No news source matches my political perspectives, so all of them, I guess.

Caring for the donated cadavers used by a biology department for their pre-med anatomy classes. These were people once, almost always of a John/Jane Doe situation. Very gross and off-putting job, even if you could manage to not wonder about the lives of these former people.

How strange it is, to be anything at all.

It sounds crazy to you because you have apparently had success handed to you through no work or special virtue of your own. Maybe get out of your comfy bubble a bit

Interesting enough, Morgan’s widow became one of Joseph Smith’s plural wives. It’s a small country.

I finally got a widget I modeled in OpenSCAD to print correctly in my resin printer. The shape is such that supports were really challenging.

It’s interesting to me because I have graduated from the ‘tchotchkes’ phase of printing into the realm of making functional parts that further my other projects.

Trying to get Cthulu’s tentacle-beard to print correctly was a good exercise, but designing and printing a useful part feels like a real step up.

Back when Perl was the language of choice for bioinformatics, I found a huge performance boost pre-processing large (~1Tb) text files using built in unix tools like sed and awk with regex. So while it might take me a full hour to peck out the correct incantation, the task would then run in an hour, compared to four hours or more for the same task using Perl.

So many pipes…

Grooming the youth, that’s the kind of indoctrination you need. As a missionary, the only non-indoctrinated adults who got into the BoM were, let’s say, simple.

I do wish it was more common to realize there is no wrong way to dance (except inadvertently injuring your partner, I guess). It’s your body, wiggle it the way you want

Lars and the Real Girl. It sounds like a risible premise that is actually super human and skillfully executed.

Nothing, it’s inherently part of the design of ActivityPub.

I think that he is an aspen tree, because of the way he is.

How about you define your own belief system and let others choose their own words?

Which god?

Maybe ask better questions? Invoking a god to explain anything is the death knell of reason.

Specifically Sheldon for me. I was in grad school when that show was first aired and I hated it instantly and thoroughly. I was already aware that academia is an asshole-factory and couldn’t enjoy it.

It’s only tangentially related to the topic, since it involves brain enhancements, not ‘AI’. However, you may enjoy the short story “Reasons to be cheerful” by Greg Egan.

And a news app queued up in the app switcher that you can quickly adjust when someone walks in. Gotta stay up on current events!

I always have Terminal open in the background. Never know when you might need to enact a dramatic hacker scene. I just can’t believe what they charge for thise minitors that project text onto your face.
