that chaos

Just Mustard - I Am You

Love their last album. The kind of music that draws power from vulnerability.

Synthetic human embryos created in groundbreaking advance
  • Big takeaway here is that the embryo created with this technique in animals never could be grown into a live individual. And that science is progressing much faster than law. I'd add that it's progressing faster than ethics as well.

  • Best Open World games?
  • Witcher 3 is a fun game and an acclaimed one at that, so the following is just my personal experience. Not taking away anything from it... but playing a superhuman hunk constantly bumping into sexy young witches thirsty for you felt to me very, very cheesy.

  • How do you get around daily?
  • I hate driving, never managed to complete the driving courses and get the permit. Also my coordination is shit and I never managed to bike. So public transit and walking it is :D

    I also get everything I can through delivery (including groceries), and I work remotely. So I limit the need to get around as well.

  • What's the weirdest food you've eaten?
  • Must be somewhat alike to the beets, quinoa and goat cheese salad I made once. Good stuff! I loved it, but I was pretty much the only one. My family's difficult with food :/

  • how’s your week going, Beehaw
  • I did not know offshore wind farms even existed! This is epic and so are you.

  • Hand-holding or low stakes game for kids.. that adults can actually enjoy
  • Nintendo is hard to beat in the field of family friendly games. Captain Toad is probably the most child friendly game of them all. Mario Odyssey should probably be fun as well. Could really motivate him to learn counting as he looks for the collectibles.

  • Looking for old 90s-00s RPGs and other old PC games
  • You could look into Spiderweb Software games. It’s a veteran mom and pop indie studio from before indie studios were a thing. They’re still going strong in their retro RPG niche and I’m pretty sure their games run on a potato. Recently I’ve enjoyed Queen’s Wish 1 (2 is in my backlog). I have fond memories of the Avernum series as well.

  • please be measured in what you expect of us: a non-binding appeal from one of the people running the site
  • Thank you for your work. I hope you soon reach a balance that respects your well-being. Take good care of yourselves :)

  • What's your favorite construct in SQL?
  • I believe recursive CTEs are pretty cool for tree traversal. Anytime you've got a table with a foreign key on its own primary key they might come in handy.

  • Elon Musk Says Twitter Is Going To Get Rid Of The Block Feature, Enabling Greater Harassment
  • My tinfoil hat theory is this: Musk has ties with dictators who would really, really like to see Twitter die as it’s been used in the past to organize resistance and broadcast embarrassing information. Musk is used to do the dirty job of running it into the ground. He may or he may not be actually aware of this, as your characterization of Musk is on point. Just speculation of course.

  • Netflix sees jump in subs as it begins to curb password sharing in US, says report
  • (I never dare voice this opinion, but this is Beehaw so I’ll take a chance. Please be nice!) I understand piracy as a reaction against unfair corporate practice, but in the long run, with enough traction, this kills not only the distributor but the content creators as well.

    I worry for the artists and the craft. I don’t want free lunch. Whenever I get free lunch either my attention span is being sold as a product or someone can’t live from their work.

    I wish there would be some kind of Bandcamp for series/movies.

  • They are trying to artificially inflate the activity
  • Tired old meme replies all the way down.

  • They are trying to artificially inflate the activity
  • I guess at this point they’re baiting unaware investors or stakeholders or something.

  • Which anime opening do you like more?
  • Cowboy Bebop has a super groovy opening!

  • Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago?
  • I've been finding most of my new music on rateyourmusic.com. Basically I rate/review stuff I like, then I spot some other users that like stuff I like, and I go through their other ratings looking for things I don't know. It's an algorithm free, 100% human process!

  • Discussions on Reddit was often exhausting and mentally draining. How can we make it less so on the fediverse?
  • Exactly! The Internet is the real world. Framing it as a virtual Far West where anything goes is harming human interactions and that attitude is bleeding into traditional channels of communication. Beehaw is giving me hope.

  • Modern Pokemon games hold your hand too much.
  • Free to play MMOs isn't my cup of tea.

  • Why is China drilling down to 10,000 meters—one of the deepest holes in the world?
  • TLDR: to look for resources, and for science. Or for the flex. Maybe a little bit of everything.

    In the end it seems like they're not 100% sure what they'll get out of it, which is kind of cool in a way.

  • Jrpgs for a beginner
  • Dragon Quest XI would be sweet for a beginner I think! It’s not too complex and it’s so full of charm.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I’ve been thinking about it. I do hope Beehaw grows enormously to be vibrant and diverse and lively, but it’s OK too if in the end it’s not the ultimate, humongous, massive instance. Maybe there’s such a thing as a community that becomes too big. There’s something precious about "human scale" places.
