I dedicated my dissertation to my dog. Fuck off Second Supervisor Kilimo

The [current year] of our lord and people are still doing this

If this passes, I will start an age verification project called this_bullshit.

Actually my back hurts because your mother damaged it with her large mass when we were engaged in coitus.

They say the trick to public speaking is to picture the audience naked, but I actually prefer to do my interviews in a sauna so the audience pictures me naked.

Never played 2 but 1 is the most over hyped game in existence. The gameplay is mid as fuck and the “OMG story” is just B movie horror at best.

Watch an actual movie with real writers and actors instead of “playing” an interactive movie with shit writing and bad CGI that is only praised by internet philistines because they need their hobby to have cultural relevance very badly?

Isn’t the proton CEO a trump bootlicker?

Is reddit not aut blocking piefed and Lemmy links anymore?

Even a switch mode power supply doesn’t really flicker since they have a rectification and smoothing stage on the output to produce a DC voltage. The switching is done on the input to set the duty cycle which controls the voltage/current ratio at the output.

For incandescent bulbs the power drop around the zero voltage cross doesn’t last long enough to extinguish the filament, since it’s basically just glowing from being heated. The only lights which actually do “flicker” under nominal conditions are old ballast driven florescent lights. Most modern LEDs rectify the AC and modern CFLs boost the line frequency to like 20kHz to prevent the arc from getting extinguished.

No thank you

I am too old and have too little time not to save scum.

Oof ow

At my peak, I easily posted a million words a year to Reddit. The idea that I wasn’t putting that effort into actual productive writing is definitely an idea I’ve had many, many times.

Honestly the standard curriculum was fine. It was when you got into trying to apply those skills to deciphering academic literature in a meaningful way as part of a broader career that things got tricky.

Or rather, just another reason to never play online multiplayer games. The past 20 years or so has been the worst era of gaming, with games-as-interactive-art being replaced by cynical live service cash grabs, games calling home, racist teenagers, obligatory always on voice chat, and now this whole cheat-anti-cheat bullshit.

No. We are a proper engineering company.
