When You Die - MGMT

Overnight oats like this are superb. You can put all sorts of stuff in, even goodies like peanut butter, vanilla, or cacao.

Not much room for dialogue from there.

What? Map projections are not projected to manipulate you psychologically. They are projected to manipulate a three dimensional object onto a two dimensional surface.

Oh boy! Are you serious? Let me be more precise, in case. There aren’t actual projections that are better in all cases than the Mercator projection. There are maps that are better in given cases. ALL maps have trade offs. The one you shared, included. It certainly benefits from the humor of pointing out why this is an issue in the first place.

I don’t believe that 99% figure for a second. Unless geography is removed from all curricula worldwide. Even still, that ignorance would not signify what this movement implies. It is a useful map; end of story. If the movement were, “We should increase public knowledge of geography and how projections work,” fine. But it isn’t.

There aren’t better maps. Only maps with different tradeoffs. ALL 2d maps of spheres are disproportionate.

This is such a garbage take. There is no way to “show our world as it truly is” in two dimensions. I’m all about showing other projects and orientations. Classrooms should have “upside down” maps and Albert maps for example. But we should also teach that each projection has benefits and drawbacks. I was taught that decades ago. Have we stopped?

Ho Ly Shit. Alright. This just feels good. So many years have passed, and we’re still suffering loss. I love it.

How does liking gridiron football equate to believing the US is exemplary or better than other nations? Or maybe you think the definition of American exceptionalism is, “Likes something American”. Calling people dumb because you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about isn’t a good look.

How? Because somebody likes something? That isn’t American exceptionalism.

I’ll say this, the sub seems borderline tame or even progressive when compared to its Reddit counterpart.

I really think so.

Not all oil is salty. I suppose there are probably pros and cons to composting it, but I’d expect it to draw pests like crazy.

Some lessons only take once to cement the learning for a lifetime.

I had a murdered G37s named Stella. Was a fun time in life. Happy not to have a car at all now.

Elite in VR is a singular, unparalleled gaming experience. I can run minerals in a Type 6 back and forth like bus driving is my job.

I always thought Salmon Run looked so fun when my daughter played, but I never gave it a go.

Fair enough, but assuming you’re using any of several package managers, seems like libc shouldn’t be an issue. Nevertheless, I clearly misunderstood you. Anyway, alpha 7 for 24.04 is out now.

PopOS was only initially released in 2017, making it one of the newer distributions. It is actively developed and really pushing the needle in the community. It is a great option. Don’t know what distro you’re actually thinking of, but it isn’t Pop.
