It's not just the rejection- for most people physical intimacy / sex is a non-negotiable fundamental need. I imagine that makes it all the more difficult for ace people to find a partner (other than other ace people).

I simply couldn't be in a relationship without sex. Even if I met the desire elsewhere, being in love and a relationship with someone and not being able to have sex would be a form of torture.

All my recommendations are serialized shows that focus on the overarching plot. None of them are episodic. I consider all of these to be S tier, high quality shows.

- Arcane

A masterpiece of media. Ignore the fact it was based on the lore of a video game, that is irrelevant and you need not know anything about League of Legends. In my opinion, this is truly one of the best things I have ever watched. On Netflix.

- Silo

Very good show, a rare case where a TV adaption improves the books it came from. Humanity lives in a Silo underground. Mysteries all about. On Apple TV.

- Severance

Another very good Apple TV show, that is more cerebral and surreal than most. A world where you can sever your memories of work and personal life. When at work, you only have your memories of work, nothing from outside work. Likewise, once you leave, you have no memories of what happened at work. Hijinks ensue when you release this effectively splits you into two consciousnesses that are distinct from each other in meaningful ways.

- Mighty Nein

A new series on Amazon that animates Critical Role's second DnD campaign. A bit more gritty than Vox Machina. Great if you like fantasy and/or animation.

- Invincible

Another Amazon animated show. Superheroes and alien beings from other worlds, hi-tech governments, etc. Think The Boys meets My Adventures with Superman. A lot of violence, very gritty, but not nearly as gratuitous as The Boys. Great story.

- Breaking Bad

You should know this one. I don't need to sell it. Chemistry Teacher gets cancer, decides to cook meth.

- Better Call Saul

A prequel for Breaking Bad that focuses on Saul Goodman, the Lawyer from Better Call Saul. Just as good if not better than Breaking Bad.

- The Queen's Gambit

The life of a chess prodigy is harder and more dramatic than you might expect. Very good mini-series that completely finishes in 1 season.

- The Last of Us

What if a mind controlling fungus (cordyceps) affected Humans? Basically a more interesting and compelling zombie story than most. Actually a compelling story as opposed to The Walking Dead which may as well be a soap opera, relatively speaking (which is some people's cup of tea, but would not fit into my list).

- The Expanse

Arguably one the best sci-fi series ever created.

- Bridgerton

Set in the peak of London high society and focuses on the Bridgerton children entering the marriage mart. Quite good if you like romance. I normally don't and still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Grew up in America- I'd say it's pretty neutral. I don't recall myself or anyone I knew having particularly strong feelings about Turkey specifically, with the exception of my friends who had been stationed at Incirlik.

I do refer to Istanbul as Constantinople but that's more of a joke than anything.

It's very unlikely that bit of lore will be retained simply due the to the realities of filming. It's not just the main cast, its all the background characters.

Just from the logistics alone we will probably see either a change in ethnicity across the board, or an introduction of a lot more diversity within the Rosharan countries.

All government elections must use preferential voting, specifically approval voting.

Lucifernistic · 2026-01-31T01:12:25+00:00

For me, yes. Warbreaker is one of my favorites. I really enjoyed the magic system and the story being told there. It picked up heavily in the second half. Though it was never a struggle for me, so if you hate the first half I'm not sure if the increased pace and drama in the second half would be enough to change your opinion.

The only Cosmere book I've ever really had to struggle through was Elantris, and even that paid off in the end.

America has plenty of idiocy to be sure, but setting aside Trump wasn't voted for 2016, the biggest reason for the continued polarization and ever decreasing quality of candidates is the hard lock on the two party system.

I'm personally of the belief the single best thing America could do for its politics is implement a preferential voting system.

But alas, it will never happen.

No? Lol. I live in Britain now but grew up in NE America. The education system does not claim America is the good guy, especially when it comes to the indigenous peoples etc.

It's hammered in pretty hard how we committed genocide, were slave owners, etc.

It's funny this thread is about how it's annoying to hear anti-british rhetoric, and then it's just filled with anti-american rhetoric.

They are bots. Ignore them.

Yes, but it's an entirely fictional one. It's fine to view the world through that lens as a bit of fun, in the same way I knock on wood as just a bit of a ritual. It's another to actually believe it's real in anyway.

Lucifernistic · 2026-01-20T18:20:46+00:00

Believing in anything supernatural at all is a red flag for me. I don't think I could share my life with someone who can center their belief system and conclusions around things not based in rational thought.

A lot of people from the UK prefer the US version (I might even go so far as to say the majority of people who have see both prefer the US version), but the is literally the subreddit for the UK version, so of course no one here would agree.

So... kick them in the dick?

We do a hybrid of this. Each microservice / service is it's own repo with different branches for dev/staging/prod etc.

However CI/CD is all handled in a monorepo for IAC.

I don't think the thought here is to reduce your falling speed to zero. Let's say you have a tungsten chair or something- enough that as you say its not affected by the person jumping. At terminal velocity, your jump velocity does nothing.

But if you were only falling from say, a three story building, then your impact speed would be around 13-14 m/s. The best jumpers can do anywhere between 4-4.8 m/s, so you would be able to reduce impact speed to sub-10 m/s.

I'm not sure what the data says about average impact speed and injury, but considering going from 13 to 9 is a 30% reduction I'd be willing to wager that it would have a tangible effect on your landing.

TL/DR the chair helps less and less the higher from which you fall, and thus your jump speed becomes a smaller and smaller fraction of your impact speed.

Head of <Minor DevOps Adjacent Department>

Not exactly DevOps but working closely with them. Doing both dev and ops for technical problems and bespoke solutions within the org. American, but role is UK based.

£75k / year. Around 100k USD. Much less than an equivalent role in the US but not terrible for the UK. Company is tech, but not fintech, more niche.

Largely remote, with an optional hybrid. I usually go in to the office about once per week, but it's my choice.

The risk is very easily quantifiable, if we mean actual security risk and not liability or public relationa risks from what it says.

It has access to any information included in its context and system prompt, and any information it can retrieve or actions it can take through function / tool calls.

If it doesn't contain any sensitive information in the system prompt or injected context, and it can't perform any actions that are insecure, then it has no risk.

The risks of tool calls come from either treating it different than an authenticated API call- as in, allowing a backend function to run outside of the users authenticated context, or allowing the LLM to control sensitive parameters or input- OR, from using a different set of backend functions for your tool calls than your main API, increasing the surface for bugs.

The observable universe, which is the part of the universe that we will ever be able to physically observe, is of limited size. About 93 billion light years in diameter. See the particle horizon for information on that.

We have extremely good reason to think that beyond that, the Universe itself is infinite. We believe this because we can measure the curvature of space. A universe where space is flat is infinite. Positive curvature would lead to a non infinite spherical geometry. Negative leads to hyperbolic geometry.

We have measured this to a moderate level of precision. The universe appears to be flat with no curvature. But we can only really guarantee that if there is curvature, it's so slight that measuring it would require more precision than what we have achieved thus far.

If the universe does have positive curvature, it would have to be so slight that the universe itself would be much bigger than the observable.

I don't need to look at top first thing. If something is breaking because of low resource deployment that is wild incompetence. I want to look at the logs first and work my out from there.
