@jerry wow, that seems pretty heavy for the drones I’m familiar with. How far did it have to carry them?
@futurebird mainly my name these days, to the point that when I was forced to write out a whole sentence by surprise when taking the GRE I could barely do it. It looked worse than when I learned in 3rd grade, pretty embarrassing
@futurebird I see…well….how about going into the ant content business? My cat would be a very loyal customer
@futurebird is this a show about ants? Or just show and tell with some ants in person? I’m in dire need of long-form video just showing ants in their colony doing their thing for hours at a time. My cat demands this and I can’t find much of it.
@filippo IIRC it was at RWC 2017 that NIST presented their PQC contest and some quantum computer people were telling me that all the fundamental challenges were solved and it was now just an engineering problem that within 10 years would produce something useful. 9 years later I’m glad to see we still have at least 9 more years.
You know what Daylight? Keep fucking around like this and someday, no one is going to save your ass.
@futurebird having had to try to figure out this completely ambiguous labeling on my own refrigerator, I can confidently tell you that I have no idea and whoever did this is bad at their job
@Viss You’re absolutely right! This is a common problem when referencing Portal, there are too many good ones. Would you like me to suggest some more topical video game references? What’s your favorite thing about space? Mine is space.
@Viss well, there’s your problem. This is very much the expected result for Aperture Science. Everyone’s worried about GLaDOS but you’re running Wheatley.

@futurebird like 10 years ago I was watching a 20-year-old train VHS tape I got at a thrift store, with my roommate at like midnight. It had all the latest locomotive reviews and video from this dude’s local train club. He had his phone number on the back, in another state across the country. My roommate called him up.

“Hey, are you the train guy?”
(Sleepy) “…yes?”
“Uh…cool….so…are you still making those train videos?”
“Yes, but could you maybe call back tomorrow? It’s 3AM.”

The problem was not some random weirdos calling him about his train tapes, the problem was the time of day.
