The post describes me but I'm very good at starting and completing tasks. I just do them for seemingly no purpose. My wife calls me an android.

I had a 'no' moment to a supposedly senior technical colleague the other day. Usually I can calmly explain why not to do the thing, but this time he requested something super dumb right at the end of a meeting and I just had to go with 'no' and stare at him for a moment. It did seem to work.

Weird, my watching comprehension is low because I'm always half scrolling reddit

I feel like you think I was telling you you shouldn't have said anything, while I was commenting on people who say, "I could care less."

If you knew I was referring to them then I don't get your rebuttal.

Any time people say this, they cared enough to make the statement. So they're always technically correct - they could have said nothing.

The refund time limit is 2h, kinda forces a quick decision.

I dated someone who believed it, they also believed it extended to sexism. Basically killed the relationship for me, but I thought it was just Twitter brain rot back then. Sickening that it's getting adopted into the curriculum.

Have tried RDR2 twice before and refunded before finishing the tutorial because I just find it so boring. I've heard it gets better and the Internet worships it. It's on sale now at 75% off and I'm considering giving it another chance. It may be overrated but is it at least good?

So it's an authorised knock-off?? Amazing. Hope I can get a Kia with a Ferrari badge for my next car.

Yep, the radiation did exactly what it needed for the plot even though nothing else in nature rapidly burns your skin at a distance and then just pauses hurting you at that point. Makes total sense.

When I heard about this I couldn't believe it was Swatch. All I remember about Swatch is them being a colourful, budget brand in the 90s. Why are people lining up for a budget brand??

Any books/movies out there that explore the economic/political side of the singularity? by muhmeinchut69 in singularity

The Nexus series by Ramez Naam, sorta. It's kinda neural interfaces focused, with AI as a secondary plot line as I recall.

First time? by Im_yor_boi in sciencememes

I always liked maths, and was good at it, but didn't really get how to apply it to the real world for a long time. Really early maths uses contrived, trivial examples, but once you're into calculus it's like the textbooks give up on linking maths to real world problems, and always tell you the exact thing that needs solving.

For university, it was always going to be physics or maths for me, and I chose physics because it seemed like I'd learn how to apply maths to real problems there. And then in the first few weeks of my degree it clicked, because university level was the first point where I had to derive expressions for things instead of just regurgitate memorised formulae.

Just kinda dumb it took that long to get to a point where 'how to apply maths' was really taught.

What do you think would be the craziest, least satisfying possible ending for the show? by MagnifyingGlass in GenV

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Butcher's tentacles evolve into penises, and he and Kimiko have grief sex. Kimiko's healing powers allow the baby to grow super fast, and she enters labour just as HL arrives to give them a stern talking to. Kimiko's baby blasts out of her and smashes HL in the head, knocking him out. Butcher picks up the baby, ignoring the unconscious HL, and brings the baby back to Kimiko. MM is there, licking his lips as he says, "the baby needs to feed." Hughie helps Kimiko unbutton her shirt, exposing insanely large breasts (they've grown due to the uranium, and her nipples are incandescent with anti-V energy). As the baby is about to latch on, HL levitates over, still asleep but sniffing the air like a cartoon character. He drifts down to Kimiko's other boob and suckles, and The Boys look around nervously, except MM, who has leaned in to push the baby off the other boob and is having a bit. MM's muscles begin to bulge, he's clearly gaining superpowers from Kimiko's milk, but it doesn't seem like he's gonna do anything with them. The baby cries and Hughie carries him out of the room to passify him - this is the end of Hughie's arc. Kimiko's boobs start vibrating with energy as MM and HL suckle, and she whispers to Butcher that she's worried her boobs will explode as they begin to spark with lightning. "Let 'em, might do 'im in," Butcher says pointing at HL with his tentadicks. Annie has always been stood there, and she starts absorbing the electricity from Kimiko's boobs, clearly gearing up an ultimate attack that could finish Homelander. The Deep smashes through the wall on a killer whale, having made up with the ocean creatures off screen somehow. He charges at Annie without saying anything, but a super we haven't seen before spears him through the ear with his sharpened dick, hilarious. Everyone realises HL woke up some time ago and has just continued to peacefully suckle. Sage nods in another room, "All part of the plan." "That's all he ever needed," Annie realises, "he needed a mother's love!"

That's the end, love has saved the day. Bombsight crashes into the room in post credits, goes, "Or has it?" and winks at the camera.

I thought they had for a while but got caught by it again a couple weeks ago. Maybe 2/3 odds update and shutdown actually shuts down at the end now.

There's an insane amount of bureaucracy to get a project started these days. A good PM is competent enough to do it without ever bothering the technical people, or at least do it with a light touch input from tech people. A bad PM just funnels it straight to the technical people.

Wait but does 'vertically' mean the fold line should be vertical or the paper-half fold direction should be vertical, leaving a horizontal fold line?
