I am sorry for the quality of the quality

Ok, so I'm a 38 year old uncircumcised Canadian male and on this issue, I have two opinions:

1.) Circumcision for moral, traditional, covenantial, or social cohesion reasons is child genital mutilation. Full stop, no second guesses...

2.) I have a larger-ish penis with a proportionally smaller frenulum and tighter foreskin. I am not bragging about size, I wish I was smaller because, when I get very aroused it can be quite painful. The foreskin frenulum pulls right against the tip of my penis and bends it down. If I were to excuse the frenulum and loosen my foreskin, I can imagine having sex when I am very erect would feel much better. This would be great because right now it feels like I'm trying to fuck with reigns on.

I have been exploring the idea of the loosening surgery, but obviously this is my choice, for aesthetic and pain management reasons.

The child has no choice, it's abuse. I have a choice, it's a medical procedure.

Now you can enjoy the book again for the first time!

The throughput and containment of the object is the criteria for classification here.

Can the object passing through the hole be contained by the medium of the object that is subject to the "hole" classification? If yes, then the object has two holes, one which the passing object passes through to enter the object, and one which is passed through to exit the object.

If the object passing through the object being classified cannot be contained entirely within the classification object medium, then the classification object has one hole.

This kind of classification relies upon the context of the item's usage, and is in fact a "contextually dependent" classification!

Take the straw for example:

When a straw is being used for drinking bubble tea, the straw has two holes when a boba is passing through. The straw has two holes for each ice crystal or clump of crystals that passes through.

Does the straw have two holes for a liquid? Good question! This is also a contextually dependent classification criteria, though this time it is a matter of reference frame! Do you consider a liqiud to be a macro expression of the fluid dynamics of the molecules comprising the medium? Then it is a whole, though I would suggest that the "whole" of the liquid in the container from which it is being drawn to be one "whole" and the liquid which is drawn into the straw during the vacuum action (from the initiation of the "pull" through to its conclusion) to be a new and unique "part" separated from the source volume and comprises a new "whole".

Ok, so NOW if the newly separated volume of liquid being drawn into the straw is less than the total volume of the straw, the straw has two holes (one hole being drawn upon, and one hole into which the newly created liquid volume is being drawn into.

Are you very thirsty? Have you drawn more liquid through the straw than the volume of the straw itself? You could then say the straw only had one hole for the duration of that pull!

On the other hand, if you are defining each molecule within the liquid medium to be its own object, then the straw always has two holes.

I don't personally subscribe to the notion that a straw is a single hole, since, in the abstract, my gut reaction is to define a hole as an absence of something, rather than a property of something else. Tools used to make holes (a shovel, an auger, a 3 hole punch, a gravitational singularity, etc.) all remove a part of the initial object, rather than "adding an absence" (ground media, paper circles, or the physical constants of dimensional spacetime, respectively).

Now that I'm thinking about it though, a straw is constructed by extrusion. The straw media is forced through a mold which defines the initial hole (the initially extruded straw media, which, as side note, is almost certainly trimmed to be cleanly cut to present as clean and uniform tip) and then subsequently, each straw would be severed at standard intervals to make the straw object. While considering this, I feel like it provides even more support for the "two hole argument" as each end of each straw must be independently and intentionally "formed" during the process of manufacturing.

Thoughts?

I've got my vault automated pretty well at this point. I honestly don't know what I would do without it.

For those of you that are wondering, everything is markdown independent, all of my plugins address UI or vault automation processes that leave all of my information entirely portable.

The same as any other accumulation process. Those unable to sustain themselves fall off the bottom and those with any remaining wealth are restratified into a hierarchy of the most to least wealthy.

The cycle begins again!

I repeat, I remain your most obedient servant!

I shall be adopting "like triffids" into my everyday vernacular from now on.

Yes I need that sand to stars wallpaper. If you would be so kind as to provide a link to a copy of the highest fidelity you have access to, I would be eternally grateful.

I remain your most obedient servant, Ranta.

I'm going to need you to drop that pape here brother.

Yes, thank you, this.

All the criticism for artificial intelligence and deployments of it like ChatGPT right now I see as people not being able to hold something in their hand. This is far more of an abstraction than a new phone and when people can't grock that immediately or they play with it for 5 minutes and dismiss it because it gave them a form-fill looking answer when they gave it some para-literate 5 word question, then they're obviously going to be unimpressed and walk away.

If you spend any amount of time actually trying to figure out what to say to it in order to get it to produce actual information it's one of the most compelling new ways to interface with a computer since the MOAD and I would imagine ultimately will be the most compelling in the end.

Like put it this way, I don't know if this will actually end up producing AGI but, like... This thing is a 3 year old.

And it's a 3 year old that can write basic coding implementations and give you at least, maybe in some cases much better than, high school level comprehension s of most of the English (and quickly building to other languages) written world.

This is the dumbest it will ever be...

Did you make this mockup or has the current state of American legal reporting devolved into a Sportsnet style scoreboard?

Super R-type is a game I owned as a kid and have no idea who got it for me or how it ended up in my collection.

It was always the "difficult" game in my collection as a child.

That's awesome! My wife and I got into Puzzles during the pandemic so I started designing puzzles I wanted to spend time putting together.

I would love some feedback if there are any I particular you enjoyed!

Thank you! I really enjoyed making those ones in particular!
