@futurebird justices of the Supreme Court of Canada wear red robes trimmed with white fur. Santa suits. I don't know the detailed history. It's possible they had to hear cases in an unheated Ottawa shack for a few decades before the court building was completed.

@m3 “what is yarn?” once started an argument on a fiber arts forum I like that is still raging to this day- but I know facebook has nothing as interesting as that in mind—and yet! What *is* yarn??? 🧶

@kelpana @xgranade @futurebird "Roko's Basilisk" is Pascal's Wager."The Singularity" is Evangelical rapture."Recursive simulated reality" is Mormon eternal progression.

@futurebird Oh wow that is so cool. Reminds me a bit of Nancy Whang's MicroKorg setup which is also several machines into a cool custom enclosure.

Inexperience and nerves showing. Goes for both coach and players. Playoffs test teams. They either grow or become road kill.

@futurebird Which is more moral: you carrying an umbrella or your head getting wet?

I played single player thousands of hours since the Xbox 360. I own maybe 10 copies of gta 5. Sad they never released the DLC.

@futurebird It is sad how many people in our culture still suffer from extroversion. Where are the medications or treatments for helping people with this disability? I would absolutely buy copies of this book and share them with people who I know have this terrible condition. I know extroverts are part of human neurodiversity, but their acting out in public and in private affects us all.

@futurebird also an homage to a certain classic SF short oft recommended in the replies : )

Dallas is gonna wax em

@beisbolcards I’d forgotten that trade, but remember being very happy at the time.

@grimalkina I think Siskel & Ebert once talked about how you shouldn’t critique the movie you wish they had made, only the movie they did make.

@owlsome_ovo There are more ants inside of that leaf and they are NOT happy about the visitor. Look at those mandibles.

@nora Florida also has an Orange County. Also hard to understand (Orlando, Disney World, etc.).

@ireneista @jackwilliambell @kelpana @michael_w_busch @xgranade I think they call that one Roko's basilisk

@futurebird 40s, ha. You ain't see nothing yet.

Had no idea what this was but the article is fascinating. It's sort of... Werewolf-esque or like Clue but at the same time more like... Return of the Obra Dinn. I think I would still consider it an RPG.

Making the playoffs out of the nl west is no small feat.

@jannem "His new method to solve polynomials also avoids radicals and irrational numbers, relying instead on special extensions of polynomials called ‘power series’, which can have an infinite number of terms with the powers of x."So power series are a new way to solve polynomial equations??? Not new - hundreds of years old. They don't "avoid" irrational numbers, but they can be used to compute irrational numbers.And so on....

Crazy how the same cities got in and the same cities got out eh?
