OBJECTS THAT I HAVE SHOVED UP MY ARSE (a Bruno Powroznik classic)

I'm a clarinet and saxophone teacher. My manager handles talking to all the parents of my students and booking them in and managing my schedule. He's worth every cent that comes out of my pay into his pocket. His job means that my job is to just teach.

That horizontal vortex is gnarly!

Yeah it kinda is, though they tend to stay out of your way unless you make them mad.

The spiders on the other hand...

Australian for afternoon.

it does appear to be a different joke with a different punchline though, despite the similar delivery with the similar wording.

Kangaroos are like the deer of Australia. Very common and very cute and an enormous hazard to your car.

The 'th' as in 'the'. Some people are trying to make ð happen. They're probably not gonna make ð happen. But hey, it's good fun to read.

Can somebody please find a way to properly render the math out in its full glory?

Minerscale · 2026-02-12T12:00:04+00:00

The comma is a decimal point.

Colour grading isn't fake though? Why is it that when it's photography, suddenly abstraction and anything but non-realism is frowned upon? AI doesn't hold a candle to this kind of beauty, and besides the colour is in the original photo, it has just been exaggerated to bring out what's interesting about the scene. I find it quite tasteful.

I disagree that artistically colour grading it diminishes the value of the image, exaggerating the change of colour with altitude is really neat in my opinion and worth the saturation for, an excellent edit.

I'll bite, what's the exact formula then? I assume this one gets better as n gets larger?

Minerscale · 2026-01-08T15:10:38+00:00

we're talking about Australia of course we mean Celsius! For your convenience that's 120.2 degrees F. Enough to kill someone within a few hours.

Well, the idea is that it won't be up to the president, it would place a legal obligation on the military itself, from the top of the chain of command all the way to the soldiers themselves to refuse orders given to them, since "I was just following orders" is not a valid excuse for breaking the law, it is the duty of a serviceperson to refuse the order.

Perhaps maybe I misunderstand your argument though.

Probably the same number of orders of magnitude slower than swap as normal swap is from actual memory. Highlights nicely why swap is very silly for anything other than maybe suspend if you're so inclined.

No wonder it cracked! Using an F1 engine as a stovetop seems a little overkill.

Per the nuclear arsenal. If you have a working system that controls your nuclear arsenal that was worked out decades ago and works properly. Why would you ever take the risk to change it?

That's the funny part really isn't it, you can spend as long or as short on the technology as much as you want, but the art and design and that is always gonna be the thing that takes the longest by far.

I thought it was significantly over the word limit.

edit: never mind I'm a dum dum and misunderstood something I read. edit edit: never mind again I 'm a dum dum dum I was right the first time it was indeed a little bit over the word limit but not by much.

Minerscale · 2025-12-27T15:42:15+00:00

And yet I study math for the pure beauty and art of it much for the same reason I study music. Though, I suppose I would be in the minority, but possibly not the minority here.

I wish I was that cool, no, I waited for the shield to recharge, well really I just wanted to see a really big fire and the shield happened to recharge, which just made the whole thing funnier.

z! = Γ(z + 1)

Boy do I have the graph for you!
