You just captured the daily life of a UK academic after the catastrophically low recruitment numbers this year.
"My dear, monogamy is an entirely relative concept with no fixed frame of reference!'
Huh, neat!
The University of Amsterdam will always have a special place in my heart - it's where Brouwer began his revolution in mathematics. Though, I believe his student's student (the late Professor Troelstra) was more fond of hunting for species of bramble around Amsterdam than horses tails!
Ah the "horsetail", a plant that survived the extinction of the dinosaurs...
Even a small fragment of it can grow into a new plant, it spreads both via rhizomes and spores, and it'll punch through any barrier eventually too.
Given the revolutionary flavour of the university of Amsterdamn's history, it might well fit.
We won't have kids because, despite doing everything right, despite working hard, we're struggling with finances. Kids wouldn't be affordable without an extra job, and most of work two already!

That's how much the 1993 Mario Brothers movie grossed worldwide. Really pause and think about that.
Let that sink in.
The mario brothers movie made $7,000,000 more than this, in 90s money. One of the greatest disappointments in movie history, which has a cult following for its level of fail, outperformed Borderlands.
That is the orbital nuke of fails.
Badger on the left just saw his healthcare bill. Badger on the right ate some bad beans and is contemplating the nature of regret.
I love the Lemmy vegan community - they are the second greatest shitposters around (fuckcars have the edge due to their expert ragebaiting).
Wait, that's illegal, I'm calling the cyber police!
Spherical geometry - good times...
Yep, it's a triangle. You can also make one with three right angles on a sphere!
Oh I definitely believe they won't make a wise decision - these past few years have been devastating when it comes to decisions.
Come visit academia some time... Copyright laws ensure we do all the work and get nothing in return;)
I rather think the point is being missed here. Copyright is already causing huge issues, such as the troubles faced by the internet archive, and the fact academics get nothing from their work.
Surely the argument here is that copyright law needs to change, as it acts as a barrier to education and human expression. Not, however, just for AI, but as a whole.
Copyright law needs to move with the times, as all laws do.
"Humans engaging in tongue combat to determine fitness of mate. Note the closed eyes, scientists believe this is because of how bloody this ritual could become; humans closed their eyes to keep the blood out."
For when you need something to test video playback on your old windows 95/98/XP friend (files and instructions in description).
Not all art shows something beautiful - this really does feel like the internet of today without a lot of browser tweaking.
We've received word that we're migrating from the older version of Blackboard to the new, "student approved", Blackboard Ultra.
We'll be migrating our courses by hand over the summer; how bad is this going to be?
A few years ago I stumbled onto this, and it provided a nice afternoon feature film. Figured the folks here would enjoy it!
Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid.
Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).
A curated list of awesome open source emulators. Contribute to alnacle/awesome-emulators development by creating an account on GitHub.

Mednafen is worth a go if you're looking for a lightweight set of emulators to run your dumped carts.
Thought I'd post this up here since I've not seen it mentioned. For those who want to explore the world of discworld, this is a great MUD.
Very friendly community when I hop on every few months, and with a lot of rich detail from the books.
