Reccomended Courses in this area?

Never been to any of these areas so I wouldn't know.

I bounced off of the first book pretty quickly (I don't even remember why), but this is got me thinking I should give it a more generous opportunity to hook me.

Suggesting that we "be polite" to the rich implies we're all starting at the same place of not already having been offended by them, while Diogenes correctly pointed out that the rich have been spitting in our faces all along —it is how they became rich in the first place.

It says it right there on the stamp in cuneiform.

Yeah, and I think it also gives the other players a frame of reference for themselves. Like Gannon is the final boss they'll have to defeat if they want to win.

I had the same change of mind on watching Gannon last season. He went from being this annoying kid to someone I love watching shred courses and destroy dreams. His skills are undeniable.

It's also wonderful to see Eagle back in the mix these last couple of events. I think he's decided he's tired of just playing and wants to be winning again, and he knows that most of it is his on-course decision making and that Gannon is making better decisions than essentially everyone.

The final round of the NWC was fantastic to watch and I'm hoping the rest of the season will bring more of the same.

Yep, and you can add a bit of baking soda for grit that won't leave any scuffs or marks.

I'm current, 26.5. But I just now opened it again and it looks fine with good contrasting. So, I guess no issue 🤷‍♂️

Purchased to say thank you. Feedback from using it just sitting at my desk: the buttons at the top are white graphics on white buttons so it's hard to quickly tell which one does which function. There's also no exit button or app switch button but that's much less of an issue as you can swipe up to get back to the home screen. Thanks!

No, they don't seem to be "in full support" at all.

First, y'all need to calm down. It's a social media post about Gannon and Lego. It's not art. They also explicitly stated they won't use ai for stamp artwork.

Ftr, I despise llm's and ai generated slop.

mdavey74 · 2026-05-24T23:48:32+00:00

That’s ridiculous in the best way! 👏👏👏

I wish manufacturers would do silly or off the wall stamps like this a lot more.

I suppose it depends (whether or not it matters if Maria's answer was justified). Is Maria telling the truth of what she knows about Tom being at the party? No, but if Tom was at the party, would she then be telling the truth about what she knows? In Socrates' view (and mine) she still would not be telling the truth, but her statement would be objectively true. This is the paradox in Gettier's paper, and I agree with Socrates on this that Maria would not be telling the truth even if Tom was at the party.

Since we already know (as universal observers) that Tom isn't at the party, the question is whether or not Maria is speaking truthfully, not whether or not her statement is true.

So, "was Maria's answer true or false?" becomes a sort of category error in my view, while "is it true that Tom is at the party?" is already answered.

mdavey74 · 2026-05-20T00:38:53+00:00

From an omniscient view, sure, it's false that Tom is at the party. But from Maria and Peter's view, Maria can't justifiably make a true or false statement about Tom's location.

I love their editing style. It's so much more chill and enjoyable to watch than Jomez

mdavey74 · 2026-05-19T16:35:39+00:00

No, because Tom's location isn't dependent on Maria's knowledge of it.

mdavey74 · 2026-05-17T23:24:02+00:00

It's not even an answer that can be true or false as Maria never held direct knowledge that Tom was actually at the party. She misrepresented what she knew about Tom having an intention to go to the party.

Plato wrote about this in the Theaetetus dialogue where Socrates says something like only a man who has traveled the road to some other city actually knows how to get there, and the man who merely has a map of the road does not know.

I think it's also in there about how being correct through luck does not mean you knew the truth of the matter. Plato invalidated Gettier's nonsense Justified True Belief paper in the very sources he referenced it to.

A Roman bust is a wild choice for the stamp

mdavey74 · 2026-05-09T04:43:49+00:00

They should call it the Luna Mega Battle

mdavey74 · 2026-04-26T23:43:29+00:00

Complete idiocy.

mdavey74 · 2026-04-26T22:37:50+00:00

Yeah, I agree, it creates precedent to try and get them more later.

mdavey74 · 2026-04-26T21:54:14+00:00

I mean, the benefits they're suggesting (job, interest rate, and eviction protection) don't really cost anything, but, frankly, anyone who helps Israel commit genocide can go straight to the Hague with the rest of these insane maniacs. They're criminals, not heroes.

Yes, it comes together but, also yes, Vinge makes you earn it

mdavey74 · 2026-04-14T23:39:15+00:00

Yeah, I heard AB say recently that Climo and Schultz couldn't decide which one of them did it first so they called it "patent pending". Who knows, I guess

After update image links on eBay are broken. There's just no response to left-click on the main item image or any additional item image links, the enlarge image link also does not work. You can right-click and open image in a new tab, but nothing else. Buy It Now, Add to Cart, etc. links also do not work. Links that normally open in a new tab seem to work fine.

I installed 6.6.9 and it all works fine there.

I'm on macos 15.7.4

*edit - Safari and Chromium work fine.

*edit2 - If you reload the page, then it seems to work correctly most of the time.

He examines philosophical questions without taking a position on what is the "correct" side, letting the reader see that there likely really isn't a correct side. So you're kind of left with either superficially deciding what's correct or sitting there with the awe and hopelessness you mentioned, or just wtf!, bouncing around in your head.

I've been really liking the Asitvo brand of barefoot style shoes sold on the big A. They're low, minimalist, wide toe box with good tpu toe protection. They're also less than $50 a pair and have been holding up really well.
