did my thing for mental merging come from reading the eragon books

apparently it's now illegal to give water ("food or drink", specifically) to people standing in line to vote in georgia, and holy fuck are the arguments people make in favor of this law obnoxious

the only one that makes any sense is the idea that people could be giving out free food to encourage people to vote for a particular candidate but that... kinda doesn't make sense? if you give someone a slice of pizza without anything on it or you about any particular candidate (because that's already, and probably rightly, illegal), how is that going to influence your vote one way or the other?

i see someone saying "of course they don't claim any political affiliation but come on, they're liberals" as if that has any bearing on things?? that sounds more like an attack on the conservatives than anything, with the implied "conservatives would never give out free things"

also seeing people trying to spin lower voter turnout (from people having to leave the line to get a drink) as a good thing??? something about encouraging only the most educated people to vote which 1) yikes elitism and 2) uhhh how does education have anything to do with getting thirsty

also that the inverted stone tower replaces the ocarina with a flute, a different woodwind... one that the skull kid plays
-F

just had it pointed out that the stone tower temple music uses four instruments in addition to its chanting: a woodwind, plucked strings, drums, and some kind of brass

i don't think it's a coincidence that link in this game plays ocarina, guitar, drums, and whatever brass thing deku pipes are

youtube why are you recommending me a stream of mormon officialy stuff

apparently 7up originally was a patent medicine thing and one of the few that actually had some kind of effect (it contained lithium carbonate, a mood stabilizer)

(i don't have any problem with it or anything to be clear--i mostly just wanted to use the phrase "tapioca blobules")
-F

where did the trend of putting gelatinous spheres in drinks come from anyway, do people actually say "why yes i would like my drink to contain some tapioca blobules. cassava globs. tuber orbs."

Maxwell's equations are nicer, plus you get four of them instead of just one

pretty simple, elegant solutions, but the requirement that ∇·B = 0 seems arbitrary and kinda ruins the nice symmetry they had going on. 4/5
-F

the Schrödinger equation is some real nonsense

too wiggly, hard to follow, mostly unsolvable. 1/5 one point because at least it looks simple
-F

ways to feel old: see a youtube video titled "what happened to the A: and B: drives in windows"

realizing that so many people have never used floppy disks to the point that they don't even know that A: and B: are reserved for floppy drives...
