I’ve noticed a massive overlap between trans and telecom. Even before the internet, telephone phreaks were more often than not trans or trans adjacent, or just straight up eggs before it was cool.

My favorite thing about conspiracy theories is they keep coming true if you wait long enough 😬

“Conspiracy theory” was also a term invented by alphabet agencies to discredit real rumors about intelligence agency work that leaked

Don’t forget having pictures, videos, and emails from high ranking and powerful people diddling kids provided by the Mossad agent Epstein…

I guess one benefit is rust development often doesn’t use bleeding edge version for everything, where you pull the entirety of crates.io through your machine when you open your IDE. From what I’ve seen most projects use == versions and lock files.

I don’t know enough about rust though. Could an attacker change historical crate versions to a payload and then cargo pulls them because they changed? Or will cargo only pull an update if you change to a different version on your machine?

If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.

I’m pretty sure this is the original Greek word in the original text but English doesn’t have a good word for it

Athenian democracies solve a lot of our current issues. It’s a bit like jury duty. You put your own name down and can be picked for roles in government.

France did that after the yellow vest protests. They randomly picked 100 citizens to lead a citizens Senate to propose solutions, and Macron promised to implement their suggestions (he lied. Only partial implementation happened)

One of the emergent properties to picking 100 random citizens is you get close to a random sample of society. Rich and poor, left and right all with different perspectives and life experiences. They all have to argue their perspective and back it up with evidence for it to function properly.

They also can’t be bought out the same way as entrenched parties. The candidates are random. Nobody knows until the results are announced.

It also results in a much stronger sense of civic duty for the average citizen when you participate in the civic process regularly like this.

This video does a far better job than I can making the case for them

😫😫 my dick still hurts from this. Thanks Trudeau! 😫😫

Mmmm yes very good product

Iirc the south bridge now aggregates masked interrupts and groups them together instead of pestering the CPU a whole bunch

“blessed are the πραεῖς, for they shall inherit the earth”

πραεῖς = praeis = meek (closest English word. Not great imo) = Greek word that describes a person who has strength but restrains it. A strong man who yokes himself for the good of his community and for God. Someone capable of force, who is restrained by discipline against their own impulses.

Yeah

There are a lot of plants we consider weeds that used to be cultivated as staple crops. Industrialization meant only the most productive species got attention for mechanization. Less productive species fell out of favour and now are kind of lost knowledge.

Lamb’s quarters: also called goosefoot or wild spinach. It’s related to quinoa and both the seeds and the leaves were eaten.

Purslane: grows in poor soils and is hardy. Still used in Mediterranean cooking but is considered a garden weed in a lot of the world

Dandelions and amaranth: both were cultivated, and most amaranth varieties are considered weeds now

Sorrel: tough leafy green with a tangy flavour used prior to citrus in Europe.

Ground elder: hated by gardeners and farmers. A nice spring leafy green planted around monestaries

Mallow: used to thicken soups and stews. Still used in the middle east and Mediterranean but is considered a weed elsewhere.

Nettles: you’ve probably heard of this one? Not farmed anymore to my knowledge.

😱😱 Democrats are so weak and misguided! They can’t oppose Republicans properly! We need to fight over this more instead of considering a 3rd party that breaks this entire dynamic (maybe call it the wrench party?)

Iirc that’s the old testament, which is part of the Torah

The New testament is all about why you should love each other and not discriminate, and the old testament is included as a reference since Christianity evolved out of Judaism?

“may you live an interesting life during interesting times” is an old Chinese curse that we’re all living in

I would have paid it and then charged him $1.50/km for the ride

If a chartered plane heading to a furry convention crashed, the entire world’s tech tree collapses in the same moment that plane crumples into the ground.
