weights connoisseur @alice_meows@awoo.space

ok, edited for egregious typos, nearly a year later, here we go:

sometimes a call myself a fag or faggot. sometimes as part of working through my relationship with straight society, sometimes just because it feels straightforwardly good to self-id that way. I feel weird CWing self-identifiers so this is my account-level warning on this.

the main problem with the bourne identity is that their foley artist clearly hasn't seen spy kids

I can't rly imagine how an act of surfing ends that doesn't involve falling over, and I feel like the fact that they always cut away before that happens in videos is evidence that this is a fundamental problem with the sport that nobody wants to acknowledge. There is no legitimate success criteria that involves falling over

What's the endgame of surfing? Like what are the success criteria

they should've made the power point installer cd rom dual session, and stored all the sound effects in the red book portion, as a little treat for if u put it in your cd player

i mean, they love going to a fancy gym to try out their house weights. but if they're just meeting up with the boys to lift some pounds, they can just go with the flow and use the machines

the handle feel probably has a lot of dimensions. the balance of the weight too. smell? how does it smell when gripped with sweaty hands. a weights connoisseur is moderately string, but abolutely NOT jacked as shit, that would be like a wine connoisseur getting wasted. they do a few reps of each weight, just enough to capture the essence while leaving room for the other weights. they have a collection of their favorite weights that they'll do occasionally a short set with to wind down for the evening, but when they go to the gym they lift the regular gym weights like everyone else

weights connoisseur goes to a weight lifting, to lift the a variety of high quality weights from around the world. judging things like weight, and... like the feel of the handle?

movie studios should be required to seed their movies for at least a month after posting them. like you're telling me u spent a hundred million dollars on this movie and you can't afford a fucking seedbox

and then of course 592 years later apple pretended they invented it and took all the credit in the public eye

it's wild that the IEEE even existed in the 14th century, let alone developed a standard for a high speed serial bus

I hate this fucking reality. The other day my microwave started acting weird, the little 7 segment LED display that shows the time started showing random combinations of segments that clearly aren't numbers. I looked it up, and it's a known issue. There's a teardown online of this model and of course the front panel board has one of those fucking Pilot chips in it. Someone couldn't be assed to write a couple hundred lines of C and instead spent, somewhere between $2-3 per unit to put a fucking LLM in it. Apparently it works fine for a couple months or so, and then starts going off the rails. Fortunately they used one of the volatile state SKUs, so you can just unplug the microwave for a minute and it'll go back to normal. But Palm2 is discontinuing everything but the flash models next year, so expect this type of thing to get a lot worse.

Or like remember the Panasonic Adaptect recalls? So, what's important to remember is that Panasonic were the ones who invented the adaptive smoke alarm. (side note: despite everything, it is pretty fucking wild that we can super precisely identify different types of smoke with like, 6 LEDs, that weird vibrating disc thing, and a bunch of math. As much as they fucked it up later it's pretty neat that this exists!) Everyone else was still making threshold style devices, so they had like a full year where they were the only ones on the market that wouldn't like, trigger a full alarm if you burned something in the oven or whatever. And then there was some vague AI drama and now you can't buy them anywhere.

But did you hear about what actually happened with the recall? Because, oh boy. Turns out, in 2029, after 3 years of a very successful product, they just fired all their R&D people, bought an off-the-shelf clone of their own sensor, and hooked it up to a SensorTPU with the out-of-the-box GPSense model and called it a day. Someone dumped the EEPROM and they literally just had like, a couple sentences describing the pin mappings, one of those weird prompt engineering sounding poems, that seemed to be vaguely about smoke, all full of typos and spelling errors. The initial recall was because the new models would go off if you, like, baked something with too much cinnamon in it, or if your cat sheds too much, weird stuff like that.

BUT THEN later it came out that if you had either 5, 6, or 9 of them networked, every now and then they would just spontaneously "fight for dominance", and whichever device "won" would just permanently stop working with no indication this had happened. (and yes those are the terms they used in the recall document, it's fucking bizarre).

i'll bet sharks aren't even that dangerous. there's probably some normal blub blub type of fish that's way more dangerous

sharks are fucking bullshit. imagine if your whole gimmick was just "a fish, but dangerous"

speedrunning idea: pi%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZSFRWJCUY4 try to beat DOOM (probably doom1.wad) as fast as you can with as low a value of pi as you can. lower pi value beats faster time, like in the A button challenge.

Ok wait we can go even further back. Cars is set in what Tolkien would call the Fifth Age, Sally is a short story showing a moment in time near the end of the forth age
