Kabul, Manila and Amsterdam have an index of 0. I'm not sure how reliable this data is.

The writing style smells like Gemini output. I din't mind, I just wonder if anyone else noticed.

Hey a couple of bugs: 1. When I create an org it doesn't appear in the list until refresh. Then, one of the two orgs I made was created twice, or is somehow displayed twice.

I am interested because I have kids and they like Roblox (chat disabled). I don't doubt thing, I care about my children's well-being.

I've been using it as well for a long while (though using option shift -), but I don't care what people think. I won't change my style to appease Temu Sherlocks, or anyone really. How I write doesn't change the value of the message. I invite you to join me in not giving a crap.

I'm interested in sources for your info about Roblox being choke full with pedos and the sophisticated techniques they employ.

Do you have some particular piece of software or tech demo or game in mind with interesting very large generated 3D worlds?

Also: Daniel was being accused of cheating by Kramnik and visibly affected by it. I think there's a link between bullying and suicide isn't there?

Looks like an alternative to https://www.taichi-lang.org/. Would like to see a comparison.

"à la", there is no diacritic on "la". "à" means (roughtly) "to" and there is a diacritical mark to distinguish it from "a" as in "il a", "he has". But "la" means "the", like "le" but female, and there is no need to distinguish it from any other homograph.

I feel that the interrobang ‽ better conveys sarcastic exclamation.

That's the "slow" in the name.

Also `echo $NIGHT_JOB`, I'm curious like that.

To preempt other queries, maybe just paste the `set` output.

chatte, which translates to pussy, is a better homophone. Also funnier but less sfw

I work for an Australian company in Australia and they'll give me paid sick leave beyond the standard allowance if I need it. But I agree that it'd be better if that was a right.

New comment by agravier in "Where do our atoms come from?"

agravier — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 12:28:48 +0000

I think electrical activity in the brain is misunderstood. These electrical signals are not electrons moving along a wire, they are waves of depolarisation between the inside and inside of the cell membrane travelling along the axon or dendrites. The depolarisation is due to the activity of a bunch of ion pumps and channels that let ions pass between the inside and outside of the cell. Some of these ion channels are themselves voltage-gated, thereby further increasing the depolarisation in response to depolarisation, and propagating the signal that way.

So it's still mostly atoms moving in and out of cells. Still stardust.
