Today I learned that aggressive baby goats have to wear horn noodles to avoid hurting each other

Started running D&D Curse of Strahd recently. One of the players used popular culture for inspiration and then created a custom miniature to match.

Interesting project:

It looks pretty small-scale at this point, but they have some videos that get into sort-of the nuts and bolts of how, for instance, you can correctly input mathematical formulas (e.g., for homework or research papers) more efficiently without vision to help you. It's slow work, but it's the kind of thing that genuinely enables education and growth.

I dont know what your point is dude.

You seem to be obsessed with ensuring compliance to the narrative or something.

Normal people were horrified all summer as leftists applauded much MUCH worse than what you're fixated on. Awful stuff. People literally being murdered for no reason, small businesses ruined, and us normal people wanted it to stop, but the media and leftists cheered it, facilitated it, and allowed it.

So Americans learned. And Americans are becoming violent. This is what we didnt want. This is what the media cheered.

Well now you got it. So go pound sand.

# How butterflies fly

> Until now, the common perception has been that butterfly wings are aerodynamically inefficient, however, the researchers suggest that the opposite is actually true.

> ... researchers studied the wingbeats of freely flying butterflies during take-off in a wind tunnel.

> _During the upward stroke, the wings cup, creating an air-filled pocket between them. When the wings then collide, the air is forced out, resulting in a backward jet that propels the butterflies forward. The downward wingbeat has another function: the butterflies stay in the air and do not fall to the ground._

I just stocked up on a TON of ammo for my AR-15.. lets hope I never have to use it in self defense but after Biden took over as president and the series of events I am seeing unfold it worries me just enough to be prepared just in case. I still think it is unlikely to devolve to that point, but the Biden arrests and the misinformation in the media feels a bit too scary for me to at least not prepare.

If things do get bad enough that a nazi-like environment fully develops it will be far too late to get ammo by the time that is evident. So seems prudent to stock up now just in case.

Im basically just buying boxes of NATO 5.56 in various type. Hell if things calm down and get better at least ill have plenty of ammo for the range.

This is the first time I ever felt any real need to stock up on ammo in case of emergency, thats sad. But with the first segregationist is living history as president who already promised a healthy dose of fascism before even winning the election it is dangerous times out there.

In case anyone wants to check it out, this is my dev computer. I work on massively parallel algorithms a lot of the time so I need some really heavy duty GPUs for GPGPU (those are 4 watercooled Radeon Vega Frontier Edition GPUs) and a 32 core Ryzen 3.7 Ghz threadRipper CPU, and 64 gigs of the fastest ram around. this baby is a **beast**

inb4 why the Radeon GPUs and not NVIDIA or an Intel chip... simple, they are better for many/most applications but not all. The CPU and motherboard supports the full number of channels to maximize throughput into and out of the GPUs. So while they have fewer cores compared to a Tesla the cores dont tend to be the bottleneck, the I/O is, so i sacrificed cores to max out the I/O channels where the bottleneck tends to be. AMD and Ryzen ThreadRipper CPU were the only ones doing that.

A project I did a while back for shits and giggles was a neural network that learned off random photos what natural coloring looked lik for various objects and faces. Then you could feed it random black and white photos and it would try to color them. Only spent a few days on it for fun, and as you can see the results were not perfect (had some artifacts). but the results were surprisingly good if you ignore the blemishes.

FUCK! The eyedrops I ordered just came in and I go to look at the ingredients and I see "Belladonna 6X" and im just like.. well that is a weird ingredient for eye drops, that shit is extremely toxic...then i realize, FUCK this is some homeopathic sca medicine... Cant believe I gave these snake oil salesman money for this shit.. I literally bought the most expensive bottle of water (0.5 fluid ounces) ever sold! I really need to check labels more BEFORE I order online.

They need to require all homeopathic products to have a big sticker on it that says "this shit is a sca"

I'm pretty sure this is an actual picture of me right before one of my ex girlfriends broke up with me.

A shout out to the two animals I rescued the last few years angel (the pupper) and mouse (the kittums). Both passed but they were loved at the end!
