NGL, it was nice to see the offense doing some things, but relief was my main emotion, as well as curiosity because as I’ve mentioned, I just don’t pay attention to rosters during the offseason anymore. Apparently Georgia Tech is our “pick from the hat” rotating farm club this year. Yes, I know it’s because that’s where the OC came from, but CFB’s vibes are still very weird these days.

Finally, the fact that we’ve got a normally structured coaching staff is also the sort of thing you couldn’t miss until it was gone.

Maybe some questions on defense, but Florida talking care of business.

Also, before the game is over, I want to point out that with the specific helmet shells that many of the FAU players are wearing, their retro logo looks like it’s even more retro, an old-timey greater Florida where Biloxi and Mobile are part of the Panhandle.

FAU @ UF

Gators looking efficient and competent in the early going. Given that it probably took a non-negligible percentage of the state’s GDP to keep Jadan Baugh, this is a bit of a relief.

18 months ago I upgraded my very old build one last time. I think the thread where I was asking about it should be in my history, actually. As part of that, I grabbed 16GB of no-name DDR4 for $22. It was almost an afterthought. That exact same pair of sticks is now listed at $104.

I think you’ll find pretty much all secular historians of the time and place will agree that there was probably an itinerant preacher by the name of Joshua going around in the area who was baptized by John, got in trouble with the local authorities, and got himself executed, but his followers eventually regrouped and built myths around him.

The gospels themselves, including the ones that didn’t make the cut in the Council of Rome, are a form of documentation, and Jesus is independently attested several other times within a century of his death and not always kindly. It’s pretty decent documentation for a non-elite of that era, though.

Anyone who claims much more than that likely is shilling for Christianity, but it’s wishful or even conspiratorial thinking to insist that Jesus was completely made up. Better to attack the notion of his being divine, because that actually is sky-daddy nonsense.

Well, we’ll see how the niners do on 9 days rest versus the Rams’ 1. Then the winner will play Collingwood in a game of Austus as a control. We run the game tapes through Claude and publish in any journal that will accept the paper. SCIENCE!

Dallas, I’ve never had an issue. Houston, I got all kinds of zits and pilling and was thinking about getting or making a filament dryer before we moved. Both can be pretty humid, but the difference between 60% and 90% is significant.

Better than the sadness fizz that the can was supposed to contain. 🤣

Honestly, the best history discussions on Lemmy seem to be people explaining history memes. That’s actually fitting for the type of content that has generally maintained momentum here. The quality of discourse we get here is quite good when it happens, but we are dealing more with broad-minded amateurs who respect proper historiography, rather than than actual historians. The name of this community does it a disservice in that case.

AH is a special case on reddit. Their moderation is unapologetically draconian and exclusive, and they’ve said on many occasions that they’re openly in it for the large preexisting audience, and find the rest of Reddit culture and admin tools to be a burden. You know exactly what you’re getting with them: either nothing, or really interesting responses from millennial historians with masters and PhDs.

I generally love it, except for the occasional AMA with some author/well known professor who is half-assing the discussion, yet the mods don’t want to alienate them because there could be IRL professional repercussions.

Fun at parties, you must be, hrmmmm.

Needs more of the flared nylon filament tagging thingers.

Frankly, it had to be very bad to get these guys to go as far as “non-concur” in writing at all.

Hegseth is literally unqualified to manage a large bureaucracy of any kind, evil or not, much less one with bombs and guns. I am guessing that it’s a day-to-day operational shit-show, on top of being the same type of moral and long-term-strategy shit-show that Iraq was.

Knowledge it is, to know a fruit, you are. Wisdom it is, to put you in our fruit salad, we must not.

Look, if you’re running such a shit-show that the fuckin’ Bezos Post publishes your leak, maybe you look in the mirror once you wake up from your post-workout everclear shots (gotta minimize them empty calories!).

Those flag officers are probably just low-T poindexters.

Didn’t watch all of it. Glad I didn’t. Sonny can’t get these guys disciplined to save his life, even when they’re otherwise playing well, which they did not today. Gary Patterson’s legacy gets safer by the loss and it looks like it’s even starting to claim a higher proportion of the playoff year.

More generally, I’m having trouble getting motivated to see this year’s crops of transfers. Get that bag, boys, but I don’t necessarily want to watch, at least not quite so enthusiastically. The season will probably worm its way into taking up my time, but watching the teams and fans get to know each other in August and September is not great viewing.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the NFL feels like the purer experience right now.

Just a little after my teen years, but HTF and Bawls (grabbed while in the checkout line at Fry’s Electronics) bring up some memories. And… is that Pixie Stix? If so, the 60s through the 90s would like a word.

I’m sorry, but that’s clearly Andy Samberg.

C’mon now, sometimes it’s a 21% APR loan Camaro!

Well, keycaps potentially got added to the list of things to design, but otherwise the basics are the same. There would just be an adjustment to the 2-D “plate” files you’d need to use, and you’d run into the complications from a printer build plate sooner (depending on printer and keyboard size). You might not need to go a full 20-25% though. Just 5 or 10 might be enough and then you could maybe still get away with “normal” keycaps. Different shape families of keycaps have different names, and the XDA (sold by every random reseller on Amazon) or ISA (made for one specifix brand, XVX) both have pretty large top surfaces that would help with making your fingertips comfortable and blunting the aesthetic hit of altering a dimension we’re subtly used to.
