The midpoint to the end of Evolution, humans basically devolve and ultimately go extinct.

It's been awhile since I've read anything by him as well.

I remember another book where artifically created people inside a dwarf star were dying due to solar harvesting, IIRC. I remember it being depressing but fascinating. Don't remember how it ends.

The eldertubbies gonna be pissed when they find out one of their children is being used to sell shitty coffee...

On October 25, 2016, allegations were made by two men stating that Trump had attended and partaken in sex parties filled with underage minor females as young as 15 years old who were induced with promises of career advancement.[174] Illegal drugs were also alleged to have been provided to the minors.[175]

Wikipedia

There's another story about Epstein poaching an underage massage parlor worker from chump that pissed him off. Haven't looked for a source.

Looks like the party line will eventually be that girls that have gone through puberty are really women and that makes it okay. It's pretty disgusting, I'm waiting for them to start making a distinction between pedophilla and hebephillia.

Like a technical distinction where Fox News brings on a tame doctor that explains that it's normal for older men to fuck/rape 14-15 year old girls.

I respect the hell out of Baxter, he's a hard sci-fi artist. However, he's so unrelentingly bleak I had to quit reading his stuff.

Pee Wee German

They got rid of the motherfucking crisping sleeves! I'm pissed.

fsck

Dexter Russell carbon steel knives. Some of the patterns are 200 years old. Cheap compared to the high end stuff but they're easy to keep screaming sharp and work great.

Stainless knives are good for pocket knives that are exposed to sweat, work knives that are in corrosive environments, serrated steak knives that go in the dishwasher. Anything else, pretty much, carbon is king.

Huh. Haven't ran across that expression before. Halloween was always queer, I thought. (Dress up and be whoever you want to be, etc.) Halloween and happy fireworks day are my favorite holidays.

Jeebus. That's fucking wild.

This summer has been like summers when I was a kid. I'm a few hundred miles north of where I was.

(Neighbors look at us like we're crazy when working outside in the mid 90s, humidity is only like 60-70%.) Heat tolerance is a superpower, apparently.

Oh yeah, he's a shithead just like his mom. Hopefully he loses all custody, the mother of the child is not a total shithead; maybe the kid has a chance.

This is a very sharp article. Think I first saw it on Hackaday. I should be using the checklist more often. If there is to be a 3D print bible like Machinery's Handbook, this article is foundational.

In particular, chamfers and fillets and their relationship to strength by reducing stress risers is often missed on amateur designs.

I need to look at crush ribs and ribs for screws/bolts more.

The idea of a sphere being the most efficent shape is counterintuitive when most mechanical design is inherited from subtractive manufacturing. Also, speed holes reducing strength and increasing material usage is wild. These are powerful ideas that are going to cause almost a philosophical change in manufacturing. It's going to take decades. Absolutely mind-blowing stuff when you really think about it.

DFM, in general, is a woefully underappreciated aspect of engineering. One of the great things about 3D printing is that the designer is generally forced to eat their own dog food.

MEs should recieve more education about DFM. 3D printing would be an easy way to force them to understand the difficulty poor design causes. Of course, DFM for subtractive is a larger and more complex subject, but printing would at least teach the lesson with a little sting.

Nothing wrong with vaping while being blown. Or smoking a cigar. Or receiving a handy. It can be very relaxing and plays into power dynamics.

negotiate, consent, bdsm, yada-yada...

Is Gay Christmas like Friendsgiving?

I started working in shops around 2000. I'm so fucken over it.

Learn a trade, may not always pay great but you can always find something.

Live below your means, assume you could be laid off at any time. If you're able to buy a house, don't buy too much house.

I'm not a huge Ozzy fan, but you can't deny the lasting impact that Sabbath had on metal. Hope the dark lord welcomes him home.

fuk dat other bitch

Okay, I'm going to split this conversation into two parallel universes where I say two different things, and I'd like you to collapse the superposition as you please.

No.

There are also pedophiles that live without offending. Good for them.

I don't think that personality disorders are really like mental illness.

I do know that when I read it on someone, the false affect and charisma absolutely makes my skin crawl. The theory of mind that I get is profoundly unsettling and I want nothing to do with them on a personal level.

I will never trust anyone that I read that way. They can make great lawyers and surgeons and such, but it doesn't mean we'll ever be friends. They're also capable of some pretty 'evil' behaviour. Thus, reptiles in skin sutits.

Amorality is a common result of a conscious empathy system. Sometimes you can tell when the empathy isn't running.

I've dealt with enough reptiles in skin suits, especially in the corporate world, that I don't think those terms are stereotypes.

I don't think people with ASPD should be locked away, but I do tend be watchful. I'm also leery of those with BPD, Narcissism, and Borderline. I've had some profoundly negative experiences.

Any american Bleu that approaches Roquefort in your opinion? Any american bleu that is great?

@Soggy@lemmy.world Do you have an opinion?

(I have no dog in this fight but I really like cheese and y'all know enough to fight about it.)

and slathering it on a well done steak

Burn the heretic!
