Redwall had a sweet early 90s website. There was a little sound clip of Brian Jaques introducing himself and welcoming you to Redwall Abby (on the internet).

So I GOT to learn that from the man himself.

I figure that .wav file must exist SOMEWHERE still. It belongs in a museum.

And that's the counter-intuitive thing about water. Whereas "hot things rise" is true for almost everything, it isn't for water... at least not in the area around freezing.

Hot things rise because they are less dense than cold. Typically things get more dense the colder they get. Water actually breaks this rule between 4 and 0 degrees C. As you approach freezing, the "slightly warmer" molecules actually sink to the bottom.

Well, yes.

But this is the like, 50th time something like this has happened in the last 12 months.

The markets aren't reading the tweet as if it's truth, merely as this is what he sounds like right before he is about to try and bail on whatever his current distraction is.

Commenting to find this later, need to understand how water could ever freeze in any way besides top to bottom given maximum density at 4C

"Trolling is a art"

Intentionally making a minor error is one of the most established methods of generating engagement.

To refine that even further, he doesn't appear to imply that the dev isn't WORKING hard enough, only that they're not being OPTIMALLY PRODUCTIVE.

What he's trying to do, really is float and normalize the concept of baking tokens into HR math in terms of a "golden ratio"... which happens to be 2:1.

So, when a company goes all in on ai, and they cut thier workforce in half, they'll need to add in 50% for tokens. 50% of the original staff, at a new 150% cost, puts the company at 75% pre ai workforce cost. This is the "guidelines" they're trying to normalize.

Id never seen this image before but it's the clearest and most intuitive illustration of the effect I've seen.

I think the asterisk is the entire explanation for the down votes.

OP hasn't said why they were taking the steroids or what underlying physical constraints they have. And that's fine, it's none of my business. I'm just happy they're feeling better.

It'd be like me walking into a hospital, not bothering to read a patients chart, and then just telling all the patients what they need to do to get better.

I'm only operating on assumptions, not asking any questions, and I'm not even a doctor.

It's absurd, absolutely absurd, offensively absurd to say anything will have a "similar result" to anything else if you don't even know specifically what they're taking or even why they're taking it in the first place.

That doesn't mean it's bad advice, in the general sense. It's just inappropriate to offer up your prescription to a specific person with a specific issue with absolutely no information about the person or the issue.

I'm really enjoying it too. I feel like they really refined a lot of the existing mechanics... it's so much more clear to me know what the original envisioning of some mechanics were.

I feel like they saw how the game ended up being played, and went back to the drawing board.

I must be, because no matter how many times I read your last paragraph, no matter the charity I afford, I can't comprehend and alternative interpretation of your last paragraph. Iran is "FORCED" to sell munitions to Russia. The if clause sets the precondition of that as being the sanctions imposed on them.

If you didn't intend to imply they don't have a choice (forced) or that the precondition isn't the sanctions imposed by the USA, you could absolutely take another shot at formulating your thoughts.

I'd say I'd be happy to read them, but based on the aggressiveness of your reply I really am not anticipating I will.

What do bees need pollen for? I thought bees just got bukkaked as an co-evolutionary repayment for the nectar they're jacking?

 
 

Our city leaves free dirt out at the fire station for people to spread on their sidewalks in the winter. I grabbed some for the back ally which is very icy.

I probably only grabbed 30 lbs or so, but I was still very diligent to lift it properly. Last thing I need over the holidays is to have a sore back.

 

I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
