@lynnesbianLynnesbian :bune_ylw: So a few years ago I learned the little known email sub-alias feature. If you put a + symbol before the @ symbol you can add arbitrary text to other ppls address

And I discovered that using microsofts API I could use emojis.

The VP freaked out when he got an email from me and his own address showed name+☭☭☭@company.com.

good news for people like me: outlook has an email react feature.

bad news: they only allow you to choose from six emojis.

microsoft, PLEASE allow arbitrary emoji reactions. please update your code to parse all the weird emoji edge cases like the country flags and zero-width-joiner-family-amalgamate things. i NEED to 🧐 react to phishing emails

emoji reaction selector. the available options are: thumbs up, heart, party popper, laughing while crying, shocked, and sad face with a single tear

Animal (De)liberation by Jan Deckers, 2016

Should the Consumption of Animal Products be Banned?

In this book, Jan Deckers addresses the most crucial question that people must deliberate in relation to how we should treat other animals: whether we should eat animal products. Many people object to the consumption of animal products from the conviction that it inflicts pain, suffering, and death upon animals.

directory.doabooks.org/handle/




This book argues that a convincing ethical theory cannot be based on these important concerns: rather, it must focus on our interest in human health. Tending to this interest demands not only that we extend speciesism—the attribution of special significance to members of our own species merely because they belong to the same species as ourself—towards nonhuman animals, but also that we safeguard the integrity of nature. In this light, projects that aim to engineer the genetic material of animals to reduce their capacities to feel pain and to suffer are morally suspect. The same applies to projects that aim to develop in-vitro flesh, even if the production of such flesh should be welcomed on other grounds. The theory proposed in this book is accompanied by a political goal, the ‘vegan project’, which strives for a qualified ban on the consumption of animal products. Deckers also provides empirical evidence that some support for this goal exists already, and his analysis of the views of others—including those of slaughterhouse workers—reveals that the vegan project stands firm in spite of public opposition. Many charges have been pressed against vegan diets, including: that they alienate human beings from nature; that they increase human food security concerns; and that they are unsustainable. Deckers argues that these charges are legitimate in some cases, but that, in many situations, vegan diets are actually superior.

AI에게 쓸모없는걸 물어보았다

전 세계 성인 남성 기준으로 키 202cm는 대략 상위 0.1% 내외에 해당하는 초희귀 구간이다.

### 추정 근거
- 전 세계 성인 남성 평균 키는 약 171cm이며, 지역 혼합 분포를 고려해도 202cm는 평균에서 매우 멀리 떨어진 꼬리 구간이다.
- 국가별 평균이 가장 큰 네덜란드 등에서도 평균이 약 182cm 수준이므로 202cm는 해당 집단 내에서도 극상위에 속한다.

### 계산기와 참고치
- 세계·성별 기준을 선택해 백분위를 산출하는 온라인 계산기가 있으며, 200cm 이상에서는 결과가 0.1%대 이하로 수렴한다는 점을 확인할 수 있다.
- 일부 국가 전체 분포 연구에서도 200cm 초과 남성이 0.1% 미만인 사례가 관찰되어, 전 지구적 혼합 분포에서 202cm는 0.1% 전후로 해석하는 것이 타당하다.

Weird CPU architectures, the MOV only CPU - jaeblog

I like CPU architectures, especially weird, interesting and unusual ones. For example, the Intel iAPX 432 is still something I would love to play around with. Recently, I realized that a working CPU can be made with just a simple Move instruction. For this to work, everything needs to be memory mapped. The ALU, program […]

a bottle of wine and half a bottle of white port later (in the recipe, not in me), about 8 liters of bolognese sauce! who needs therapy???

I was super pleased that my inexpensive food grinder processed all of that without any problems, mincing this by hand would've taken hours

close shot of a spoonful of Bolognese sauce!

La laisse du tigre, David Jaclin, 2019

F(r)ictions humanimales en Amérique du Nord

If a Bengal tiger anxiously splashes around in a small plastic pool in the summer and feeds on supermarket meat, is it still a tiger? By examining the troubled existence of so-called wild animals now living under overwhelmingly domestic and artificial conditions, this book raises the dual question of communication and animality.

directory.doabooks.org/handle/




The turbulent lives of these trafficked animals reflect current ecological changes, embody the precipitous disappearance of animal species, and denote the accelerated deterioration of natural habitats. This book presents animal biographies, such as that of a former laboratory chimpanzee (Rachel) now living in an evangelizing sanctuary, or that of an “unemployed” dolphin (Nellie) put up for auction after the amusement park where it was born and raised went bankrupt. Echoing one another, these biographies make up a bestiary of beings that seem to have leapt from grotesque fiction. Yet, they are anything but imaginary. And thus the age-old question of species is raised once again, albeit in an entirely different fashion than before. Published in French. Un tigre du Bengale, qui barbote anxieusement dans une petite piscine en plastique durant l’été et que l’on nourrit de viande de supermarché, est-il toujours un tigre? En examinant l’existence troublée d’animaux réputés sauvages, mais vivant désormais de conditions domestiques et artificielles puissantes, ce livre pose la double question de la communication et de l’animalité. La vie accidentée de ces animaux trafiqués transpire nos changements écologiques actuels, incarne la disparition vertigineuse d’espèces animales et renvoie à la détérioration accélérée d’habitats naturels. Dans ce livre, on découvre des biographies animales, comme celle d’un chimpanzé cobaye (Rachel) évoluant dans un sanctuaire évangélisateur ou encore...

I know everyone sees me as some kind of rock and roll maniac, which is why it will not surprise you whatsoever to learn it is 5 minutes past midnight and I'm going in for a second helping of salad. Sorry if that's too much for you sheeple.

Here's a free tip if you ever get into older UNIX variants like HP-UX or Solaris: whatever the installer suggests for the partition size for /, increase it massively by taking away space from /home. These old UNIX variants try to minimise the size of / to give more space to /home, and I can 100% guarantee you that's going to bite you in the ass at some point during your fucking around.

Just make /home smaller, and donate it to /. You'll thank me for it.
