Kieth is still preferable to some of the other mascots out there. Looking at you Sudo Sandwich -

I’ve got a degerative disease called Anklyosing Spondylitis, bit of a tongue twister but also my pelvis is splintering due to arthritus associated with the condition so very painful. I find dicofenac works pretty well for flare ups but sometimes I’ll switch over to booze if I’m going out since that works better. NB: I don’t mix booze with the NSAID if I can avoid it, might just intersect at the tail end.

Opiates work better for the pain too but that’s a whole other can of worms I try to avoid opening.

There was an excellent text based RPG called Roadwarden that came out the other year. It’s just text and illustrations so thought I’d use this post to mention it.

If small amounts of animation are allowed then WORLD OF HORROR was decent too.

This was actually a Victorian parody question they invented to make fun of medieval philosophers. Nowadays we think Thomas Aquinas, etc. were making quite sophisticated points, albeit within the boundaries of the religious society of the time.

Not what I was expecting from thumbnail and title lol

So Americans eat Scottish cuisine sans haggis?

I suspect the story in the tweet is fake so probably don’t need to worry about the wellbeing of this hypothetical teacher.

No, the average person struggles with WYSIWYG editors

I find it a little bit useful to supplement a search engine at work as a dev but it can’t write code properly yet.

Might be a side effect of being raised by an oncologist

Cancer is an umbrella term for a huge variety of diseases and once you reach a certain age you’re likely to have at least one of them. It’s just not worth treating if you are in your 80s/90s.

I kind of think the “fuck cancer” online discourse is a bit misguided since it’s the price we pay to have regenerating cells.

We need to be able to express 0 and 1 as integers so that functionality is just being overloaded to express another concept.

Wait until the person who made this meme finds out about how many bits are being wasted on modern CPU architectures. 7 is the minimum possible wasted bits but it would be 31 on every modern computer (even 64b machines since they default to 32b ints).

I wish people didn’t hyperfixate on labels so much these days. I feel like it causes more problems than it solves in terms of creating an identity someone needs to stick to instead of letting people just be themselves.

I live near a big public park and it would be strange if there wasn’t someone juggling there on a sunny day.

We don’t have the draft for team sports in the rest of the world and it creates these megateams of galactico superstars. There is also relegation in European football/rugby so teams can push into the upper echelons if they are extremely lucky in terms of getting amazing performances out of nominally mid players.

Amazon warehouse worker cages (so called “wagie cages”) got approved so idk if morality is a limiting factor

If I find out then I’ll 100% be making it my ringtone to see which of my friends/colleagues react

Yeah if I were being charitable I might imagine they aren’t on the list because they are already subject to extremely high tarrifs and embargoes. Maybe increased those tarrifs could be a bargaining chip in ending the Ukraine invasion. Impossible to tell with Trump though.

Visiting Amsterdam as a Brit does typically make me feel ashamed of my fellow countrymen though.

There is also an idea in philosophy of science called “pessimistic meta induction”. Basically the concept is that science is a continually evolving process where we get increasingly accurate understanding about how things work. However since science progresses by falsifying previously held beliefs we can speculate that all of our current scientific theories are technically false.
