We live for no other reason than that we can. Against all odds, in a universe that wasn’t trying to make us alive, we became more than the sum of our elements that compose us: to be the thinking and thriving things that we are - for as long as we are. Life itself is an act of defiance against the universe, but ultimately playing by it’s rules with the understanding that we can only do so for a finite amount of time.

Your cat too was one of those defiant and emergent souls that used the universe as it’s playground full of strangers, bullies, and friends alike. Never forget that which it did not know: that its time was short but miraculous in the grand scheme of a universe borne of chaos but twinkling with unexpected life.

I think he meant to word it, if you take 5% of the initial population every year for 12 years, how much of that initial population is left, no?

That’s not something windows can do

Are we talking about the same thing? I’m talking about nuclear energy not nukes. And if you are talking about nuclear power plants, in what world do you think it’s impossible to build enough to have a meaningful impact? Each power plant produces a crazy amount of energy. Far more than solar and wind can. Solar and wind by themselves will in no way overtake fossil fuel power plants fast enough. Nuclear energy would be a great replacement until then.

IDK if you know this, but renewables aren’t on their own to cover all of our power needs everywhere.

More countries should adopt a similar philosophy for ways to end global warming.

I was literally about to post that quote. The fact they call it that is hilariously ominous.

When I first got into ps2 emulation I tried Jak and Dexter and it worked great. The only issue were the eyes of character models were wonky as hell and would often look in different directions, not load, broken textures, etc. I snapped this screenshot of Jak right after the green sage yelled at him and he stood at attention with his eyes crossed. I use this photo for everything now even though it’s so tiny you can’t see his eyes.

Wait is Quark crying latinum?

In high school, my friends and I were getting into Ubuntu. We were smug Linux nerds. We came up with the idea of installing Linux on one of the school computers. The challenges in doing so was, how to do so without the teacher noticing and getting into the locked bios. The teacher problem was solved when we got a little bit of time when the teacher would step out of the room sometimes. We picked a desktop that wasn’t being used by anyone at the time in the class. The other problem was getting into the bios to boot the drive. Long story short, we were able to switch a jumper on the motherboard to clear the bios settings and let us boot the drive. With Ubuntu installed, it took all of about a day for the school to take that PC to the IT gulag. I think they were very confused and threw it out. We didn’t want them to just throw more desktops out so we stopped our shenanigans there.
