The choices are always “accept” and “maybe later”

Depends on your goal. If you want maximum sound attenuation, you can’t really beat cheap foamies, which are rated up to about 40 dB. If only about 20 dB is good enough for your needs and you want the comfort, custom molded ear plugs are great.

Genocide. Genocide. The fucking word is genocide. Fine reporting I guess but if the publication is going to directly allude to camps, they might as well use the goddamn correct term.

For directories, it’s permission to cd into it. Read is whether you can list files, and write is remove, rename, or create new files. Don’t ask questions about the secret sticky bit

Sonars are not just a little “ping” noise underwater. They can carry enough energy to kill. It’s not subtle.

God, so good to see some good news

This. So tired of “reporting” that might as well be science fiction. Write an article when they have a fucking working prototype.

I’m a Rutherford who likes to think he’s a Mariner

The apocalyptic shitstain author that the most bigoted in a crew of council bigots admires has this idea:

…in summary: the Stonewall riots of 1969 which launched the modern gay-rights movement opened the floodgates to another realm, from which ancient pagan deities returned to Earth, including the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, who is resentful at being marginalized for thousands of years and hungry to return the favour against Christianity.

Once again making the LGBTQIA+ world really badass and appealing

Thank you, soldier, for sparing me wasting time on crypto bullshit.

Good they are being sued, but slavers should be executed.

Text of the story for people with non-superhuman vision:

‘It was about the third season. They finished my makeup around 7. I was going over to Stage 16 where we shot the cave scenes. I walked down the long alley between the stages. As I turned the corner I could see way up the other end of the alley another person walking towards me. It was just sunrise. We got closer and closer. Were about 10 feet from each other, and I realized it’s Robin Williams, who was on the lot doing The Birdcage. He sees me and goes, ‘Oh my God, Mr Neelix!’ Then he does this whole routine about what it’s like to be a chef in outer space. The eggs are floating, the pancakes are getting too big!’ a Robin Williams shtick. I had a private performance for like a minute and it was really funny. Then he came up, gave me a big hug and said, 'I love your character, sir.’ Such a sweet, sweet man, I’ll never forget that.

Little tip, since it’s an Electron app, you can reload the view with ctrl-R (cmd-R) on Mac. Saves you a trip to re-open, usually.

The basic measure is “accuracy”: the percentage of moves that are the best move for that position. Computers are, as you would expect, inhumanly good on this measure. Better than the best human players, who will have “inaccuracies” even in their best-played games. It makes spotting cheaters pretty reliable and easy. Niemann has been busted for cheating online repeatedly, and analysis of his in-person play bears the same hallmarks.

Seriously. Who didn’t notice he’s garbage?

They specifically don’t want good sex educate, because that teaches about consent, instead of ownership

A Serbian Film

Tech. Workers. Need. Unions.

Interesting that it’s the kids’ shows that have been killing it on representation for years now. She-Ra, The Owl House, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, and more. And The Legend of Korra walked so they could run.
