  1. @schamspeare You are back on the full righteous fervour of your narcissism of small differences.

    #ChrisHedges:has a good summary: MAGA offers the fascism of the oligarchs and the christofascists, while Dens offer corporate fascism.

    The USA is an empire built on genocidal conquest and murderous racism. That imperialism has changed shape many times, but it has never waned. Your treatment of Trump as a unique monster is based on a fantasy version of history in which there was a virtuous USA.

    I once was at a Canadian automotive winter test facility, where manufacturers test their cars in extreme conditions, and they also teach winter driving.

    20 police officers were told to drive a course on the ice lake and not to hit the traffic cones. 20 officers took the course on the ice.

    Every officer took out most cones on the sheer ice. Every. Most.

    They were then told, "Don't look at the cones"

    Second round, no cones were hit.

    No cones.

    Jesus wept.

  8. Very useful browser extension for #Chess nerds: chessvision.ai/

    Scans any page for chess positions, bringing up a board and engine analysis tool, or letting you quickly import the position into lichess or chess.com.

  9. I know you’ll say it requires zero culinary wherewithal, but I nonetheless want to proclaim that I have mastered the egg salad.

  10. It's taken a long time but I think I've finally got under my fingers and set-up in a way that satisfies me, and now I rather like it.

    If I told you how I was working for the last couple of years, you would think I was a complete caveman. Let's just say it relied on OcenAudio, a two-track editor, almost entirely, and that in the whole process, you're only dealing with one soundfile at a time. I'm actually going to miss that way of working. It's like working with tape.

  11. Chess.com has a half-off sale on subscriptions right now. Despite their advertising that their Diamond tier is the "most popular," I would advise anyone interested that there is very little that separates that tier from the Platinum tier below it other than about 30% extra cost. Specifically, some metrics for your online play and AI-generated (I guess) text analysis of what the engine is already telling you.

  12. Have a notion to dust off my old Xbox, order a replacement power brick, jump through whatever update hoops are necessary, see if I can get a controller working, free up some space, download that old neon Far Cry standalone mini-game thing, and give it a playthrough on easy.
