This… sounds kinda awesome.

At last, something achievable.

But I was hoping to be done with all that…

His book is THE best book on statistics I’ve ever read. Thoroughly recommended.

Christopher Walker confirmed to be playing the Emperor, while Sting will have a surprise cameo role playing himself.

The new Dune film.

Interesting! I’m on Jerboa now, but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

What I enjoyed doing on The Other Place was going to a random community and seeing its top posts, its hot posts. It gave a sense of how vibrant or interesting it was.

This made my day.

Ooh! Does this include, when you want to join a road but can’t get out because nobody gives you way, the ability to telekinetically push the button on a nearby pedestrian crossing?

Margaret Atwood with a flamethrower is, by far, the best thing I have ever seen.

I’ve just got to 11kyu. If you’re on online-go long enough, it turns out you can advance pretty far just by opponents timing out on games.

Reading these comments, there sure aren’t a lot of R programmers out there.

RStudio for R, Spyder for Python, Emacs for either of the above when I want to be cool.

As someone who’s spent a lot of time working in a lab, the ability to control static electricity would be a godsend! There’s really nothing like spending weeks preparing a new material as a fine powder, carrying it over to the weighing scales, placing a glass sample vial onto the scales, taring it, then a scooping up some of your powder with a spatula, careful not to lose a single particle, then carefully, CAREFULLY carrying the scoop of power to the sample vial – then seeing the static blast your powder out of the spatula to coat the OUTSIDE of the sample vial, plus the scales, plus your nitrile glove…

I have trauma.

Check out Ted Chiang as well – his two short story collections (Story of Your Life and Others; Exhalation) are some of the best I’ve ever read. He wrote the story upon which the film Arrival was based. Lots of things about time, consciousness, free will, humanity, all beautifully done.

This was a fascinating watch! Thanks for sharing.

Alternative weight loss techniques include making the planet spin faster or else hollowing it out entirely, neither of which would have any negative repurcussions as far as I can see.
