I bounced off Season 2. Too much "weird for the sake of being weird". You could tell the first season had a plan, and the second was just winging it. Sadly an all too common occurrence for successful shows.

The Reiser footnote was on point. I couldn't resist clicking it to find out if it was the same Reiser I was thinking about.

I expected to see him in the list too, but after looking it up turns out he made his posts on web forums. I remember reading the compilations in the early days of the web and being fascinated by them.

I adore Dostoevsky, and he was eerily prescient about many things. Notes from the Underground predicted the failure of positivism and the industrial revolution to create a utopia due to the inherently irrational nature of man, ultimately le

There's something very funny about the lead for global AI enablement blogging about his layoff with AI slop.

Dexas are notoriously inaccurate. Your dexa scan is probably wrong, and you are fatter than you think. I've been lifting over a decade, so I have far more muscle mass than the average person, and I am 6'1", yet am still easil

I can attest to this. My best friend and I have known each other for almost 24 years, and we still talk/hang out regularly. We lived together for about a year in our early 20s and that did NOT go well. Luckily it didn't kill the f

I had some concerning digestive issues a few years ago at 36. Tried repeatedly to get a colonoscopy done, but was told I was too young. Fought with my doctor for almost a year to get a referral to a specialist (standard procedure in Canada)

I don't believe any hair on the human body truly grows continuously. Even head hair has a lifespan of ~7 years and whatever you can grow in that time is the max. I was a big metalhead in high school and grew my hair out. Indeed, after

And thank god for that, because the 4:3 remasters are quite good, and IMO the best way to watch the old episodes on big screens. They've just remastered enough to make them more crisp and less pixelated but not so much that they look l

Both of these tools already exist multiple times over. I get the value of creating them yourself as a learning experience - not so much the value of getting an LLM to create them for you.

Pretty certain this article was written with an LLM. I can't tell you how many LLM-critical articles I've seen that are themselves written by an LLM. It's some weird kind of incestuous irony that you'd think the author o

Yup, clocked it in seconds. There's something especially perverse about reading AI slop waxing poetic about AI slop.

I saw that NET indicator plenty when playing on 56k back in the day. Funny to see it written about as some curious historical artifact.

They used the exact same gaslighting tactic to push RTO.

There's a charming TV movie adaptation of this story.

I would also recommend checking that the cough syrup you pick does not contain large doses of sugar alcohols like sorbitol, which in high doses, function as a very effective laxative. Nothing like spending 4 hours on a toilet emptying your

I think it's becoming increasingly true for many people - as a Canadian, I've often seen such sentiments expressed ever since the tariffs and Trump's annexation threats. I've also seen a lot of support for a general econ

When you copy and paste whole sentences provided to you by the AI, you're not just getting help—you're compensating for fundamental writing failures.

I find it ironic that an article that rails against AI usage contains a sentence like this. >When you need $364 billion in hardware to run software that should work on existing machines, you're not scaling—you're compensating f
