Isn’t TNR a print font? It looks rather bad on a screen actually. I certainly wouldn’t (and never have) use it for a technical report.

Chick-fil-A isn’t that great.

I would never eat there because of their bigoted politics, but I am always shocked at how many people act like they can’t live without it. Weird.

Fwiw I agree, the concept of “true randomness” never set well with me… often we use probability to model systems that are too complex to understand or calculate directly. However, in this case I defer my personal beliefs to genius scientists and mathematicians who have spent their whole lives exploring just this dilemma. So far we have no deterministic model for quantum mechanics, and no indication that such exists.

(not an expert or formally educated on the subject, but I recommend reading A Brief History of Time for an accessible overview)

oh it’s fine, you know how when deer get old and their teeth are all worn away or whatever, and they can’t eat anymore and they just starve to death… it’s just part of life! /s

Apparently they call it “Hindu-Arabic” numbers now. Not sure if that makes it more or less frightening

tortilla chips and popcorn, only human foods she’ll eat…

Upgrading to fedora 39. Finally set up FOSS home cloud server I’ve been planning and researching for years. Probably a lot more… wouldn’t mind testing out Linux on my phone.

Ah, the system of everything, didn’t that go out the window with quantum mechanics?

and they are fed by nutrients extracted from dead humans, because there’s no room to bury anymore and the air is too polluted for cremations

Is Putin really a winner tho? They almost had a coup. I mean if the war was going amazingly well, but their economy is shit, they’re isolated, and they are in stale mate with an enemy they should dominate…

I mean, anything over about 1000 USD would be a big help, I had to make an unexpected visit to a sick parent that really set back my short term goals.

10k would be a nice emergency fund and I could start focusing again on things like moving to a better place (moving is expensive).

100k would mean freedom to get any transition-related surgeries I want without hassling with insurance. Or it could be rolled into a home purchase or retirement.

Currently my income isn’t great, but I can pay my bills with savings to spare, even in a nicer apartment or home.

Came here to say this.

winners: arms manufacturers and dealers, “defense” industry, military-industrial complex

losers: soldiers, civilians

Definitely not me after working a week of 12hr shifts

using term ‘communist’ in context of progressive far-left socialism

Really?! I made a ridiculously tongue-in-cheek comment, but of all the vile implications of blaming a single minority group for destroying the world, this was your rebuttal?

extremist organization

Of course, why did nobody ever think of targetting the President of Homosexual International?! Perhaps a drone strike? I bet he’s hiding in a school or hospital somewhere in Ukraine.

Can we not blame gay Jews?

Like especially the communist gay Jews, the true root of global disharmony

Limiting what structures can be built/open and where isn’t oppression, it’s standard government policy everywhere on earth. People can still believe whatever they want.

Only discriminatory if it favors one group over another, so ban them all.

Wilders wants to ban mosques

That’s cool, as long as we ban churches, cathedrals, synagogues, and temples at the same time.

I really didnt know this guy was still around, he hasn’t been making the world headlines so much in recent years.

Look I understand, I really do.

When I was a kid, I was told to beware of clothes irons because they are hot.

But one day, curiosity got the better of me, and I touched the damn thing to see if it was hot. Hurt like hell, still have the scar to this day. But I don’t touch hot surfaces anymore.

Go on Argentina, touch the iron :)
