That only really works in a benevolent dictatorship. In a democracy, the masses can vote for reality-rejection candidates.

It’s a pity democracy seems to be better than all the alternatives in practice, cause in principle there should be ways to improve things more. Inevitably though all other forms turn into draconian crap. Well, democracy does sometimes too, but less often.

2.x, if I read the clues correctly and me memory isn’t faulty. :)

Or he is a squirrel

Shitty foodporn.

Alas, it seems there are no winners anymore. Just sides. I don’t suspect this will end well for Iran in the long term.

Very possible. But wanted to presume bad coding over outright falsification.

🪨 tada

Scrolling through the list. The timestamps are too regular, meaning it is interpreting a lot of ambient noise as music.

Joke’s on you! I am God.

But you mean you wrote it in python with tkinter as a toolkit, rather than writing it in Tcl (which is its own language, like python).

Serious question: I’ve never met a programmer who has ever actually written anything in Tcl in the real world. If you’ve working in Tcl, tell me about it! What did you use it for and when? Was it awesome/terrible/etc.?

It nearly happened to us last week. HR didn’t carefully review their job history where they called themselves an “Asymmetrical tactical strategist” on their resume. We only realized when, during salary negotiation, they wanted 70 virgins in their insurance policy.

I mean, we thought they were talking about the dudes in the IT department. Easy mistake.

Yep. It’s still interesting to see if posted. The most interesting thing is the number of scientists who are cutting ties with Russian institutions instead of going home. Brain drain is real.

I’m an outlier! I cannot be deleted! Help help, I’m being massaged!

You can’t tell me what to ignore!

I agree, so I’ve been posting photos and things. What we don’t need is a bunch of autoposting bots.

If you want to find the busy threads though, sort of Active and All. And just see what is going on across the lemmyverse

My gawd, you’ve entirely ruined my enjoyment of this cucumber.

This is barely a joke. There are real sets like this.https://www.electronicbeats.net/sleepover-drone-is-the-ambient-rave-that-wants-to-put-you-to-sleep/

I can haz book?

Neufeld’s von Braun book is great! It doesn’t pull any ethical punches – it’s almost clinical in the treatment of his early career opportunism within the Nazi regime.

The bottom shelves are dedicated more to rocket science than human spaceflight, generally, which is why I don’t have Hadfield’s book. I met him once though. I did grad school in Planetary Science and got to meet quite a few astronauts and have a few beers.
