IAEA an 'instrument for Israel,' secret documents seized by Iran reveal

Jump

  • “Release the hotdogs” they cry while furiously dismantling the furniture in your living room.

    • For those who play games using a controller, do you use your middle and index fingers to use the triggers or just your index fingers?

    Jump

  • Just index fingers. And this actually means I hurt my second joint on the middle finger as it rubs where I tuck it under the controller. But I can’t unlearn this position now. I have a kind of callous there which is really painful - ordered a new controller but it made it worse so now I’m trying a super small controller instead.

    • Any ways to make money as a teen on the internet

    Jump

  • What are you even vaguely good at or inspired to learn? You can sell online work on sites like fiverr - from singing for electronic musicians to use in their tracks to web design to drawing pictures, even composing chatGPT or midjourney prompts.

    Don’t be afraid to fail. Take that first step and build on it to make a business out of it. The customers can be anywhere and if your work can be easily sold multiple times you stop exchanging your time for money and it has real profit potential.

    • If you've ever interacted with someone who speaks a different language, what is the funniest misunderstanding you've had?

    Jump

  • The word spiel “schpiel” is of Yiddish origin. It comes from the Yiddish word shpil (שפּיל), which means “play” or “game” same as German.

    • What's the longest time you've spent away from your loved ones?

    Jump

  • Eight years. Moved away to another continent, they didn’t visit me and I was busy exploring my new life. See them once a year these days.

    • Proof that humans can get used to pretty much anything

    Jump

  • Problem solving in dreams can be hyper efficient. I once designed an entire web application in the short dreamstate between waking up to my alarm and the second ‘snooze’ alarm. Drew up the solution immediately and then went to work and built it over the course of a month. Mastering that would be so powerful for knowledge workers and artists alike.

    I’ve tried the same with music but, while I can create music in my dreams I cannot yet recreate it awake.

  • The more fantastical elements of lucid dreams are as clearly unreal as playing a videogame. You know you’re dreaming and can control it.

    My problem has been more that I can’t remember if something mundane happened in a dream or reality. I’ve had and remembered entire conversations which turned out to be dreams when I referenced them to the person in question.

    A lot of my dreams - lucid or not - are just me doing my daily stuff, fully in control of my actions but not the scenario I am in.

    • Some disaster has befallen society: you have to secure a month of food for you and three other people. How do you do it?

    Jump

  • Enslave the other three to build a farm and then eat them and wait for the greens to grow.

    • The American mind cannot comprehend this

  • First time Dresden got called a fancy neighbourhood since 1945

    • What's a seemingly harmless habit of yours that you struggle to break?

    Jump

  • Sounds awful. Do you know what causes it? Otherwise this might not be in your control. Worth seeing a holistic therapist to find the root cause and hopefully feel better.

    • What's a seemingly harmless habit of yours that you struggle to break?

    Jump

  • Same. I will potter around until 5 or 6 am and then hate myself as I have a meeting in the morning that I will either need to drag myself out of bed for or sleep until lunchtime and lose half the productive day.

    • Call of Duty MW3 faces dramatic Steam drop-off from MW2 launch

    Jump

  • DMZ in the last iteration of CoD was the most fun game that I’ve played in a long time - despite the bugs.

    Zombies mode in MW3 is also good fun but it irks that I paid money for this game and it’s buggier than DMZ which it’s evidently based on, and they’ve had a year to fix it.

    • What game do you play to just chill?

    Jump

  • Forza and Rocket League

    • Zelensky refuses to hold elections in wartime Ukraine

    Jump

  • Most of my Ukranian friends would not vote for him in an election, it’s a bit of an ‘open secret’ in the country that he’s seen as a wartime leader who would be expected to step aside in peacetime.
