LPT: Instead of waiting to get sick to take antibiotics, you should spread out your treatment by taking super small doses of antibiotics every day. Make sure to regularly switch which ones you use so all the bacteria will eventually get killed by something! There's no possible way this goes wrong!

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

So excited to back this game, it looks so cool!

For the youngsters 🥸🤙

uh oh I have unlocked ability to blog this is a disaster averypi.space/blog/malware...

This is the Dragonfly spacecraft, ultimately destined for Titan, photographed in July during early construction at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The mission PI, Zibi Turtle, shared this image at the OPAG meeting today. Credit: NASA/JHU APL/Zibi Turtle

99% of C++ standardization committees stop right before they design the perfect language feature that everyone will immediately adopt. Maybe C++29 will be the one...

*shakes magic 8 ball* "You're absolutely right, and that is a fantastic point!" *shakes magic 8 ball again* "Excellent correction. That's entirely my bad. The correct answer is..."

A silver lining from the Navier-Stokes OpenAI/Buckmaster+Apolge drama: maybe the cranks will stop using AI to develop their "theories" out of paranoia, and we'll return back to the good ol' days of human-written garbage crankery. Cranks used to have character! Now they all sound exactly same.

Evil Edgar Dijkstra: "Go To Statement considered perfectly fine and actually pretty nifty"

It's not decision paralysis, I'm just working in ZF and so don't have access to a choice function.

We should blow up Pluto so the people who falsely believe it should still be a planet get even more angry. Charon yearns for gravitational freedom.

bad photoshop job but whatever

There once was a hitman from Sweden Who was, on the motorway, speedin’ His mark goes unwhacked, For in ironic fact, The killer’s the one who’s left bleedin’

Monopoly features 2d6 dice rolls, makes heavy use of metanarrative currencies, is tailored heavily to emulate a specific genre (ruthless capitalism) and encourages emergent character-driven conflicts and narratives. Therefore, Monopoly is a PbtA game.

A watched pot never boils. The water inside does, of course, but a large percentage of stoves are not hot enough to boil metal. And if your stove is hot enough to vaporize pots, then you probably should avert your eyes.

New cryptid

Sometimes, TCP packets get lost in transmission. TCP accounts for this, simply retransmitting the data. But have you ever wondered where the originals end up? It turns out, these packets without a home get routed to a weird place between places. A strange address only known as THE ACKROOMS.

Actually, in the Midwest they call it "baking pop"

It's well known in physics that an observer falling into a black hole would become stretched and elongated by extreme tidal forces. It's less well known that a similar phenomenon occurs with some black bears, as pictured below.

Gonna start referring to grand pianos as "those expensive mechanical keyboards"

can't be shit-talking my goat 17A table tray latch like that :((((

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

In the far future, today's history will be long lost. The few surviving relics will be utterly alien. Among the most arcane is the 83KiB incantation near the start of all omninet communications: "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 53.0; Win64; x256) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)..."

I'm scrolling back through my posts. Most of them are incredibly bad and often niche jokes. I think that my quest to become internet famous may be hindered by my inability to be actually funny. On second thought, I'm just gonna blame everyone else for this. Please stop suppressing me, or else.

My patch got merged into GHC! Wasn't a huge change but it was cool to work on and the maintainers are super nice :)

Compiler goes to programmer. "Programmer, I am in rough shape. Mutable references abound and the tiniest changes break API compatibility." Programmer replies, "The treatment is simple! Rewrite in Haskell and GHC will sort you right out." Compiler bursts into tears: "But I am GHC!"

Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease is good for TCP congestion control, but apparently you will get tickets if you try to apply it to road traffic :/

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

Note that you must drop your old badge before changing your name, otherwise rustc will yell at you for trying to mutate a borrowed variable.

why are the engines on the artemis ii pointed downwards? the engines are what makes the rocket move and so if they're aimed at the earth won't the rocket go down and not up? i hope someone at nasa knows this
