  • I realized just now that I didn't know how an anteater's mug works, and, well...

  • Ah, interesting. I've heard the opposite about one of their neighbours, perhaps Germany.

  • Found treasures are likely property of the state, possibly with some small share awarded to the finder.

  • Is that the cuck album.

  • When this was posted on Reddit, people explained that the cat probably sees the snake as prey, and so brings it to the place where he/she eats prey.

  • My favorite quote from the book:

    Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martialarts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

    Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken.

  • That sounds like a more reasonable automation than a robot arm.

  • Well, it's obvious from your condescending and insulting tone that you're completely right and I'm completely wrong, so there's no use pretending that it would be in any way valuable for me to present an 'explanation'.

  • ‘Funes’ was apparently inspired by Solomon Shereshevsky, who was ‘active in 1920s’, whatever exactly that means. The article on mnemonists lists a couple more living around that time, but nobody earlier.

    List of people claimed to possess an eidetic memory has two or three people born around 1860-'70, and among earlier murky claims a notable outlier Leonhard Euler:

    He was able to, for example, repeat the Aeneid of Virgil from beginning to end without hesitation, and for every page in the edition he could indicate which line was the first and which was the last even decades after having read it.

    The article on ‘memory sport’ says: “Techniques for training memory are discussed as far back as ancient Greece, and formal memory training was long considered an important part of basic education known as the art of memory” and cites ‘Secrets of a Mind-Gamer’ from NYT — but this is of course different from natural eidetic memory. ‘Art of memory’ also discusses techniques from the ancient times.

  • I guess my distaste for overcooked pasta is what keeps me together against the forgetfulness.

  • I use the timer in the clock app on the phone. But also, I have a dozen preprogrammed timers that I can start from a shortcut on the home screen, and two timers in the swipe-down menu that are accessible even with the phone being locked. These are all implemented with the Automate app (for Android) — which, for better or worse, requires a bit of programming chops, even though the ‘coding’ is visual instead of textual.

  • Can you hear my harsh buzz?

  • I mean, I still consider this page cool. It seems to have originated in 2016, and IMO it's not quite the 90s ‘dancing baby’ design or Myspace, but instead has a definite whiff of Tumblr art circa early-mid 2010s. I liked psychedelic-ish Tumblr art, it gave a whimsical perspective on life.

  • Right? The article even says that the cone thing has been going on since the eighties, but apparently the council still hasn't learned.

  • May I inquire as to which oil you mean — canola? As the staple oil varies by region, so I can't be sure which one it is for you.

  • two or three times a day

    That's rookie numbers. Videos for kids are known to gather bazillions of views, because toddlers in particular watch them hundreds of times on repeat.
