Steam baths are the best.
Get the steam directly out of a pressure cooker.

You will need a barrel, a rope and a pulley on a pole. Oh and something to make holes in a barrel with.

To compile:

• rope the barrel and lay the rest of the rope over the pulley
• drive the pole into the ground next to your desired source of water
• optionally, keep the barrel’s lid openable
• make holes in the barrel in a convenient position, such that the holes will face downwards when you eventually mast the barrel

To charge:

• Set the barrel in the water source and wait until the barrel is full of water (optionally open the lid at this point)
• If you optionally opened the lid before, then mandatorily close the lid, now
• Pull the rope from the other side of the pulley such that the barrel goes up
• Let the water pour from the barrel and have fun with the shower

That’s their tech literate filter, which helps them not waste time on people that would almost definitely catch-on to their scam before actually getting scammed.

And that’s why I don’t use smart pointers.

Well…
I actually did make a logical flow diagram describing all conditions for pointer deletion. They just don’t care to read it.

imagining fields (not forces,

Yeah that thing. Except that they were dubbed “magnetic lines of force”. Also, I remember it being separately explained that even though they were called that, they didn’t represent the direction of force (of course not, or you’d not need the right-hand-rule and left-hand-rule).

Looking at the iron shavings though, it seemed more like low potential energy regions/ stable regions.

Also it give a feeling of being analogous to fringe patterns.

For anyone whose magnet related memories are not filled with various line illustrations of the forces, that’s probably it.

And even though my head is full of those illustrations, I don’t seem to understand how the iron fillings and ferrofluids make the shapes they do instead of just sticking to the magnet. And I am too lazy to do the maths to make myself understand.

Out of sight, out of mind

As in, they had to stop because they fell into regulatory troubles?

Bonus points for having the “Read” timestamp 1 second before logoff.

My company had 2 types of people…

Everyone else: who used sometimes 3 or 4 spaces (yes, manually pressing the spacebar even though the IDE provided them);
Me: Commit 1 Added .clang-format
Commit 2 Ran git clang-format

The science guys will always do science.
Even if the patronages stop.
Even if other’s start killing them for it.
Even if the whole society calls them a heretic.
The quest for truth defines them.

Just don’t mistake them for science bros

Not really.

They are just getting rid of any and every liberty that any reasonable society would provide.

Not the rights though. We never had such rights. We just didn’t realise those were needed to be written down because others didn’t violate those expectations.

Even in an anarchy, without any written rights, we would have those liberties, given a reasonable society. Just not here.

I think modern science has disregarded the scientific method as not required anymore to make claims about what we “know”.

Yeah, that’s one of the pretty big problems I see happening in the current scenario.
People becoming way more hand-wavy about having been proven wrong, which sometimes seems (we can’t know whether it actually is) outright disingenuous.

The religion related scenario I painted was probably possible due to how long it lasted. Maybe we will have to wait for this one to last long enough to know whether what it yields is as undesirable or more.
For now, at least I don’t see it going in the same direction as the religion power, simply because it’s not the science people that are holding power, but other politics oriented ones. So if it were to go in an undesirable direction in the far future, it would have to be in some other direction.

then aren’t you admitting that so far you haven’t known the answer?

That’s the point of science. Humility and requestioning yourself everytime someone gives new input, instead of sticking to some old text that some human wrote and multiple other humans over a long period of time, translated; all using lossy translation techniques.

This mentality is similar to what you will see from many people in places of power (no matter how small), trying to evade criticism using the same social power that they need to be responsible about. Just that in case of religion, one has found a scapegoat, so unassailable that it can be reused indefinitely.

You can see, which approach is more desirable by simply considering the following facet of the result that we have when we have a science majority vs a religion majority…

• In times when religious organisations were in power, those who criticised them were killed and their works destroyed to as much of an extent as possible
• In times when scientific thought was prevalent (scientific organisations don’t get social power owing to their lack of charisma, which stems from the very basic attribute of the modern philosophy of science - that one can be wrong) the religious organisations criticising science are not destroyed until almost extinction, but are allowed to question all results and have the opportunity to aggregate their views.
  • You will always see some kind of religion vs another
  • You might see “science-ism” vs some other religion
  • You will see political orgs (which represent one of the peaks of social power in the current age) vs some politico-religional orgs trying to destroy and silence the other
  • You will not see science trying to silence a religion
  • You will see businessmen trying to use scientific results as a stepladder to social power. You will also see them fail in the long term, simply due to the nature of science.

According to kittenzrulz123, you need a choker and a skirt to go with the Rust book.
Also, some specific ThinkPad apparently. Guess my R52 won’t do.

They are called easter eggs and they are a feature.

You’ve got SVG.

But the main +ive point of a PDF is that it is a pain to work with.

Hey, I was never taught how to rotate a PDF.

I just looked for the button in the viewer.

Sometimes, I just rotate the screen instead.
