I have Windows 10 for games, but it’s firewalled so hard that it can’t check for updates or do any of its other shady stuff. I can’t even install components like WSL, because that works through svchost, the single executable doing too much.

I’m using Simplewall for that. The prohibitions for MS shenanigans are a couple checkboxes in the menu.

You could look into devices supported by Rockbox, and the features of that firmware. I’m guessing it can sync files from Linux.

Rockbox is the open-source.

Use–mention distinction

Pretty easy to understand, but still somehow eludes most people.

They’re saying that if everyone does hiring like this, they won’t be hired anywhere.

(Hopefully you mean that interviews aren’t normally conducted like this.)

Sounds like it uses electricity all day and night long instead of just while bringing the water to a boil.

I much prefer this kind of kettle, because I can see the damn water instead of having to peek at a small crack of transparent plastic. Plus glass kettles are quieter, metal ones really liven up the whole apartment with the noise.

Yeah, anything that gets a rise out of the creators of Go is good in my book.

The guy still thinks computers have 64 KB of memory and we need to economize on the length of identifiers. Nothing he says or does should be taken seriously in this day.

He’d probably like an appreciation note if it was written with all vowels taken out.

Malbolge is great for replying to anyone who claims that since programming languages are Turing-complete, any one of them is fit for the job.

Ah, and also check out Mamaleek’s ‘Come and See’. They’re my favorite band for the past five years after hearing this album.

Kinda the point of Satanism.

You can try fusion genres of jazz with something you like, and see if it’s fun that way. E.g. you’ve posted about The Lords of the New Church, who seem to have been playing punk and post-punk:

Jazz with post-punk: James Chance & The Contortions

Jazz-mathcore: Needle Play

Instrumental noise-rock/math-rock/punk-jazz: Lanzallamas

I might be able to throw in more names if you name other genres. In particular, I have a bunch of various jazz-metal, e.g. jazz-grindcore/ska: Le Scrawl.

Spoiler: it’s ‘The Substance’.

If critics liked it, but audiences disliked it, it’s probably technically good but boring.

Or it’s something fresh instead of the same junk that critics had seen hundreds of times (literally), whereas most of the public can’t be arsed with original but marginal concepts.

Why would lsd be cheaper when it’s well-known that it’s difficult to produce? Whereas, from what I know, there are a whole bunch of different amphetamines, and e.g. meth is pretty abundant.

A person who’s never tried actual lsd by the virtue of absence of such in their country, wouldn’t know what it should be like. They’d just have some buzz and a somewhat psychedelic effect from whatever they were sold. I’m not convinced you yourself got real lsd, if you think it’s cheaper than other drugs.

And again, for what reason? What is the motivation of adulterating drugs?

Do you seriously have trouble with the concept of why mixing flour into coke is beneficial for the dealer’s bottom line?

My own dealer told me to stop buying hash, because he’s seen it padded with arbitrary gunk. It’s not like the user can tell what’s in there.

Afaik various random amphetamines are most often sold as molly and especially lsd, which latter is reportedly completely impossible to find for real in the parts of the world where I am, except maybe for a thousand bucks a tab.

Such argument, very informative, wow. Maybe don’t attempt an argument if you don’t actually have anything to say.

Rumor has it that molly is typically laced with some nasty shit these days.

face down arse up

That’s the way.

How many millions did they give? I know of the one million for the inauguration. Do you think one million is much money for either Apple or Trump?
