  • I think it depends a lot on the style and size of pants, and it’s just a personal preference.

    While I prefer smaller phones for how they feel in the hand, all of my pants could easily fit a phone 7" or larger. But if normal phones don’t fit in your pockets, then a folding phone makes sense.

    Also personally I’m the sort of person who dislikes how bulky traditional wallets are, and I’m bothered by my earbuds case. But point taken that a folding phone still isn’t very thick generally.




  • Definitely, although I think it’s most interesting if the advanced technology is based on the magic.

    Like, let’s say there is a world where there are magic plants that can heal you, people who can magically scry nearby locations if they meditate deeply, and stones that levitate in the moonlight.

    And there’s an evil empire that exploits the fuck out of this by industrially farming the plants to create a highly concentrated serum, removing people’s brains and hooking them up to computers for magical sensing abilities, and attaching fragments of moon rocks to the levitating stones to create antigravity. Creating invulnerable flying supersoldiers with impossibly good radar powered by brain backpacks.



  • This is bullshit. Adobe had a negative space verion of the a, but never used anything that looks like this until very recently. Meanwhile Delta has beem using this logo for well over a decade.

    Also, it’s a pretty generic logo that probably shouldn’t be trademarkable. (the earlier negative space version, sure, but not what amounts to basically just a triangle)

    It sucks that corporations can basically just decide that something is theirs now, and force everyone else to stop using it.

    This sequence approximates an integer to arbitrary precision, not 8 specifically though, and never perfectly.

    I tried it out using other bases, and the rule seems to be that doing this in base n results in n-2 with remainder n-1. So it doesn’t ever actually converge, but the remainder becomes small very fast.







  • They took a bunch of rich women, dressed them up in objectifying skintight suits, then flew them to space for 10 minutes in a glorified plane ride on the second richest guy’s dick shaped rocket. And we’re supposed to be “inspired”, meanwhile women who are actual rocket scientists and astronauts are being erased and removed from NASA’s web site because “woke dei” or whatever.
