This is what I’m on too, though I’m a book behind you. Popcorn for the brain.

I loved his children of time series. This sounds amazing and I definitely will check it out. Thanks for sharing.

Except now he’s appointed her to be “special envoy to the shield of the America’s” whatever the fuck that’s supposed to be.

I see letterkenny, I upvote letterkenny. I am a simple man.

I read that book last year and it was horrifying.

I’ve met people from South America (Brazil specifically) that take great offense at being referred to as Hispanic and insist that they are in fact Latino.

This was also a long time ago

I ate an entire bag of lemon warheads on the ride back from a band competition in highschool.

Teenage me would absolutely do it again (and probably did). Not so sure about middle aged me now though…

Pretty sure that was dhh, the creator of rails being told he didn’t have enough experience in rails. I tried to find it, I found references to it, but the original was in Twitter.

This is what I came here to post. Bonus for it being in a dead language (Gaulish).

The full video (linked in another comment) references the myth busters video in the first 20 seconds.

Keep fighting the good fight.

You’ve gotten some good answers already so I’m going to comment on something unrelated, mostly because I’ve had a couple glasses of wine and for some reason found this hysterical.

I’ve googled with a few search engines…

I’m old enough to remember search before Google, the rise of Google and the verbification of Google’s name to become a term to meaning to search with Google. To see it now used in this way is deeply funny to me for some reason. Incredible to see how language evolves over time.

I was incredibly confused.

I’ve got a bunch of people on my local nextdoor complaining about how it was “so pornographic” and they had to turn it off after the first minute.

“Here comes doctor tran… He’s a real doctor. With a PhD in kicking your ass”

But “the left is so violent!” Is all I ever keep hearing from rightwingers I know. Meanwhile examples of political violence from the right is always “oh that’s just an isolated incident.”

Well… He does have an island of his own, doesn’t he?

Back when I was in college I took a computer engineering class around 2010 I think with a professor who had done CPU design at one of the big chip manufacturers. He had a story about how no human knows how they work anymore because they’ll do the designs, then feed them through some optimization algorithm thing before the fabrication. Then when they would evaluate the chip they’d find that it was behaving in completely unexpected ways due to the optimization finding crazy efficient but unintuitive (to a human) ways of performing different operations.

I wish I could remember the details of what he talked about better, but that was a long time ago.

Your comment made me curious, so I tracked it down. The “comic” was used with an article on differential privacy written by a publication called “ad exchanger” and the ad symbol on the outfit is their logo.
