Paris was the cultural shot in the arm I needed. All the stores in Australia only stock RBG biographies and diaspora navel-gazing with titles like "The Grapes My Mother Squeezed." …

Damn, I was expecting the "drought" to carry on indefinitely due to how strict ratings have become. As the article alludes to, a storm has to get lucky and hit something sturdy to …

The classic ideal of terrorism—an underground cell engaged in asymmetric warfare for concrete political gains—hasn't existed since what, the IRA? All "terrorism" in the US occurs w…

The bro science I've heard around this is that emulsifiers and fake sugars aren't easily digested, and therefore sit around in the GI tract as fuel for pathogens. My mind was kinda…

Conversely, I'd imagine that conservatives are more likely to "experience a crisis of faith" than their counterparts. And remote jungle tribes are more likely to be hexed by a witc…

It's 100% a problem of dynamic range for me. I dunno how 128 channel cinematic spectaculars are mixed down to stereo, but I wouldn't mind a little compression. Can home releases of…

How is Discord simultaneously a "centralized privacy nightmare" but also the platform of choice for every pedo and terrorist? Couldn't you just sweep 90% of them up with a little S…

A late reply, but thanks for sharing this. The names in the table of contents alone suggest that I'm in for a good read.

The donation I sent Ron Paul in 2008 has wound up being the most expensive $10 I've ever spent.

I am not particularly fond of jazz myself. I've logged way more plays of Incapacitants than Mr. Coltrane, but his name seems to come up every time I study harmony. These alternativ…

I could hardly believe it, but I've witnessed multiple men trying to navigate the mean streets over there in Hummer H2s. They were all driven by the Japanese equivalent of "Deano" …

Is that true? It seems like this was more of a complete non-issue in the last election, suddenly implemented once Labor secured power again. I'm not saying your hypothetical popula…

My wife suggested we go to a Latin mass in Paris, and we (in our 30s) were some of the oldest congregants there. Everyone was oddly handsome and there was lots of Barbour. The vibe…

Looks like the coolest KDE setup of 2005.

I'm under the impression that women's only spaces are very much frowned upon in the English speaking world, whether it be in sports, book awards, knitting circles, toilets, or pris…

Total fucking cunts. With any luck their proclivity for overly tight suits will prevent them from reproducing.

Thanks for this, a few Qs though 1. How does this compare to the MUNGG stack? 2. When can we expect compatibility with Curlew templates? 3. I get cryptic build errors when I add Se…

I don't know what you're writing, but this sounds like language smell. If you can represent errors as data instead of exceptions (Either, Result, etc) then it is easy to see what w…

> I would think that, if AI-generated content is inferior, these games will fail in the marketplace. You'd hope so, but I'm not so sure. Media developments are not merely additive,…
