This feels interesting for the same reasons scorigami was an interesting thing. There are many ways to get a final score of 21-18, and I really wonder if this is a first.

Honestly this is where my headspace is at. I see all the memes and jokes and they just make me sadder.

Well my first recommendation was going to be Ancillary Justice, but there’s also Artemis by Andy Weir! It’s been a minute since I’ve read it but I don’t immediately recall it snacking of a “men writing women” feel.

Edit: Not super SciFi, but like steampunk fantasy maybe… Another option might be Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.

Second Edit: Whatever you do DONT read Hyperion. Oof that one was one of the most ridiculous examples of “men writing women” I have read, although he notably grew as the series progressed.

Mmm a fellow v8 lover I see. I could drink gallons of that salty goodness if left alone near the fridge.

Hey it sounds like you work with some good people :)

Man I’m sure there is some culture I could have been raised in that would have resulted in me finding that appealing and all…. But I would probably vomit if I drank any of that.

I’m doing my part!

It’s actually got traction in industry where we were already exploring AR for things like using 3d models to enhance maintenance on large facility equipment.

Compared to the value prop of increased reliability and enhanced frontline accessibility of consumable model data its cost is not a barrier and its quality is a MASSIVE step up from the equipment we had.

I’ve heard about it being used in high cost per unit sales experiences too, like jets or whatnot, it haven’t seen that directly.

I just use whatever the machine at work has. So $0 lol

I’ve recently discovered that if you drill a hole in your lens cap and leave it on, that improves your aperture control. You should try it.

Idk as a parent and a professional technologist my primary takeaway here was that adversity breeds creativity and learning and your parents attempts to restrict your internet access, coupled with your natural desire to explore things in private, resulted in you probably learning some valuable life skills and behaviors that have likely helped set you up for some level of professional success.

I like your picture.

I know it’s not feasible, but diverting all of our military aid from Israel to Ukraine would be amazing.

Ever since reading about her at a table with Putin and Flynn at a Russian state propaganda outlets fundraiser during the initial Trump election, and her subsequently getting significant boosts and support from Russia during the 2016 election….

I just can’t trust her. Even if she was just getting played for a fool by the company she kept, that’s a level of dangerously ignorant that isn’t appropriate in a political leader in my opinion. That’s giving her significant benefit of the doubt, the worse case is that she knew exactly what she was doing.

Nice, more please.

A large manufacturing facility I do some work adjacent to recently installed a massive many acres large solar facility to power the plant. Hopefully the experiment goes well and demonstrates an economic advantage that incentivizes others to follow.

I LOVE pickled carrots with a bunch of habanero in the jar. Spicy pickled carrots are delicious.

Will be interesting to see if knife laws like this have a measurable impact, it could serve as a proxy to give us better data about what may and may not work elsewhere, for example firearms in the US.
