Trying to figure out what's true, especially about AI and the future.
because they're ~the only literally 100% cellulose-based underwear you can buy (elastic bands are made of mostly spandex/elastane) and I was curious. I think I will buy at least a few more pairs of these, and maybe start wearing them by default. (3/3)

I mean, medianworlds are self-contradictory as a spec (unless single-occupant): e.g. you would also have median-intensity gender-expression.
Like, in my medianworld, am I at the geometric median elev/lat/long? Or median cartesian location (so probably in a mine somewhere)? Can't really be both.

control", but I'd bet at 3:1 that they still use my session geolocation history for advertising, and will happily hand it over to law enforcement if asked. So it feels kind of like everybody has access to it except me. (4/4)

auto-flagged because of the pastebin link, or what. It's not like I was getting a lot of value from my reddit account anyway; I was only commenting once a month or so, but it feels really bad. (2/2)

just the structure". Feeling very glad I bought the printer instead of wasting a ton of effort and time waiting for third party services. Seems likely to pay for itself faster than I expected. (4/4)

Looks like the way you'd do it on purpose is with transform: scaleY(-a); in CSS (given some value for a); maybe yet another example of AI labs' propensity to flip sign bits 😛

definitely worth the trade-off for me vs all other shells I've tried (I've used bash, zsh, and fish for a year or more each, and tried others like nushell and elvish for at least a day); I'd recommend it if you often wish your shell had sane data types or powerful math baked in. (7/7)
