If and when it becomes possible to surgically modify yourself into an actual transhuman type catgirl or kitsune, and you know the furries will be all over it, there will definitely be a conservative backlash.

Nah. I’ll die on that particular hill.

Really drained the strategic popcorn reserve I tell you hwhat.

If you enjoy drama, this is the place to be.

You forgot to end your sentence with ‘lol’. At least be consistent with your bad English.

That image is 100% the academic quadrangle at Simon Fraser University. Hah.

Just a small nit, I would say ‘much’ cheaper or ‘dramatically’ cheaper. Exponential refers to rate od change, not magnitude of change. Something increasing by 10% a year is exponentially increasing, something that’s just gotten bigger could be increasing linearly or not at all.

It’s pretty heartwarming seeing all his friends come together to help him get his shot. Dude is obviously terrified and struggling. Bravery is more about facing your fear than it is about objective danger.

The book was a comedy as well. Tons of great dry jokes. The two are not mutually exclusive.

At one point I rebuilt a server by fully abandoning the package database and reinstalling everything as overwrites. Converted a slackware install into a Debian install in situ by cannibalizing it from the inside out. Pretty proud of that one, even 20 years later.

edit: oh gods… more like 24.

Debian stable, I guess, has both people sleeping on cruise control. Fine until it stops being fine, and then a flurry of activity.

Edit: or maybe a train. Boring, except for updates and dist upgrades.

I’m okay with it as long as it’s not locked to the exclusive use of one entity.

Bíum bíum bambaló, Icelandic song. Lullaby.

F off, cleanshirt!

“Cake” in “let them eat cake” is “brioche”. I had thought that cake meant cheap chemically leavened bread-ish, but it actually was an out of touch elite being genuinely confused about bread shortages, not someone callously suggesting the peasants eat shittier food.

Also it probably wasn’t Marie Antoinette.

I believe they lacked the metallurgy to make high pressure steam vessels.

Super

Redhat 1997. Slackware, Storm Linux, then Debian 2001 to present. A brief year on the OSS Solaris release.

Impressive work, however you slice it.

In the show, gems are asexual, non gendered. They just use female pronouns for convenience.

They never really covered reproduction in depth, except that they’re crystals grown in rock substrate. They’re closer to computer than biological.
