Me: "OMFG...! You can use the terminal as a calculator?!" There are too many things I do not know, that I ought to know :neofox_blush_hide:

  @rek oh i recognize this scene ... i use python3 as a calculator & my husband is surprised Released the logs documenting the first week of our recent sail from Victoria(B.C) to Sitka(Southeast Alaska). I plan to release more as soon as I am done transcribing them.  Released week 2 of the logs documenting our recent sail from Victoria to Sitka(Southeast Alaska). In this part, we sailed through a bunch of rapids and battled giant ants. It is hilarious to think that I was familiar with :drake_dislike: :drake_like: waaaay before I knew who the fek Drake was.  Thanks for the input, I didn't know who he was either! But I usually have no acquaintances among people living in $100M estates and traveling with their personal Boeing 767. Really enjoyed reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, was my first time reading any of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories. I love Watson’s constant amazement of Holmes’s observation and deducting skills. “My dear Holmes!” He’d often say, awestruck, after hearing Holmes detail the life a client he’d just met with great accuracy. Now, I am reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir :> (yes, I’ve already read The Martian).

[DATA EXPUNGED]
@rek I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I’ve been frustrated by a lot of writing I come across in larger writing communities. “The writer either has a meaning and cannot express it, or he inadvertently says something else, or he is almost indifferent as to whether his words mean anything or not.” This line really stuck with me, and I think it’s an aspect of a lot of mainstream written content suffers from. my new single, BEAST OF THE BLACK HILL, has been unleashed! a dark electronic folktale of supernatural revenge ... is it a rock opera? horror musical? listen at your own peril on the music platform of your choice (my website's lookin' pretty cool too thanks to @ritualdust):  @voidxwitch @ritualdust this rules. Again. Love the evolved sound and the Blair Witch vibes. @voidxwitch @ritualdust Holy crap, this is SOLID. Congrats on the release 🖤. I freakin' love those ears/muzzle(did you make those?), and the lighting in the above photo and the video and ahh! The whole of it is well-crafted to perfection. Insta-buy :neofox_devil: On our sailing trip north this year, we encountered a lot of cruiseships. They are gigantic (nearly 1000 ft/300 m long). There is really no land vehicle equivalent to a cruiseship. It is intimidating to encounter one on the water. Imagine for one second that you're driving on the road, then a big ass thing on wheels suddenly arrives behind you, fast. Because it has the right of way, and that it has limited maneuverability, you have to make sure you're not in its path. Scary.

 I'm gonna be real for a moment: since ditching the initial big platforms (Twitter, Instagram, Etsy), I've had a hard time getting people into my online print shop. At the same time, I've never had such a wonderful body of work, great prints, books, illustrations and stickers. Also, I LOVE making prints, yo! It is what is but I hope it picks up again during the holidays. Has anyone else felt a dip in merch sales? Anyway, rant over! If you wanna check it out, it's here! http://shop.cabfolio.com  In the book The Design of Everyday Things, Don Norman talks about what he calls "Good Enough Arithmetics", which is a way of calculating results in your head when precision isn't important. The approximate answer is often good enough. I gathered a few notes on my website as a reminder, and plan to add more as I find them :neofox_book:

 @rek some rough conversions I use pretty frequently: still have things to fix and add, but the personal website i built is now up! it’s been a while since i worked so obsessively on a new project, and i’m excited to do more. many thanks to @ipso for their encouragement and help! i’m still glowing from the process of coding a site for the first time, and wondering what else i might be able to make :)  "The productivity myth suggests that anything we spend time on is up for automation — that any time we spend can and should be freed up for the sake of having even more time for other activities or pursuits — which can also be automated. The importance and value of thinking about our work and why we do it is waved away as a distraction. The goal of writing, this myth suggests, is filling a page rather than the process of thought that a completed page represents."

 It's part and parcel of the whole Abrahamic dissociative mindset. First we dissociate from Nature. Then we dissociate from our bodies. Then we dissociate from our minds.  This is why the proof is always more interesting than stating the theorem. With the theorem we get a closed form. The proof, on the other hand, is pregnant with possibilities--this is where the real insight lives. Thus, proving a result in mathematics is rooting around in a maze of many paths, and this rooting around builds intuition which is the true learning, not the final result.

Our boat, with everything we own aboard it, is in Tangier, finally. But we still need funds to get back to the boat from the UK. In a few days, we’ll have nowhere to live/nothing to live on. Our straits will then be dire. We have no other choice but to plead for a little more help to make it the rest of the way.  Milled some flour and baked some baguettes. They're so narrow(due to the size of the evacuated vacuum tube), that it'd be more accurate to call them bread cigars, or bread spears.

@Alkaris
Can you explain precisely what to do after entering the about:config screen? I'm not sure what "blank all values and set false where necessary" and I'm not getting any clarification from the screenshot.
@Alkaris I am absolutely furious that I have to continually opt out of this negative-value feature which, coincidentally, contributes to global warming.
@Alkaris Another day, another
about:configyou have to make in Firefox to keep it pro-human. Sad.
