Me looking through yall’s memes for what I can send to my friends.

I realized just now that I didn’t know how an anteater’s mug works, and, well…

Is that the cuck album.

Etymonline says that ‘washed-up’ is from theatre slang.

Cats are actually pretty good at dealing with snakes thanks to their quick reaction. Though it’s not a guarantee.

When this was posted on Reddit, people explained that the cat probably sees the snake as prey, and so brings it to the place where he/she eats prey.

My favorite quote from the book:

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martialarts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken.

That sounds like a more reasonable automation than a robot arm.

‘Funes’ was apparently inspired by Solomon Shereshevsky, who was ‘active in 1920s’, whatever exactly that means. The article on mnemonists lists a couple more living around that time, but nobody earlier.

List of people claimed to possess an eidetic memory has two or three people born around 1860-'70, and among earlier murky claims a notable outlier Leonhard Euler:

He was able to, for example, repeat the Aeneid of Virgil from beginning to end without hesitation, and for every page in the edition he could indicate which line was the first and which was the last even decades after having read it.

The article on ‘memory sport’ says: “Techniques for training memory are discussed as far back as ancient Greece, and formal memory training was long considered an important part of basic education known as the art of memory” and cites ‘Secrets of a Mind-Gamer’ from NYT — but this is of course different from natural eidetic memory. ‘Art of memory’ also discusses techniques from the ancient times.

I guess my distaste for overcooked pasta is what keeps me together against the forgetfulness.

I use the timer in the clock app on the phone. But also, I have a dozen preprogrammed timers that I can start from a shortcut on the home screen, and two timers in the swipe-down menu that are accessible even with the phone being locked. These are all implemented with the Automate app (for Android) — which, for better or worse, requires a bit of programming chops, even though the ‘coding’ is visual instead of textual.

I mean, I still consider this page cool. It seems to have originated in 2016, and IMO it’s not quite the 90s ‘dancing baby’ design or Myspace, but instead has a definite whiff of Tumblr art circa early-mid 2010s. I liked psychedelic-ish Tumblr art, it gave a whimsical perspective on life.

Right? The article even says that the cone thing has been going on since the eighties, but apparently the council still hasn’t learned.

May I inquire as to which oil you mean — canola? As the staple oil varies by region, so I can’t be sure which one it is for you.

Dotlink — just someone’s personal page with a peculiar design.

It seems to be partly inspired by r/Ooer (you need to have custom subreddit css allowed on this link, or open it in an incognito tab).

Dunno about the artstyle: a lot of 90s to early-2000s 3d shooters had that grimy look, perhaps to show off the textures. But the jacket and the casually lowered gun definitely factored into the recognition.

Reportedly, establishing a rudimentary signing language helps in communication until the child has proper motor skills for speech. However, it’s important to not overly rely on signing to the detriment of language development.

Just FYI, if you just use Firefox in both OSes, you can sync the tabs, history, and extension settings. Though I’ve seen the opinion that Safari works faster, but OTOH extension developers are unhappy with Apple’s publishing/vetting process, and some devs dropped support for Safari that they provided previously.

I wonder if iOS and watchOS being macOS in miniature means that the terminal can be used on them natively, like on Android.
