I love coming back to random responses because I still take a good 10 seconds squinting at the image trying to remember what it says

Might be off-topic since it seems that many here prefer Japanese LNs, but I’m currently reading:

• Leveling with the Gods - power-scaling regression story, I thought that the pacing was incredibly fast but it still kept everything coherent. The main story has finished, but the side story is still going on, which I would argue is nearly as interesting as the main story. The side characters enrich the story so much despite the entire novel taking a more serious tone, there’s still really great moments of “this is what I’ve been fighting for.” My friend has described it as “Solo Max Level Newbie but more serious” (also a good read btw)

• Level Up with Skills - main story still not finished, this is basically the opposite of The World After The Fall in that the MC ABUSES the system and is getting overpowered by being scrupulous essentially. There’s not many very good points, but it also doesnt really do anything wrong IMO. Very fast paced and a really enjoyable read. Very serious tone with less humor than Leveling with the Gods but with a lot of interesting powers (suffers a tiny bit from “chosen one” trope and it feels like a lot really does fall into MC’s hands, but I’ve read enough power-scaling that I don’t mind it)

I mean I don’t particularly hate having to compile everything myself, and your point about minimum requirements should’ve hit me wayyyy sooner. I really only planned to try RISC-V on my laptop since I only use it for productivity purposes anyways

Guys it’s OK I’m not a vampire, I 10x the garlic in every recipe I come across

So is it [bloːhaj]? I was trying to say [bloːhɑj] but [ɑ] feels perhaps odd next to the glide?

Completely an inference from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Swedish so I may have fucked up the phonotactics

It’s been a long time since my Field Methods, class, but I remember that (Central Atlas) Tamazight had some interesting pragmatics because it seemed to have both a nominal and verbal forms for adjectives, including color. We got some cool sayings that pertained to associating color and action.

Alas, it was also a very BAD quality Field Methods class. Our prof couldn’t even figure out the region (because of poor elicitation choices) and it turns out the way the elicitation was being done, our consultant gave us SVO instead of the normal VSO 😭 (but still grammatically correct? But infelicitous). But you know, bad profs r a story for another time lol

I keep seeing people put random content on PH and go viral, and atp I think it’s time I start an abstract algebra course on OF (wait that’s just tuition…)

Praying the spirit of William Harrison occupies him today 😔

What is stable? I just run nix flake update then brew a coffee to accompany me for the next 12 hours

C for [ˌt͡ʃɛ.kʰɪ.sl̥oʊ̯.ˈvɑ.kʰi.ə] (Yes I did narrow transcription for the purpose of making it look worse 💀)

I think the point of big data is to collect enough information to extrapolate other qualities about whatever you want to know, so if everyone is on the list then you have no patterns to go off of besides “on Earth” or “in X country”.

Side comment: if 99% of people were on the list, the the govt could just oppress everyone with a 99% accuracy rate. It’s entirely possibly they could pick a proportion drastically lower than 99%

I think it’s kind of funny that they mention to allow the flat earth comments when just previously saying that they want to prevent cult-like behavior; flat-eathers won’t listen despite the evidence. Then again, verifiability doesn’t seem to be holding strong these days

I have quite literally dreamed about running neo/fastfetch 😭

I quite literally did this yesterday, but it’s OK, my roommates already did before me :)

You know, this ain’t so bad

I seriously thought I was reading Spanish at first

I wonder if such a situation could occur if we were in some huge medium where Cherenkov radiation could occur

Hmmmm, I guess that the premise was probably wrong then, since the object necessarily has to have mass and travel slower than c (I mean, a massless object would be constrained the by c anyways). The gravitational lensing is a good addition! I have no idea how I forgot, but I remember a hs physics class where this came up for new telescope images

I always just used my left hand with the thumb and pinky as the y and x axes respectively, then the in-between fingers just help me visualize which “point” is higher (we only have two options to choose from if they’re not equal anyways)
