It’s probably temporary, this has happened before. But it does seem like most major AA sites are down.

This is a useful tool to track the main instances: https://open-slum.org/

What field were you in? Journal fees should either have been paid by your advisor’s funding or they should be the one paying.

that’s no spicy meatballs.

I’ve actually heard this in a more egregious form. I once heard someone claim that sarcasm is an anglosphere phenomenon and someone that isn’t a native English speaker would never be able to understand sarcasm.

Well, going after low hanging fruit, people that think shoplifting is a major expense for most retail stores that would cause locations to shut down. Obviously self checkout and how it makes abuses and shoplifting easier shows that that is a much smaller cost than just the labor of paying a cashier. It is always advantageous for PR reasons to blame crime and shoplifting rather than a lack of profitability or demand for shutting down locations.

But on a more serious note, it is a lack of curiosity or unwillingness to challenge really simplified narratives about common facets of daily living. A more original answer might be the lack of ability to pick up on jokes or sarcasm. I was always shocked about some people’s inability to pick up on sarcasm, even when the statements would make no sense or be obviously wrong, if they were done sincerely. There is an awareness of context and meta-awareness that is what I usually identify with intelligence, as opposed to expertise in a specific domain.

uhh, that was colonialism and not capitalism. /s

Are you telling me that all the Plutonium-235 that I need could be found in the Walmart grocery section?

I am still getting updates nearly every day, so it must be maintained.

I did somewhat feel betrayed or disappointed after my thermodynamics professor made this joke, thinking it was funny, and then finding out how ubiquitous it is.

I would say the most leftest right, just because of noting what the adjective and noun are.

Hague Invasion Act, lets go!

I still use X because at least last time I tried (admittedly over a year ago) some of my apps didn’t work right on Wayland (KLayout, if I remember correctly).

The Great Man just decided it should collapse.

Currently, I use Arch BTW.

In recent developments, 10% of the US GDP is now allocated to producing Astronomy and Astrophysics plots. More news at 9.

fun fact that I probably shared before, but my university had a physics class called estimations of scale, where you did order of magnitude estimations, usually of things really large like galaxies or small like particles, and then put them into a scale that is intuitive and made sense to you to imagine. One person I worked with did the length of his dick for the length scale (though he used something else for homework he had to turn in, probably football fields). The milky way is ~1.7*10^17 dicks across apparently.

Chives ar are tasty, good problem to have.

Wont someone please rid me of this turbulent CEO.

I stumbled upon Russian Cybernetics in some google search related to the academic discipline of cybernetics. I like it as background music because it is mostly a very mellow electronic music. And I don’t speak Russian, so most of the lyrics aren’t distracting and mentally filtered out. Though some songs have english lyrics.
