It uses Wi-Fi and has sms fallback and works with iMessage

I would go back to android if they had iMessage. That’s really what’s keeping me on iPhone.

This is dumb as rocks

The most charitable interpretation is “well crocodiles didn’t change in the last 100 million years but birds did so that means maybe crocs are closer since birds evolved to get farther away”

That’s dumb because both birds and crocodiles have been changing the whole time. Just because crocs look more similar to their fossils, doesn’t mean they haven’t been evolving/drifting/etc.

Same thing any time someone talks about “sharks haven’t changed”. It’s dumb.

This is some dunning Kruger shit.

That got me too.

K selection be like that

What’s the deal with Asia

No they won’t. Many many parts are shared with accords, there are so many parts in junkyards it’s insane. The engines are still being made too.

A 1999 Honda crv can be made to run forever

I’m playing “sell my switch on Craigslist”

Literally my advisor. Like damn.

I did two post docs and they were great. I learned many valuable things, foremost among them that it was time to get the fuck out of academia.

Seriously I regret nothing, I had a great time.

I agree with the post. I don’t want game night to be a second job or a mental investment. I just want to show up and play something. And I don’t want to grind away figuring out how to play optimally, or wait for others to do so. I just want to dungeon crawl and hit things with my sword and do some light occasional RP.

Yes basically everywhere.

Also my fav OP :)

Rcpp is probably the best thing to ever exist.

I reject tidyverse though

Did you just stop reading there? I was saying those projects should have atomic architectures so that “rewrite small parts when needed” can happen

Boy do I ever disagree with this.

For big projects, with multiple people and man-years of work, sure. Don’t start from scratch. But in my humble opinion, those projects shouldn’t really exist. Instead they should be atomic, made up of small page-length units which individually can be scraped and rebuilt.

For small projects, rewriting is often superb. It allows us to reorganize a mess, apply new knowledge, add neat features and doodads, etc.

Yes and they should have fixed it all the way in my opinion, but that would have been bad for tourism.

The granite was looted thousands of years ago, so the pyramid is long overdue for some maintenance.

I know archaeologists debate this, since many say that the pyramids have been known as ruins since antiquity, but it’s kind of weird to say “well it’s been that way forever and people like it, so let’s leave it”.

We have a very good understanding of how they were originally, and they would still be amazing if fixed. Just doing one of the smaller pyramids is a great way to dip our toes into restoration.

Like if you had an old rusty classic car in your front yard, and you and your neighbors thought it was cool looking to have it there. But if it were restored, people could really see its beauty, and it would last longer. Both are valid things to do; I just happen to think that the restored car is better.

This is dumb, the tower of Pisa WAS straightened.

All humans are genetically similar. How come we all have different faces?

This is wrong. There are a lot more white Mexicans where I live than Germans, and I suspect that’s true for a lot of the US.
