Awwwwh man. Mull is my favourite mobile browser! Hope there will be a fork. I’d love to contribute.

Wait is support for Mull ceasing?

Thought this was the Actual Canibal Shia LaBeouf vid. He needs to be stopped!

Was talking to this gay woman at a bar and noticed that she would make contradictory claims like saying she was Palestinian and that she was African. She spoke with an SA accent and said she was from SA but subsequently contradicted herself. She was nice but a bit aloof when I asked her any questions about herself. I called her on these contradictions and said that what she was saying didn’t add up.

Turns out that she was Namibian and that her father was Palestinian. She identified as Palestinian. She said she was aloof about it because most people can’t point to Namibia on a map and that she was tired of her country being a point of prejudice in addition to her sexuality and skin colour so she just said she was from SA to avoid all that.

So a minor lie but one that thought me a lot about what it must be like for some people in everyday conversations.

I think the real question we should be asking is ‘What’s up with this cat?’ Is it just the lighting in the photo or is it some kind of illness?

The slaughter industrial complex.

It’ll be a cold day in hell before they pry my Addy from me!

That was a backdoor pilot?! I never knew that.

Yeah, I thought the same. I’ve use mail.com to make burner emails for accounts that don’t accept maildrop.cc (one off emails).

Wow, feeb is a great insult. Holding on to that one.

Is the implication here that if you don’t state it then you owe back tax on illegal gains when they catch you?

Not that it would justify it at all, but was he Australian? I like to imagine this bewildered a-hole getting increasingly pissed at what he perceives as a transgression of social boundaries by every Australian he meets on his holiday.

You think he ate em?

People speaking on their phone using a loudspeaker.

People who don’t understand basic elevator etiquette and attempt to walk in before people get off.

People who play Karaoke loud enough for anyone outside of their home to hear.

People who drive two motorbikes / bicycles beside each other and talk, thereby blocking traffic.

People who cut in line.

People who don’t clean up after their pets.

People who get angry at the animals and not the owners for the above.

People who display a total ignorance of the most basic facts regarding other countries.

Dysfunctionally incompetent and/or lazy staff (beyond what is acceptable for low income workers).

Bureaucrats who clearly prioritise covering their ass over performing the most basic functions of their job.

People who are rude/dismissive to others who are smaller/weaker/meeker than them.

Racist taxi drivers.

Asshole bus drivers.

People who don’t apologise when they are wrong and know it.

I can think of more but I’ll stop there.

This is fantastic. Thank you. I didn’t know EFF provided this service.

Yeah, I’ve found myself wasting quite a lot of time thinking of the ‘perfect regex’ for task X only to realise that I could have avoided doing so by simply taking a different approach.

What do you mean? We just outsource the waste management to private companies who assure us they will dispose of it in a safe and secure manner. (This is legitimately what America does with nuclear waste, with limited oversight – fuck you Regan – and it is fucking bananas).

This reminds me of a one of Zeno’s Paradoxes of Motion. The following is from the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy:

Suppose a very fast runner—such as mythical Atalanta—needs to run for the bus. Clearly before she reaches the bus stop she must run half-way, as Aristotle says. There’s no problem there; supposing a constant motion it will take her 1/2 the time to run half-way there and 1/2 the time to run the rest of the way. Now she must also run half-way to the half-way point—i.e., a 1/4 of the total distance—before she reaches the half-way point, but again she is left with a finite number of finite lengths to run, and plenty of time to do it. And before she reaches 1/4 of the way she must reach 1/2 of 1/4=1/8 of the way; and before that a 1/16; and so on. There is no problem at any finite point in this series, but what if the halving is carried out infinitely many times? The resulting series contains no first distance to run, for any possible first distance could be divided in half, and hence would not be first after all. However it does contain a final distance, namely 1/2 of the way; and a penultimate distance, 1/4 of the way; and a third to last distance, 1/8 of the way; and so on. Thus the series of distances that Atalanta is required to run is: …, then 1/16 of the way, then 1/8 of the way, then 1/4 of the way, and finally 1/2 of the way (for now we are not suggesting that she stops at the end of each segment and then starts running at the beginning of the next—we are thinking of her continuous run being composed of such parts). And now there is a problem, for this description of her run has her travelling an infinite number of finite distances, which, Zeno would have us conclude, must take an infinite time, which is to say it is never completed. And since the argument does not depend on the distance or who or what the mover is, it follows that no finite distance can ever be traveled, which is to say that all motion is impossible. (Note that the paradox could easily be generated in the other direction so that Atalanta must first run half way, then half the remaining way, then half of that and so on, so that she must run the following endless sequence of fractions of the total distance: 1/2, then 1/4, then 1/8, then ….)

Rewatched the Golden Years of the Simpsons recently and I think it’s crazy that season 2 isn’t included in that era. Season 2 Simpsons is fantastic.

I should really cron my Borg script rather than waiting for a sinking anxiety to set it and doing backups at random intetvals
