hyper-personalize what stock can go into DR or off bleeding edge based on known EOL dates and maintenance cycles from OEMs?.

I can fix her

I’m not saying I don’t enjoy it, its just more that it makes me laugh at how silly a song it is.

Down In It

the bisexuals aren’t fighting, we’re watching

As we run the run of the route in rehearsal, I run the company’s schedule so the show runs on time, the engine runs and the lights run off backup power while the road runs north along a river that runs high and the dye might run in the rain, and as the contract runs a year and a rumor runs through town, I run for office to keep the operation running smoothly, avoid a run on supplies, keep late cues from running over, prevent us from running out of time or letting costs run up, run through notes and run them by the team, run tests and run the numbers, run lines until they run together, run a tight ship so nothing runs afoul of the rules, run risks we can afford, run hot when we must, and keep the whole run unbroken.

I wouldn’t call 600BC prehistoric.

ehhhh the rap one?

the curve is ordinal, meaning that most people (68% of people) will score 85-115, give or take 15 - meaning if you take the test 3 times and get 100, 93.and 107… you can consider them all roughly the same score.

That’s because most people wouldn’t struggle with:

[xooo] [oxoo] [ooxo] what comes next?

[oxox] [xoxo] [ooox] [xxxo]

yeah I love this album a lot.

there was a meme recently of “what’s my niche on onlyfans?” it was mostly clickbait for people in skimpy clothing to plug their sites

They are just geuinely transgressive. “Kick A Baby Down the Stairs” “Vagina In the Sky” “If You Want to Win Do Heroin”

Fantastic gig when I saw them live, insanely playing Banging in the Nails on a children’s drum kit with hammers.

not that i really care but in his defense he asked what sexual relations meant, they gave a definition and what he did with Lewinsky didn’t match that definition…

it’s not that it’s not “math” it’s that the process by which we derive and conceptualize math may be alien to other consciousnesses.

we already have similar things like 0.999… = 1, or algebra, or base 10 v base 16 v base 2… is it so hard to conceive a race with different perception organs, a different “brain” that doesn’t look or function like ours, maybe non-carbon-based would operate in a way that is entirely alien?

Consider how from 400 BC to 1800 AD disease was spread by “miasma” and 20,000 years ago it wasn’t spread by “anything” because we didn’t have a framework or concept of the idea of disease transmission. Consider how before we went to space we thought there was “aether” outside the atmosphere, and before that it was “quinessetence” and before that it was a God or a celestial beetle or whatever…

Are we so bold as to claim that our grasp on what numbers are and their relation to the universe won’t change as much in another 2,000 years, or 20,000?

I guess I’m just saying we don’t know that for sure. We don’t even really know if lobsters or mushrooms or trees “experience” time. We know shrimps probably experience colors we can’t conceive of, it’s not that far removes from reality.

we did it without what loosely translates as blarglsnargling and they are equally confused as to how we did it. The downside to our approach being pollution of our air, the downside to their approach being pollution of their planet’s crust. Both of which would be catastrophic if occurred in each other’s ecosystem but is a mild irritant heading towards and eventual catastrophe for each respective society.

I mean this is all a hypothetical, so let me throw some blockers at you:

They don’t distinguish between wave and not-wave, assuming they dont have a Lacanian concept of language and their pre-language concept of what we would call a wave is actually the average distance from the bottom of the ocean in an arbitrary field of qualia whereby they average out “extended” phenomena from an “unextended” experience of the average of the different forms of background radiation.

In which case they couldn’t count a planet rotation and have no concept of counting or rotation but would express it instead as an average speed and direction in relation to the absorbed radiation of different astral and planetary (by which I mean “terrestrial” for lack of a better word when not talking about our planet) bodies? So what is a year to us is a limitless expression of the average rate of change of the comparative rate of radiation from the nearest star and the largest vent in the bottom of their ocean? They express this by making parts of their carapace emit different strengths of radiation in different directions. Would we even know to call those emissions a language?

edit: to make it even harder, maybe there’s a way to experience a qualia of alpha radiation to them that for them is as different as the words “because” and “apple”, but to us is two identical blasts of alpha radiation because we don’t even know how to sense the differences that are there because to us they don’t even exist?
