Asimov was a sexist pig, so if you vibe with that, his writing is enjoyable. Otherwise, reading his works is a chore. Often prescient, but still a chore.

Revolting.

Thanks!

Book title and author? I’m always looking for interesting new reads and a similar lore existed in a comedy isekai anime some years ago.

What’s to stop any malicious merchant from pruning unfavorable reviews? I trust moderated gossip channels with no financial stake in review sentiment over curated marketing advertisements masquerading as “customer reviews”.

I expected circular arrows pointing back towards themselves for many on the diagram.

Just render the page, page renderer.

A winning lotto ticket costs the same as a losing lotto ticket, which is about 2 USD. So, I’ll buy a winning lotto ticket for every lotto I can remotely cash in via phone call. The rest can go into hiring a lawyer to provide me legal protection from lawsuits caused by my sudden inexplicable luck.

But I just can’t stop.

Is that unusual?

This is like a SimCity news ticker item.

The ability to force any two conscious beings to feel empathy. Like in the 2015 novel ::: spoiler Title Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky :::.

If it weren’t Docker-dependant, I’d imagine this would be a good FreedomBox app.

Pay no attention to the ex-Intel CEO behind the curtain.

Hamas is crazy as Crazy Horse was “crazy”. You know what both have/had in common? They are/were fighting displacement of their friends and family due to colonizing powers. The only difference is the latter’s people suffered almost complete annihilation while the former is a work on progress. If the British didn’t insist on making Palestine their reservation for Jews, then Palestinian freedom fighters wouldn’t have had to fight Zionists violently encroaching upon their native land.

“I’d like to raise a family. Let’s see what a 4-bedroom condo costs in the city with decent schools and transit. 2 000 000 USD? Hah. No kids it is, then.”

I really enjoyed Chokepoint Capitalism (2022), the book he co-authored (read: had someone else back up his frequently repeated anecdotes with reputable citations in a proper Bibliography) with Rebecca Giblin. 90% of the interview can be found in that book already with 10% being new slogans and anecdotes that can’t be found in that book.

That’s when you start spamming Page Up/Down, Home, End, and / to search within less. Usually seeing various commands jogs my memory, especially when they are grep commands searching for one I use often enough to be useful but infrequently enough to not remember off the top of my head.

$ history | grep 'gre[p]' | less -S
