That's what I meant, sorry. Japanese Jiu Jitsu isn't really full contact. You get ancillary knocks and bumps in BJJ (catching a knee in side mount, or screwing up a takedown and bonking yourself), and while they're not that b

I had a similar thing with jiu-jitsu in my 30s. It's fairly low-impact as combat sports go (which is great!), but I had been playing other sports (judo and wrestling) for the majority of my life and those have periodic non-concussive i

Thanks. Few comments about email - I likely will use hosting I already have.

Thanks! I think I can manage this with using email I've already set up, e.g. installing mutt and pointing to a different smtp server, so I'm not too worried about that, but it's good to know.

I don't find this helpful. There's the idea of "well, we can't continue doing what we're doing if we want the Earth to continue to be hospitable" even if these predictions are false. While individually we can

I feel like there's a middle ground here. I've mentioned in other threads that my team does (and had done previous to the pandemic bc we were distributed already) a daily teams call that's open all day. We drop in and out dep

fwiw, I've always found the PureData/MaxMSP family of languages really difficult to wrap my head around. SuperCollider is another alternative, but that's a whole other discussion, really.

Is there a good video or animation of what this looks like ? I've seen a bunch of text descriptions but I'm curious how this actually appears.

What I don't understand is what people who argue against climate change stand to gain. The argument for climate change is: "humans are polluting the planet and it's causing a change in the environment and will have a disastro

I thought the same, but my Rog Zephyrus doesn't have a webcam built in by default and it's available at big box stores.

What works for me is, in advance, saying that I will be doing X thing for 10 minutes, an hour, or whatever. Even when I'm waiting for something, I'll say: "I will leave in 5 minutes" and set an alarm, knowing and trustin

Conceptually, though, how would it work, and who becomes the arbiter of what's good and what's bad, and what can be shared and what cannot ? In no way shape or form am I defending the nasty stuff or saying that it should be allowe

There's the unfortunate reality where if you make one thing censorable, you make the entire thing censorable ; there's no notion of only letting the 'good stuff' through.

Isn't this more or less the idea behind Gentoo ? I know that when I initially started setting my system up, it was a bit of a mess trying to figure out what USE flags I needed/etc., but once it stabilized, it was great to know tha

"Poor people have kids all the time, a lot of times they are even smart!" is extraordinarily classist. It makes a joke that based on the assumption that the majority of the time poor people are stupid. Not a good look to say somet

by necrotic_comp 5y ago
Not for nothing, but what you're saying is both classist and doesn't take into account the reality of friendships and roots that can take hold in a place after you've settled in. Things may be expensive, and you may feel trap

Yes, messageboards, etc. should be considered read-only at best on work devices.

yep - I came in here to talk about "familiarity" as the bedrock of how we listen to tunes. In my estimation, music is a constant juggling act between familiarity and novelty, and bending too much on one side or the other trends to

"up or out" seems like such a strange concept - I understand the idea of trimming fat, but I've seen a firing of 5-10% annually, and it's demoralizing and terrifying as a worker. You're basically put in a position w

yep - I second this. There's definitely a lurking thought about what'd happen if you're sick they find something or what happens if your landlord decides he doesn't want to rent your apartment any more, and now you hav

Exactly. This lets configurations accrete over time and ultimately get to a place where you don't have to think about your changes and they "just work" for you. I think emacs is more likely to have breaking changes, but I hav

I think it's the other way around - bridge your slack/discord/whatever into matrix, and then bridge the matrix results into IRC channels. That way everything stays put in your IRC client and you don't have to have a webp

My hope is that bc it's an open protocol that it'll be simple to create local bridges to services and then hook those into an irc client. I agree with the parent that Discord and Slack are absolute messes and all I want is text on
