I don't understand how there was ever any negotiation to be had between the Afghan government and the Taliban. The Taliban doesn't consider the government of #Afghanistan to be legitimate. You can't debate with someone about how you exist together when they don't believe you should exist in the first place. What did I misunderstand?

I know it was posted a year ago, but made be laugh.

I hadn't heard about Leavitt before, but this was a really great contribution.

Cool page. I didn't realize how recently text teletypes were (are?) still in use. VRS isn't something I even knew existed.

The floor routine in gymnastics is so weird. Like, there's this dancy element which is like "okay..." and then they do these gravity defying flips. Why not just do the tumbling?

#VLC #protip: have a series of videos with subtitles, but the default subtitle track played by VLC isn't the one you want? You can find how VLC has labeled the track under "Tools" > "Codec Information" from the main menu bar, but here it's called a stream. Then, you can set the track to use in Advanced Settings under "Input / Codecs". The option to use is "Subtitle Track ID" (not "Subtitle Track"): just input the number of your desired track from the "Codec Information" list.

(I don't know why VLC has inconsistent naming for these things. It's even named differently between the GUI labels and the mouse-over text.)

I'm not inclined to make value judgments on a whole subfamily, but mudskippers are a pretty stupid looking animal https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CAQuoH_fOWM

I downloaded it, but I don't think I ever got it to work. Won't work with a current version of #Blender since they dropped the game engine.

A procedural city model generation program for blender Sadly, this one seems to have been abandoned (no updates for years).
