You may have heard the aphorism: There are more stars in the heavens than grains of sand in all the beaches on Earth.

Lovely, yes? But… is it true?

I did the math, and spoilers: Bet on sand.

pjohanneson,

@badastro You talked about beaches and then calculated based on ocean shorelines. Did you include or exclude beaches on lakes, too? (Or would that be a rounding error swallowed up by, as you mentioned, the fact there's more sand in the Sahara than all the beaches combined?)

New York Times articles be like:

Important Question: Why is this image so overtly sexual?

pjohanneson,

@RickiTarr Unrelated: If you haven't read the sequel to E.T.—titled E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet—you really should.

What's a good movie to watch with your Mom?

pjohanneson,

@RickiTarr Triplets of Belleville, maybe.

Whenever I see "art" like this I always have to zoom in, and make sure it's AI, because the thought of an artist actually putting in effort for something like this gives me indigestion.

pjohanneson,

@RickiTarr Someone more clever than I pointed out that Jesus' gun of choice would be a nail gun, since He's a carpenter.

what’s the name for that feeling when a SaaS product has a delayed workflow that takes such an inconsistent and unpredictable amount of time that you suspect the automation is fake and a human is behind the scenes configuring things manually

I started my week going to the dentist for the first time in seven years. No cavities! Dentist says my teeth look great

pjohanneson,

@MLE_online Did you say "See you in 2031!" as you left?

I believe I found a CD that’s not yet on archive.org—to the ripper, Batman

pjohanneson,

@thomasfuchs Plot twist: it is in fact on archive.org, because you put it there in 2009, the previous time you found it

Pro Tip: If you ever have to make up a fake company to use in a presentation, make it a dog-themed company.

It makes choosing stock art vastly more fun than choosing art for a bank or ... pretty much anything.

Don’t mind me, I’m just over here drawing Juggalo faces on Family Circus characters.

    @flockofnazguls Diskettes, I think; I remember it was Slackware.

    Edit Just checked, and it seems like Slackware's still around.

    Current status: watching the Wizard of Oz mini-episode of Futurama. Impressive how they pack a two-hour movie into like 8 minutes.

    "Who needs courage when you have a gun?"

    pjohanneson,

    @alexstandiford "Go home to your dirt-farming, teetotaling relatives."

    pjohanneson,

    @alexstandiford It's one of the top 3 Futurama episodes, for sure. #1 will always be "Roswell That Ends Well", of course.

    pjohanneson,

    @alexstandiford Yeah, 300 Big Boys rounds out the top three. (That's the one where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee, right? And stops time.)
