I just want to let you know that when I was director of production at a multimedia studio, one of the rules in my ux design "bible" was that an interface must never present an "are you sure" prompt to a Quit action. Yes there were fights over it.

Apparently not, because I detest webcomics. And people think they are wildly funny and so entertaining. I think once or twice in 10 years I've smirked at a webcomic.

You read the article and realize that no, it is evidence for precisely fuck all.

I work in social services and without outing myself completely I can say that I have intimate knowledge of these systems.

The number of detox beds that we have is approximately 20 for each gender (including non-binary). So we're talking realistically 40 detox beds.

That is a complete fucking joke.

In some sense, I agree with a 72-hour detention, but not until we have all the other supports in place. Because just detaining somebody without wraparound services and a pathway to future healing, you're just creating more destruction.

That's a great point, and it's an observable phenomenon of people showing up and talking about how they were banned from reddit, and a quick perusal of comment and post history shows exactly why they were banned - because they're assholes.

And let's not forget tasty hydrolyzed something or other

It's a little different with beef bones, because a good portion of them are already roasted just from cooking the meat. But I'm no broth expert I'm just saying what I do.

Canned food in general makes me gag, but that's just because I learned to cook from scratch a few years ago when I lost a lot of weight, and there's no going back. It's like, once you chop up fresh ripe tomatoes and make salsa from scratch, and then you have something out of a preserved jar you just want to puke it out lol... Same goes for soup, I just don't want to taste what's in those cans anymore

I don't know if it's me or them, or both, but I'm leaning towards both sides

Everything and every platform has become gamified and there's no room for true artistic creation anymore.

 

While re-listening to Bitches Brew tonight it occurred to me, there's never been anything that sounds quite like it since, and there never will be again.

What are your favorite unicorn albums?

 

Come on, you know what I'm saying.

 

“Because 3D printing can produce complex geometries, save material, and enable unique designs, we see this printable alloy as something that could also be used in advanced vacuum pumps, high-end automobiles, and cooling devices for data centers,” adds John Hart, the Class of 1922 Professor and head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.

Here's the paper published in The Journal of Advanced Materials

 

A neat video from the 1930's demonstrating animation with synthetically-generated music

The synthetic sounds are generated by variophone, an optical synthesizer that used sound waves cut onto rotating cardboard disks.

Pioneering work in graphic sound was underway in 1926

 

This is our work cat, Fancy Pants

 

He was an amusing sales guy that got into the TV advertising game early in the 50's. He found great success from barraging radio and TV with ads, especially late night TV, and half-ass daytime radio ads that were so bad they were good

With a disarming and quirky personality, he wore an inappropriate outfit and tall cowboy hat. He'd refer to the furniture store as the corral, call the viewers partner and always end with his catch-phrase 843 Main Street - C'Mon Down!. None of the cowboy presentation made sense given our city's culture, but perhaps it help him stand out!

His gag was constantly blaming his dopey No. 1 Son for leaving the furniture-making machine on overnight hence the blow-out sale (You'd think after taking so many losses he'd install an timer kill switch on the machine or get his son help, but I digress)

He was clearly not concerned about quality in the radio ads in particular, and you could just tell most were first-take probably to shave every cent off ad costs. He often was too leisurely and charming in the first 15 seconds, then realizing he's running out of time spoke faster and faster to get out the sales points, until he has but a second left to belt out his closing catch phrase, good fun

His philosophy in business was "give the customer more than they expect" which I heard him explain on a local AM radio time-filler interview one random weekend, but that really stuck with me and truly served me well in my life!

Mr Hill passed away many years ago but his memory is still strong here. The original building at 843 Main Street is gone due to arson but few will forget the impact this humble furniture salesman had in our city's culture

I know nothing about this but apparently most people are fully abreast of the situation

 

Random memory resurfaced of being in the barber's chair. I was 30 years old, Linda had been cutting my hair since I was 3.

After the cut for the first time ever, she ran the trimmers over the backs of my ears. That had never happened before.

I immediately realized in that moment I'm old and I now have old man hair on my ears
