Turns out the gym and leather photos are simply not there on Aphyr's twitter anymore—there were a lot of them a while ago, but apparently run-ins with Twitter moderation didn't work out in their favor, and all that's…
Ah! Somehow I completely missed that they're supposed to be fashion designers. Thanks. > top performing drag artists Well I guess then that to understand the appeal of ‘Drag Race’ I'll have to finally watch ‘Drag Race’.
Okay... thanks for the effort, at least. I've been meaning to get somewhat into early-ish burlesque, Brecht, that kind of thing. Maybe then I'll be able to watch drag shows with vague understanding.
Well apparently I need an AI to tell me what's ‘trolling’ on HN, because gym and leather don't mean ‘dumb flamewar’ to me. If mentions of gym and leather trigger HN's crowd, I don't see how that's my fault.
ŽIžek is a walking meme farm. I don't think you need an AI until you exhausted what the actual man says. “Slavoj Zizek Coca-Cola commercial (2014)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiTy5-RC1-4 “Slavoj Zizek on the horror…
There's this clip showing some experiments for the benefit of schoolchildren: https://reddit.com/comments/y2kjmi I'm guessing this is an ongoing thing, and since the clip popped up on Reddit it seems at least ‘social…
Yep, I could see myself using PM just as a replacement for Gmail, since they have a semblance of a brand and reputation in this space—plus at least somewhat privacy-oriented attitude, which is more than many others got.
Seems to be almost exactly what happened in one race, except the dude behind actually rode the wall: https://racingnews.co/2021/09/06/kyle-larson-attempts-nascar... (from another comment in this thread).
Wall riders are a perpetual bane in multiplayer races. Perhaps Forza and GT finally added measures against that, but among e.g. videos on the ‘Super GT’ simmer channel, you can see plenty of riders, especially in Forza…
A comment elsewhere in the thread explains the mechanism of why light background results in better eye focus: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33403128 Probably relevant with astigmatism, since tighter focus should…

I heard that astigmatism is the reason some people find reading white-on-black intolerable: the edges shift from their proper places, look doubled, this kind of stuff. Idk if astigmatism-correcting glasses fix the…
That's what I'm saying, in part. Mr. Moolenaar's reports on his own on-the-grounds activities are quite clear (from what I remember now, a bunch of years later), and the goal of ‘build some schools’ doesn't make me…
Gotta say, when I read about how Bram Moolenaar, the author and maintainer of Vim, works sometimes to build schools in remote areas of Uganda and encourages users to donate to that cause—not once did I question how that…
I don't think that after seventy years Pantone needs any help with being the standard in the industry.
I nearly fainted reading about how the dude whacked the disk to make the head unstick and then jiggled the head over the platter. One thing I learned in my tech initiation years is that head on the platter = death and…
