In the winter, just walking can be enough for my diamond-cutters. Reusable pasties have been a godsend

You got boost power

You got black bean

How so? I’m going to tinker with both regardless, but I’m curious to know what you found lacking with Gemini so that I can evaluate it with a more critical eye.

Welp, time to start figuring out how to use Gemini (or alternatively RETVRN to Gopher).

In reality, the best parts of the web are (and have always been) text-based. I mean, obviously we have lots of fun with our emotes on Hexbear, but the essential feature is being able to communicate with each other via text. My favorite little corners of the internet are inevitably someone’s niche blog or fansite which is almost 100% text-based. And, pivot-to-video be damned, the most effective and useful technical tutorials are text-based, especially since they can be easily updated and maintained.

It’s an existing legal term (hence the citations)–I hadn’t heard that they succeeded in getting the case dismissed, though.

This is 2001 BBCode forum shit

edit: alternatively, 2009 RockYou shit

Pretty neat research, actually!

Davis states that the original source of the tale was Olayuk Narqitarvik. It was allegedly Olayuk’s grandfather in the 1950s who refused to go to the settlements and thus fashioned a knife from his own feces to facilitate his escape by skinning and disarticulating a dog. Davis has admitted that the story could be “apocryphal”, and that initially he thought the Inuit who told him this story was “pulling his leg”.

That’s a long payoff for a practical joke, but totally worth it.

Also, unsurprisingly, they won the 2020 Ig Nobel Prize in Materials Science (lol) for this one (video of the ceremony, Ig Nobel “lecture” from the lead author (also the primary pooper))

Think you’re talking past each other: [thing] delenda est is common parlance here on Hexbear as a general term of disparagement (comes from Carthago delenda est), so by putting that in the post OP was indicating she didn’t want any solutions that require Windows 11.

That being said, apparently there are ways to get WSA to work on Windows 10: see WSAPatch and the script mentioned here which purports to automate a lot of the WSAPatch steps. I can’t vouch for them at all, so do your due diligence and all that before proceeding.

edit: also apparently Microsoft is discontinuing support for WSA in six months. Thanks, Microsoft, very cool!

Written a bit more explicitly (although I kinda handwaved away the final term–the point is that you end up with one unpaired term which goes to zero)

edit: I was honestly confused about how exactly this related to the question, but seeing the comment from @yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de (not visible from Hexbear) which showed that the first sum in the image is equivalent to

the sum from n = 1 to ∞ of 2/(n * (n + 1))

made things clear (just take the above, put 2 in the numerator, and you get a result of 2)

Obligatory Gianni Matragrano version (couldn’t find the original on his channel, idk if it’s from another platform or the video is no longer available or what)

one guy I genuinely kinda like on a personality level is literally married to a Council on Foreign Relations ghoul.

Damn, TIL about Deviant Ollam’s wife…

Facebook (when that was still a platform young people used). I would obsessively scroll through it for hours each day, basically trying to look at and comment on EVERYTHING. On a whim, I decided to take a break from it for a month. By the time the month was up, I realized I didn’t miss it at all, and that was that. One of the big takeaways was that I thought that I was forming relationships with the people I’d comment back and forth with, but in reality these were people who I would never hang out with outside of school and barely even talk with in school (if at all); it was all just superficial, and I was better off spending time talking to my actual friends.

It wasn’t that bad, but in high school I mindlessly got into the habit of drinking a few cups of Coke each day (I think it started because I would get a 2 liter whenever I’d order pizza). I quit it pretty much cold turkey, and not only did I stop drinking it at home, I no longer order it at restaurants either, which is something I did ever since I was a little kid. The idea of just buying a bottle of soda and drinking it is straight honestly grosses me out now even though getting a can or bottle from a vending machine was something I’d do without thinking. The one exception is when I’m pigging out at the movies with a bucket of popcorn, but that’s pretty rare.

The original French quote appears to be from here. Stories link to another tweet (since privated) as the source of the translation, which quotes the first tweet, but it only differs from the embedded Google Translate result by a single word (“tasty” vs. “satisfying”). Here’s a video of the press conference with more context and a similar translation of that quote.

Whoa, that looks pretty sick. Definitely will give it a shot next time the need arises!

A good example of this in action is detailed in a book called “how the workers’ parliaments saved the Cuban Revolution”, by Pedro Ross.

That sounds like a fascinating book! I’ve always been interested in the nitty gritty of how the Cuban democratic process works, and this book seems accessible and is just under 200 pages (not including the appendices/bibliography) so I might actually get through it.

Here’s a temporary download if anyone wants to grab it (it’s also just on libgen if you prefer to find it yourself)

Here’s an insta of an actual Japanese wildlife photographer chock-full of great photos of this bird (among others)
