I don't think I've ever had it straight, but clamato is pretty good in a michelada.

My guess would be that it's a plaster cast of an ant nest.

Malgas ,

That doesn't sound right

Can we call it a swap zone instead?

Malgas ,

Shouldn't the big ones be Durdcell and Durccell?

Also: Dur9vcell.

Pfft, catapults. A trebuchet can launch a 90kg advertisement over 300 meters.

Malgas ,

Just because you've met gods is no reason to go around believing in them. It only encourages 'em.

That math assumes a flat distribution of popping times, which I suspect is incorrect.

Listening to a bag of microwave popcorn, it starts off slow, gets more rapid, and then tapers off again, implying that kernels are more likely to pop near the average time, which makes it somewhat more likely for two kernels to pop simultaneously.

But yeah, whole bag at once is probably still basically zero. Unless you use one of these, of course.

He did specify a large 3D printer. So it might be 2 or even 3 feet in length.

"Talk to cats" is definitely a trick. I already talk to cats, the problem is understanding.

    It's amazing how often things are similar to what they are.

    Don't even get me started about sex on the beach.

    I thought edge cases were the whole point of NNN…

    ‘We definitely messed up’: why did Google AI tool make offensive historical images? (www.theguardian.com)

    Brin’s “We definitely messed up.”, at an AI “hackathon” event on 2 March, followed a slew of social media posts showing Gemini’s image generation tool depicting a variety of historical figures – including popes, founding fathers of the US and, most excruciatingly, German second world war soldiers – as people of...

    Jojo Rabbit featured Jewish Maori Hitler and was very well received.

    There's a running joke in the field that AI is the set of things that computers cannot yet do well.

    We used to think that you had to be intelligent to be a chess grandmaster. Now we know that you only have to be freakishly good at chess.

    Now we're having a similar realization about conversation.

    Of the games pictured in the image, only Outer Wilds has a mechanic like that.

    I feel like this is one of those things that would differ between Resurrection and Reincarnate, but I'm not sure off the top of my head which would do what.

    In an 1895 paper, Röntgen used "X" to label an unknown type of radiation. And the name stuck, despite his later objections. (Some languages do call them Röntgen rays.)

    Metroid is a pretty cool guy. He kills jellyfish and doesn't afraid of anything.

    Oil is corrosive? Doesn't it usually prevent steel from rusting?

    Also Shakespeare:

    What, you egg! [He Stabs Him]

    Macbeth Act 4, Scene 2

    Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

    –Jean-Paul Sartre

    Not exactly what you're talking about, but LeVar Burton Reads is amazing, too. It's like Reading Rainbow for grownups.

    We should get a stew going in his honor.

    It's actually not quite an exception, because cocaine is a Schedule II drug (can be prescribed as a vasoconstrictor or topical anesthetic) and the Maywood plant is the only facility licensed to produce pharmaceutical grade cocaine in the US.

    So the coca leaf extract they sell to Coca-Cola is technically a byproduct.

    According to Google translate, 新鲜超大充气 is "fresh extra large inflatable". So, uh, I have no idea.

    anicent chinese wisdom is sometimes flawed (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

    Description: Three panels. The first panel is a picture of a sign on a window with Chinese that tells people to not to throw things out the window. There is a poor English translation on the sign that says "Do not shit in the air like a god." The second panel is D.W. from Arthur glaring at the sign. The third panel is D.W....

    The image is pretty blurry, but I'm seeing:

    窗户己限位请勿高空抛物

    Which Google translate renders as "The windows are limited. Please do not throw objects at high altitudes." Which still seems kind of mangled, but at least resembles something potentially reasonable.

    Maybe someone who actually speaks the language will show up to help us out.

    Malgas ,

    So is that a transcription error on my part, or is the original image nonsense?

    Malgas ,

    Left is correct; implicit multiplication takes precedence over explicit multiplication or division.

    Malgas ,

    Implicit multiplication is xy or x(y), explicit multiplication is x*y.

    Basically just whether or not there's an actual multiplication symbol.
