  • ASMR

    Jump
  • ASMR isn't supposed to be relaxing, some people just found it relaxing and somehow that completely bastardized the genre(also it became soft core pornography). ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, basically some people get a pleasurable tingling sensation on their head/neck/spine when they hear certain sounds, and ASMR content is supposed to stimulate that response for those people.

    What I don't get is that people encountered ASMR and unquestionly went "guess that's what it's called" and didn't wonder at all what the obvious acronym stood for, literally 5 seconds to Google 4 letters and you'd understand what it's all about.

  • Also chemists doing electrochemistry where the direction of electron flow is very important. You also have to deal with anode and cathode being flipped from how you expect since you are putting current in instead of taking current out.

  • Keep in mind the launch model of the 360 didn't have an HDMI port, most people still had a CRT, and it didn't even come with component cables, there was only a composite lead in the box, you had to pay extra for component cables if you wanted them.

  • He un-renamed the department of war, it had that name until 1947

  • "Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping!"

  • This is why I only pay attention to manifold, it's funny money only, salty bet style, actually just fun instead of a horrifying gambling addiction.

  • Oh hey that's Prospect Park Water Tower in Minneapolis, weird seeing it in a meme on the internet.

  • The Zachtronics solitaire collection (steam, Linux version available) has a bunch of fun unique solitaire variants, and every layout is guaranteed to be solvable.

  • It's a lot harder to make that argument in the context of the rest of the lyrics

    Music is a lot like love, it's all a feeling And it fills the room, from the floor to the ceiling I see miracles all around me Stop and look around, it's all astounding Water, fire, air and dirt Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don't talk to a scientist Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed Solar eclipse, and vicious weather Fifteen thousand Juggalos together And I love my mom for giving me this Time on this planet, taking nothing for granted

    It's not anti-science, it's frustration at the world for being the complicated, messy place it is, and a longing to go back to the simple innocence of childhood where even basic physical processes are magical. It's not a rant that nobody should do science, it's his own disillusionment, and a plea for people to allow a little bit more wonder into their world.

    It's a powerful lyric because even in a song about how magical the world is, it still slips in and ruins it, the pebble in your shoe that doesn't allow you to ever truly experience that pure feeling again, always gnawing at you in the background no matter what you do.

  • And anyway, the correct term is gaslamping.

  • It's a Netflix production, it'll be there after the theatrical run.

  • Anyway I'll probably hack together an implementation to see if it actually works like I think it does

  • The standards for eggs are really strict in Japan, eggs are so safe already that eating raw eggs is a commonly accepted practice.

  • 10kV static discharge and 5kA @ 1mV would like a word.

  • Think of it as the Mac appstore VS the Windows App store. Mac apps (flatpak) are the same as desktop apps, but sandboxed, the store isn't intrusive, and people found it convenient, so it was fine. Then the windows app store (snaps) launched and it did basically the same thing but slightly worse, except Microsoft (canonical) forced it down its users throats, so people hated it.

    Both camps are right, from a technical perspective, snaps are fine, but philosophically, it sucks, and the Linux community cares way more about the latter than the former, otherwise they'd all be running windows.

  • Hey, don't kinkshame.
