Not very Apollonian of you!

TBF all the manned planes are made by Boeing…

It’s probably temporary, this has happened before. But it does seem like most major AA sites are down.

This is a useful tool to track the main instances: https://open-slum.org/

I’ve actually heard this in a more egregious form. I once heard someone claim that sarcasm is an anglosphere phenomenon and someone that isn’t a native English speaker would never be able to understand sarcasm.

Well, going after low hanging fruit, people that think shoplifting is a major expense for most retail stores that would cause locations to shut down. Obviously self checkout and how it makes abuses and shoplifting easier shows that that is a much smaller cost than just the labor of paying a cashier. It is always advantageous for PR reasons to blame crime and shoplifting rather than a lack of profitability or demand for shutting down locations.

But on a more serious note, it is a lack of curiosity or unwillingness to challenge really simplified narratives about common facets of daily living. A more original answer might be the lack of ability to pick up on jokes or sarcasm. I was always shocked about some people’s inability to pick up on sarcasm, even when the statements would make no sense or be obviously wrong, if they were done sincerely. There is an awareness of context and meta-awareness that is what I usually identify with intelligence, as opposed to expertise in a specific domain.

uhh, that was colonialism and not capitalism. /s

Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. Mostly due to the decline in Matlab.

Are you telling me that all the Plutonium-235 that I need could be found in the Walmart grocery section?

I am still getting updates nearly every day, so it must be maintained.

I would say the most leftest right, just because of noting what the adjective and noun are.

I still use X because at least last time I tried (admittedly over a year ago) some of my apps didn’t work right on Wayland (KLayout, if I remember correctly).

The Great Man just decided it should collapse.

fun fact that I probably shared before, but my university had a physics class called estimations of scale, where you did order of magnitude estimations, usually of things really large like galaxies or small like particles, and then put them into a scale that is intuitive and made sense to you to imagine. One person I worked with did the length of his dick for the length scale (though he used something else for homework he had to turn in, probably football fields). The milky way is ~1.7*10^17 dicks across apparently.

Chives ar are tasty, good problem to have.

I stumbled upon Russian Cybernetics in some google search related to the academic discipline of cybernetics. I like it as background music because it is mostly a very mellow electronic music. And I don’t speak Russian, so most of the lyrics aren’t distracting and mentally filtered out. Though some songs have english lyrics.

"Look… if… the other team wants to win… they need to score more points… than the opposing team.

A real geologist should give a real answer, but more or less it is due to how the molten elements and molecules sorted out back when the earth was younger and hotter. It has a lot to do with relative densities, melting points and propensity to mix with other materials. Everything heavier than helium and trace amounts of lithium are “star dust”, the geology of earth is how that coalesces together and then combines and separates out in geological processes.
