i hate you

…you just unlocked something it my brain. if it’s the video i’m thinking of, the costumes were all this shit-brown color of latex paint that wrinkled uncomfortably as people mowed in them. like, full-body pterodactyl costumes with dick holes.

and then scientific consensus made him change it. there was a clique of, quote, “patriotic” englishmen who, worried about “foreign influences”, kept using the misspelling, but they were very few and very much gone by the time the americans changed their minds.

no.

the discoverer, humphry davy, was english. the name is originally the english “alum” and the latin “ium”, which was criticized because names were traditionally constructed from latin roots. european scientists suggested “aluminium”, for “element created from alum”, but the year after that, when davy published a chemistry book, he spelled it “aluminum”. this took hold in britain, but the rest of europe used “aluminium” so they standardized.

a few years later, when the word first appeared in an american dictionary, only the “num” spelling was added. scientists kept using “-ium” but the general populace went on the dictionary definition until it won out. the “american” spelling was only accepted by american scientists about 110 years after the element was discovered.

i thought the original name was alumium?

do you plug things like monitors in over usb-c? that may not work without thunderbolt.

they are all adventure games. according to their wiki, that means they are alike enough to theoretically all run out the same engine.

i guess i can see it; scenes, actors, triggers…

scummvm is way broader than just scumm now. it even runs myst!

when they fix the hardcoded craftmethod table so we can do data-driven craftmethods, maybe. i tried years ago and the code was so spaghettified that i gave up.

yes. yes it is.

the design is insane, the people behind it are insane, the story is double-insane.

strawberries are accessory fruits, not nuts.

no, the linked table shows how python also returns the first non-falsey result of an a or b expression rather than just giving a boolean. it’s useful for initialising optional reference args:

def foo(a: list = None)
    a = a or []

works with and as well.

i am actively looking for one to color-coordinate my bedroom.

dendrite seems to be written in go nowadays, which i did not expect.

also, what spurred this political tirade? i just sat down!

i’ll get a cash bonus once the probationary period is up at my new job, which i can use to knock like 10% off of the cost of my mortgage.

a friend of mine is getting bottom surgery and i’m looking forward to it for them, it’s nice that people around me are happy.

also, dunno if it’s something to look forward to exactly but if it turns out i do have hypertension and i can get on exforge i may not only be rid of my chronic headaches but also figure out if i actually have adhd, since amlodipine apparently lessens the symptoms. it would be nice to be able to do things.

i thought dendrite was the new hotness?

the backend is no longer fully open source

can you expand on this? never heard it before.

yeah but rednax wasn’t.
