anyone want to know what this is doing and why?

At my old place of work (I left a month ago) I took care of our printers and photocopiers. I’d assess their problems and either get them repaired or repair them myself. I’d always talk to them and tell them what I was doing because I felt like it was the nice thing to do.

I want to see any episode of My Little Pony run through the algorithm.

This needs to be an app for whatever replaces Google Glass. And it should kick in intermittently, totally at random.

I always say the best coders are the long-term lazy people. it takes a specific mindset to want to spend two days writing code to automate something that takes ten minutes to do. but if you do that ten minutes at least once a day? it pays for itself - eventually. if you don’t have that mentality to start with, you’ll…

I’ve been waiting my whole life for up-close photos of Pluto. This is very exciting!

Sociologists and Psychiatrists (please, these are Important People whose job titles require proper noun capitalization, dammit) are equally curious as to why you’re coming to a blog whose comments notoriously skew towards the light-hearted in hopes of finding serious scientific discussion when many other websites that…

It’s the ruins of the aliens who left pluto and now reside in Ceres where those bright spots are.

Was going to say this. Thanks for your answer.

I suspect it was the lead that their dishes and cutlery were made of, the ruthlessness one would require to survive in that environment, hallucinogenic compounds in fancy food, not being told no as children...many different thinks that cumulate into sociopathy.

That’s incorrect. Tiberius probably died of old age, as did Vespasian. Titus died of the flu. Trajan and Hadrian died natural deaths, free of assassination. I don’t believe any of the Five Good Emperors were assassinated. Diocletian retired and died at his home in what is now Split in Croatia. Those are just the ones…

“Good luck finding any of us figuring out what a kilometer is!”

You probably dug moats and filled them with syrup too. Crafty, bastards! We found out escaped cons. We’ll find you too!

We don’t do this on July 4th. Sort it out, Canada Day is not about acting like Kentucky fans.

We knew you’d say that, which is why we set up the smokescreen ahead of time. Our population density is four people per square kilometer! Good luck finding any of us!

the better question is why bother with this when it wouldn’t even help Greece. That 1.6 billion reflects the payment due Tuesday (today) but is only a small part of the several hundred billion dollars Greece has in debt

I would normally say something about correlation not implying causation about now but if you crunch the numbers it seems you are correct here. It’s scientific theory now. Batshittery begets batshittery.

I applaud you for your multidimensional thinking. True leaders look at all sides of the argument. You analyed the problem and the possible consequences of the proposed solution. Interestingly, your instincts are spot on. Last night, the fighting began.

But it already has. She’s neither a legislator nor an elected official. She did what she could in a situations she found untenable. As for backlash, there is backlash to every single move forward ever. Sure the flag went back up but there is some lively discussion going on as a result of her action. People are…

I disagree. The idiots with their pro-flag rallies were bound to come out of the woodwork anyway, before they crawl back to the ratholes they come from. And as far as I can see, Bree has garnered plenty of good will and support. It’s a well-timed, beautifully executed act of nonviolent disobedience, with enormous…
