@Seggan oops meat words

Ginger

I was briefly very confused

Rydwolf Programs

oooh "meat" -> "meant"

I was also wondering what a meat word was

@RydwolfPrograms oglaf?

Rydwolf Programs

Pretty NSFW webcomic (one of the ones linked to under xkcd)

Revise the "pretty NSFW" to "very NSFW" actually

lyxal

Unrelated String

yeah that definitely felt like an oglaf kind of conversation

@lyxal i forget where i read this but i think the author described it at one point as "an attempt at porn with a plot that devolved into comedy near-instantly"

Rydwolf Programs

That's on the warning that shows up when you try to visit it for the first time lol

Unrelated String

oh yeah

For the search thing I may or may not be about to start working on, I have come up with no less than 12 types of NSFW which the comics can be classified as :p

ALSO RABBIT WOOOOOOORKS

I AM SO HAPPY

anyhow the archive does actually have safe tags for the safe entries but it's if nothing else telling that that's the exceptional case :P

and some of the "safe" ones like this week's are still pretty borderline

great comic though

Rydwolf Programs

00:38

Is there anything else I should hypothetically include aside from title, alt text, provided description of safety level, NSFW content types, a transcript, list of characters, and misc. tags?

lyxal

@Ginger yes I agree with this

Unrelated String

can't really think of anything more than that

hey wait it's International Women's Day

lyxal

TIL Rydvylf is into OHS regulations

@Ginger cries in I don't have any women

Rydwolf Programs

@Ginger That reminds me of one of the funniest things I've seen

Ginger

Rydwolf Programs

Some alt-right-y guy being all "well why isn't there an intenational men's day"

And someone was just like, there is

Goofy overly specific captchas

What is up with those anyway? It feels like it's just generated a prompt and used something like dalle to make the images

Ginger

it has

that's how it works

Unrelated String

you'd really think the last thing they'd want to use ai to generate is... images to filter out ai

Ginger

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DEFEAT THE AI, NOT JOIN IT!

Unrelated String

like there are systematic distortions that could make blindly using a similar model hard, but

lyxal

02:58

you know what would be funny? Creating a word document where the language per sentence constantly changes between EN (US) and EN (UK)

because you can set language for selected text

Unrelated String

LMAO

come to think of it isn't word's format just xml
so that shouldn't even be too hard to do to an existing document

Aaaand my backlog of assignments is at 20 :|

The oldest one is only from the 26th tho, and only four are overdue (none of which are for grades), which isn't the worst it's been I guess

Luckily Spring Break is approaching and my family will be gone the whole time (WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) so I can catch up on the seven math assignments I need to do

It seems like everyone decided npm start wasn't cool. Every tool like Vite and stuff always does npm run dev now

Well, I've found a bug in Google Draw

under very specific circumstances resizing a shape with a line attached to a height of zero quickly enough causes it to crash

it's weird, because it doesn't always seem to happen

@parz TIL. That makes it even more ridiculous how Major League Baseball in the US and Canada calls its championships the "World Series."

Also TIL:

Baseball5

Baseball5 (B5) is an internationally played safe haven game with many of the same rules as baseball and softball, which is governed alongside those sports by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC).The game revolves around two teams of five players taking turns playing offense and defense, with each of the offensive team's players taking turns hitting a small rubber ball with their bare hands into the field of play (which is a 21 m (68.90 ft)-square), and then running counterclockwise around four bases (13 m (42.65 ft) apart) laid out in a square shape to score a run, while the defensive...

@lyxal It does happen sometimes

What if you bought both a put and a call option on a biotech stock

You'd pay twice the premium, but since they tend to either do really well or really poorly, it seems like you'd basically always profit

Unless something weird happened like the clinical trial results being inconclusive

In which case your losses are still just two option premiums in the worst case scenario

Let’s run some numbers. Internet suggests llama upkeep costs are around \$1,000 a year; the cost of an adult llama is as much again. Presumably the latter would go down significantly due to economies of scale, but to be conservative, suppose not. Add another \$1,000 per llama-year for admin overhead. Around 1.5% of the population will be 43 each year. So per million of population, this scheme will cost \$3,000 * 1.5% * 1,000,000 = \$45m. So an investment fund of c. \$ 2 billion with 2.5% yield would fund it in perpetuity, or at least until the alpaca revolution comes. — Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine Sep 18, 2017 at 8:10

Do you guys feel like absurdist humor is kinda…lazy?

Like, it’s certainly funny, but it’s much easier to come up with a ridiculous government policy than to craft a witty joke

Rydwolf Programs

Not when it's done well

Any examples of that? Totally not asking because I’m bored and need entertainment
