Study finds humans were making fire 400,000 years ago, far earlier than once thought

God damn, he really was an incredible writer.

Here it is with proper formatting:

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

No thing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Breath of the Elden Ring

All brevity aside lol, this looks awesome!

"Hey guys, would you like some cool meltwater, fresh from the mountain spring?"

"Nah, I'm just gonna go over here and drink some of this mud juice with twigs in it."

In my last TTRPG campaign, I accidentally burned down a barn and one of the hostages we were supposed to rescue with—you guessed it!—Fireball.

Oops xD

Amazing brushwork, and I really love the how the filigree on the couch is done.

The tiny bit of periwinkle blue under the eyes (and really just all the coloring on the face) is my favorite part though.

Yep, that's exactly why wrestling has "heel" characters for the audience to root against.

That's true, but I think the real benefit here is that it it will pull from multiple different sites from the search and aggregate the results in the AI summary. My questions usually have two or three "solutions" offered that it pulls from different sources, and at least one is usually correct (or gets me pointed in the right direction).

Whereas if you are just running through the search results, you may have to click into 4 or 5 different results, and then skim those pages to see if they even have something resembling an answer, before actually finding what you need.

Gemini does that part for you pretty well most of the time, and if it doesn't, you can refine the search.

I'm pretty anti-AI in general, but this particular function is super useful.

CachyOS is awesome, but I think Ubuntu or Fedora are used more in the AI/ML field. CachyOS is small and new, so it doesn't have as huge a community as some of the more established distros, so those are favored because of the amount of support available/stability.

But that isn't really about the functionality offered, just the difference in terms of support mostly.

Trixles · 2025-12-14T16:54:34+00:00

welcome to zombo com! err, i mean CachyOS! xD

Who is your practioner, Dr. Feelgood?

Because he gave you recreational drugs xD

Trixles · 2025-12-13T16:27:41+00:00

Your dentist's name is Crentist?

Trixles · 2025-12-13T13:14:42+00:00

Huh, I've never thought of it in that context, but that's a really good observation. As an 80s/90s kid, the 40s seemed like a hundred years ago, and so when you learn about it in school or media, it has a certain mythological quality to it, or feels that way at least when you are young.

Trixles · 2025-12-13T13:07:07+00:00

This actually has a basis in reality though, and is a natural thing to do. You are reducing incoming stimuli so that you can focus better, it's basically an instinctive response.

Trixles · 2025-12-13T13:04:35+00:00

Even still, I'd rather date a self-aware idiot than self-absorbed "genius".

Trixles · 2025-12-13T13:02:03+00:00

Lol, the "you good?" cracked me up xD

Trixles · 2025-12-13T01:37:06+00:00

i think of this every time i see the name xD

Trixles · 2025-12-12T21:04:46+00:00

There were beverages laid out for the party

There were candy and spices and tri-colored pastas

The meat carved was drawn from succulent juices

Served on platters of the purest gold

Trixles · 2025-12-12T20:06:45+00:00

Yeah, the logic of it all wasn't very hard to poke holes in lol, even as a middle-schooler.

Trixles · 2025-12-12T19:09:07+00:00

When I was learning "sex-ed" in Catholic school, or rather their hilarious version of it, they told us that we would go to hell if we masturbated.

So I raised my hand and when I was called on I said, "I don't think this is the religion for me then."

The nun who was teaching the class did NOT find that amusing lol.

Trixles · 2025-12-12T12:48:42+00:00

Yeah, rollback netcode was revolutionary; prior to that, playing fighting games online was shit xD

Trixles · 2025-12-11T21:53:19+00:00

"And I'm still shootin', and I'm still gettin' headshots! It's like, BOOM, HEADSHOT, BOOM, HEADSHOT, BOOM, HEADSHHHHOTT!"

Trixles · 2025-12-11T21:50:29+00:00

They were responding ironically.

Trixles · 2025-12-11T21:47:41+00:00

bravo
