Not if the ring curves inward at the edges, conforming to a section of a sphere.

Here's another fun fact: A ringworld exerts zero net gravitational force on anyone inside of it. It's one of the implications of shell theorem.

Jolyne Cujoh could unravel her vagina into string and turn it into a crochet strapon. Since she feels through her stand as if it were the same part of her own body, that means she can be vaginally stimulated by fucking something with her string penis.

When someone tells me they're only motivated by things getting better; by hope, what I learn is that they have not in their life needed to learn fear. Things have not gotten so bad that they have learned to fear being attacked. They are detached enough from consequences that they think nothing getting better is the worst that could possibly happen to them. It's a privilege I envy.

Yeah that's actually hedonism

It always embarrassed Samuel Vimes when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was “policeman.” If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers.

It's your choice whether you want to campaign for a candidate.

I don't want you to waste anyone's time with pointless infighting, and if you think I should only care about the value of my own time, I've got some books for you to read about how European-American individualism is wrong and people should care about others.

I thought claiming nobody has to take their jokes seriously was a conservative thing

 

I'm sick of Kwin. I like the way it looks, but its focus stealing protection is broken. I like to tab out and read ebooks while my games are on loading screens. Some games decide to take focus while they're in the middle of a loading screen. That's why I configured Kwin with high focus stealing protection, and extreme on those particular games. Sadly, it doesn't work. There's no raising protection, and the "keep below other windows" rule is completely nonfunctional. Also, some of the Kwin maintainers are assholes.

I want to try a new window manager. One with strong focus stealing and raising protection. And I'm on NVIDIA, so no Wayland for me yet. Any recommendations?

 
 
 

Spot on representation of the original myth and its meaning. Not cashing in on brand names. Just making good art that happens to contain a native american myth. This is what art looks like when it comes from respectful engagement with a culture on its own terms, while also creating something new.

This comic takes place in an original fantasy setting, so it's not literally a... that thing, but thematically this is definitely one of those.

Forget the grunts and moans. When a mudcrab attacks my character, I want to hear "god fucking dammit" and "fucking shitbiscuit" from my character. That's how people actually sound when they get hurt.

Stay safe out there, folks

 

A lot of people point out that it doesn't make any sense that Harry and Ron didn't like their schoolwork. Well I figured out why:

It's because the magic system is just as boring in-universe as out of universe. It doesn't make any sense in universe either. Harry and Ron realised Rowling's magic system kinda stinks way before we did, because they spent all day learning it.

If Sanderson had been writing Harry Potter, then Harry and Ron would have liked learning magic as much as Hermione did (Also, Sanderson actually DID write a book about a super-school, it's called Skyward, it's good)

 

Let's say I'm vegan and I need to take vitamin B12 supplements to be healthy. Furthermore, let's say I have ADHD, I forgot to take them for a month, I feel like shit, and while I know to take them now, there's no guarantee I'll remember tomorrow.

If I were to take 2 tablets today, an amount which I surely need, would my body actually absorb all the B12 it needs, or would I piss out the second tablet? Do I have to wait until tomorrow to absorb the nutrients my body needs now?
