Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

Jump

  • We, the gamers, the geeks, the golems

    What does 'golem' mean in this context?

    • Magic π

    Jump

  • The width of a hydrogen atom is 3.1*10^24 Planck lengths. So, yeah, 65 digits of pi ought to do it.

    • anicent chinese wisdom is sometimes flawed

    Jump

  • So is that a transcription error on my part, or is the original image nonsense?

    • anicent chinese wisdom is sometimes flawed

    Jump

  • The image is pretty blurry, but I'm seeing:

    窗户己限位请勿高空抛物

    Which Google translate renders as "The windows are limited. Please do not throw objects at high altitudes." Which still seems kind of mangled, but at least resembles something potentially reasonable.

    Maybe someone who actually speaks the language will show up to help us out.

    • Florida approved rules that prohibit diversity, equity and inclusion spending and remove sociology from general education at community and state colleges

    Jump

  • Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters.
    This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality).

    -Umberto Eco, Eternal Fascism

    • So anyway, I'm radicalized, rule

    Jump

  • More like kil'm, amirite?

    • What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I would trust modern Bethesda to remake Morrowind.

    • Which proteins contain the most microplastics? A study of more than a dozen kinds of protein, including beef, tofu and breaded shrimp, found microplastics in nearly 90 percent of the tested samples

    Jump

  • Tofu is not exactly unprocessed.

    Also is "minimally processed" more or less processed than "fresh caught"? I would assume more, but both pollack and Key West shrimp have the minimally processed version below the fresh caught version on this graph. (While White Gulf shrimp is the other way around and a much wider spread.)

    • bananan rule

    Jump

  • He's not even comparable.

    • Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives.

    Jump

  • The original Battlestar Galactica.

    • If sex workers wearing Canadian Forces uniforms are being threatened with charges, what should happen to this guy?

    Jump

  • We have the best moose in the world. Because of jail.

    • WD-40 and some tape are the only tools you need in this life.

    Jump

  • I'm pretty fond of "unscheduled lithobraking" (it crashed).

    • TIL most ancient texts were read out loud and it was strange if someone read to themself

    Jump

  • With regard to the Homeric epics (The Iliad opens similarly), it should probably be noted that they didn't originate as written works, nor did Homer compose them; he recorded an existing oral tradition.

    • Stephen Fry wants King's Guard to ditch bear fur

    Jump

  • how do you think they hunted bears?

    I'm a little surprised by the crossbows. My guess would have been rifles.

    • OH-IO-RU-LE

    Jump

  • They tried making that, but it turns out that the post-apocalyptic wasteland version of Ohio is indistinguishable from regular Ohio.

    • mentally unbalanced behaviour

    Jump

  • Why did you build a death ray?

    To take over the world.

    No, I mean, what mad hypothesis are you testing? Are you just making mad observations?

    Look, I'm just trying to take over the world. That's all.

    You're at least going to leave some of the world as a mad control group, right?

    Sad fact: most "mad scientists" are actually mad engineers.

    (Borrowed from a Cowbirds in Love strip which at the time of this writing is inaccessible.)

    • Pierre Poilievre has claimed on four separate occasions that electricians are capturing “lightning from the sky”

    Jump

    • Have some stew

    Jump

    • Archaeopteryx 🐦

    Jump

  • Hadn't learned to walk without rhythm yet.

    • sinner(ule)

    Jump

  • Is that really premarital, though? Sounds extra post-marital to me.
