Jfc the lollipops are the first thing that comes to mind

Hey I can check off at least one thing from that list

I can’t even grow plants on purpose, I managed to kill one of those mini cactuses that you’re not supposed to water very often. I literally forgot about it and it dried out entirely into a husk. But the plants outside that I don’t even care about? Those things are all growing like weeds and they’re annoying

Maybe we behave differently when observed because some of the electrons within us are being observed

Generally I start with an end goal, and break it down into logical pieces. For instance I recently wanted to make a custom soundboard for discord. First thing I needed to figure out was how to play sounds. Next was playing those sounds to a specific sound device so that it can be routed into the audio input for discord. Then I needed to figure out how to play the same sound at the same time through the audio output. Then I needed a form to interact with so I could click a button to play a sound. Then I needed to be able to load a config file so that I could update that form when I wanted to add or delete sounds. Then I needed a way to choose files to add to the sound board. And conversely a context menu so I could right click a button to remove it. Then I needed to figure out how to save and load this config file from the filesystem. Then I needed to be able to search for and update the form so I could now quickly find sounds if the list got too long. And then once I had all that working, figure out how to play the same sound multiple times before it finished resulting in a multi threaded soundboard that can interact with any sound device on the machine and saves and loads sound lists all in Python.

This happened to me when I used to trim the nail too short. That let the nail dig into the skin and caused all the issues. After letting it grow out long enough that the nail wasn’t able to dig into the skin did the problem go away. It’s a little weird looking having longer big toe nails but it beats the pain of accidentally stubbing your toe and living in agony.

Having used their software in the past, I’m personally quite uncomfortable with this technology being used to monitor American citizens.

YouTube has a subscriptions feed that shows videos only from channels you follow.

I’ve found that turning the watch history off results in more accurate and relevant recommended videos from videos you watch from your subscribed channels.

When the recommended videos suddenly go off kilter, it’s telling that the video you’re watching is somehow related to the weird side of YouTube.

Love your username 🐍🐓🪿😂

If instance owners do not want to vet their users behavior if other instances speak up, the instance that is misbehaving gets defederated from the rest. That’s the power of federated services.

Ooo thank you, I’m definitely out of date by now

Quantum entanglement/teleportation does not mean information transmission exceeds the speed of light. You’re still limited to sending entangled particles to your destination following the laws of physics. You cannot transmit information via this phenomenon.

What you can use this for is transmission integrity. Where you will know if an outside observer intercepted your transmission then sent it on its way to the destination. This is more commonly known as a man in the middle attack (MitM).

Lists nearly a dozen items 🤣

The iron in blood is in hemoglobin, the stuff you need to exchange oxygen. Suddenly ripping all of that out wouldn’t necessarily cause a lot of physical trauma. But the person will now immediately asphyxiate while feeling everything as they struggle to breath with no relief.

My head can’t help but think of this while reading this comic

I truly wish we had more politicians that behave in this manner. It should never boil down to my political party versus yours. There shouldn’t be any sides to governing this country.

I know they’re harmless and help with pests. But they got away too many legs and move just as fast for me to be comfortable with them. I’ll take cute little jumping spiders webbing things any day over these.
