Enders Game (and the whole series) is a bit different, as unlike Harry Potter they are actually trying to teach a lesson in empathy and understanding instead of just being a fun magical romp.
To this day I have literally no idea how the Orson who wrote those books became the man he did. He lives his life by the antithesis of the ideals he preached.
Man, I am 38. When I was in highschool I was in an alternative curriculum Math program called IMP, and it is/was literally what your talking about.
Instead of memorizing equations we were instead given a hypothetical situation and learned to solve it socratically both through conversations as a class with the teacher, and in small groups to try and figure out how to solve it. It made me love math so much I almost made it my life, it was literally everything I needed as a severely ADHD teen. Everything was a puzzle to be solved, and when you solved it you gained not just knowledge, but the perspective to know where the knowledge applies.
Thanks for the tip about preheating! I bought a set of Allclad mostly so I could go from stove to oven to finish, but haven’t bothered to learn how to correctly cook eggs in them (have a carbon steel crepe pan that is the designated egg pan, highly recommend). The rest of the reason for them is that they are nigh on unfuck-up-able.
Oh that’s the best part, since it’s memes honestly never know if it’s even meant to be completely sensible. So even if it does hallucinate, just adds a bit of spice 🤌🤌
I also like the thought that probably billions was spent to make something that is best suited for deep frying memes
If I understand how AI works (predictive models), kinda seems perfectly suited for translating text. Also exactly how I have been using it with Gemini, translate all the memes in ich_iel 🤣. Unironically it works really well, and the only ones that aren’t understandable are cultural not linguistic.
Worcester is a weirdly fascinating city
My dude, they are black bagging people off the street and now our AG says ICE can walk into your home without a warrant.
If anything I am behind the curve.
In my head I called it The Scarlet Letter and the logo was a giant red burning T.
Not that I have put thought into it or anything 😅
I wanted a similar site but to track houses with Trump signs up. Have to upload pictures for the record, and cross referenced with MLS listings/sales so everything is expunged on property transfer.
No particular reason to keep this info around. Just a curiosity.
You may want to look into other Debrid services as RD has said their going to start removing material (unless something changed since a month or two ago when they announced that, I switched off and stopped paying attention)
I live in MA and knew someone who worked for Chewy. Seems like a good company all around. Except their Return to Office was asinine (if you were within ~100mi of their Boston HQ you had to return to office. One hundred fucking miles.)
Fucking manipulative assholes, gunna order some cat food from them. That’ll show them what happens when you treat a customer this way!
Lighter + Screwdriver then shove it in.
There’s also Anubis, but it uses proof of work not a maze.
The other thing I noticed up there is that it says “MAR added MAR”. Not sure if those are two people with the same Signal/Contact name/intials, or how that happened (as a Signal user, best guess is group link but that is also would be in the log at the top)
Activesync
Now, that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.
Still have mine in the hard plastic case, such a neat piece of electronic history. Also a giant PoS, more screen door than a Lowes.
That’s actually a fascinating idea. All interstellar travel is based on the movements of the planets through space time. I bet it alternates between being technically faster and slower than FTL travel since you may have to wait for a time when your destination to pass into the planets past location.
Wow that’s a fun thought hole. Constraint certainly breeds creativity!
Pretty sure a '16 Focus would have their DSG transmission, which was a stinker.
I, I, I, I, weweeuuuwuuu wuuuuu wuwuwowu hehehewuwuwuwoooo
The whole movie is masterfully stupid, and I would argue ahead of its time. If it came out in the late 2010s/2020s would have been a ton more popular with the GenZs “lol so random” humor
