  • Do you take adderall? lol this post reminded me of when I’d ask my GP why I was getting headaches so often and he confirmed that lack of sleep, dehydration, food deprivation, and well, studying all the time, was bound to cause some negative symptoms.

    Even if you don’t take adderall, take a breather, step back and relax, although it may feel like we’re complex unbeatable machines, sleep is more important than you may think.

    I personally went through this thought as well but what you may be failing to consider is how often you may neglect your sleep, for how long do you do this, and more importantly, the pain tolerance of others. Some people simply do not communicate their uncomfortable feelings or have a duller sense of them. It does not make you lesser or more than those others but take a moment to appreciate yourself and all the work that you do. You are doing just as much at your own pace.



  • Check this out. Forum talks about Toyota making you jump through hoops to disable it officially, or you can pull a fuse and lose access to hands free and other radio tools.

    The move for Toyota seems to be to pull the fuse and install an aftermarket radio, in Ford’s case removal of the actual telemetrics box if the manufacturer has one installed in the select model is sufficient and does not disable anything important. I can’t fathom what Mercedes, BMW, and GM does as they are notorious for making things hard to access.

    Edit: I recall GM had made intellisense or whatever the fuck it’s proprietary software is called open source since the car reminded me on every start up. I don’t recall ever seeing anything interesting made for it.

    Edit2: Intellilink





  • This is right on topic!!! I love you for knowing these things :)

    I think we read Cicero’s De Republica and I remember Louden speaking about the music of the spheres. It tore me up to think that thousands of years ago (despite being geocentric and not knowing about the vacuum of space) someone might’ve had the insight to know about the sounds of the early universe.

    Here is black hole making funny noises, not the ethereal sounds we were promised but nonetheless sound ooOoOo

    And I do remember Louden saying exactly that! That the narrator gave a sense of somber importance where the audience is expected to listen with great concern as we’re about to listen a great tale of a great man and what he did to anger the gods so.

    We drew many comparisons but I think I remember one being that the story opens like that in the Odyssey I think? Or maybe one of Eurepedes or Sophocles plays where they use muses and a chorus kind of as an “audience” of sorts to demonstrate the seriousness and invested interest of the public.

    I’m obviously not as well versed (pun intended) as you are but it was great to talk about this once again. I might give De Bello Gallico a read since it’s just a report, nothing with too much allegory, being I can’t ask my long deceased professor questions.

    Any preferred translations? All I have is Latimore translations for the texts I’ve mentioned hahahaha





  • Use a third party launcher like ATLauncher to be able to see the logs of what is going on. To me it sounds like there is too much going on. My game does a similar thing when I regenerate more than 5 chunks with worldedit. It seems like the game is playing normally but it is quietly getting slower and slower until it crashes and disappears all of you progress.

    Try adjusting your allocated RAM to 8+ GB and get a 3rd part launcher so you can see what it is that bugs the game out.

    I’m not sure what game compatibility with Linux is but… I just rather download a game and play it instead of fucking around with CLI commands to get WINE or whatever garbage has to be run in order to play video games. But that’s just me. I know better than to ignore someone’s entire question just to suggest what I want.


  • It’s like that one neighborhood kid who would get reeeeeaaaally shitty if you tried to help with anything. They get super annoyed if you don’t sit there and watch them build the fort. In hindsight my friend is just autistic and asocial. Suuuuure, he’s an ass, but in the end what they really want is an impressive fort. Don’t give up pops, I say you finish up your project and push once finished, and tbh it doesn’t have to be to the same repo, I honestly suggest having your own! I promise you that your code will help some eurodude relive some nostalgic moments.



  • Beautifully put. It’s all about it being an astounding play (story/poem) that was meant to be seen by aristocratic wealth and written almost as an afterthought, giving us all these different interpretations. And there’s the instruction sets that are also added in, which in my opinion is what made religion the ugly thing it is today, controlling. Thankfully humanity kept storytelling, book and playwriting well and alive thousands of years into the future.


  • It’s a fantasy story as old as written history, it’s just fun to know why people idealize it, where it came from, and what it really means.

    They were mostly old Greek instructions on how to farm and not die and shit. Wash yourself at daylight. Don’t eat shrimp or pork cause it’ll kill you. Don’t be wasteful with your harvest, you’ll need food in the winter.

    Add thousands of years into people blindly following these unhh… recommendations, and you get crazed fucks crying on their knees begging you not to be gay/abort/etc.



  • Took a humanities class on the development of religion. As another poster commented, the Bible is a collection of books and stories that can be found even on other religions and older texts. Given that this a collection of works dating back over thousands of years, my recollection is more of generalization that can point to what to look for rather than provide extreme specifics.

    Take the Odyssey, it can be compared to books in the Bible such as David and Goliath, the flood, etc. There is others such as the epic of Gilgamesh demonstrating the use of gods giving humans epic powers and fighting one eyed evil giants. The use of daemons converted into demons in the Bible. For example, It is said a daemon is someone of 2 genders in one body, similar to a hermaphrodie however one part was holy (iirc), and would serve to be a useful companion rather than an evil force against you.

    Now imagine you got all these motherfucking books everyone else made.

    I’ll title my small book: Ye Old Plagiarism

    One, the Greeks fucking hated writing in anything other than pentameter or stuff like that. Naturally poems and the like must have their lines numbered.

    Two, the Roman’s also hated writing normally, expect lines and wacky rhyming schemes.

    Three, the Bible is written and it ended up looking like this.
