Fuck up a book for me please
  • That’s what cliff notes are for. Explaining the background and context so you can better understand what you’re reading in, say, Hamlet.

    Not just simplifying it and removing potentially relevant material.

    For example in the example material:

    • They weren’t just younger. They were more vulnerable. That conveys a lot of meaning. Even the word “more” implies a current vulnerability.

    • Advice isn’t just something told or conveyed. It’s something given for the benefit of the recipient. I told my child to get milk isn’t the same as giving them advice about drinking milk that’s set out.

    • Turning over in my mind ever since -> I still think about is the closest it got to being right. Even then, though, turning over conveys a more meditation/consideration than just thinking about something.

  • How to make a month go by as fast as possible other than sleeping
  • Audiobooks. Libby app for local library and countless audiobooks already covered by your library card.

    I’ve listened to/read so many books. Short ones that are 4 hours or so to entire series where each book is about 20 hours or so.

    Long drive? Audiobook. Yard work? Audiobook.

    I find myself looking forward to the mundane chores because it gives me an excuse to get back into whatever story/book I’m enjoying.

  • Is this a thing in any slicers?
  • Not natively no. What you’re looking for is this

    Achieve true 3D printing with non planar slicing Note: Check the update below

    Conical Slicing: A different angle of 3D printing

    Not something easily done with slicers and there are hacks to do things like this but nothing that works out of the box and it’s a tough challenge with various nozzles, toolheads, material shrink properties

    Edit: More recent update that could be of interest

    Non-planar 3D printing in a modern slicer thanks to the community

  • none slip surface.
  • I’ve had some luck with attaching silicone pie mat to prints that I wanted to have a grippy surface.

    Downside is it picks up any grime, dust, dirt easily. No biggie when you throw a silicone mat in the dishwasher, more of an issue when you can’t do the same with something 3d printed.

    Another consideration could be large furniture non slip pads. Something made for putting on the feet of a couch/sofa for example, cut to size?

  • I just realized all my teachers use ubuntu
  • Code and snippets to analyze data work well when you can send chunks of it to multiple servers (think analyzing the effect of weather patterns).

    Since a lot of that stuff is running on Linux (similar to cloud computing) it makes sense that people that write function/scripts/utilities would already be comfortable in that environment and use it as their daily driver.

  • exponential growth of wolverines
  • You’re right so in that case, a more realistic danger is that you can sufficiently cause him to lose his memory and then convince him that he’s fighting on your side when he heals enough but with no previous memories.

  • exponential growth of wolverines
  • Not to mention the whole bones that can’t be broken because of the super strong metal.

    So… pre bone infusion Wolverine maybe? Although if he lost an arm and it grew into a new person would they have a functioning brain?

    For that matter, even if he didn’t, would a healed wolverine remember who he is if his brain suffered enough trauma?

    Which opens up a Pandora’s box of issues such as CTE’s j side his encase skull. Sure his brain can heal that damage but the memories, etc would be gone right?

    [EFF] User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer
    www.eff.org User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer

    A growing number of people are experimenting with federated alternatives to social media like Mastodon, either by joining an “instance” hosted by someone else or creating their own instance by running the free, open-source software on a server they control. (See more about this movement and joining....

    User Generated Content and the Fediverse: A Legal Primer

    I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as

    Copyright/DMCA Safe Harbor CSAM Law enforcement/warrants/info inquiries

    And not included (since it’s focus is on US legal issues) but I’m curious about would be other regulations such as EU user data retention
