My kid reassembled an owl pellet and framed it in science class. Looks pretty cool

There’s this theory that if an infinite amount of Bored Apes make games for an infinite amount of time at one point they’ll make a decent one. I don’t buy it.

This is fucking revolting. I’m so full of bile this morning and I’m trying hard not to smear it all over the place. I’m sincerely worried for all of the people this presidency of sick fucks threatens. I wish I could cram all of you in my small apartment north of the border and cook the biggest batch of oatmeal cookies ever. I might have to avoid news for a while to find my footing again. What’s the point of being informed if I can’t cope.

It’s a safe bet.

At the library I’d say.

Other tigers?

This picture is kind of misleading though. Much of the photo’s creepiness comes from mistakenly assimilating the red dots to its eyes. Ants have those big familiar insect eyes we are familiar with. Quote from Snopes:

This is a closeup of a section of the ant’s face but not the full face. In a text message, Kavaliauskas [the photographer] told us, “This is just the front part of the portrait […] the eyes are already in the shadow area. […] if the eyes are illuminated, all the mystery disappears and the photograph appears ordinary and uninteresting.”

Wait what? US population is 345 millions. How do you even celebrate Halloween that requires three pumpkins per person? Plenty of people don’t even have a porch.

Woohoo!

Haha they’re called like that because of their shape right? Right?

So I went on Wikipedia and apparently Ornithogalum adseptentrionesvergentulum and its genus Ornithogalum are part of the Asparagaceae family which is known as the asparagus family, not to be confused with the Asparagus genus, of which it is but a subset. Gotta love when they fuck with people like that.

No it’s not.

Pick GDP, manufacturing output or whatever metric and look it up: Russia is not even close to the US. China is the one playing in the same league as the Americans.

As for open source being dominated by the US, the stats for Linux development don’t give that portrait at all.

I have the utmost respect for ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley, I’m happy it’s a success and I’ve played it plenty. I have to say though, there’s something in the game that leads some of us straight into a minmaxing management race-against-the-clock frenzy. I think I could play it casually, but I’d need an unwavering discipline… and that’s the problem.

I’d need to be paid a non negligible amount to try and wring some speck of usefulness out of this thing.

A beautiful word we learned from the first nations, probably the Wendat.

Good luck assembling, you’ll love PC gaming I’m sure!

Just in case you don’t know already: https://pcpartpicker.com/ is an amazing site to plan a build. You can put all the parts you’re aiming to buy and it’ll tell you if there are any compatibility issues. You can share your parts list with a community too and ask for specific advice.

Concerning parts, XFX AMD GPUs are very well built and go for a reasonable price. Their 6000 series have great cost/performance value imho. I have a 6750XT in a PC connected to a 55’ TV and it’s hardly breaking sweat provided I don’t go overboard with game settings. For a normal computer screen you could have plenty of fun out of a 6650 XT I’m sure.

Could you get Amazon delivery from say, amazon.it? It could give you a chance to find what you’re looking for.

Of all the ways one would harvest a botnet for propaganda, asking the victims nicely is surely the most cynical yet.

Do you guys not have phones?

I wonder how much they’ll charge for it.
