  • "Jesus, take the whe..."

    "NO."

  • Said anyone seeing that title.

  • So not even a mediocre car salesman. Surprising.

  • Another for In Deep Geek. All the ones I've seen listed here I've seen before I swear people in the their video comments often mention their soothing voice deliveries.

  • His Geo Detective bits are exactly what OP is looking for. No competition, just using his knowledge, skills, and luck to help people find things, usually from historical pictures of their loved ones.

  • Change posture, but also get up and move around. Take breaks away from the screen to let your eyes rest.

    Of course doing this can also mess up the flow of ideas sometimes. Nothing worse than coming back and trying to recapture the zone you were in.

  • It's not contradiction, you're talking about something different. I'm talking about First Past The Post elections vs. other systems that allow more than two parties to be competitive.

  • Good video on the problem with system we're stuck with (the only ones who can change it are the ones who benefit from it). Another interesting related video is this one about the history of parties and once again you see that while sometimes extra party movements pop up, they always get absorbed into one of the two big ones.

    It's math. Until we change how we elect, it will always be this way. And just like you mention changing the Democratic party from within, so do we have to change how we vote from the lower to the higher. Some states have started better systems, and the more than do, the more likely it can be worked into the federal level.

  • Or a boxcutter that won't go but so deep. Good ones even have a guide to let you cut around the edges in second for displaying purposes.

  • I don't know what the current standing is, but it was suggested that the domesticated wolves had genetic tendencies to form relationships with humans, i.e. trust them more than the rest of the species. That trait of obedience was the first step, rewarded by food and shelter, and spread by breeding the ones who would continue that characteristic of being trainable.

    Our dogs come from broken wolves.

  • You don't?

  • While I do think that it's simply bad at generating answers because that is all that's going on, generating the most likely next word that works a lot of the time but then can fail spectacularly...

    What if we've created AI but by training it with internet content, we're simply being trolled by the ultimate troll combination ever.

  • I fight the universe with the universe. I pull out a 20 sided die. 10 or under I pull the lever. I place all blame or credit upon what the die says.

  • My grandmother taught me that little rhyme along with the hand movements some 50 years ago. Never thought about it until I saw this.

    She would appreciate the hell out of this meme.

  • That kind of coding is also where we get future self into trouble. Revisiting coding and having to figure out what the hell they were trying to do. They were just vibing, man. To read the code again, you have to rediscover that vibe, which may not be possible.

  • That describes all the coding I've written for decades now...even a side thing for work to automate stuff. I'll be the first to admit I hack things until they work well enough and don't legit code. Obviously coding isn't my profession, that wouldn't last long.

  • If we had a working government, the 25th would have been invoked a few times ago. It's one thing to go along with Grandpa as he rattles of craziness, but when Grandpa has power to make those things happen, and when the ones around him are somehow seeing the demands as rational...what a screwed up family.
