Yeah, my mom used to work for an organization called ARC, which pointedly hasn’t been an acronym since the early '90s.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.

I don’t think I’ve ever had it straight, but clamato is pretty good in a michelada.

Also rooks.

"A moon chooses…“

Biblically accurate kitty.

That doesn’t sound right

Can we call it a swap zone instead?

Just because you’ve met gods is no reason to go around believing in them. It only encourages 'em.

That math assumes a flat distribution of popping times, which I suspect is incorrect.

Listening to a bag of microwave popcorn, it starts off slow, gets more rapid, and then tapers off again, implying that kernels are more likely to pop near the average time, which makes it somewhat more likely for two kernels to pop simultaneously.

But yeah, whole bag at once is probably still basically zero. Unless you use one of these, of course.

Not sure if kobold or KDE…

“Talk to cats” is definitely a trick. I already talk to cats, the problem is understanding.

I thought edge cases were the whole point of NNN…

There’s a running joke in the field that AI is the set of things that computers cannot yet do well.

We used to think that you had to be intelligent to be a chess grandmaster. Now we know that you only have to be freakishly good at chess.

Now we’re having a similar realization about conversation.

Of the games pictured in the image, only Outer Wilds has a mechanic like that.

The Joy of Cooking, fuck yeah!

But we’re talking about that piece as the most powerful in the game, which happened in Europe, where it had been called a queen for hundreds of years.

The wazir only moved a single space horizontally or vertically.

The name change from wazir to queen started as early as the 10th century, but the current move set dates from the late 15th century.

I feel like this is one of those things that would differ between Resurrection and Reincarnate, but I’m not sure off the top of my head which would do what.

In an 1895 paper, Röntgen used “X” to label an unknown type of radiation. And the name stuck, despite his later objections. (Some languages do call them Röntgen rays.)
