Humans evolved finger nails to separate Lego pieces

...I can't think of a good reason for toe nails though

You just bounced so high it took a little time to fall back down

English is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though

As much as timezones are a pain (I'm a programmer who recently finished working on an international calendar for an app), I don't think getting rid of timezones is a great idea. https://qntm.org/abolish

I think a much better goal would be getting rid of daylight savings. THAT causes so much headache for little reason nowadays

Not xkcd in this case

I had a little kobold cleric named Muk who thought if he was a good enough person he would evolve Pokemon style into a dragonborn

The parents are getting a divorce, meaning the kid will celebrate Christmas twice, once with each parent

The actual wording is "Music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp."

So no, 99% AI is also not allowed

Gyoza/potstickers/dumplings

I will inhale plates of em and the time it takes to wrap em made me both appreciate the food more and appreciate the premade ones so much more

The right man in the wrong place can make all the diff-erence in the world

Even though I agree that external validation shouldn't be relied on, and your own opinion of yourself is the most important, that's still really hard to do when you don't like how you look.

A different comic that connected to me a little more was this one:

Where just because I don't like the way I look, doesn't mean I'm ugly. Someone else may like just as I am, so the important thing for me is to be healthy and happy with myself, even if I don't like how I look

... I'm realizing I'm mostly just rewording what you said, but I wanted to share the comic in case it helps someone else see another perspective :D

You should definitely check out this 20 page short comic: https://imgur.com/...

It's basically that, and Wolverine goes in because his regeneration keeps him alive

(Edit: From Marvel's Ultimate X-Men Vol. 1 #41)

It's the minimum effort that translates to minimum time that translates to minimum cost for the business. Why hire another developer for a mobile app (or another platform) when you could just have the same web dev write it. Or without hiring another dev, why have the same dev need to build up tooling in another language when you can just reuse from the existing platform

Dawarich has support for this. Be aware it is under very active development and has semi-frequent breaking changes though (No data loss, just manual steps to upgrade).

For example, here's my recent trip to Austin for the Counter-Strike Major:

And with regular routing:

It technically works offline because you can record your location and load it afterwards, but I use it by ingesting my location that is tracked by Home Assistant

Immich lets you do this

https://immich.app/docs/features/searching/

For example here's me searching for "forest". But it also supports looking for people (even multiple people in the same image), places, dates, or combinations of all of them. It'll also look for text in images. The link has more examples

All hosted and processed on my local computer, and connected to the mobile app

I love it

Here's the story of how anthropic spent $20,000 writing a C compiler that can't compile hello world on it's own:

I also really appreciate these, a bunch of cool projects I haven't heard of before this week
