cadekat,

Why would anyone want their diplomacy interrupted, even as the one being affected? It’s not like diplomacy is some evil spell. A successful diplomacy check means you were able to have small talk, relate, and do all the normal things strangers do to put each other at ease. You don’t “defend” against diplomacy!

Imagine trying to agree on a treaty with some jester interrupting every 54 seconds…

Should’ve been, “It was a mistake, in Heinzsight.”

Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot expands to something like /home/username/boot.

/boot is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot is a directory in your home folder.

That said, there are cases of players noticing emergent behaviour in games! For example: twitter.com/JoelBurgess/…/1428008041887281157

I’m upvoting you, but I’m not happy about it.

The Nox and Tollan were way more Prime Directive than the Asgard.

How likely is it that your home and work are 20 minutes away from train stations because your region prioritizes cars?

Cat Lovers Rejoice As New Medicine Will Extend Cat Lifespan To 30 Years (www.boredpanda.com)

there is a silent threat that affects kitties – chronic kidney disease. It is a complex and irreversible ailment that typically manifests at around 10 years old in cats, affecting an astounding 1 in 3 felines. As cats age, they gradually lose their kidney function, which significantly compromises their quality of life....

The real interesting debate is between ((f) 1) and f()(1).

cadekat,

It used to be AGPL, now it’s SSPL.

Landlords do provide services: property maintenance and not having to worry about selling the place when you leave. Are landlords paid way too much for these services? Hell yes. That’s more an issue of inadequate supply though, in my opinion.

Similarly, ticket scalpers provide a service, but not to concert goers. Scalpers absorb risk on behalf of the venue/performer. That’s why venues, who could absolutely shut down scalpers, don’t. Still scummy as hell, but don’t absolve the venue of guilt too.

cadekat,

If there were more available units, you could leave and go to one with better maintenance. There’d be actual competition between landlords to keep tenants.

Not ideal, obviously, since moving is a pretty big life event. I’m not saying increasing supply is the solution to every problem with landlords. Being allowed to withhold partial rent if common elements are broken would probably be a better solution in this particular instance.

    Sexist is probably the second word I’d use for Ferengi, after greedy.

    Stripped a rhino from an old box of minis and I’m attempting (poorly) to do it up in Blood Raven colours.

    cadekat,

    The red is coming out alright so far; I kinda like the variation in colour. What orange would you recommend? I have wild rider red and fire dragon bright on hand.

    I’m mostly disappointed with the sepia over wraithbone. Just came out so uneven :(

    cadekat,

    Sounds like you need a sleep timer of 30 minutes

    cadekat,

    I meant a timer on your TV to turn itself off, so you don’t get woken up by the end credits

    cadekat,

    Hits close to home.

    A VPN does this, but for your internet connection:

    It takes a lot of money, planning, and technical know-how to build a nuclear power plant, especially a safe one. It isn’t like a new nuclear company can just pop into existence, and start offering reactors for sale.

    Traditional nuclear reactors are, therefore, a technology that requires a lot of centralization to implement. Only nation-states and huge corporations can assemble the resources to construct them.

    Compare that to wind or hydro-electric power. You can build a generator with some wire and magnets yourself, so you could call them more decentralized.

    This might be changing with modular reactors, I don’t know.

    cadekat,

    Won’t that lead to some horrible hug-of-death type scenarios if a post from a small instance gets popular on a huge one?

    cadekat,

    If you’re only responsible for caching for your own users, you don’t unduly burden smaller instances.

    cadekat,

    Caching only if some number of your own users upvote might work.

    cadekat,

    Germany has been anti-nuclear for some time, unfortunately. That could be what the above poster was referring to?

    cadekat,

    While I do agree the vaccines are safe enough, saying “mRNA which we all have in our bodies all the time” is a bit misleading. The number of ways an mRNA strand could mess you up is astronomical.

    cadekat,

    Every single cell in our bodies contains mRNA at all times.

    That’s like saying computer viruses are fine because they’re made of code, which computers are already full of.

    We’re full of mRNA, sure, but we’re full of mRNA that’s supposed to be there.

    What are these ways that mRNA could mess you up of which you speak?

    I’m no biologist, but perhaps mRNA that creates a prion?

    cadekat,

    I am not calling into question the safety of these vaccines. They are safe.

    I’m pointing out that just because something is a salt doesn’t make it safe (see Sodium Cyanide), and just because a compound is mRNA doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous.

    If you base your assessment of the safety of a drug on the premises you laid out instead of on controlled studies, you’re no better than anti-vaxxers.

    cadekat,

    How was I supposed to know from your earlier comment that you weren’t literally saying “the COVID vaccine is safe because it’s made of things similar to stuff in our body”? 🤣

    cadekat,

    Been working on some Incursors for the last little while:

    What’s the better alternative to dracut? Normally I compile everything into the kernel, but have been having issues with my Intel firmware and need an initramfs.

    cadekat,

    Eventually “passing the cost on to consumers” increases the price so much that the deceptive printers cost more than legitimate ones.

    cadekat,

    Eh, beamer is more than enough for most presentations. If your slideshow needs to be that flashy, you probably need more substance.

    git puts track changes to shame.

    You’re absolutely right about compatibility though.

    cadekat,

    Why not .tar.xz?

    cadekat,

    It’s common when you “wrap” one file type inside another. Like .tar combines multiple files into one, then .gz compresses a single file.

    You also see it with PGP (encryption).

    The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation?

    I think the reason some people might believe this claim is because we’re taught in school that the moon’s gravity causes the tides. I think the reasoning goes, “well if the moon’s gravity can affect the tides, surely it can affect smaller things too”

    cadekat,

    I’m not so sure. Gravity only travels at the speed of light so mass outside of the observable universe hasn’t been able to affect us yet.

    cadekat,

    Say what you want about crypto in general, but it’d be an extremely bad choice for company scrip…

    cadekat,

    All true!

    You should consider transaction fees though: someone’s gotta pay 'em. “Run their own chain” you might say, but then just use a database. Don’t need crypto-economic security when you’re the issuer and primary retailer.

    That leads into having a public ledger. Great for public blockchains, but if you’re issuing company scrip, you probably don’t want outsiders auditing transactions.

    cadekat,

    Fire bans are pretty common around here!

    In the sense that a CD player learns new music when you insert a disc, yes.

    Иiagra?

    cadekat,

    Bloody hell, why did the designer print the new UI mockup?

    cadekat,

    Pft, only five hours… Try compiling Gnome on a Pentium Silver.
