meteotsunami,

Your definition of the meter leaves out the most interesting part. Yes, it was 1,000, 000th the distance of the equator to the North Pole, but how far is that? That wasn’t known accurately in the 18th Century. So, two Frenchmen, Delambre and Mechain conducted the longest meridian survey every attempted. They also did so while half of Europe was at war with one another. It was an amazingly dangerous endeavor. There is also significant evidence they totally flubbed and hand-waived their results. So, although their science ended up being questioned, the process and method was accepted and the Meter was defined.

meteotsunami,

Seems like you could use a kick start for something different. Let me suggest Alabama White Sauce. Tangy, a little heat, and some lip sweat.

Alabama White BBQ Sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Salt

meteotsunami,

It would take away a lot of the zing… But it’s cooking, you do you!

meteotsunami,

Well, you could have bought the 3DO like me. Three times more expensive, infinitely worse games. Although Gex was a pretty great platformer.

meteotsunami,

Pop is my new go to distro. Even without their own DE, the tweaks to gnome are really well considered and I don’t spend an hour unfucking the default environment.

meteotsunami,

Wow, so paternity determined by DNA is insufficient to determine a child isn’t a man’s progeny in Sweden? Further, there is no recourse in the event of the wife’s infidelity without the actual father stepping up? That feels like an unjust trap.

Towards your actual question, in the US it’s not automatic. Child support is almost always a consideration for adjudicating divorce if minor children are present. Unwed mothers would have to seek support through the courts if the father refuses.

Does bring up the question of paternal rights in cases where the man does not want a child. He can’t have an abortion like the woman if she doesn’t want the pregnancy. Definitely a hard thing to balance and be just in all cases.

meteotsunami,

Oh, right. So assuming divorce is the second outcome of the pregnancy the man isn’t on the hook for someone else’s child? That’s definitely the reasonable take.

meteotsunami,

Which was the style at the time…

Get it right, Philistine :p

What would Twitter look like with an absolute number of Likes in the system?

What would Twitter look like, if Elon flushed all likes, throws x Likes in the sytem and gave it a go? Every Like has to taken from the system and there are positive and negative points just like here or Reddit. If you don’t have Likes anymore you have to dislike something else you liked in the past. It would be entertaining...

meteotsunami,

Social media is supposed to be the digital commons. Without a dislike button, then the media cannot be a commons. You go to the town square and start spouting offensive bullshit you’re going to get the proverbial rotten tomatoes thrown at you, mockery, and getting shunned.

With only having a like button, Twitter amplifies the message of bad actors and encourages rage responses. That’s the point though isn’t it? Engagement metrics to sell rage at a discount instead of the whole normal population buying a post with dislikes and moving on.

meteotsunami,

Correct, I got my account invite from The Screensavers show with Kevin Rose. They were giving them out randomly to viewers.

2016 Twitter screenshots

I snorted audibly on that one.

meteotsunami,

Wow. I want that so bad. And the fact you use Dukes tells me you are a chef of refined taste. I need to stop by my butcher and see if he has chicken skins, I never stopped to consider what they do with those to sell the abomination of skinless, boneless breasts.

meteotsunami,

And that’s when you really get good at breaking shit.

On Boost for Reddit my home feed is only subreddits I’ve subscribed to. On the desktop and official app, it’s that new bastardized version of my subscribed subreddits and all.

I could save searches, I felt like it allowed me to view Reddit the way I wanted to view it. I don’t want to see half of the meme lords on all in my home feed.

Although disappointing, not entirely unexpected. Assaulting and defending are two different things and without air or artillery superiority, the assault phase is even more difficult. So these lads are pressing in on well prepared defensive lines without a ton of battle space preparation. Hopefully, they can perform well enough, and violently enough to overcome the typical 3:1 requirement for beaching and destroying fortified positions.
