It’s very important!

Rick Sanchez defined the subset of the multiverse where he is the smartest being in the universe as the “Central Finite Curve.”

That’s pretty narcissistic.

They’re pretty bland. Kinda melt-in-your-mouth. You can get them from a Catholic supply store, or you can order them online, if you want to try them out. They’ll sell them to anyone, they only care about limiting who eats them after they’ve been consecrated during mass.

Yes. It’s infuriating that the months called “Seventh Month,” “Eighth Month,” “Ninth Month,” and “Tenth Month” are months 9-12.

Stupid January and February fucking everything up…

They have a large stake in OpenAI, last I checked.

That’s incredible.

I was quite conservative back in 2006, having been raised that way and still years away from my “enlightenment,” but I knew Colbert was satire. I still thought he was hilarious. I’ve always thought it’s important to be able to laugh at yourself.

Bush clearly felt the same, he was laughing right along with the roast, and had just finished doing a bit with a Bush impersonator that also roasted him.

But Trump is incapable of humility, and cannot stand the traditional presidential roast at the Press Correspondents’ Dinner.

And could also corrode the cartridge. I knew a guy whose son absolutely ruined a Pokémon 3DS cartridge that way.

Oh wow, that brought me through a wormhole to the past.

After you’ve seen it, go watch The Disaster Artist.

NB: remove the ?si= part of a YouTube link and everything following it.

This is the share ID, and creates a link between your account and any account that watches it, indicating that you have shared a link with them. They track this to try to figure out what videos you, and the person you shared it with, might like in common.

Some of the easiest tracking to avoid just by removing a string from a URL.

Yes, every superchromat should read this series.

I always called it “tech aura.”

And if you like Sawbones, check out My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

It’s a comedy advice podcast from the lovable idiot and his two brothers. It’s great fun, and was referenced in the musical Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda is a big fan).

I don’t use TikTok but I knew plenty about Israel’s actions. It was all over the internet and plenty of news sources.

All they’d need to do is generate thumbnails for every period on video load. Make that period adjustable. Might take a few extra seconds to load a video. Make it off by default if they’re worried about the performance hit.

There are other desktop video players that make this work.

That’s more terrible than great.

They didn’t call Alexander the Great that because he was a good dude. “Great” doesn’t inherently mean beneficial. The iPhone changed the world. As did Apple stealing their concept for a GUI and cursor from PARC and running with it.

ARM is its own thing.

Sure, but not every ARM processor is the M-series. The M-series proving the capacity of running a desktop OS on ARM in a meaningful way was important.

As someone who is not a musician - crushing all those instruments into one crazy thin form factor may allow me to play around with music but I’d never claim to be a musician

Sure. Although I wouldn’t say someone who creates music entirely on an iPad can’t be a musician.

This is similar to other forms of art. I’ve played around with visual arts on the iPad in ways I otherwise never would, but I wouldn’t call myself an artist. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t artists whose entire medium is iPad.

I was so frustrated by the controversy over that introduction. I thought it was a great way to represent how much the device can do in such a thin form factor. If I were more conspiracy-minded, I would think Apple created the controversy themselves for extra attention. It just seemed so ridiculous.

People got pissy because, in an effort to show all the things the new iPad Pro can do in an insanely thin form factor, Apple made an advertisement in which a bunch of paint cans and musical instruments and books and other stuff were crushed by a giant hydraulic press, and when it rises up, we’re left with a crazy thin iPad.

I thought it was creative. And the new iPad Pro is WILDLY thin. Discounting the camera bump it’s the thinnest device Apple has ever made, thinner even than the iPod Nano.

But the internet got all butthurt because it was disrespectful to art and music or something. They thought the ad was saying we don’t NEED paint or instruments anymore. But obviously the point of the ad was that all of that stuff is squeezed into this device, not that we can destroy everything else.

You know how the internet is. Someone will always be mad about something.

Edit: For the record, I’m a musician myself. I’ve sung with a professional orchestra for fifteen years. I’ve played violin (albeit not very well) for most of my life. And I use an iPad for my sheet music. Before anyone tries to tell me that I just don’t get it because I’m not in the offended demographic.
