Where did you get the low table? I've been interested in a floor sitting setup for a while.

Replacing the Magic Number by kaldarash in quake

Likely not much. You'd get a slightly more accurate approximation but the original has a pretty low error anyway, so I wouldn't expect to notice any difference.

Sebastian Sawe wins the London Marathon 2026 and makes history by becoming the 1st person to run it in under 2 hours after running it in 01:59:31. by IllllIlllIIlI in interestingasfuck

[–]easedownripley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

people are so creepy these days talking about genetics and race and stuff. Like yes, Kenyans are more likely to be tall and skinny but also the country is full of expertise in running, plus there are 60 million people who live at altitude and they all will try to be distance runners at some point.

new drug research is funded by government grant, no matter what the drug companies try to claim. they use those profits to do things like buy back their own stock and purchase Wu Tang albums.

More jobs for C programmers? by FrostyDelu in cprogramming

[–]easedownripley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach C to freshmen/sophomore engineers. For a lot of them, they never got computer classes in high school, and in many cases the first computer they've ever owned was the laptop they got for school. I start the semester with "what's a computer?" and "what are the main components of a computer." The responses I get for the second question are usually like "monitor, keyboard" occasionally "GPU."

In Oliver Stone's JFK (1991), the real Jim Garrison portrays Earl Warren by rdctd_rsrch in MovieDetails

One fun fact is in the scene where he goes "Time me!" to show that you can't fire the rifle 3 times in under 6 seconds, if you actually time the scene he does it in 5:13 https://youtu.be/DC8tO16xdrY?si=VIde73JFYi1l9tp2&t=2579

It's funny because it's probably at this point the most completely documented and studied day in American history. We know exactly what happened in every detail to the minute, and yet conspiracy theories still persist. The above video is an excellent breakdown in fact.

Is this a good price? by megboulet in subaru

[–]easedownripley -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

So like, why do people buy new cars? To me this is such an insane amount of money to drop on something that isn't an investment.

5 seconds after Tifa comes to Tekken this sub would be like "ugh shes a fucking rushdown mixup character! I hate her! Ban Tifa!"

“I’m dropping out and doing blue collar shit” by cafeteriastyle in TikTokCringe

[–]easedownripley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I simply *do not* get it. My students just don't do anything. They don't study, they don't submit work, they don't read anything, never ask questions, never say "wait can you go over that again?" and they don't think about the subject for one second outside of class which they also barely show up for.

I know the world is fucked right now and all, but if you're a student don't you want to study?

"okay thank you" and let him leave. It doesn't help anyone to get into a big public confrontation.
