Our eyes are not perfect organs so why pretend like they are? Our eyes fail us:

• when it’s too dark
• when it’s too bright
• when there’s fog
• when there’s too much rain and snow
• when there’s glare from the sun
• when there’s obstructions
• when there’s sensory overload
• when there’s something covering our eyes like dirt and mud
• when we can only see on the visible spectrum

Why wouldn’t we want more incoming data to account for these shortcomings? Optical-only vision-based solutions are incomplete because our eyes are incomplete. I can’t see that a car is stopped dead in the road 10 feet ahead of me in thick fog, but an advanced set of telemetry sensors can. My eyes are not better than the scores of technology we’ve built over the past few decades and I’ve been practicing with them for 46 years. Give me a helmet that includes LIDAR and infrared and night vision and sonar and telemetry from a satellite and GPS and weather tracking and god knows what else and I’ll be much less likely to rear end that car in the fog. We humans invent technology to make up for our shortcomings, so why go with the idea of “if it’s good enough for biological evolution it’s good enough for these multi-ton contraptions we have hurtling down highways next to each other several metres apart at 100 km per hour every second of every day?” It sounds ludicrous on its face. We can choke on a peanut because our swallow tube is the next to the breathing tube ffs. We can do better.

I watched a tourist drink a few beer at the local inn and then just throw the cans onto the lawn and keep drinking. So basically littering. That stuck in my craw. This is my town buddy, take the 5 seconds it takes to dispose of your shitty cans of your shitty mass produced beer that you usually have back home that you made sure to let everyone is far better than the local microbrew we have here in town.

Also one time we had some tourists loudly complaining about immigrants while visiting. Those aren’t immigrants you dope, they’re citizens of our country. They were born here.

On one occasion I was driving somewhere and it was along a scenic drive and I had to stop for something. A group of aging old men on motorcycles who were doing the scenic drive told me I couldn’t park in that area because it was theirs. I said get fucked, you’re in my backyard, I’ll park wherever the fuck I want. I think they thought they were intimidating because they fancied themselves a biker gang, but biker gangs usually don’t have New Balance and rental bikes as part of their aesthetic.

If Mercurial were as popular as Git I would presume that it would be rewritten in C or Rust, but who can say.

Also Subsurface, a scuba diving log program, but that one is not quite as well known.

First of all, our red is your blue and our blue is your red, but also our reds are bluer than your blues, but even our blues are bluer than your reds are, and we also have oranges that are bluer than our reds are, which also means they’re bluer than your blues are, and also we have like a navy blue that is particular to Quebec and it’s bluer than our reds are and also therefore bluer than your blues, and also we have a small group of greens, and they’re kinda bluer than our reds are, which also means they’re bluer than your blues are. Overall, we’re entirely bluer than even your bluest blues are, and even most of our blues are less red and more blue than most of your reds are, although it seems we’re on the verge of turning more red, but that gap seems to have narrowed since you guys got a red guy in there and we’re starting to see the results, even if its only been less than a week with your reds in charge.

I hope this clears things up.

Parasite Eve was Square, mind you, back when they were still called Squaresoft.

How would trickle down work with gold? I’m picturing some kind of golden shower?

Are they built overseas? Will they be subject to tariffs I wonder?

The code directly below:

function getPathToUploadDirectory() {
  return config.tmp_path
}

Which raises the question of what the difference is between the sink poop knife and the toilet poop knife?

She was also part of the team that discovered and coined the term “bug” in relation to a computer defect. She didn’t invent the term herself directly, but she was part of the team that did.

There’s also something in copyright law called moral rights which can’t be transferred, although they can be waived. It’s possible to retain moral rights even if you sell your music to someone, and moral rights allow you assert some control over your works where you think misuse of it would cause harm to your reputation, amongst other things. I’m not a copyright lawyer or anything, but I’ve dealt with a bit of this stuff through open source software licensing, and it’s come up a few times when I was transferring licenses from companies I used to work for. If they didn’t waive moral rights then that would perhaps be an avenue to prevent misuse, but again, an actual copyright lawyer would be able to better determine that.

Edit to add: I did some reading on this and more rights are not quite a thing in the US, but it’s a thing in Canada and other Berne Convention countries, but the US does have something similar but separate from copyright. The US has moral rights in some states but not others, and they have something called the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 that intersects with the idea of moral rights but is more narrower than general moral rights and only covers certain visual arts. In any case, I still haven’t gotten my law degree since this morning, but the basic gist of it is that the US has a different spin on moral rights than I’m familiar with in Canada, so they’re not equivalent, but there still may be standing for such a move by a musical artist.

Can’t they just use like Ted Nugent or something, he wouldn’t mind them using Cat Scratch Fever I’m sure.

Pizza, any Asian food, occasionally eggs although I prefer vinegar based stuff like Tapatio generally for that… sriracha is a very versatile sauce. It’s not overly hot and just has that famous sriracha tang to it.

Lately I’ve been purchasing Firebarns brand as Huy Fung has been a bit more difficult to find around these parts and frankly some of their business practices have been questionable, with them not paying pepper suppliers and were sued and lost to that effect. Firebarns is quite good though, perhaps not quite as thick as Huy Fong, but that’s a matter of preference.
