  • I'd be curious to know why do you think so.

    By process of elimination, it's a contest between you and GMH.

    Oh, come on. You're a macho Latin American man, don't be too hard on yourself.

    Although yeah, Glenn does give off that "well adjusted" vibe. If he was an anime character he'd be ara ara at us all the time.

    i don't have the hair curls to match that vibe.

    as for myself, i'm well-adjusted, except for the parts where i'm not.

    Definitely not me, not since becoming a hikikomori.

    Well, sometimes I get the impression I wouldn't count as an introvert in some parts of the world.

    I would say actually that I'm well-adjusted and socially capable(ish). Amazingly enough.

    Unrelated; I feel like American comics were overtaken by manga at some point and the situation will never be salvaged but I also feel like the manga-in-America thing was a trend that's vaguely over.

    Also Storm, go outside, touch grass, smell the breeze. All that good stuff that (supposedly) works and (allegedly) solves all your problems.

    > be me

    Is all coding like this? Or is it only a meme that it is like this?

    (edit: also, the equations seem solid but the different solvers give different results. Fick that. I will pretend there was an analytical solution, hear that?)

    It's not meant as a comment to the above post, but - I've been considering becoming an alcoholic. I mean, I'm no friend to headache and all the related shizzle, but the temptation is here. I guess you can call it the Slavic thing or not, but, like, at this point in my life I certainly cherish the idea but I can't quite accept the headache. I don't like the headache. And the ill feeling the next day and stuff. (I wouldn't mind barfing if it meant cleansing my organism of the toxin. Which it does not.)

    (edit: barfing as an experience is not the cut off point; I wouldn't mind it if not for the aftereffects. Unfortunately, there usually are the aftereffects. (edit times two: the toxin is assimilated by the organism too quickly for the barfing to be of any help.))

    (edit times three: "toxin" makes it sound like some sort of scorpion venom or shizzle, but you know the thing. That is the last edit, I guess, I don't think I can - or more like, should - manage more.)

    Also, I want you to know that whatever else you want of me, you guys are certainly among the top, like, approximately five of my male relations in my life. (Relations in the sense of, like, not blood relations. Approximately six or seven if Insanity or catch or whoever else shows up.)

    My poor students tomorrow morning. (Oh well. I'm not a harsh teaching assistant anyway.) All the waveforms in my head.

    Let's not and say we did. As a teetotaler, I've seen the effect this has on some guys in a normal capacity and I doubt being a full-on alcoholic can help.

    I don't know how to suggest something truly helpful but maybe consider doing one of those uplifting things life coach bros do on YouTube.
    you guys are certainly among the top, like, approximately five of my male relations in my life.

    This is also true for me, and maybe it's why I was able to make and maintain so many male friendships IRL over the past few years. I really do appreciate you guys, and I'll make good on my lofty promise to visit if my budget ever allows.

    i've tried drinking alcohol and it just seems to give me a headache.

    i have, like, zero reason to drink alcohol. it doesn't make me feel buzzed, it doesn't make me feel better, it just gives me a headache, which instead means i feel worse.

    my recommendation is the following

    I seem to have very good memory for remembering problems, all those recollections come back immediately after I stop doing whatever I'm "forgetting life's problems" with.

    It doesn't help that doing so often involves time, money or some other resource that would be better used in problem solving.

    I'd like to believe if I tried I'd be able to foster relations with people. I may not be a social person but historically I also haven't had too many problems doing so when the situation calls for it, like at previous jobs.

    Something I feel I could have more of are online relationships, I know that's a meme but it's been a while that the internet is important, and by extension so is being in the right place interacting with the right people. I've never tried the "purpose-driven networking" thing before, though (see "I may not be a social person" above, though).

  • A Blender project thing I'm doing right now has led me to going back and learn (and relearn) a bunch of math and physics stuff. I'm super rusty, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it all again.

    Ages ago I thought a vector was an object with magnitude and direction, eventually I came to believe that a vector is an element of a vector space, but I've finally learned the truth; a vector is an object that transforms like a vector.

    I also confirmed that the thing we learned in solid mechanics classes is a tensor even though we never called it that.
  • Happy New Year everyone!

    TIL Emperor Domitian banned mimes and expelled philosophers from Rome.

    I almost thought this was a cross-thread joke because I misread that as "mines".

    Apparently, the last time I talked about puzzles on here was 2018...? (The last overall recorded time I talked about puzzles was Nov. 2024). But well, I might get back into puzzles again after a brief daliance with LEGO Speed Champions.

    My one pet peeve about puzzles is that mid-size puzzles (200, 300 pieces) that can feasibly be completed in one sitting are basically nonexistent and every puzzle is 1000 pieces or so. I guess for puzzlers who have been at it for a while, this is what they want and therefore what the market produces, but I feel like it's waaaay too much.

    Scratch that, it seems I'm wrong, there are more 200-250 puzzles than there used to be.

    Plus it feels a bit weird to talk about puzzles and not mention how one of the major players in the international market is a Polish company.
