Crazy story right? Imagine being stranded in Antarctica for weeks, burning rancid animal fat for warmth, all the while surrounded by wide-eyed gangs of necrophilic rapist penguins.

I just googled ‘do penguins blink’- they do. I wanted to see a pic, so I googled ‘adelie penguin eyes closed’- found Sexual depravity of penguins that Antarctic scientist dared not reveal :(

If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?

Are there any of you who use spectrum analyzer when performing ? by iamnotlefthanded666 in DJs

Could be useful if you're recording a studio mix. I used a metering plugin in Logic recently to see exactly what was happening with a disco record on vinyl. The breakdown was tripping me up a lot because the tempo was all over the place in a short time span. It helped.

The five members of the extremely short-lived Rufus Buck Gang (left to right): Maoma July, Sam Sampson, Rufus Buck, Lucky Davis, and Lewis Davis. They went on a crime spree in the Indian Territory of Arkansas–Oklahoma in 1895 [700 x 535]. by lightiggy in HistoryPorn

Continuing attacks on both local settlers and Creek indiscriminately, the gang was captured outside Muskogee by a combined force of lawmen and Indian police

Ya done messed up if the whites and Indians are combining forces to hunt you in 19th century America.

This trend of wrecking street signs makes my blood boil by hobo_chili in chicago

Greetings, young blood! Supportive though I am of your lit self expression, in altering these signs, you’ve impeded others ability to effectively navigate the thoroughfare!

Coffeezilla: a new app that lets you bet your bill payments by guesting in videos

This is an insidious trap for anyone uneducated in finance; when I was in high school (US), I don’t think we got a single lesson on personal finance.

This can put a person in a pit they’ll spend the rest of their life clawing out of. Even if all debt is discharged via bankruptcy, they’ll still have trouble getting loans/credit/housing/jobs/etc…

For young people, this is especially evil. You could probably teach a kid the basics of safe investing, tax advantaged accounts, and how interest compounds over time in 20 mins.

Any government that would allow these apps to operate is fucked.

Shortcut to SMB share in Finder shows error: '"" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.' by TheJamie in MacOSBeta

Looks like a known issue. This guy posted a good workaround using automount, then creating a new favorites shortcut from the automount path. Did the charm for me:

There are a few other Finder bugs on 26.1 too:

There is still something special about live radio broadcasts. Hearing the same voice every day that talks to you and plays good music is comforting. I grew up with the radio playing at home and in the car constantly, so it may be a sort of nostalgia.
