conspiracy shit 

@fries the corresponding video breaks it up into two steps arbitrarily, where x is the input:
y = x*0.618
return y+x;

Which is the unsimplified version of just multiplying by 1.618.
I think refusing to simplify your math to elongate it and try to imbue higher significance is common in this kind of thing, spiritualist future prediction shams and astrology.

conspiracy shit 

I did a very simple exercise to identify what this new age conspiracy guy time calculator does. It just multiplies the input by 1.618 (the Golden Ratio) and that's it.

David Wilcock's latest Gaia appearance got deleted? Maybe there is still some kind of dispute...

He said total of two sentences in that video so maybe the editor just fucked up and let those clips slip in forgetting about the legal fuss.

so my sib was trying to look up a windows 98 educational cd game we had as kids with this skeleton mascot called Seemore Skinless and in looking for him they found someone who used him as album art for a drum and bass song titled "The Spice Girls Form A Lesbian Polycule"

today on twitter: someone leaked the entirety of the plankton movie

man fuck off with the ally flag. just fly a regular pride flag if you're such an ally. what, are you scared that someone might think youre gay or something

What do young earth creationism and the original Halo trilogy have in common? 

They can all be divided into pre-flood and post-flood periods

The easier a math textbook sounds, the harder it is.

Like "Advanced Calculus" is obviously a high-school textbook, but PhD students will have nightmares about combinatorics books called like "A Gentle Introduction to Counting"

@Byte it was scrapped after release a while ago. long before they switched to Epic and free to play apparently. Support was dropped even though the game was initially Linux native.

Rocket league but the ball has AiAi from Monkey Ball in the ball and they didn't retract the native Linux release and force you to run a windows .exe from Epic. There is only one goal, and AiAi is trying to stay out of it.

this place has trained me to gasp whenever I see Stuttgart mentioned

I hope Hans is doing alright

We say someone is "clamming up" if they're staying silent. But real-world clams have all sorts of reasons to "clam up" aside from self-protection! They'll close their shells rapidly to force out poop, or clear off uneaten particles on their gills ("valve clapping"), or even when they're releasing their gametes! Some clams use that expelled water from closing to clear sand around them when digging, and scallops close their valves to generate jet propulsion for swimming! #clamFacts

linux virtualization 

Hmm, now that I am more familiar with using libvirt, I think if I were to operate a large rack server, I'd probably roll my own Arch Linux VM host setup and manually setup vms via libvirt. Although anything with snapshots and rollbacks that supports libvirt would do, really. I can see the appeal of something like Proxmox, but now that I know more I'd rather do it myself and avoid overhead.

Just fantasizing about having a server rack again someday...
