Yeah, although maybe it’s good that they’re straightforward? No euphemisms, no pretense.

Er, yes but also this…

Make injections and decapitation quicker and easier with Braintree Scientific’s DecapiCones. Tapered plastic film tubes provide quick and easy restraint of rats, mice, and other small animals. I.P. injections can be made directly through the film! DecapiCones restrain post-decapitation kicking and prevent personal contact with feces or urine. A unique dispenser holds DecapiCones open and ready for use. Simply hold the DecapiCone in one hand and introduce the animal with the other. Animals enter readily, heading for the breathing hole at the small end. Roll and squeeze the large end closed. They may be used repeatedly for injections and simply discarded when soiled. For decapitation, hold at the rear and insert the small end into the decapitator.
They come in quantities of 200, in handy pre-loaded dispensers.

You didn’t really ask for this, but here are some suggestions for YouTube content that is worthwhile:
- Fall of Civilizations - originally a podcast, these are long-format episodes that each focus on the history of a collapsed civilization. On YouTube they have added video of the ruins and the locations described in the podcast which really adds a lot to it.
- Folding Ideas - all of Dan Olson’s content is worth watching, but I particularly recommend “Line Goes Up” which digs into the culture around NFTs and cryptocurrency, “Tge Future is a Dead Mall” which looks at the metaverse/VR and the people who bought into it as the next big thing, and “In Search of a Flat Earth” which tries to understand the cultlike behavior of flat earthers. Dan basically does well-researched sociocultural analysis and the things he finds are fascinating.
- Technology Connections - Alec Watson gives in-depth descriptions on how various pieces of technology do (or don’t) work. I think the videos on pinball machines are particularly fun.
- Moon Channel - somewhat similar to Folding Ideas, Moony does sociocultural analysis, though in different topical areas. I highly recommend “Kawaii: Anime, Propaganda and Soft Power Politics”.
- Cody’s Lab - Cody does various scientific experiments, mostly focused on chemistry. He still tops my list of craziest things I’ve seen anyone do on YouTube - refining uranium from ore in his garage.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 days ago:
Twenty-two years later and still nothing really compares. I’ve played it through 5… 6?.. times and the characters still feel compelling.
I miss Westwood… everyone that came after only imitated their work, and while some have made improvements to the gameplay, none have really accomplished the same level of storytelling in the RTS genre.
Kind of a perfect game, one that keeps you coming back again and again.

FYI, this won’t shock anybody, the piercing bar will just get real hot, as will the battery in your hand as you’ve just short-circuited it.

A SCOTUS ruling could potentially make the outcome worse, widen the scope and enshrine it as a national precedent.

- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 5 days ago:
I remain very skeptical about this.
It would not surprise me in the least to find out that “disabling” Recall only disables the user-facing aspects of it, but that the data collection still happens in the background regardless.

Windows 11 is hardly an upgrade.

Lazard - Levelized Cost of Energy
This is an industry study that gets published every year by Lazard, for the past 18 years. It is focused on the US market. They put in a lot of effort to assess the whole cost of various forms of energy generation, including government subsidies.

Sure, but you don’t need an LLM for that. That’s like using a bazooka to kill a housefly.

There was trust?

Easy, you just subtract a higher voltage from a lower voltage. Thats just maths.
Alternatively, just swap the red and black probes on your multimeter, and now your positive voltage is negative.
Or, just twist that knob on your oscope.

Obviously the solution is to have thousands of nodes per file transfer to increase the bandwidth.
This is a perfect plan which has absolutely no downsides.

- Comment on How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life? 2 weeks ago:
Don’t waste your time on jealousy;
Sometimes you’re ahead,
Sometimes you’re behind.
The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.[…]
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives,
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. - Comment on Sony Sues Tencent Over Horizon Lookalike 2 weeks ago:
Yeah this seems like a smoking gun of intent to reproduce the IP. Hard to claim it was done in ignorance if Sony has documentation on this licencisng pitch.
- Comment on Sony Sues Tencent Over Horizon Lookalike 2 weeks ago:
SIE further alleged that Tencent came to the company with a pitch to license the Horizon IP, to which SIE declined.
This seems very relevant to the lawsuit.
What did they do, decide to develop a Horizon game in-house, then ask for permission retroactively, and then release it anyway when Sony didn’t agree?
