Maybe NASA should buy it so they can stop wasting money on profits for Boeing

That’s a pretty cool cat

Real question, are there any instances of someone’s research being so niche that the only option is to cite themselves?

It’s ok for symbols to have different meanings in different contexts. If someone is new to the context, they should research or ask about it. People that are familiar should provide the mutual understanding, provided they have the will and ability to educate.

To be fair, the factory management knew that it was dangerous but didn’t tell the workers and encouraged them to lick the brush.

I thought the new big thing in astronomy is watching the anniversary of a black hole eating a star 3 billion years ago

I wish I could be as high as motorboat

I highly recommend the online book How to Think Like a Computer Scientist.

Fun fact, the person maintaining this book is professor emeritus from my college and received multiple awards of recognition from the IEEE

I know some of the union leaders at UPW, including one of the Paizo writers that may have worked on the starter adventure (I don’t know for certain). They’re incredibly passionate about their work, and honestly would understand your frustrations about capitalism. They likely pushed to make as much as possible free, so folks in your position would still be able to share the joy of their work even if they can’t afford the starter adventure.

I know none of this will make your frustration go away, but I hope you know that they didn’t do it out of malice.

I don’t know if this was true when they posted it, but conservation efforts are working! They’re considered near threatened for their small habitat and endangered to give it protected status

And what was the outcome of this IP theft? A video mocking a multi billion dollar corporation? They took down the specific product called out, but they still make extremely similar dslr bags to peak Design and they’re definitely still copying other companies designs. This is my point. IP laws only benefit the billionaire class and fuck over everyone else.

You’re saying that like it isn’t already rampant. IP laws are a textbook example of classist disenfranchisement. It’s a rule for which the capitalists are protected and not bound by, but which workers are bound by and do not receive those protections.

I work for a game company, the only reason I would tell you not to use a pirated version is because it probably isn’t cracked properly and will throw client-server errors. You’ll want to crack it in a way that will still receive the playlist updates

Oh yea, there’s a song written by a union man named Joe Hill from around this period called the Popular Wobbly. The second verse goes

Oh the cop, he went wild over me, and he held his gun where everyone could see

He was breathing breathing rather hard, when he saw my union card

He went wild, simply wild over me

Maximum inconvenience factor, because cats know that we’re not allowed to move them during naps

My DM in college asked us if we were ok with a tpk so she could start a campaign she’d done world building on for over a year. Of course we agreed, and she learned that it’s just as fun to die as survive while playing

I mean I agree with you, but in my small Midwestern town, it’s cheaper and easier house maintenance to have a mud room instead of constantly cleaning the floor in front of the door. I think houses in the cities will see them disappear, but not in places where the towns are ~300 to 50k people. It might become hard to find in small houses in the Midwest, but it will still be there in most mid sized houses

So I started this comment as a reply, but I felt like people would also like to hear about this as someone who cares about mud rooms when pretending I can afford to buy a house window shopping.

I grew up in a rural/small town area where mud rooms are still highly valued to this day. Small houses will also occasionally have mud rooms, even if it’s just a weird little hallway. In this area, the mud room usually has built in shelving and enough space to put a shoe rack plus sometimes the washer/dryer. Most commonly, it’s about the same sqft of a full bathroom if the washer and dryer aren’t in there; only a little bigger if they are.

I usually see them with hard wood, tile or linoleum floors to make them easy to clean, and a cheap, rough rug from Menards gets thrown on top to wipe and leave shoes.

Another, and probably more common, thing is a covered and insulated all-season porch. Usually it has screened, cheap windows and spans most of the length of the side it’s on. This has less insulating power than a mud room, but with the trade off being a socializing space while semi outdoors and bug free. In the 150 yo house I grew up in, it even had a bathroom because it was a farmhouse. This house didn’t have any screens, it was honestly more like a mud room than a porch; however there’s also a local terminology thing about size being important in the distinction between mud rooms and porches.
