  • The egg… laid by a bird that wasn’t a chicken

    Neil D Tyson

    The explanation goes as follows:

    Since any offspring is never going to be 100% genetically similar to its parent, eventually an offsprings genome will mutate into what we humans would classify as a chicken within our “scientific” definitions.

    Imo the concept of a chicken is an illusion. It’s a bird thing that I can eat, and sometimes they’re really nice and lay eggs, that’s what a chicken is.


  • For your education:

    Pacman like many other package managers tries to minimize network queries, to do this you download a manifest of every package available and its installation instructions. -Sy downloads the latest manifest from all of your pacman repos, -u installs the packages whose “version” field changed between the old and new manifests.

    These error messages show that the domain name the manifest had for your package was unavailable, this is why you should check for updates.




  • Whenever I think of the Dylan Roof incident.

    The death penalty isn’t a punishment, who really learns from it, the criminal? It’s a tool for society to remove what amounts to a defective person (not human, person). People are supposed to value the lives of other people by default. Any sustained deviation from this norm is a symptom of a person who cannot value life.

    Dylan Roof was given 1000s of opportunities to demonstrate that he did actually value life but because of his defective nature there was no choose but to remove him.

    “Life in prison” can be canceled/pardoned/changed, death cannot. That is why it’s near impossible to make it happen and even if it does, people spend the rest of their lives waiting for their “execution” (ftr Dylan is still alive at this time source).

    Now in what possible world would you be able to convince a jury of random peers, or judges with their heads actually screwed on tight, that a sample size of one murder proves that a person is defective.

  • So you’re right… To an extent… I usually say I’m making a new button when I’m figuring out an alias.

    I guess a better way to express my point is that I’m not geared for interpreting graphics to tell what a button is supposed to do, nor am I cool with needing to press the same buttons in order multiple times.

    On the CLI, all the buttons are named with (impo) meaningful names, and I can combine them into new just-as-accessable buttons whenever I want for free! It might align more with my working frustrations, I hate dragging my eyes over the same text/iconography every time I wanna do something, I want it to just ‘happen’. I need a user interface that can react to me faster than I can think and to achieve that I just limit my UI to exactly what I want and I keep it easy for me to expand as I need it.





  • DS9 Pale Moonlight: is my second favorite startrek episode. This is like the deepest exploration into a starfleet captain and how easy it is to lose yourself to corruption and operate outside of your government even when you’re working towards the same goal.

    VOY The Thaw: an unironic cathartic watch. I’m ready invested in the characters and I get to see A1 star trek grade acting actually brings me back to that episode.
