- Comment on Shitposting as public pedagogy 2 months ago:
“Building on this literature, I propose a definition of shitposting that embodies four distinct elements: a reliance on absurdity or “meaninglessness,” the critique or disruption of online discourses, the employment of an “internet ugly” aesthetic, and the use of meta-languaging”
Good lord, it took them forever to spit out a coherent definition!
Does this paper itself represent a form of academic shitposting? I mean, the subject is sound but the convoluted and discursive presentation is maddening.
But, yes, shitposting is worthy of significant further study and all grant applications in that area should be automatically approved.

Meanwhile, in Utah, a pair of new parents are becoming really charmed by the idea of ‘Brexit’ as a name for their next child.
This has all happened before and it will all happen again.

It’s a sick pun on top of a technique that is also fsckin sick. Read it only if economical spatial imaging of gene expression in a whole tissue section series slightly arouses you.

You live for these opportunities. The pay stinks, your parents don’t understand what you do for a ‘living’, but you got a sick pun in a Nature Group™️ publication.
Sweet.

This is a proven fact. Expose yourself early and often, that’s my motto.

Very much worth the watch! It’s a really interesting carbon capture technology, too.
- Comment on EVs are one step closer to becoming roaming grid batteries 7 months ago:
Here’s one scenario: Go to work with a partial charge, charge during the day using excess solar production when electricity is super cheap, drive home fully charged, sell some power to the grid during peak donestic use hours, keep enough to safely get back to work, repeat.
- Comment on 1000 Blank Cards experiences sought 8 months ago:
I’m going to try to revive a dead post by commenting on my own experiences playing. Based on the upvotes, others seem interested too. Let’s see if it works
I had a good crew of friends while in grad school in the 00’s. This was a super smart crew of bio-nerds so when I heard about this game on Slashdot (or maybe Memepool, can’t be sure) I knew I had the right crowd to try it.
It was a successful session and we developed a lot of those inside jokes that tight social groups do.
I tried again years later with another set of friends and it fell flat. Not a disaster but it was quickly abandoned for lack of general interest. This was also a crowd of high-wattage personalities so i still wonder what the difference was.
That’s what prompted my question. Just seeking scene setting tips that might increase the chance the game goes well again.

Oh yes it is a symptom of a deep cultural malaise. I was talking to my square-headed girlfriend a iut this just the other day. She agrees with me and that’s all I need.

It’s dose dependent not just time dependent. LED uv-c emitters can pump a huge dose onto a surface from a short distance such as this device does.
This recent study showed viral inactivation using such shorter time frames.

As I recall when I lived near Shizuoka, Osaka had a reputation for going their own way. The main difference I remember is getting off the train and everyone walked to the other side than typically done elsewhere. I would have liked more time in Osaka, it seemed more vibrant and open in some ways.

Boise, Idaho hosts a sizable Basque population and features a couple of nice restaurants that feature their cuisine. Basque have traditionally been sheep-herders and some still work in herding professions.

There were likely some Mormons and definitely some fellow Freemasons in the angry mob that killed Joseph Smith. He was in way too deep to just walk away, even if his brand of narcissism would have allowed him to contemplate that.
- Comment on AirTag 2 not expected until 2025 as Apple sits on backlog of first-gen inventory 9 months ago:
Yes, vastly better on the average compared to PC makers and other phone makers. Having worked at an Apple Store once upon a time, we were happy to help the technically-savvy keep ancient stuff working if they had a need, but no way would we take the time to help a typical tech-phobe granny get one last year out of unsupported hardware. Granny gets a new mac that ‘just works’! It’s just basic business, a different solution might work better for different customers.
