Middle-aged nerd who is really bad at describing himself. I don't boost as often as I should, but when I do you'll know it's a good one.

Is it psychologically possible to walk past a friendly cat and not boop it?

4. Plant nutrient dispenser (a bunch of peristaltic pumps to measure out a specified dose) 5. A wifi-attached thermostat with a 4-colour e-paper display and simple, physical controls (I'm trying both a rotary encoder and a magnetic angle sensor with a "dumb" wheel that has a magnet embedded in it, I also considered doing something truly out there, like a retractable string that you pull out and attach to various hooks on the wall at regular intervals to indicate what temperature y...

If only Harley knew that the only thing she needs to win their trust is to keep wagging her tail and let them pounce without pouncing back. When she gets their attention, though, she gets nervous and stops wagging.

I think I've solved the problem with the kittens drinking out of my bedside table water: sparkling water. They took a sniff and then looked at it like it called their mother a dog. Then they retreated and sat staring at it for several minutes as if it might attack them if they looked away. 🤣🤣🤣

I find it hard sometime not to pronounce the word "Magician" as "Magic Ian." They're all named Ian, even though most of them will lie, it's all part of the illusion.

Yeah, sure I just spent like an hour writing a shell script to do some housekeeping while a game is running (repeatedly deprioritising the process and making it unlikely to get killed during low memory events) and, yes, over half of it was spent with the unnecessary fluff part that asks if you want to restart the game if it isn&#39;t running (like when it crashes).

Remember, no matter what the repercussions are for disobeying fascists, the reprcussions for capitulating to them will always be worse.

You can&#39;t just start a new war, you&#39;ve barely touched the one you already had.

At first glance, plutonium hexafluoride gas sounds like something you really don&#39;t want to be anywhere near. Like, holy shit, it sounds horrendous. Once you learn more about it, that remains the case. Your lungs aren&#39;t just being irradiated from the inside, they&#39;re also on fire.

Remember when they tried to reboot the Mummy with Tom Cruise for no discernible reason? That was weird, right?

Every now and then I&#39;m reminded of the guy who, when Trump was running the first time around, told me that, because he was rich, he couldn&#39;t possibly be corrupt or bribed. I wonder what that guy thinks now. How did he resolve the cognitive dissonance of being unequivocally, flat-out wrong?

I wonder if algorithmically generated music (not AI) is more compressible than normal, human-generated music.

Imagine how much scarier giant trees would be if they could get up and move and if they ate people.
