Wilzax,

This is more internet funeral than internet funeral has been lately

Wilzax,

The only function is sine, the rest are just remixes and ratios

Wilzax,

Sin(x-π/2)

Wilzax,

I was at house eating dorito when phone ring

Wilzax,

Would like to throw in Atomic Frontier, he makes on-location video essays about random science and engineering topics that are edited with great supporting infographics

Wilzax,

You pour the cereal into the milk bag 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Wilzax,

The title text in papyrus was pretty impactful

None of the rest of the film was though

Wilzax,

I agree, but remember that the last step is to discontinue ActivityPub integration so people will move from mastodon over to threads to keep up with the content they got on mastodon from threads

Wilzax,

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that “big black box where I expect potentially identifying information to be” means “censored for privacy”

Wilzax,

You’re welcome! Glad I could help you reach the top of the bell curve

Wilzax,

This implies that rigatoni is sushi while California rolls are not. Interesting

Wilzax,

We also haven’t worked out empty stuff. Dark energy makes no sense

Wilzax,

I get paid biweekly, which means the same as semiweekly here

Wilzax,

Easy! It’s because now a religious group that has historically been the target of unjust discrimination and genocide, are now the ones doing the genociding! The difference is you have to be more delicate in your criticisms

Wilzax,

Hens I raise in my backyard coop and slaughter humanely when they stop laying? You’re telling me they suffer?

Wilzax,
  1. This argument could be made to promote eugenics in humans, so I’m dismissing it outright.
  2. The chicks were purchased before they were sexed, the roosters were slaughtered for meat much younger than the hens but not in a factory.
  3. Of course I don’t give them medical aid like I would with a human child. They are put out of their suffering when their usefulness ends, just as we do with all other animals. It just so happens that animals we keep as pets are useful for emotional reasons, which continues even in sickness.
  4. I would happily die by beheading as a form of euthanasia, as the blood loss causes near instant shock and rapid loss of consciousness. If my brain could be destroyed in the process, I would prefer that even more. Both are preferable to slowly succumbing to a painful illness, as long as I have my affairs in order. Chickens don’t have affairs to worry about.The only reason we don’t do that with assisted suicides in humans is because of the mess it makes.
Wilzax,

It doesn’t cause suffering to end a life unless that life is aware of its fate and becomes stressed out, or if that death leaves behind loved ones to grieve. Chickens don’t grieve.

Wilzax,

If the giant that never harmed me for my entire life, and always provided me with the sustenance and shelter I need to live one day killed me before I knew what was happening, I would have a pain-free death, yes.

You’re right that they suffer. All complex beings suffer in all environments. The amount they suffer is acceptable, and their lives are short but lavish compared to what they would live in the wild, or compared to never existing at all.

Living things are just that, things. Biochemical machines that exist to transform available resources into more copies of their genome. If they show no indication of sentience, then their lives are not worth anything in their own right. You don’t need to pretend I’m sanitizing anything.

Wilzax,

No. Torture deliberately inflicts pain without providing any benefit. It is only suitable for use against sentient creatures who understand that compliance message the torture will stop. To do that to something that just thinks you’re killing it and can’t understand why is basically the definition of animal abuse. Non-sentience doesn’t make animal abuse okay, it only makes swift and painless killings of those animals okay.

But I’m just rehashing what I’ve already said. You’re trying to put words in my mouth. Like it or not, existing as livestock is not torture, and consuming the products of those livestock is not unethical. You just want to have someone to think less of and you choose to pretend that meat eaters are just as bad as murderers so you can place yourself as morally and ethically superior to them. Because at the end of the day, you care more about your ego than whether your campaigns actually reduce suffering of real animals that are actually being tortured in factory farms.

Wilzax,

Perfectly ripe cherries, pitted and frozen

Wilzax,

Kirby air ride, but more popularly in the Super Smash Bros series since Brawl

Wilzax,

Dave Chappelle is the kind of person who will tell jokes at your expense and turn around and fight for your right to exist, despite the content of his jokes. I’m really confused about what the disconnect is in his mind about trans people that makes him do the exact opposite for them. His kicker in his opening monologue for SNL after election night 2016 was that he sides with the “historically disenfranchised” in demanding Trump (and by proxy the entire government) give them a chance. Why does he not include the trans community in that statement of solidarity?

Wilzax,

Orphan crushing machine slowed 55%, hooray!

Wilzax,

Also, “gi” in english makes the hard g sound very often, like in gift, or give, or giddy. You need to do some real mental gymnastics to justify it as a j sound

Wilzax,

I’m not taking about gy or ge, I’m talking about gi

Wilzax,

Nothing is a phone manufacturer.

Wilzax,

Good thing it’s only deleting your account if it’s a new account that you didn’t finish the registration process for

Wilzax,

US is normal

UK is fancy

Aussie is wildcard

Wilzax,

pronouncing it as “yiff”

Wilzax,

… Russia isn’t a member of NATO

Wilzax,

webp isn’t fine, it has a ton of vulnerabilities because it’s not a safe file format. It gets to do too much and it’s insecure for that reason. That’s why you can’t upload your own webp but conversion to it is fine

Wilzax,

You’ve stumbled across the answer in your own question. The hand choice is arbitrary, and the direction is a binary choice between the galactic plane looking clockwise or counterclockwise. So you’ll get an even mix of upside-down and upside-up ships when you choose that normal direction arbitrarily.

Wilzax,

for an unsigned int, do

(myNum & 1) == 0;

Wilzax,

Wait until you hear about dem, den, des, dessen, deren, denen

Wilzax,

You dropped this ñ

Wilzax,

Other than the upper peninsula lol

Wilzax,

You could always just reinstall from a usb boot drive lol

Wilzax,

After 3 years it would be worth no more than 40k and that’s IF it had next to no mileage simply because the warranty on it would have so little time left

Wilzax, (edited )

Per kilogram-meter of cargo transported, container ships actually have some of the lowest emissions of any form of transportation!*

Other than electric vehicles that were charged by zero-emission sources of electricity

Wilzax,

Good point, I wasn’t considering production.

Wilzax,

Water freezes at 0c and boils at 100c. Water freezes at 32 f and 212 f. 10% hot for water happens at ((212-32).1)+32 f, or 50 f. Not bad weather for shorts if you’re exercising. 30% hot for water happens at ((212-32).3)+32 f, or 86 f. Not too hot for a light jacket if the UV index is high

This is how my brain operates
