[Obligatory] Your mom.

What if you take off the costume? Humans aren’t entirely bilaterally symmetrical (at least not on the inside) and obviously not radially symmetrical so the paradox continues.

I saw a comment a while ago where someone calculated the equivalent wealth of fictional dragons (e.g. by estimating the dimensions of Smaug’s vast gold trove in The Hobbit) and determined that real billionaires are far worse hoarders of money. Like 1000x worse.

I should try to find that comment again.

I don’t know what GOG galaxy is but I assume it’s a storefront like Steam.

Yep, basically that. No you don’t need it to launch games, I would skip it if this is your only game from GOG.

Sounds like if you run by opening Galaxy and hitting play, it won’t be the native version and will run through Rosetta 2 but if you run it from your applications folder it’s the native version. This is a bit odd because that makes it sound like by default what you have installed is BOTH versions which sounds like an awful waste of disk space

I don’t game on Mac these days but that seems very plausible.

If you do want another launcher option, Heroic works on Mac. I’m not sure if it gives any different options on what version to install. https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

That’s sort of why I asked. I thought I was missing something but no, the meme is apparently assuming academic professionals are dummies. Not to say that we should expect nuance and robust portrayals from a meme.

They say he was Hell Bent for Leatherback turtles

Thanks. I suspect a mathematician would consider the latter point too though.

Can somebody explain the difference between the mathematician and the scientist parts of this?

I disagree.

There’s probably a better argument that either:

1. Political assassinations (as a subset of misnamed ‘vigilante justice’) are never good and we shouldn’t reinforce that precedent, or

2. That person would be a hero to the planet and the future, not just present day America.

Yeah but like any successful politician he’ll readily compromise his principles in order to hold onto power.

Sadly a lot of news outlets don’t make that distinction either.

Dare I ask, why? I mean obviously meth addicts aren’t known for their shrewd decisions in general, but is there some sensory or cognitive change in particular that compels them to put foreign objects in their butts more than say, alcoholics would?

Many are from a huge list (some modified) but I picked out favorites that seemed fitting for a pet and it was actually easier to just retype them. Some were my ideas (e.g. Lt. Dangle because I love Reno 911). I didn’t want duplicates so alphabetizing was the simplest way to avoid that. And yes I giggled pretty much the whole time 😁

That’s an extremely generous definition of booty if it includes furniture 😂

Corporal Crayons?

That’s actually amazing that we have eclipse shots from Mars. Anyone know how it was taken? What instrument?

That was my immediate thought too.

I’ll second this entirely.

Prey 2006 is a slightly gory boomer shooter with interesting topsy-turvy levels, gravity tricks, a few cool enemies and guns and powers, and a campy alien abduction / invasion story. It might be a little underrated in its genre. Definitely fun.

But Prey 2017 was more of a clever stealth action / psych horror title in the vein of Deus Ex and of course System Shock. Brilliant interconnected level design, a deep story, a good (though not super original) roster of guns and superpowers, some tricky puzzles, and a few interesting and enemies. It gets a good amount of love but I still think it deserves wider recognition as an excellent game.

It’s frankly stupid that they have the same name.

Windows 7 Ultimate for me. I still kept it as a boot option on my main PC until about a year ago because I thought I still needed it for a couple windows apps and games.

I tried Win8 at one point and hated the changes. I also tried Win10 and one of those “forced bloody updates” bricked my machine so I said ‘fuck that’ for good.

I’ve dabbled in Linux for 20 years, and run Ubuntu on my living room HTPC for at least a dozen. My main PC runs EndeavourOS now and even gaming has been pretty great.
