Programmer here. Can confirm. Coding is just a list of instructions we send to the tiny people inside so they know what to do.

That's great! Means it won't update randomly without my permission anymore.

I'm pretty sure the average person wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between something like mint and windows.

Linux is as user-friendly as the user wants it to be.

I'm currently on my taxonomy obsession. Does anyone want to hear about how birds are actually reptiles?

There's a guaraná flavored soda in brazil called "Jesus", so this makes perfect sense to me.

Inside you there are two wolves.

I don't know how you're still alive, wtf. Go to a hospital.

Is there really no middle ground between "I don't give a fuck about them" and "Bomb the country" ?

You've led me on quite the rabbit hole of sex toy technology, kind stranger. Here are some of my finds:

• First, a simple bluetooth sex toy app: https://github.com/dreadhonk/ToyControl.git

• Connecting sex toys to several ero games: https://github.com/Sauceke/LoveMachine.git

• Connecting sex toys to your VRChat avatar: https://github.com/SutekhVRC/VibeCheck.git

• Transmitting Morse code via buttplug vibrations (For your chess cheating needs) : https://github.com/RonSijm/ButtFish.git

And my favorite:

• Connecting sex toys vibrations to kills in Team Fortress 2: https://github.com/fionafibration/team-frotress-2

As a bonus, i also learned the term Teledildonics, which is cool.

Windows 95

Windows 2000

Wait that's supposed to be for suggesting videos? When I first saw it I thought it was just for customizing the look of the feed and was very disappointed that it changed basically nothing.

I fail to see the issue

From the creators of "Just don't be sad", here comes: "Just relax"

Sounds like someone needs a bowl of blinding stew.

Depends on the elephant: (Extinct though)

There is no combination of ingredients a brazilian won't dare mix.

Americans will be whining about pineapple on pizza while Brazil is adding banana, chocolate, ribs and potato chips to it.

I'm honestly all for it, i hate this dumbass stigma people have over changing "traditional recipies". Fuck that, mix it up, throw shit at the all until it sticks, just make me something that tastes good.

Had? They still do! Birds are literally dinosaurs. Theropods to be precise. The same clade as the iconic T-Rex.

Okay, so the classic classification we all learned in school, that separates animals in Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species, was created by a guy called Linneaus.

Now, back in Linneaus' time, they didn't know about evolution, much less genetics, so he tried to classify animals based on the physical similarities he could see. All animals with scales in the same group (reptiles), all animals who lactate in the same group (mammals), all animals with feathers in the same group (birds), and so on and so forth.

Nowadays, though, we can use genetics to determine more precisely how related different species of animals are to eachother, and so comes a new classification, that puts animals that evolved from the same ancestor together in the same group. Which is the cladistic classification

Now a lot of animals did fit more or less with the linnean classification, but a lot of them don't. A lot of animals we thought were related are actually very distant genetically and only look similar due to convergent evolution, and a lot of the ones we thought had nothing to do with eachother turned out to be be really closely related.

Birds and reptiles are one such case. Both birds and the animals we more commonly consider as reptiles, are descended from the same ancestor and are currently considered part of the class Reptilia, which are all diapsids, meaning they have two openings on each side of the skull. Not only that, birds are descendants of a now extinct group of theropod dinosaurs called Archaeopteryx, which makes them living, breathing dinosaurs!

I mean, i'd argue that a car costs a bit more than $150, but i see your point.

Your input is very accurate. Being able to write notes freely anywhere on the page, draw on it, attach images, links, etc is a big part of it, but one of the most important things to me is organizing different pages into dividers/binders like you said.

I set up various sections for quests, locations, npcs, etc, for my rpg worlds, and need it to be well organized and be able to link to different sections within the same binder. I also like to color code everything.

I've just finished Inscryption and it was one of the best gaming experiences i've ever had. On the surface it seems like a simple card game but it's so much more than that! This game is so wild and creative it's insane. Strongly recommend you play it, don't look anything up about it.

I bought it along with some other Daniel Mullins games for about 5 bucks total on sale. I almost feel bad cause it's certainly worth more than that, lol.

I mean... When it comes to "glorious Nippon" i sort of get it, to a degree.

If you still find yourself being properly represented a character then more power to you, but a lot of times the addition of trans characters to anime is less due to respect and more fetishization. I would hardly call japan progressive for lusting over trans women while also calling them the T slur.

Nah man, it's the other way around! The UK is in England. Europe is in London.

All Birds are dinosaurs, but not all dinosaurs are birds. All dinosaurs are reptiles, but not all reptiles are dinosaurs. Crocodylians for example, are not dinosaurs

I'm not sure about chickens specifically, but as you can see above, all birds are part of the theropod clade, which is the same clade as T-Rex, so they are indeed closely related.

Convergent evolution tends to happen when animals face similar environmental challenges, because sometimes a certain body plan is simply the most efficient way to tackle these challenges. For example, if animal A and animal B both live in the water, and they both need to swim fast to fill their niche, they're likely going to evolve a similar streamlined body with dorsal and pectoral fins. Ex. Sharks, Dolphins and Ichthyosaurs.

My favorite example of how cladistics has changed our perception of animals is the elephant shrew.

We named it shrew because it's obviously a shrew, right? And the elephant part was just a funny little joke because of his big snout, even though it obviously isn't related to elephants! Well, it turns out that not only is it NOT a shrew, it is actually one of the closest living relatives to elephants! How crazy is that?

That worked! Thanks.

But like, i'm pretty sure i turned off fast boot, not sure why windows was still doing this hybrid shutdown bs.

loophole implies this is was just an oversight from the lawmakers. Nah, man, it was quite intentionally made this way.

It's a Kali𝒸ₒ cat

When i say they're one of the closest, it doesn't necessarily mean they're close, just that a lot of the other, more closely related ones, such as mammoths, are extinct. That said, the closest living relatives to elephants are actually manatees and dugongs.

These are still different animals that evolved to fill different niches though. They're part of the clade Afrotheria, which is very, very diverse.

For more information on why this is such a diverse clade, i'd recommend Clint's Reptiles' video about it: https://youtu.be/bO2DpSJtFBo

I think they meant that your typo: "decease" is the wishful thinking. As in they wish he was deceased.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I guess it works if you include the TODO in "TO DO List", which i also didn't include at first.

Except dinosaurs are a huge clade with a ton of different species of animals in it.

Saying birds are a type of dinosaur is more like saying humans are mammals, which is true.

I downloaded an alarm app that only lets you turn it off after solving a math problem, and after that it waits 10min and starts again unless you confirm you are awake.

What ended up happening was that i just kept just solving them while half asleep, forgetting the 10min thing, and waking up again 10 min later, repeat 50x until it's so late that the alarm was pointless, and now not only am i late, i'm also tired.

As a bonus you could potentially fly with Telekinesis as well, by just standing on a platform and moving it up with your mind.

How does the game being old make the accomplisments less impressive though?

This is it, after millions of years thinking we were alone in the universe... Alas, first contact:

"People of earth, we would like to inform you that your vehicle is illegally parked in the orbit of the alpha centauri system, sector b-42. Failure to promptly remove this vehicle until stardate -298953.5519125684 may result in said vehicle being hurled at the sun at the planet's expense"

To add to that, if you just want to know what the original text says:

Me: This is a really simple task, i can finish it in like 30min, an hour tops.

My brain: Exactly why we can postpone it longer.

My mom is the opposite of that. She'll reduce entire sentences to one or two words that are utterly incomprehensible without the larger context. Also, and this is more of a regional thing where i'm from rather than something specific about her, but when talking about other people she'll often just use a generic slang in my language that just means "person" to refer to them, as if assuming i know who she's talking about. So picture your story, broken up in 50 two word sentences, with all the names replaced with "that guy/girl", except starting from the end, with me trying to work my way back enough to understand it.

It's more about your demographic. Doesn't matter if you've never watched anything even remotely related to JRE, if it's popular around your local area it'll be recommended to you.

I've gotten so used to not trusting my brain for remembering things i just say "i think" in every statement i make no matter how certain i am of it.

I swear, i could be testifying in a court of law and i'd still be like:

"I swear i didn't kill him! I think..."
