Rust's `core::mem::drop` having the exact implementation I thought it was gonna have is so fucking funny. I love `core::mem::drop` now

a consolate is kinda like an embassy, on a very surface level to be fair because they've never been on my radar enough for me to care about the distinction, but still

ICE has zero authority to arrest within an embassy. They have all sorts of special legal protections

terrifying realization: I would really like nixos actually

on second thought i will not elaborate on how this inspires me . But it works very well

A Chinese propaganda poster from 1970. Three persons with fierce expressions stand against a firey backdrop. White text, possibly Chinese, on the bottom of the poster, and along the top in dark Latin script, seemingly a list of names. In the front, a young man dressed as a soldier clutches a long firearm in one hand, and a grenade in the other, leaning back as if about to throw. Behind him, a tall, determined woman with a rifle stands ready, and behind her, a younger woman wields a crossbow. They look so fucking cool

"American Imperialism Must Be Driven Out of Southern Vietnam!", 1970

why did they make this go so hard lmao

now, I don't know how much that plane weighed, but presumably a lot. and so, that's a lot of force.

coupled with the fact that the fire only needed to make the building malleable, not fully liquid, and that every collapsed story stamps more weight down, and you have a recipe for structural collapse

MIT analysis determined the second plane flew at 864 kph

the net force on a body is equal to its mass times its acceleration; that is, we know that a large mass had to decelerate very quickly, and all of that force had an equal & opposite effect against the building

A picture from Wikipedia of a male Muskox in Dovrefjell National Park, Norway. He resembles an small ox, and his features appear comically large for his body.

Thoughts on ranked-choice voting?

my "LLMs have been a net negative for a lot of certain types of internet users/discourse" and "I fucking hate the existence of intellectual property" impulses are fighting eachother madly at this sentence

i am very happy to learn that the quakers are actually cool and not annoying fundies

There has to be a better way to install git on Linux man

Hyperfixation on a type of media is awesome because:

a) I quickly gained a much deeper knowledge of metal than is necessary or even common for metalheads much older than me
b) I also fixated on singular bands enough to have tens of thousands of Blind Guardian plays from only a short few years

Faster, really. It took nine days for Trump to decide on a Guantanamo "detention center", but it took Hitler's regime 1-2 months for a concentration camp in Dachau

This is good because quote dunks suck. Block & move on should be the norm

oh this administration is def going after all the useful repositories like scihub for political reasons, aren't they

my mental hack for overcoming sunk cost fallacy is to simply have adhd

if there was a cure for adhd, acquiring it would be too complex of a task for people with adhd

in my mind I remain skeptical but in my heart I choose to Believe

I avoid race conditions by telling my code to run faster than the other code

A non-logarithmic graph charting the average net personal wealth of an individual in the United States. The blue line, representing the bottom half of Americans, is perfectly flat, while the purple line, representing the top 1%, towers many bar lines above even the top 10%. The purple line currently peaks at around 16 million dollars, while the red line, representing the 50th-90th percentile, hovers at one thirtieth of that.

I don't know why I thought I'd get less angry over time about wealth inequality. What the actual fuck

on my current setup if i type any character with a diacritic, there is a nonzero chance the keyboard will stay lit but nonfunctioning, only fixing itself if i unplug & replug it

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
