@npub15cd…3mv2 Give a dragon a fish, it will eat for about eighteen seconds. Teach a dragon to fish, you'll have dragons raiding your pond for a lifetime.

Software pet peeve of the day: When a webapp refuses to function unless you give it the exact URL from which it will be accesses. Like, it's not *that* hard to figure that out from the request headers! I'm hardly an expert developer and I can do it with little difficulty and moderate inconvenience. Of course I don't use multiple bloated frameworks to build my webapps, so what do I know?
(Also Symfony burned our crops, poisoned our water supply, and delivered a plague unto our houses.)

*checks calendar* Hmm...
Well, good luck! I'll still be reading regardless.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 Weird that he'd leave out South America considering that a lot of his favorite targets came from there.
What's poisoning the blood of America is unsafe infrastructure and an underregulated food industry. (There is *so much* lead.) And of course, less literally, fascism and the various bigotries it nurses as means to acquire and maintain power.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 Concept: Fantasy series whose magic system is based on sacred geometry, but it's all literally just regular geometry. The weirder and more esoteric the math, the stronger the effect. Wizards lock themselves in towers for decades seeking new ways to tile the plane.
I don't know enough about math or fantasy literature to make that work, but the idea gives me warm fuzzies.

@npub1gzl…kk4u I'm no music expert, but this sounds good to me! I'm always impressed by people who can play multiple instruments (probably because I never had the patience to commit to learning one).

@npub15cd…3mv2 @npub1qed…08aa I think it refers to the deodorant itself, not the packaging. In my very limited experience, antiperspirants usually have an aluminum compound as their active ingredient, but deodorants without antiperspirant don't. I saw "aluminum-free" on a lot of packages last time I shopped, but only on deodorants, not on antiperspirants.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 This also works on teenagers. Worked on me at thar age, at any rate.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 I wonder if part of the problem is that the right's idea of "the left" just in general is that nebulous. With the state of the Overton Window these days, I don't think your average Fox News viewer knows the difference between "1950s conservatives but somewhat less racist" and "actual literal communist" because right-wing media generally portrays them all alike as "radical left socialism" or the like. They certainly treat "liberal" and "leftist" as synonyms.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 Even *considering* this makes you braver than I am. Ergo, I have no advice worth giving (other than, I guess, keep a first aid kit handy in case something goes screwy, and a fire extinguisher in case it goes *really* screwy) but I wish you the best of luck.

@npub189n…satx My two cents: Like most rich people, dude thinks he's inherently better than everyone else. So the most fitting punishment would be to treat him like any other schmuck they don't know from Adam.
Secret Service? Post them undercover as regular prison guards. Obviously, he'll know they're there (and claim they aren't) but he'll never know which ones they are.
Will never happen but I can dream.

@npub15cd…3mv2 "Not detailed"? Maybe not so much as your other work, but you could get lost in that first painting all the same. It's immediately my favorite of the bunch, despite the others also being excellent. It's just so warm and inviting.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 I don't think mind-body dualism or lack thereof really affects whether mind uploading is bunk, which it is.
The mind is a separate entity from the matter of the brain. While that means a transfer might be possible in principle, any science/tech-based method can only operate on matter, and thus can't touch the actual mind.
The mind is an emergent property of the brain. It has no existence of its own, so there's nothing for your machine to move from the brain to the computer.
