@cozykaffe@snouts.online Now I'm wondering, why are black anodized screws so common anyway? Is it just aesthetics? I know black anodized heatsinks are used for their better emissivity, but that shouldn't matter for screws and nuts and such.

pitch: a tree
- grows pumpkins
- as they ripen in the fall, pressure built up in the branches is spontaneously released, and the pumpkins are hurled away at a 45° angle
- very effective seed dispersal
@cozykaffe@snouts.online I think the trick is that no single person ever has understood completely how computers work. Just like a woodworker doesn't need to know how a circular saw works, a programmer doesn't need to know how a compiler works. So the knowledge is spread out over millions of people, all experts in their respective comparatively small corners of computer science and engineering, and it's only by all of them working together that we get anything at all out of computers.
@Terrana@tootplanet.space The first way is in essence the entire reason civilization exists, as far as I know. People realized it's a lot easier to get someone to do things for you if they can relate to you. Of course, that means you're also likely to do things for them, and suddenly you have a favor-based economy and social structures start oozing out of it.
Good morning.
re: bee pic
@cozykaffe@snouts.online Huh, do you know what that thing mounted on their back is? I can't help but wonder.
re: bee time
@cozykaffe@snouts.online Ah, we saw one of these friends just the other day! They're such lovely fuzzy bees.
You're a lovely bunch of people on here. 💙
@cozykaffe@snouts.online I want this to be real.
@esp@sleeping.town These are really cute!
@Caudle I feel like Felthry and I might want to sponsor one of these, but where do we DM if we don't have a twitter account?

Jason Scott just dumped the ZIL source code for every infocom game on github. Clone it before Activision's lawyers wake up. And now we see how long it takes for the internet to produce a compiler for a language that's been dead for 30+ years from a cache of production grade source code for said language. We've had compiled z-machine files, but never the original ZIL. https://github.com/historicalsource
@Trinket Oh, you're adorable!
@dodec Base 12 is a pleasant base.

@cozykaffe@snouts.online We're no experts, but it looks like a bug bite to me.

@cozykaffe@snouts.online What happened to that, anyway? Did it just turn out to be pretty much junk?
@cozykaffe@snouts.online Good morning!
