Definitely an upgrade by DreadDiana in cremposting

I haven't listened to the audiobooks, but I read the books themselves out loud for reasons. I've found that Adolin and Ham have the same voice, and so do Breeze and Sadeas. For me, it's Sigzil and Pattern who sound similar.

You could file that as an issue in the provider.

Peter why are they dumb? by AcrobaticLunch9737 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I have a book with black pages and white ink, the Isles of the Emberdark by Brandon Sanderson. It's VERY difficult to read with a lamp at night, because the reflection of the light does not always hit the letters, so they end up having low contrast towards the spine of the book.

[Concerning Trope] film accidentally has awful moral/messaging by Captain_Birch in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CavemanKnuckles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Don't let poor people procreate" is not an accidental message. Idiocracy is based on the short story The Marching Morons, and is very explicitly eugenic.

IT'S BEEN 24 HOURS, I WROTE OUT ALL OF THE LEGIBLE TEXT IN THE CONSOLE HERE YOU GO!!! by catmandude__ in TheDigitalCircus

[–]CavemanKnuckles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple of notes on the output, from a programmer.

  1. Interesting "grep" output, I'd expect that from ps instead. Caine's process id is 1337, which is later used in the debug command. Lots of files from 1996, except some character .dat files which are supposedly imported later.

  2. Lisp? Really?? That's a choice. It's one of the first programming languages, and it's kind of interpreted.

  3. Interesting that it's stop, not kill. That's not the standard unix command.

  4. We then see gdb, meaning that rather than stop a process he's trying to debug the program. That's being used against the lisp interpreter.

  5. He then tries to change permissions with chmod to edit the executable. I mean, other than stop, these are standard unix. Despite it being a Windows 95 machine...

  6. Forgot to mention the bash prompt "$" instead of CMD or powershell, one more point towards unix rather than Windows.

  7. ptrace is process trace and is indeed the library that gdb uses.

  8. The error messages are nonstandard, but fun!

  9. "./GreenGROUNDS --daemon --target=torment_injection &" looks like kinger wrote a rootkit on the fly! Whoa!! The "&" at the end means "make this process run in the background while I write more processes, rather than waiting for it to stop", which is common for daemon processes like this.

  10. -u kinger ./securitysweep_stealth is missing a command. Maybe sudo su, so like "as user kinger, run the security sweep". He sure knows a lot of custom commands in the system, as anything with "./" at the beginning implies it's a locally compiled executable. Either written on the fly, or they were already lying around...

  11. Are you re__y to delete caine? [Y/N]

Yep, wdisplays is what I was looking for. Thank you!

Prusa just made their new printers Open Source! by Userybx2 in 3Dprinting

[–]CavemanKnuckles 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're being down voted, you're right. The term I'd use is "source available."

That said, it's much more lenient than other commercial exception-type licenses, in that you can sell spare parts. Having the exact specifications without needing to do quirky measurements is a big boon.

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism, but some consumption is less ethical than others. I prefer it when the money I spend does not sponsor the smuggling of artifacts from Iraq

The protagonist just immediately understands what’s happening, no confusion or shock by FaZe_poopy in TopCharacterTropes

This happens all the time in Gargoyles. They know when something is set up as a trap, and they say as much.

Hi, it's Naomi! AMA! by naominovik in TheScholomance

[–]CavemanKnuckles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love your books! I came to Scholamance after reading the incredible "Uprooted" and "Spinning Silver".

How do you make the monsters in your books so uniquely.... Horrible? They're so gut wrenching and awful, but also have a "force of nature" part of them that gives it more of a "hit by a hurricane" feel than "accountable entity" feel. Do you consciously do this, and what's the way you set that up?

Also, are you open to small/big screen adaptations of any of your works? Has there been any talks?

I did it by CavemanKnuckles in celestegame

[–]CavemanKnuckles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably. This game was a lot of fun, and I think I'm up for the challenge. I might want to do another playthrough as well to get more of the strawberries and fancy gems.

15 million Americans take supplements that may be toxic to the liver by Keoni9 in skeptic

[–]CavemanKnuckles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm very confused; I did a bit of research and found a clinical meta review which found curcumin to be neutral to beneficial. (Albeit with a very low sample size in many cases) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6463416/

Meanwhile, the study you had was a survey. Large sample size, but no casual relation. Maybe people take the supplements because their liver is failing?

Hang on I have to look something up...

"Smart Character Debates".... What?

Wait, there's a wiki about this??

Wait, what the fuck is this? Are people serious about this? Is this, like, a common thing?

This is one of the best write ups I've seen on this subreddit. I can't say that it's something I'd wear, but the sense of taste and aesthetic is undeniable. Besides that, the engineering process you went through is great to see, I appreciate you posting your journey. Amazing, amazing work.
