It's strange that the nintendo switch doesn't let you transfer screenshots to a computer in any easy manner.

I love the idea of a witch using mathematical optimization techniques to find the best placement of runes and glyphs in her spell circle, like how computer simulations of plasma flow gave rise to the 5-fold symmetry of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator

Goodnight, everyone. May you have a comfortable rest, and may your Monday be minimally Monday.

Reminder: please clearly tag any photographic NSFW content in a way that clearly shows that it's photographic.

What exactly made Bongo Bongo evil, anyway? Looking creepy and playing a giant drum?

If you think about it, steel is really just iron deluxe edition.

CW request, pol-adjacent 

As we go into election day in the US tomorrow, please remember to tag your politics-related posts. There are those of us for whom almost any mention of politics is enough to be a stressor.

We may be less active on here tomorrow, or we may be more active as we try to distract ourselves. Politics is happening tomorrow, and it's likely to be a stressful day for us. We've already sent in our ballot by mail, so we don't have anything to actually do, but there will probably be a lot of politics talk.

We've been having some trouble with our wifi lately. If anyone out there is knowledgeable about the details of ethernet networking, could you explain whether we need a router or a switch? We only use one of the two computers at a time, so dividing up the bandwidth won't be a problem. I think a switch would be sufficient, but I do want to make sure. Are there any terms to watch for in picking one?

What's with the rival in gen 2 games? You beat him and then he says "This is why I don't battle weaklings. There's no challenge to it." Is he pretending that he won?

Good morning, all. I hope the day finds you well.

I wonder if there's any pokemon that has never been owned by a trainer you can battle in any of the games, not counting legendaries?

Pokemon villains by generation:
Gen 1: The mafia

Gen 6: A group who wants to be fashionable and also end all life on the planet
Gen 7: A bunch of outcasts, failed by the system, who have to steal to get by
