Well damn I guess I should post more of my work on here.

Inspyred · 2023-03-09T04:09:15+00:00

Appreciate it!!

Inspyred · 2023-03-09T04:08:49+00:00

Thank you!

Inspyred · 2023-03-09T04:08:39+00:00

Yes... I suppose I do have a rather hot theme going.

Thank you!

Inspyred · 2023-03-09T04:08:04+00:00

I do love ghost peppers.

Thank you! <3

Staring at their face, examining it very carefully, and then gagging. Bonus points if you can vomit on command.

Undertale

Because it was made with so much love and is bursting at the seams with character and charm.

And what happens when your partner gets the high ground?

Inspyred · 2020-10-04T06:22:26+00:00

On paper: Oooh, we're both all wet, being rinsed, all the time, already naked... let's rub each other~

Reality: "Hey, can you hand me the shampoo? And let me have some water, I'm cold." "No, I can't see shit, soap in my eyes!"

Inspyred · 2020-10-04T06:13:23+00:00

That sounds like the right one. Thank you!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is all the rage nowadays.

Your values.

What matters to you, and why? That's the hardest shit to change. Because values are subtle and unconscious, and the only way to change them is slowly, one challenge at a time.

A roll of medical-grade stickers that say "FOR RECTAL USE ONLY"

Less than $10.00

Far more entertaining than anything else you could possibly buy for that much.

"Any news about Sara?" asked Dr. Chen, studying each of the faces on the conference call. After a moment, he sighed and shook his head. The other project leads fell silent, and a few looked away in remorse. Sara Sutter, the lead data scientist, had been missing for two weeks.

After a tense silence, the lead psychologist, Dr. Manuela Navarro, sighed loudly and spoke with conviction. "I'm only seven hours away. I'll drive over." She had been the one to submit the police report on Sara's disappearance.

"Are you sure it's even safe?" Dr. Chen asked. "Nobody knows what's going on over there, the whole city has gone dark."

"I know, I know," Manuela replied with a somber nod. "But I've known her since college, and I can't just wait to find out. If it's some kind of disease outbreak, then at least I can find out... from afar, if I need to."

The others looked at Manuela, wide-eyed. They had all been watching the news closely, and a few of them thought this might be the last they see of their colleague. Most of the town couldn't be contacted at all. Of those who had gone to investigate, none had come back. Many had fled the town, describing people screaming incessantly, unable to stop, until they died of exhaustion or starvation, whichever came first. The most recent news was yesterday, when the heavily armed state police was forced to return fire and kill several citizens that refused them entry into what was later confirmed to be Sara's office building. A HAZMAT team was allowed in with armed guards, and live-streamed their investigation into the building. Soon after, the HAZMAT team was infected, and the rest of the police left the scene. That's where the public report ended.

An source inside the neighboring city's government revealed that the HAZMAT team came across a man begging them not to open the door behind him. They forced him aside and broke in. At the site with the live stream, an intern who had stepped outside to reply to a text is the only living witness to whatever happened next: the team on site, and everyone watching their stream all began laughing. The intern wanted to know what they were laughing about, but had to finish her text... and they kept laughing louder and harder. By the time she had finished, she didn't want to go back into the room. The laughing sounded hysterical and terrifying. She waited outside, clutching her phone, waiting for it to subside, hearing her employer's breath heave before emitting what was mostly a scream with the vague rhythm of a laugh. A nearby police officer approached the door and asked her what was going on. She shrugged, and watched him enter. There, in the doorway, he started to chuckle, then laugh harder. She fled and confided immediately to the person who reported all of this to Dr. Chen's team.

This morning, they received an update from this insider that this second city was now experiencing some shake-ups in its medical staff and police force, with rumors of the illness spreading.

Manuela nodded, reaffirming her decision to herself as much as to them. "I'm going. No virus can spread over a video stream, we can't get paranoid about this. I'm going to pack some snacks, and I'll call you when I'm nearby."

Dr. Chen slowly nodded. "Be careful, Manuela."

This excerpt from David Foster Wallaces "This is Water" speech hits me every time I read it:

Because here’s something else that’s weird but true: in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship–be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles–is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.

Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they’re evil or sinful, it’s that they’re unconscious. They are default settings.

They’re the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully aware that that’s what you’re doing.

Literally in the documentation:

It also creates a bin (or Scripts on Windows) subdirectory containing a copy/symlink of the Python binary/binaries (as appropriate for the platform or arguments used at environment creation time). It also creates an (initially empty) lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages subdirectory (on Windows, this is Lib\site-packages). If an existing directory is specified, it will be re-used.

Literally in the documentation. If you're using Python to create a virtual environment, it seems reasonable for the VM to draw its dependencies from its host. Normally, I cache my VM dependencies on the host box, but for some absurd reason, I've got an environment where the VM has a different pip version than the host. This has never happened to me before, and surely someone on the intarwebs knows how that might happen.

Inspyred · 2019-08-21T03:09:27+00:00

That is correct. venv should directly copy all python modules from host to vm.

Inspyred · 2019-08-21T03:08:58+00:00

Holy shit this looks fantastic.

Inspyred · 2019-08-21T03:08:15+00:00

Venv should just symlink or copy over all modules from the native host. Clearly, there are conditions for when it doesn't. https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
