  • A gentleman does not downvote.

    Jump

  • I feel like it's okay to downvote abusive or dishonest posts.

  • What is a relatively inexpensive item that offers entertainment beyond it's intented usecase?

    Jump

  • Pens. Just check out the pen-spinning videos on youtube.

  • What if we got Ea-Nasir wrong?

    Jump

  • I read a history blogpost claiming that Ea-Nasir was a patriotic (but hot-tempered) man who carried on trying to sell his home town's copper long after they had mined out the good deposits.

  • What book, movie, etc. do you wish there was more of?

    Jump

  • It hurt to lose 1899 just when things were getting interesting.

  • What book, movie, etc. do you wish there was more of?

    Jump

  • Genre-wise, I'd call it dieselpunk.

  • What book, movie, etc. do you wish there was more of?

    Jump

  • Barry Hughart's tales of Master Li Kao and Number Ten Ox. There are three books in the series, but he originally planned more. I believe he had some issues with his publisher and gave up on writing the follow-ups. Shame, because it's my favourite fantasy series.

  • Do you think humans can be cloned as of currently? (I mean, not just a specific part of the body but a whole human)

    Jump

  • I don't think cloning a human would be much harder than a sheep.

  • What is one or more pieces of media you've consumed that kept making more content but needed to just end?

    Jump

  • The wheel of Time

    Seriously. I gave up on that series at book 5 when the author hadn't resolved a single major plot point yet.

  • When shopping, especially in fashion, do you take brand into consideration?

    Jump

  • Only to avoid fashionable brands. I once bought a pair of name brand shoes and walked through the soles in less than three months. Won't be wasting my money that way again.

  • What was good while it lasted?

    Jump

  • There's a lot of people here reminiscing about how it used to be a better world. It wasn't, but we weren't aware of all the horrible hidden shit going on, or we felt less affected/responsible because it was a less connected world back then. Sometimes I miss my ignorance, but ignorance won't fix the world.

    So I guess I miss pulp novels.

  • Do you read books on your phone?

    Jump

  • My phone screen is too small. I have a separate, larger, e-ink screen for that.

  • What’s your favorite sad song?

    Jump

  • Mad World - specifically the Gary Jules version. Even Tears For Fears like what he did with it.

  • ‘We’re no longer attracting top talent’: the brain drain killing American science

    Jump

  • Well, like the Pedo-in-Chief said: smart people don’t like me.

    If people with education, experience and good judgement don't like you... it's a clear sign that having those things distort your thinking! /s

  • Smells

    Jump

  • I smell like Product The Supermarket Will Drop In Two Weeks.

  • What's the most interesting or unbelievable thing you've seen with your own eyes?

    Jump

  • I saw a duck steal a woman's wallet.

    It was hanging around her feet while she ate lunch, obviously hoping for some crumbs. She ignored it and it started poking its beak through her handbag. I saw it come up with the wallet, then start to waddle slowly away as she stood and took up her bag to walk off. The exterior doors on that side of the building were locked, so I couldn't get her attention to let her know what was going on. I wonder what she thinks happened to her wallet?

  • a drawing I made

    Jump

  • What's the connection with UNIX?

  • Removed

    If Amadioh Chess ruled the world, the world will be a much better place

    Jump

  • I'm interested. What are your economic policies?

  • [OC] Matthew Lewin of Magdalena Bay

    Jump

  • Sauron on drums? Most metal band ever.

  • Breakfast vanilla pudding !

    Jump

  • Listen, you can't just call something a breakfast-whatever and convince us it's a suitable first meal. I was prepared to let breakfast burritos slide, but this is a step too far.
