative lead, draw a circle around him. We made a lot of games that were very bog-standard mechanically, but he took the creative design to places nobody had been in terms of visual game design. I love/hated him and I affectionately called him Mad Dog and it stuck at work lol
This website reminded me of his personal side project Dr Wash. I remember him showing off his site to me, which at the time was truly a marvel of what could be done artistically on the Web. After browsing every section and page, I was left with one question to him: What is it you actually do or sell?? I meant it! lol
This memory hit me when it took me 30 seconds of mystery meat navigation, then no-scrollbar but need to infini-scroll down to hopefully find textual information that actually says something. Etc. Some things never change haha

Can you explain in brief, to a person pretty out of the loop?

Is any of what you are saying material though?
It’s kind of revelatory that vegan is a shifting term, that means whatever it wants to mean for the believer.
I tell vegans all the time that in order to have their potato chips brought to them, first they have to have millions of hectares of fields destroyed, planted with a monoculture potato crop, sprayed with pesticides, harvested by diesel equipment, made in a factory with pollutants, placed on trucks which ship all over the country.
Swallow a fly, oh my God the world is ending. Kill a couple thousand things on the way to get your vegan chips, let’s not talk about that.

My sister had a freak out and told me she would never allow chemicals on her lawn. I said what about nitrogen?
NO FUCKING WAY
I followed up by asking her what she thinks our breathable atmosphere is made of, and what is captured by the rain and falls on her grass?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
I told her no, I don’t, because when you just make up imaginary definitions for words, no one can ever know what you mean.

I’m not the other person but my reason is I feel they’re faux-intellectual videos that mostly serve to confuse people and muddy issues. A bit of an embarrassment to science, cloaking their tomfoolery in faux-surprise and scripted wonder.

Great post, thanks
Our local arcade guy, I’ve known him casually for decades. He realized the DDR craze was over and the old school game profitability was long gone. He refactored and has an absolutely fabulous pinball arcade downtown, and I’m talking like 20 minty tables that he maintains par-excellence. There’s an SF cab, a NEO GEO, a DDR, a few novelties like grip strength and punching bag, 2 pingpong tables, air hockey. He rolled with the punches and stayed relevant, moved to a high-rent somewhat touristy area with shitloads of foot traffic.
I love the imagery of the arcade in that article. We didn’t have one like that in my city, but we had the last of the true Snooker parlours and the look was nearly identical - hand written screeds all over the place adhered with yellowed tape that welded itself to the wall over time. Rickety equipment that is barely holding on.

I actually cannot believe you have any upvotes for this type of comment.
If computers and networking were not involved, and we lived in the 1970s, this would be the equivalent of setting off a remote bomb in every factory across the country for your former company when you get fired.

Thank you for pointing out that CS <> programming.
CS is mostly math, cryptography, signal processing, image processing, information theory, data analysis/storage/transformation, etc.

To the tech people listening… I was high up in many areas for a few decades but I left it all behind. There is still a massive talent-acquisition problem, not just in tech but every industry, that is just waiting to be solved. The departments and staff tasked with hiring are not competent, nor capable of connecting qualified applicants to jobs. The entire hiring system is broken as fuck, and the “job boards” and apps didn’t fix it, they made it far, far worse for everybody on all sides.

- Comment on 100% vegetarian 4 weeks ago:
This is known as a joke.
One of the most sinister problems is with fee-fee vegans and vegetarians, who in service of their ignorance, kill way more things to sustain their politically-motivated and fee-fee-based lifestyle.
I’m as close to vegetarian as my body will allow. I’m just calling the movement for what it is. Kill something with a face? OMG! Flatten millions of acres, farm them with diesel equipment, ship the product in trucks 2000 miles so you can have your vegan potato chips.

You don’t have to preach nutrition to me, I cook everything from scratch.
The problem here is that obese societies are already over-reliant on fat, so making it more available and cheaper is going to be self-destructive.

This is really about how we feed our species and heal our planet at the same time
Yeah we need more fat. That’s what’s gonna help. More fat. Who owns the Olestra patents and how long until they purchase the artificial fats patent?
- Comment on Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates 4 weeks ago:
Of course not. They’ve made artificial fat, not butter. BIG difference
water, lecithin as an emulsifier, flavor and color
