I’d never heard of the monkey banana ladder experiment before. At the end of the article it said that that experiment has never actually been done. When searching further, it seems like this is an often cited hypothetical experiment. I found mention of a similar study that actually happened that allegedly had different results but the details seem to be behind a paywall.

I’ve not seen the wire, but now I’m afraid if I do it will make me sad.

I realized the dangers involved. That is why I never became a police officer myself.

… actually the reason is because I was too old by the time I had the idea to try, but realistically I had talked myself out of it before I knew that.

I have had the thought before that the police problem could be improved if decent human beings joined the force and tried to change it from the inside out. I think it could make a difference but I don’t think many people consider it because it feels like joining the wrong team.

Make sure you also test it while drunk or heavily drugged up.

I know my comment was low effort. I appreciate the supportive response anyway, even if it wasn’t that well deserved.

Thank you.

Who?

I’d be doing this right now, but the rest of the family is sleeping.

This is true. Although, every once in a while I’ll convince the wife unit to go out and we both usually end the night with a sense of regret and a feeling that we both would have preferred to have just stayed home.

For me Bill Cosby was not surprising. Danny Masterson was disappointing. I havent yet heard what Steven Tyler or Kevin Spacey did and now I’m afraid to Google it. I have no idea who Anthony Kiedis is.

…just looked them all up…sigh, yeah. I’m with you. It does make it impossible to appreciate the art with that knowledge.

Yeah, the $36+ per kilo is a lot, but from a “vote with your dollar” perspective, I may stomach it in hopes that the price goes down, and the color options improve. I don’t print as often as I used to, so that makes it easier.

Apparently wiki identifies it as a “pointing stick”.

…also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

I’m am pretty sure I’ve hauled more with my little hatchback than this person has with their truck.

Mine.

Yes, both links and lynx are terminal based browsers. I remember using them to browse the Gentoo handbook when trying to do my first install.

Thanks for the nostalgic flashback.

I was in the hospital last month and the screen lock on the computer cart that they use to access your records and record information was showing advertisements.

It wasn’t even medical related. It was for a fast food chain.

When I was younger, we moved around a lot, and as side effect of that, we paid for a storage unit to hold less frequently used stuff. Around the time I started high school, we managed to buy a house, and moved everything from the storage unit into our home. In it there was a picnic basket that I had never seen before. I remember looking inside and finding a horrible smelling bag of “bread” which was actually a black liquid with lumps in it. There was also some individually wrapped cheese slices which visually speaking were indistinguishable from any I could buy in the store today.
