I close my eyes, take slow deep breaths, and with each breath slowly count up and down from 0 with the high number increasing by one on each cycle. Eg. 0 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0… It requires just enough concentration to keep my brain from drifting off to other thoughts (usually), but is boring enough that I rarely get to 9 without falling asleep. If find my mind does wander, I just try again.

SCIENTISTS CAN’T EXPLAIN BrundleFly2077’s hyperbolic discourse

aren’t not dependent on each other

So, they are dependent on each other.

An Invocation for Beginnings

In the third paragraph you mentioned “tux” but I’m guessing that you meant “tmux”. Just a clarification for readers not familiar with it and want to look it up.

Brand New Key by The Dollyrots

and the original version by Melanie

True story, about 20-25 years ago, a radio station in my home town was playing ads for some new local business doing web design.

After hearing the ad on my drive to work for the umpteen billionth time I finally got curious and went to check out their own website (I they’re charging people to build websites, they’re own website must be a pretty awesome demonstration of their skills, right?)

The website looked like absolute garbage and, upon viewing the source, the meta tags clearly betrayed the fact that it was created in Word.

I can only imagine how much money they were paying to run those ads. I even considered the possibility I was being pranked somehow.

Don’t take it so literally. It’s got good alliteration and rolls of the tongue.

A car stopped in front of their home – the same one they’d had for the past 30 years

So, he arrived in the car they’ve had since he disappeared…

The car allegedly raced off before anyone had a chance to question the driver,

… and then someone stole it???

Edit: Ohhhh, it’s the same home they had when he disappeared. 🤦

This would make an excellent short film. The fire axes scene would be epic.

That’s the point.

Tangent: Whenever the news reports a major earthquake somewhere, I like to remind people that Plate Tectonic Theory is “just a theory” and that some religious leaders confidently assure us that earthquakes are caused by promiscuous women.

Males, yeah, that’s how we high five.

No, we don’t.

Females I go waaaaaay lighter on. Like a fist bump with your palm.

And the intended recipients are all psychic and can tell that your delivery will be different than every other drunk high-fiver they’ve previously encountered. Right?

So, a byproduct of this process is, potentially, greenhouse gases? Yay.

IANAL, but I feel like if the heirs to an estate cared enough about the deceased’s Steam account enough to get the court involved, Steam wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. But that’s probably what it would take to get them to do the right thing.

failed to apologise for or denounce

Anybody can denounce another person’s shitty opinions.

From my experience in both the workforce and reading the news, I feel like CEO is a strong candidate for “unskilled job”. I mean, when someone can simultaneously be the CEO for a major car company, a major rocket company, a brain implant company, and an infrastructure company, and be the owner, CTO and Executive Chairman of a major social media company, while still having time to spend all day xitting out their unhinged thoughts to the world, CEO has to be the easiest job in all of humanity.

I feel like I’ve been down voting a lot of posts linking to garbage articles on sciencealert. Starting to think it’s not a very reputable source of information.

The knocked over chair punches hard. 👍
