Learning to use the finite element analysis tools in Solidworks so I can prove that this desk will safely hold the aquarium that I want to put on it. Assuming I've done this properly, we seem to be well within safe limits.

This is a phenomenal video and I encourage everyone to watch it. It is 2 hours long, but absolutely worth it.
New video today! Why Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other wanna-be Silicon Valley gods love to cosplay Star Trek, all while stealing the very future they idolize from us all.

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

it's kind of a moral obligation to bully harry potter fans into making them feel insecure with themselves. you don't even have to mention rowling being a snivelling fascist. you can just point out every harry potter fan is a 12 year old who never grew up with poorly developed taste

You have something the fascist slop machines will never have. You have humanity. You have a point of view. You have a heart.

AI is like this giant fucking boat we all were forced to get on, and it's a boat they stole, and also it barely floats, and also it's not going anywhere good. So it either takes us somewhere we hate, or it fucking sinks, so either way, fuck AI.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.

Rebecca Heineman passed today.
She was a unique talent, to understate things. Anyone could see that in her long list of accomplishments.
But we are not just our catalogs of retail products. She was a force of nature, a light in the darkness.
This is an unimaginable sadness.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Last night I dreamed that I was working on some complex project, using a really nifty project organizing program on my computer. On waking up, I had to wonder if this kind of software actually existed, and if not, could I create it?

Very disappointed that Dana Terrance is getting flak from toxic fans for the crime of not confirming someone's headcanon.
You're entitled to have whatever headcanons you want. You aren't entitled to express public hate for the creator when it turns out your headcanon isn't actual canon.

I don't believe in karma as a metaphysical force, but I do believe if you spend your life making the world a worse place for everyone else, it will eventually circle around and make it worse for you as well.

It is possibly to simultaneously think that shooting someone because you disagree with what they say is bad precedent that only makes the world more dangerous for everyone, and also that the world is a better place without Charlie Kirk in it and it's good that he's not spreading hate anymore.

I have now seen wild turkeys on two days in a row while walking around the neighborhood. Pretty sure they were two different groups of them too. Lots of deer too. Fall wildlife seems to be on the move now.
