sounds like a realistic hypothesis; in VERY controlled amounts, the delirium that results from consuming tropane alkaloids could definitely be a lot like a single-minded state that one might associate with berserkergang. the only problem I

ah thank you for the breath of fresh air. so many people are quick to represent the unexplained as supernatural, but the fact of be matter is that everything that is contained within "nature" can be explained by natural causes. ju

oh i was always wondering where Elvis' name came from in that game. thanks for sharing a potential bit of provenance

i think the whole bit implying that one has to be mentally ill or on drugs to see such a thing is kind of made in bad faith. for what it's worth, i certainly suffer from mental illness and i have been "out of this dimension"

my only question is, how likely is it that anyone is going to actually be witness to a dogfight at any given time? seems like something that would be pretty rare.

wow i violated this patent years ago when I made a microsocial network that used an email gateway to interact with users via sms. guess I should have patented it first ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

in the words of idubbbz (cf. https://youtu.be/9WJs3S1D350 around 1:50 or so), "have you people TASTED cardboard?", or more accurately,"if it's flavorless, then say it's flavorless!" i personall

i bet it would be theoretically feasible to take each individual page of a book and perform some chemical process on them such that you join the bottom of a given page with the top of the next one on chemical level, in which case, a book ce

this is an absolute gem to experience. my question: do you shard it off to different servers or some such thing? i only ask because trying to connect on both my mobile and my laptop, i can't seem to ever end up in the same apparent roo

i would argue that on a long enough timescale, anything will 100% kill you. not trying to be cheeky, more just trying to say that that sort of argument only really works for people who are active antismokers; most smokers (i think, from per

oh man after actually looking at the website again, I realized that I had the two confused for some reason and posted the wrong one. at least someone came through and gave the proper one.

not exactly software engineering, but back when I worked at HostGator as a tech support rep, there was a tongue-in-cheek thing that went around that the best agent was the one who could use Google most effectively. I think that that general

it's always nice to see someone bring up Everything. it's almost terrifying how fast it can find basically anything.

I'm certainly surprised I don't see a mention of http://www.coboloncogs.org/INDEX.HTM anywhere.

ah yes, a great old cultural phenomenon. for those who haven't seen it, Whang! did an episode on this for his Tales from the Internet series that I highly recommend: https://youtu.be/rj9acDtMooA

I'm not entirely sure this is true wrt the gender thing, one could easily substitute grandpa and it would still make the same sense. As far as being discriminatory against age, I really can't see how you came to that point. Perhap

I'm not a senior engineer by any means, despite all the time I've devoted to learning about CS and development in general; my main problem is that I just don't code anymore. That being said, I always have found that it is bet
