A couple of years ago I had a bit of a complicated and rare condition that required dental surgery (a tooth I broke as a kid caused some inflammation that basically dug a big hole in my skull over years) . The surgeon was so excited, especially when I opted for a more challenging and less destructive solution to the situation, I knew I was in good hands.

He was like "Ooh! we're going to have so much fun together! A case like this is soooo rare!" and I joked that it's not something you want to hear from a surgeon but it really assured me that he's good and passionate about his job. And he did indeed do a great job.

You can set it to not be diagonal.

I knew a guy who was selling his art online, he was making tongue-in-cheek, technically bad art but it was very deliberate as part of what he was trying to get at, he had a real artistic vision to his work.

His work got picked by MOBA and was made fun of, but they totally missed the point.

It's good, but didn't leave that big of an impression on me, maybe because I didn't know all the SCP stuff beforehand, I just liked qntm's other works so I read it.

I actually think the ending of it really prevented it from being that (at least for me). It started good, then the second act was like "Whoah, this is the most amazing sci-fi I've ever read", then the third act was just all over the place and completely lost me. And that's the revised ending, I didn't read the original one.

That is the first programming environment I ever used. It was an amazing starting point.

I know/knew a few, they usually balance things like teaching, magazine writing, maintaining social media accounts for brands, copywriting for ads, and tech jobs.

IIRC Leonard Cohen started performing his poems as a singer to make a living.

These are the same trees known as Cum Trees, right?

My neighbors have a couple, I didn't know these before moving to the US, and the first time I smelled them was... something.

I haven't used Linux as a desktop in over 2 years, and I really miss Gnome.

How is it charging as fast as a charger 3 times more powerful?

Same here, I actually started to buy some at $30 for the heck of it, but the process to buy then was so involved that I gave up and wanted to get back to it later, and never did.
