It's just flat out brilliant, I agree. I think one of it's best attributes is it's fresh. Oh sure, people say that phrase all the time, but what they mean is, this person yesterday, or that person over there, etc. They actually mean "I hate that stupid CVS cashier whose arm looks like two...

I realized I wasn't being honest, and needed to fix it. I have had countless conversations with educators who know that the system does not work well. [edit: they agree with basically everything you say here, and it is just very difficult pill to swallow because surely some "humanities" -- some...

Still loving nespresso. I use a k-cup for my morning coffee b/c since I rarely eat breakfast (sometimes even lunch) I dose it with a very healthy shot of cream for some quality calories.

Use Your Illusion i and II were terrible records, the absolute worst. Anything past Gish for the Pumpkins is for suckers. Both bands had one good album in them. But the music biz will milk your grannies tits if they thought a kid would buy the resulting pablum.

sigh. I wanted to come back. this pandemic is starting to freak me out; disappearing into ye olde timesuck was starting to sound appealing. but i can't abide warping. fuck this year.

25 hours is acceptable, no? I mean, that's the deal. It is the suck in near perfection. I tend to favor the 10+ hour chunk model. But that can mean a lot of chunkage. Days. What ya gonna do? Are such mobs properly GM'd? (sorry if this question triggered anybody)

I don't see Walmart going anywhere. They will be the last brick and mortar standing.

Why Bezos did not try to totally own the market when March hit is beyond me. They just enjoyed the fat revenue streams, but if they had done serious loss-leading promotionals Wal-Mart would not have been able to get it's foot in the door. Now I use Wal-mart for certain goods since the delivery...

My fave audio forum. audiophiles, headphone lovers, technical know-how people, music threads, it is fun to start following. Lots of content. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/

fify. And plz, I'm a radical. The people you are talking about are half-witted sea urchins. As to indoctrination, if you know what you are being indoctrinated in, that isn't much of an indoctrination, is it? That's right. They're idiots. And idiot-catchers. College does not exist to educate the...

I strenuously object! Remember when Captain Kirk would yell at Scotty, more power, more power? That's what I need you to do, you're Scotty, and I need more power. Can you do that for me? Can you promise, I need you to promise? There, that's Durkheim's concept of an "organic" society...

woot!

And then we have the EQ-themed version:

You might want to have a doctor look at that.

You seeing this Jeff? Come over here Jeff! Did you hear that Jeff! Jeff, come here, Jeff! Good boy, Jeff, good boy! That's right Jeff! Whose a good boy? Whose a good boy Jeff! Hang on Jeff! Do you want a seagull Jeff? Where's that seagull Jeff? Where's that seagull? Good boy, Jeff get that...

Your everyday refrigerator can survive a nuclear blast. So don't tell me this isn't doable.

This is very cool. An attempt to model the severity of the hurricane in 3d. the height dimension is greatly exaggerated. Maybe. Big pic. Wait, that's isometric right? Go for the eye, boo.

Last hurricane to make US landfall as a known cat5 was Camille.

I like your attitude.

ug. look at the time stamp. and that's intensification. those cloud tops are popping.

From wiki: " Lake Charles, located on a level plain about 30 miles (48 km) from the Gulf of Mexico, has an elevation of 13 feet (4.0 m) " From the Eye on the Storm blog: " the 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday NHC advisory calling for a peak surge of 15 – 20 feet along the western Louisiana coast. "

This just looks unpleasant:

Thanks! Bookmarked. Dr. Jeff Masters over at YCC has his write up this morning, a quote: "Laura rapidly intensified by an impressive 50 mph in the 24 hours ending at 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday, with the winds rising from 75 mph to 125 mph and the pressure falling from 990 mb to 956 mb. This far...

Rockets on secret missions tomorrow. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/08/its-nearly-time-for-united-launch-alliances-biggest-rocket-to-fly-again/ edit: this is the official banner for the mission. Apparently it is only a one-wolf mission, no moon.

^^^ oh hell yeah

That is exactly what bowls me over. I just look, "hmm, let's see where we were at 100 years ago," or 200 years, and learn my damn history, and then really get amazed. A century, even 2 centuries, is a snap of the finger. And here we fuckin are. Flying aircraft into hurricanes, which we watch...

The 1933 twins. Cool map.

Hope everyone is safe. I just realized we got two storm elementals coming up the Gulf and from what I hear a couple hundred fire elementals in Cali. Here is my Hurricane go-to, it used to be at Weather Underground but the main man -- Dr. Jeff Masters -- got set up at Yale. Most of the old...

So many topics can be developed into a completely automated or "virtual" learning environment -- maybe even make it 3d or isometric -- that will effectively teach those topics. I would hope though, that thorough "check ins" with an actual Ph.D (at the college level) as well as course-long...

Guys, I put this through my BS scanner, highest setting. It's clean. That is a 100% true statement. Of course, give me one example where retards do practice diligence. But that does not moot my judgment here. Shit's true.

I am dumb as a rock but I swear I am getting smarter, and that's news I can live with. I was trying to titrate down my paroxitine (Paxil) from 80mg daily. Had it down to 40 over a week because I think I have a Fungi or something and can regenerate mental health hp no problem. No I do not. A...

This thread is just pure awesome. I play acoustic, I suuuck at electric. That Fred Neil track is kicking my ass. Never even heard of the dude lol.

I'm gonna upvote you because not giving a fuck about hurricanes is one of the few things in Florida Man's plus column. In my book, that's the good kind of crazy.

"Timmy? Unlock this door this instant! Are you in there reading about quantum mechanics again? Dammit Timmy, you're getting entangled in something that's putting me into a state of superposition! I swear Timmy, sometimes I don't know if I love you or hate you or both at once."
