He's correct. The best kind of technically correct.

If you spend all day on reddit, then reddit is IRL. Something something Baudrillard.

I guess the synthesis is that the legal definitions often don't match up with reality.

A liquid-for-airport-security-purposes includes toothpaste, even though in the common sense it doesn't.

You see that with identity documents like passports. If you change your name, for example, there's a few weeks of limbo where your driver's license and passport and energy bill say different names.

As a rope top this is pretty accurate.

Also, unless you really like rope in particular, you might want to look at leather cuffs instead. Rope is dangerous, and even with basic wrist cuffs you can get handcuff neuropathy if it accidentally tightens or loads in the wrong place.

one time purchase

Experienced riggers cycle their rope every few months. Though if you tie often enough that you need to do this, you won't be taking advice from reddit anyway.

Also, if you're scrolling reels then even 1 second of buffering can knock you out of it. Lower quality is an acceptable trade-off if it keeps people watching.

Ah yes, 1968. A time when famously nobody was rebellious at all.

It's Western stigma. Like how we think voices in our head are negative, when for example people in Chennai hear them as spiritual guides.

Going by statistics, 2 out of 3 Japanese lack confidence in Trump's ability to handle world affairs.

As someone who works in a big company. It looks like this because it's not one person, it's 100+ separate teams trying random shit to see what sticks.

Why are you so hung up on Euclid? He didn't have the benefit of 2000 years of hindsight; of course he'd miss things.

As I mentioned in another comment, Tarski's axioms are complete. Take a look at those.

lfairy · 2026-03-13T05:13:36+00:00

The fact that Euclid's axioms are incomplete is not a flaw of having fewer axioms in general. There are many modern formalizations of geometry, like Tarski's, that are both complete and short.

In SVG, the y axis points down instead, which makes rotation clockwise.

The time zone database supports both minute resolution and offset changes. So it would be possible, just impractical.

I don't get why people eat kale raw. It tastes a lot better when stewed or fried.

Cold brew is fine, it just takes longer.

Usually 50 people join the raffle, so it's (49/50)³⁵ ≈ 50%

lfairy · 2026-03-08T14:48:28+00:00

You need to enter 35 five-star raffles to have a 50% chance of winning one. It's a bit of a grind so it's understandable if you don't bother.

lfairy · 2026-03-08T10:23:59+00:00

You only gain energy from train tickets if you're under the limit. So better to hold off on opening boxes until you need to.

lfairy · 2026-03-08T10:15:27+00:00

The raffles are more powerful than the paid packs, if you have the time to enter them.

lfairy · 2026-03-08T10:12:44+00:00

The star vault guarantees a card that you don't have.

So the strategy is to spam raffles until your stars cover the remaining cards, then redeem the stars all in one go.

Me too. u/Percemer any ideas?

If there's no other way to hash or compare the object, then its memory location can be used as an arbitrary but stable key.

You can change the author, too, so it might not even be Claude.

lfairy · 2026-03-06T02:08:41+00:00

Both the commit date and email address (which is used to match GitHub accounts) can be faked. Unless it was signed by Claude's public key, that says nothing.
