It also makes for an easy conversation topic to complain about stuff...

Veganism isn't a hivemind. We're all individuals that came to similar conclusions. And we will have different opinions on the details.

Some folks will say consuming those that died naturally is a-ok. Others will argue that it incentivizes creating conditions under which animals die "naturally" to harvest them.
Personally, I'm part of the group that is probably the largest by a long shot, whose opinion is: Why are we even thinking about that?

The vast majority of vegans find corpses gross, much like anything you might derive from corpses.
It also seriously does not happen often, that animals drop dead in front of you. And there's nothing on an animal's body that you can't find a different alternative for. So, it really just is not a relevant question in our lives...

Ah, yeah, I did get it after looking at the comments, but thanks. 🙂

Oh man, I thought that was supposed to be Einstein, but then figured the joke is that it's his supposed son, Frank Einstein, which sounds a lot like "Frankenstein". I guess, the joke is a lot simpler than that...

I'm currently prototyping a macro to help reduce boilerplate, as part of a more general library. And I'm doing some wild shit, like defining the fields of a data type from the parameter list of a function.

But then, yeah, what I'm now stuck on is that my generated code references a data type under one name, but it's actually got a different name in the public API. All the wild shit was smooth sailing, but a technicality now fucks me over. 🫠

As a more lightweight solution for broken bookmarks, there's this extension for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarks-organizer/

Sure, but as it happens with multiplayer games, you typically have a friend group that plays a certain game. Getting all of them to switch to another game can definitely be a problem.

Eh, it's gonna depend on your taste in games. If competitive multiplayer games are your thing, then it is a problem. But sure, there's lots of people who have zero interest in competitive multiplayer.

Here's a collection of words I might use to describe their culture: Japanese, anime, quirky, open-minded, fun, goofball, Absturztaube.

I'm not sure about scientific evidence, but I do feel like I can increase my attention span by removing quick sources for endorphin, serotonin etc..
So, if I always have videos lined up to watch, for example, I condition myself that it should just take a few seconds and no effort before the hormones kick in.
If I instead subject myself to boredom, I start being more willing to put in effort, which can also come in the form of paying attention for longer.

Was recently watching a musician, who's much more proficient than me, creating a song in 7/4 time. And the whole time, he was like, oh man, this is so weird. Apparently, this was one of the first times that he worked in 7/4.
Meanwhile, you can be glad if my unskilled ass can sit still on one kind of meter for more than a few measures.

And like, he's always got a baseline rhythm and repeating melody elements, then breaks it up with all kinds of effects and key changes.
In my songs, I practically never write straight repetitions. There's pretty much always a different twist the second time around. Even my drum lines are generally intentionally arhythmic.

Yeah, just found that interesting, how even at a lower skill level, I can partially go for much more advanced concepts, and will do so just because I like them. There just is a big range of ways in which one can create familiar-yet-entirely-new music.

Eh, the responses are a bit more varied, ranging from "we have very low confidence, because it did not correctly predict several things" to "it's the best unifying theory we have, by quite a bit".

In my opinion, worth a read for folks interested in string theory...
