This comic wasn’t particularly funny to me to begin with. The above dissection is why. This toad was dead on arrival.

The punchline implies that assumption or parallel processing. It must because it’s inconsistent with the common rules of the myth. Wishes are commonly executed in series, not in parallel, which is impicit in the syntax of the first, second, and third wish. So that assumption of parallel wish processing isn’t even consistent with most of the language of the comic or with the final panel.

Wanna listen to a Midwestern nerd talk at length about how awful these kinds of devices are with respect to efficiency? I got you…

Technology Connections - Thermoelectric cooling: it’s not great.

They sometimes track, record, log evidence, and wait for the losses to accrue enough to prosecute at a higher level.

If you haven’t grown up drinking it, coconut water tastes a bit funky the first time you try it. The first time I tried it, it was kind of funky and I didn’t care much for it. The second time I tried coconut water was after hiking several miles in high heat, sunshine, and high humidity, it still tasted a bit funky. It tasted exactly the same actually, but this time, being quite dehydrated and nearing heat exhaustion, it tasted fucking amazing. Now I love that sweet coconut water umami, so much better than Gatorade or any other sports drink.

The behavior in question is a viral meme just like the post. Some kitties/kiddies learn to entertain themselves unspooling the roll, some never do. In a household with the potential for some bored gremlin learning this behavior it can be safer to just not present the opportunity, even if the behavior hasn’t been seen before.

The real hack is (almost) always social.

If I encountered someone I thought was bullshitting me about some Gen alpha Internet micro genre, I’d probably just roll with it too while admiring the improv.

Not OP, but I have similar feelings and they have nothing to do with the client or plugins. If I can’t easily and securely share my Jellyfin with the Internet beyond my LAN without resorting to a VPN, then Jellyfish is not going to come close to replacing Plex. Sharing my library securely with tech illiterate family and any browser I have access to, without modification, was the one and only reason I moved away from XBMC/Kodi and installed Plex in the first place. Jellyfin is fine inside my LAN and for my personal use, totally fails at hosting.

Maybe that’s an E, but the rest isn’t text, it’s sheet music. It’s a shame it’s cropped because, although I’ve seen a bunch of example of illuminated texts, I’ve not often seen such embellishments on sheet music.

Yep, you caught me, I forgot to mention the very obvious detail that you shouldn’t repeat paths that you’ve already taken unless your back tracking take a new branch. But also, mazes and city grids are two very different topological spaces, so not really applicable anyway.

Think it through. That doesn’t really have any bearing. You follow a wall and turn right whenever you have the option. You’ll exit the loop the same way you came in and continue through the rest of the maze.

“Any corner will do, from there just keep making right turns. It may not be the optimal path, but it will get you out of the maze.”

A bee headbutting you is not necessarily an agressive act, could be just investigatory on the part of the bee. I’ve walked into the heart of a flowering shrub covered in hungry bees, during which they either ignored me or headbutted me. As long as “defending the hive” isn’t part of the bee interaction, they are usually very chill but remain very curious. I’m still careful when the headbutts happen because accidents happen and a confused bee tangled in hair may still sting. But I have also gently untangled a bee or two without anyone getting hurt.

Even when defending the hive, bees seem to prefer as little direct agression as possible. I’ve stepped into a clearing and suddenly found myself way too close to a wild bee hive and got stung exactly once by a bee that got tangled in my hair as I fled the approaching swarm.

I’ve also gotten a solitary wasp tangled in my hair, near no hive or any flowers, and gotten stung 3 times on one knuckle as thanks for setting them free. The bees have taught me to treat them with compassion and respect. The wasps have taught me to react with murder and extreme violence before they are even aware of me.

Both are pollinators though. So despite the animosity, I don’t go out of my way to wage war against wasps the way I do mosquitoes.

Yes.

That’s an argument to be made, but I don’t believe that is true at all. Sending one car to check on the safety/welfare of one active threat seems an entirely reasonable balance of risk. An unverified active threat is not at all the same as a confirmed active threat. That should be obvious simply by the existence of “swatting” as a common term and act these days.

It is not the duty of police to protect people from eminent harm, they have argued this themselves in court. Their job is strictly punitive, again an argument they have made in court many times. They only pretend to “protect and serve” when it suits their agenda of justification for their over inflated budgets. This isn’t a public safety issue. It’s a class warfare issue.
