The ringing in my ears is my own personal sensation. There are many others with a ringing of their own, but this one is mine and it undoubtedly is as unique as my fingerprint.

“The maybe possibility” is literally “the possibility” wtf are you on about

Edit: you misunderstand how to use the word “maybe.” Something that “could maybe happen” is something that might possibly happen. In other words, it “may be” a thing that happens. Maybe.

Lol I figured it was porn that would make even Cloudflare blush

I am shocked to learn, and now you will know, too:

Flowbee is still around apparently!

Also autistic and did this for a few years. For a basic dude-cut, you can use buzz everything however short you want, then every few weeks after buzz the sides and back but let the top grow until it looks like it’s time to buzz your whole head again or you decide to let it keep growing back out for a bit. Pretty easy and low maintenance. Takes practice and follow the other person’s advice to shower and go back over your head to make sure you get everything, it’s harder than it seems like it should be. And you’ll need someone to help get your neckline at some point.

This cut might start out a lot shorter than you had in mind when you asked the question, or maybe not. When it comes to wielding scissors, that’s not something I can really attack my hair with, so I don’t have ideas that would be helpful in that regard.

(If you feel the urge to downvote: go ahead but ask yourself - do you feel threatened?)

lol no I just think what you said is wrong and arrogant about being able to win that argument from even a logic perspective. Arguing the absence of lowercase-g god is a Sisyphian task if ever there was one. It reads like a teenager who binged Dawkins videos wrote it.

That’s not fair! It’s against the rules!

For me, I’m Team Proxmox. It’s just easy to spin up containers for pretty much anything I need. No need for the resource overhead of a full-on virtual machine if I simply need to run a LAMP app. Anything you really have an issue transitioning from Docker to LXC can still be run inside a container with Docker installed. And if you need to set up a VM for Windows or pfSense or some other OS for whatever reason, it’s insanely easy to do.

DARPA doesn’t build the real thing, they fund the building of the real thing, it’s their MO. The robot dogs and bipeds and quadcopter drones that Boston Dynamics and Anduril and other companies have been building are the frontier and DARPA is one financier amongst a sea of others. The Ellisons just bought our military, apparently, or at least purchased a $130M stake in it, to illustrate a point that we’re fucked even if the robots don’t end up being the most efficient way to do the deed.

And will be enjoyed for much longer

Looks like it has an inertial sensor to control the view, here’s there relevant bit from the article:

The parts he purchased online include two displays that max out at 2880×1440p and 90 Hz refresh rate, two lenses, an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor, and an Arduino microcontroller board. The other parts of the headset were 3D-printed.
…
The headset features individually adjustable IPD, interchangeable faceplates, and head tracking. But it does have downsides — at full resolution, it only runs at 60 Hz. Also, it only has three degrees of freedom (3DoF), which means it tracks looking up and down, left and right, and tilting the head left and right. He explained he didn’t bother equipping it with 6DoF as 3DoF was enough for his sim racing.

I wonder, too. But, the flavors of nature are ever changing, and also I think the ancient Israelites kind of inadvertently set their religion up in such a way that eventual division was kind of inevitable. Prophets can be born or inspired to deliver a message at any time at all, and a concept of the destruction and renewal of the world was noteworthy at least as far back as the Book of Daniel at ~200BCE. Check out Jewish Apocalypticism for a little more about that. But the transition from pantheon to monotheism that took place in the ancient Near East is a really interesting time period not only because of the really cool diversity of myths it produced but also because it took place at a time where history was just starting to be recorded, so there’s just so much cool interactions going on between cultures, a rapidly evolving and diversifying larger civilization, lots of languages with overlapping and phonetically-similar words but varying means of recording their language, religious leaders and their students often being among the very few who could read anything being documented (imagine the power imbalance that created).

Nice! Look for content about the Enuma Elish (which is basically like the Babylonian creation story) to hear all about Tiamat and their counterpart, Apsu (embodiment of fresh waters amongst the void) and their relationship followed by an eventual battle that ensues between descendants of Apsu and Tiamat, leading to a god named Marduk becoming the head of their pantheon (and also the god that raised Babylon from sand into a great city). From there, check out the wiki for tehom and if you’re looking for videos, peruse the online video warehouse of your pleasure for links between Babylonian Tiamat and Hebrew tehom and you will not be disappointed. I’m pretty sure Richard Elliot Friedman covers it in one of his lectures about the Hebrew Bible/OT, although I can’t recall exactly which one offhand.

Ancient Mesopotamia, hands down. You’ve got the Sumerians, the Babylonian empire, the Akkadian empire. There’s creation myths, flood myths, myths about great battles between the elder gods. Gilgamesh, Sargon, Hammurabi. Such cool artwork and artifacts were left behind for us to find. Friggin ziggurats. And they figured out writing, which has proven useful. Also they had cultural overlap with other notable societies like the ancient Israelites/Canaanites and Egyptians, which allowed for borrowing and retelling of stories, myths, and legends among the people of the time. Pieces of the story of Moses are apparent in Sargon’s personal account of his history. You can see lots of the Noah story in Gilgamesh, and also in Atrahasis. An elder, primordial god named Tiamat is an embodiment of sea water and its associated chaotic nature that existed in the void before creation, and is probably cognate with the Hebrew word “tehom” meaning “the abyss”.

Gotta hope I roll better stats next campaign damn

The self-driving cab, however, didn’t get dinged like you or us. Since there was no one operating the vehicle, the cops couldn’t issue a citation. But they did reach out to Waymo’s parent company Google to let them know about the glitch.

“Our citation books don’t have a box for ‘robot,'” the department said.

It frustrates me that Google doesn’t get a citation for this. It’s just another example of how laws don’t apply to the people pulling all the strings. They need to be just as accountable as anyone else, even if it’s robots doing the driving. Whoever is ultimately responsible for the unacceptable behavior needs to be held accountable, or they’ll learn they can keep doing unacceptable shit in new and creative ways without any real legal or financial risk for engaging in the bad behavior. If corporations are people, and corporate robots are doing things people get in trouble with the cops for, corporations need to be in trouble with the cops and the courts and feel the same heat.

I didn’t say which hour. This one isn’t looking good, though.
