don't let an accurate grasp of basic facts stop you from making that bold hot take you want to make today 💅 you're gonna hurt yourself if you keep holding it in like that

@sen I'm inclined. I am tempted to write my own

@TomF I gained about 20 lbs since I started exercising again earlier in the year. I think this is a very good thing, because now I'm just a smidge heavier than where I want to be instead of grossly under.

@TomF I liked how I looked a lot better when I was a more boney, but I also like how now I can sit at a desk for 8 hours and only be in a little bit of pain and also have energy for Gains after work. It's a tough life being a bag of meat, with all of these meatly tradeoffs to make.

I got one of those heart rate monitors that is basically the world's worst strapless bra but with electrodes (it's a polaris H10 i'm being glib). The results logged during today's exercise are a bit 🤔🤔🤔

the app asked for my gender and birthday, which I provided because I figured they were probably using it to set up bar graphs etc in addition to selling it to random corporations.

then it asked height, with my current height already set, and then it asked for my weight with nearly my current weight set (off by 3 lbs)

eerie. but I think these were just demographic averages. thus, I conclude this: according to the "Polar Beat" exercise app, I am a perfectly average 36 year old woman 😌

If we lived in the parallel universe where Zefram Cochrane doesn't shoot the Vulcan, this would all just be hypertext! Just HTML with a tasteful stylesheet. Oh, that reference to another paper looks interesting? Just click on it and have a lookaroo

I know this is both controversial and brave of me to say, but I really hate the "two-column paper" format. {lastname}%y.pdf why are you like this.

@myname @icing you used up all your cheese, however this completely different ancient treasure chest contains more different pre-pandemic cheese

You open the Ancient Treasure Chest!

~W~O~A~H~!

There's a ｢pre-pandemic cheese｣ inside! You take it.

@myname You catch a delicious ｢pandemic mouse｣ with the ｢pre-pandemic cheese｣! You're gonna eat like royalty tonight!

@icing @myname the ｢Pre-pandemic Pirate Map｣ is said to lead to an ｢Ancient Treasure Chest｣!

@myname @icing

@myname @icing the mouse thanks you for being so gracious hands you the map, and then flees!

@AstroKatie this stuff is so neat. how do we tell if something is red shifted vs just being red to begin with?

My riscv beaglebone arrived tonight! I'm probably not going to do much with it right away, but I'm browsing the docs for it rn and

.

it uses android????????

EDIT: apparently this is just the normal way to flash stuff these days

@mlinksva maybe there's some worth to implementing the "boring" parts (parts specific to resource management, or are most critical to write in a "safe" language) in FastSafeLang, and then embedding lua (or some other embedding-friendly smol squishy language) to implement the parts that are more interesting for customization

@cwebber @devinprater there's no good GPU drivers for activitypub yet. I'll just dual boot ma$todon so I can play games.
