Anarchist, autistic, engineer, and Certified Professional Life-Regretter. I mosty comment bricks of text with footnotes, so don’t be alarmed if you get one.

You posted something really worrying, are you okay?

No, but I’m not at risk of self-harm. I’m just waiting on the good times now.

I mean how else are you supposed to unclog your cock?

How do I deal with people not reading things?

I’m autistic. This problem shows up for me all over the place, to the point that I typically don’t recommend reading anymore except when strictly necessary. However, it is showing up now because I’m working with people on a project (and generally everyone I have worked with at school so far) who will not read, particularly...

So I was going to write a comment about how you actually can adjust weight and mass independently based on W = mg if you can control gravity, and that comment relied on the assumption that kg measures mass and lb measures weight…

Except the latter is not true! In US customary and other systems that use the avoirdupois pound, 1 lbm := 0.45359237 kg exactly. However, there is also a pound-force, which is lbf := (1 lb) × (gravitational acceleration in ft/s^2 ). This gives rise to the slug, yet another unit of mass defined as slug := (1 lbf) ÷ (1 ft/s^2 ) = 32.17404 lbm. I actually used this unit in my differential equations class because my professor was really old-school.

The source of the confusion is that the “pound” as a unit of measurement (really one of several units) predates the distinction between mass and weight.

Moral of the story: if handed US customary units, just convert to metric (SI). And I guess I have to write lbf or lbm now whenever I’m forced to use US customary.

Home is God-tier, just as useful as End when editing stuff.

How do you feel about Tom Scott going on hiatus after 10 years? (www.youtube.com)

I’ll admit I’m a little lost/down, it came out of nowhere! Over the years he’s produced an endless stream of genuinely interesting videos. I can’t really think of any other video hosts that can make a wide range of topics sound so interesting....

I’ll admit I’m a little lost/down, it came out of nowhere!

Not to be a jackass, but I distinctly remember watching a video at the beginning of July about how he would leave in six months, and he even said his last video would go up on January 1st. It looks like the video has since been privated.

What are your thoughts?

I’m going to miss him as long as he’s not making YouTube videos, but everyone deserves a break. Still, I selfishly hope he returns soon or at all, but if not then that’s good too.

Thanks for the good times, Tom.

I have wildly more patience for Lemmy’s glitches than I do for Reddit’s. Lemmy’s devs are working on a shoestring budget with just a few people trying to prop up a whole social network. The project is still pretty early in its life cycle.

No Brigham Young Virginity Club, I am not currently a sinner, but I sure wish I was!

Technically it should be “Have you attended, or are you attending, a college/university?”.

Let’s just say you shouldn’t put a flimsy cotton stick in your ear unless you trust it’ll come out in one piece. Just don’t.

RANT: out of gas

I’m fucking tired of explaining to business ghouls that I AM FUCKING DESPERATE. I’M INTERVIEWING WITH YOU BECAUSE I WANT TO SURVIVE. I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT MY DREAMS OR WHETHER THIS JOB OR YOUR COMPANY LINES UP WITH MY CAREER GOALS. WE ARE HOLY-SHIT PAST THE POINT WHERE I’M ABLE TO BE CHOOSY. ALL YOU FUCKING NEED TO...

Is it wrong to pirate movies I've purchased digitally and load onto my Plex server?

Just would like to have a discussion on the topic. I’ve purchased around 20ish movies/shows on Vudu, and my wife has grown to be unhappy with Vudu’s UI and especially how the watch progress works. I am curious what some others thoughts on this are. My initial thoughts are I recognize I’ve purchased a license to watch the...

Fuck ALL advertisements. Yes, even “unobtrusive” ones, especially yours. If I want your shit, I will find you. If I appreciate your shit, I’ll pay you for your time. If you want to connect, I’m all ears. Otherwise, fuck off capitalists, fuck off advertisers, and fuck off useful idiots who want to waste my finite lifespan in this miserable universe showing me ads.

If any of my relatives ever read this, you have my full permission to do whatever stupid shit with my ashes you want, the stupider the better. Or if you want to dunk on or generally make a joke out of my passing, that’s encouraged too. It would be a nice send-off.

Waves Audio Ltd

Not like I needed another reason not to use their plugins but thank you for providing me one anyways 😂.

An impulse buy of a $20 micro wireless Bluetooth keyboard. Holy shit. Rock-solid design, ludicrously long battery life, excellent signal transmission, a replaceable battery with the option to use AAAs, a usable trackpad with sensitivity settings. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with this device as an electrical engineer.

Now I can actually get real work/play done when I’m too depressed to get out of bed. It’s also really useful for working with a Raspberry Pi. That plus a cheap LCD means I can just use it like an ordinary desktop.

If anyone is interested in this product, ask for a link and I’ll post it in the comments.
