Radioactive Butthole

I’ll add it to my mountain of saved links to never be seen again.

$100,000 tops.

That picture doesn’t really show anything.

Trying to get my family to use signal and its like pulling teeth. “Dont you want to be on the same messaging app as everyone”, “sure but you’re the one with a problem”

Mate, I only have a problem because of you!

You can pry Vim from my cold, dead hands!

My problem with forums is that they spiral out of control. Forum lovers see this as a huge plus but I’m not reading 1700 pages (not posts) of bullshit across three posts just to get to the current info.

Any time I see

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …, 653

At the bottom of a post I just click off the website and go somewhere else.

I really liked the client but HTML emails are a real pain in the ass.

AskJeeves!

I have a server with a RAID-1 array, that makes daily, weekly, and monthly read only btrfs snapshots. The whole thing (sans snapshots) is sync’d with syncthing to two rPi’s in two different geographic locations.

I know neither raid nor syncthing are “real” backup solutions, but with so many copies of the files living in so many locations (in addition to my phone, laptop, etc.) I’m reasonably confident its a decent solution.

That’s fine. That is the whole point of science after all. I only meant that this is an idea that is taken very seriously by astrophysicists and is under heavy research. It will very likely turn out to be an accurate description of black holes, we just need better gravitational wave detectors to confirm or refute the idea first.

By the year 2015, Maldacena’s paper had become the most highly cited paper in high energy physics with over 10,000 citations. These subsequent articles have provided considerable evidence that the correspondence is correct, although so far it has not been rigorously proved.

It isn’t some crackpot theory some PhD candidate slapped together to get their doctorate last year. There is real, verifiable, peer reviewed science here.

I think this is a really interesting read on the matter: https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/godTaoist.html

Christianity has gone completely off the rails and isn’t the answer, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there isn’t a god.

How deep do you want to go into this, and what’s your level of familiarity with the Holographic Principal and AdS/CFT corrospondance? There’s no hard evidence yet but there is a shitton of circumstantial evidence to suggest that this is what happens.

Maybe god itself doesn’t have free will and is only acting according to a proscribed set of fundamental laws.

If everyone remembered your past lives you could be held accountable for actions “you” never took. Imagine being born only to find out that your last life was a serial murderer and you have 300 consecutive reincarnations left before you’ll ever experience freedom again.

No, I think its better that we don’t remember. Plus, life wouldn’t be at all novel if you’ve already experienced everything there is for you to enjoy.

No judgment, only curiosity.

That seems oddly specific.

I think it 's (Edit: started out) more about how Tim Buckley is terrible than anything. (Edit: Then from there it) sort of collapsed into its own joke. No one really knows or cares about the context anymore, its become a self-contained meme with no real meaningful connection to Tim, the original comic, or its message now.

Logseq has a horrendous UX. The concept is amazing but check back in a decade to see if its usable.

I find a nonlinear note taking app like Obsidian or Logseq to be helpful when I need to organize large amounts of information. Links and tags make it easy to traverse large amounts of data quickly, and since I link and tag however tf I want, I can usually follow my own thought process to rethink something if I have to.
