Simple Wikipedia is where nerds use a list of allowable words go to remind anyone without an advanced degree in whatever the gently caress they're describing that they clearly did not receive enough atomic wedgies in high school, college, and most likely adulthood.

(not a Wikipedia quote) Reminder to please plant your yards and gardens with species native to your region. Native plants will host native bugs, which feed native or migratory birds. Non-native species decrease biodiversity and should be considered ornamental - consider Doug Tallamy's analogy of treating non-native species like statues, it's ok to have a few for ornamental value, but you wouldn't want to crowd the place with them.

To be fair, this is significantly easier to understand than an actual automatic transmission. Also, after childishly laughing at the term "(reciprocating) dingle arm" with friends, I looked it up and it refers to the trailing arm of a boomerang once it's thrown.

animist posted:In 1999, DigiScents developed a computer peripheral device called iSmell, which was designed to emit a smell when a user visited a web site or opened an email. The device contained a cartridge with 128 "primary odors", which could be mixed to replicate natural and man-made odors. DigiScents had indexed thousands of common odors, which could be coded, digitized, and embedded into web pages or email.[4] After $20 million in investment, DigiScents was shut down in 2001 when it was unable to obtain the additional funding it required.[5]

Zamujasa posted:Thomas Jefferson may not have invented the cipher technology that became known as the coding we see today but he implanted the existence of such an invention. Without the creation of the Jefferson disk the making of future ciphers wouldn't have happened until much later in our history or possibly would never have happened at all. Our technological knowledge would be far behind what it is now if coding didn't thrive. Coding has influenced more of our history than most even believe. We've won wars using it, we've communicated with it, we've created machines using it, we even use it in our phones and computers without even realizing it. Jefferson sparked the creation of a main part of the world of technology that we use in our everyday lives whether we know it or not. We would have a very different and underdeveloped world compared to today without it being invented. we owe Thomas Jefferson a great thanks for creating such an invention.

Jabberlock posted:Their anarcho-communist political leanings led them to have an irreverent attitude toward authority, and to espouse a variety of political and social causes including animal rights and pacifism (early in their career) and later regarding class struggle, Marxism, feminism, gay liberation, pop culture, and anti-fascism. IIRC, guttermonkey went through with it, shared some correspondence with the band with a quote like "oh dear, I'll ask everyone if anyone would match it with a "guttermonkey" tattoo," and then guttermonkey got banned for posting bestiality in A/T or PYF.

distortion park posted:ive never understood the basilisk thing. why's it any different for an ai than a human dictator? once it exists why does the ai care? Any challenge to their faith in this yet-to-awaken machine god is drowned out with assertions that ain't zeros to numbers stacks the odds against the critics. The problem, as I'm sure you've realized by now, is that it's really loving stupid. You can't make a stupid premise true by piling large numbers on top of it, but that's what they do because it's not just the belief system, at the core of it, they're really loving stupid.

Captain Hygiene posted:In one extreme instance of self-censorship, the team explored an urban legend stating that a widely available material could be used to create an explosive. To their surprise, the seemingly unlikely legend proved true, but the material was so easy to obtain, and the resulting explosion so powerful, that the production team decided allowing such information to reach the general public would be irresponsible, instead electing to destroy all footage of the experiment and agreeing never to speak of the incident.
