This is not flirting. It is socially maladjusted behaviour. Just because it has worked before doesn’t mean it is a good idea.

Pickup artists do all kinds of stupid shit that works that isn’t socially acceptable either.

Daaaad

Amazing!

Nope, haha. OpenSuse is old.

This is an amazing graph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg

OpenSuse comes from Suse which comes from Jurix and Slackware. There’s a dotted line from Redhat, because of the use of the RPM format, but that is as far as their interbred. Many people consider it one of the OG distros.

Arch sprang from the aether later, but one could argue it owes Gentoo for its concept (also a dotted line there).

Debian is an OG. It, Redhat, and Suse are approximately the same age.

Slackware on the other hand just keeps going.

The idea that light has a binary property of holy versus unholy is pretty funny. You could probably exploit this to do computing.

Doubly so for being a trans brick

I want to take that through airport security in the US. ;)

Things like platinum notwithstanding, It will almost always be more expensive to go get things in space than on earth.

Hell, even on earth it is often too expensive to get metals like iron if there isn’t rail or a port nearby. Imagine having to fly iron ingots around and the associated aviation fuel cost. Whatever crazy fuel bill you’re imagining, multiply by a hundred or more if you’re imagining getting it from space.

No, all of those metals in space are best used to build some future version of our civilization _in situ. _

Very true. However, it doesn’t add new material to the equation. If we need it to build electrical infrastructure, recycling won’t suffice.

Recycling aluminum is actually literally the best thing you can recycle in terms of environmental impact and cost efficiency. There are other things we recycle, but nothing pays off nearly as well.

That alternative material is aluminum. It’s like a top four abundance material in the crust. It’s just super fucking hard to refine from minerals that don’t like to give it up without oodles of energy. Like, turn minerals into plasma levels of energy. So the irony is, to grow our energy economy past the need for copper, we will first need to grow our energy economy.

Should fusion ever actually meet its promise, then this is one of the likely things we could do with this level of energy.

If we ever become a spacefaring civilization, it’ll almost certainly be necessary during the colonization of other planets/moons/asteroids, since the geological processes that concentrate copper on the earth are not present in those places. Whereas aluminum is plentiful any place rocky.

Not since like 2010. Unless you’re still using spinning disks somewhere in an old NAS in a closet.

Well, okay, might also depend on your definition of strong.

Yeah, if they’re dead serious about it, this is much funnier. In the haha, society is so fucked sense.

I wash as I cook. Usually you have moments when you’re waiting anyway. Means I have serving dishes only afterwards.

Had to make it a habit though in order to force myself to do it. Took years to train the habit.

Probably mostly AI written.

Long article for one sentence of trivia and no info on the algo itself. The death of the internet is upon us.

I saw this Documentary, The Princess Bride, where they went to the Fire Swamps. Was really oversold to me as a kid.

Fair enough. Allegory can still be sexual though. Layers.

Autocorrupt

Starfucker and other songs would be considered quite horny. But it’s always more “rage sex” than sexy sex. So I mostly agree. Except when I don’t ;)

Big Naked. Nine in Nails. Marylin Manson. Our Lady Peace, Alanis Morissette. There’s quite a few that could be both. But, alas, this is only a two axis graphic ;)

Also, how to tell I grew up on Canadian radio…
