Different commands on different interfaces. On windows it used to be CTRL but on Linux I’ve found it’s ALT more now

Or ALT+NumberRow to select a tab

The “detecting blurriness” bookmark is very fitting

I saw Obama in 2016 in Elkhart, IN, where he made the infamous “if if if if we…” gaffe. It was a fun speech and the crowd was very energetic.

It’s easy, they decided to wrap the button to be tight to the text itself, instead of a small rectangular area, so just aim for one of the letters and hope you didn’t accidentally hit the negative space inside one of them.

So in other words, the big equation of gravity gives us a formula on one side, and the solution + x on the other, and we have to solve for x (dark matter) but we don’t know how to do it yet

So you piss on your skin, too! I’m glad I’m not the only one

If you’re using the book correctly, you couldn’t say the same thing. Using a flora book to identify a plant requires learning about morphology and by having that alone you’re already significantly closer to accurately identifying most things. If a dichotomous key tells you that the terminating leaflet is sessile vs. not sessile, and you’re actually looking at that on the physical plant, your quality of observation is so much better than just photographing a plant and throwing it up on inaturalist

Guy was up on a mezzanine installing rubber roofing (I work in an RV factory), suddenly either seized or fainted or had a stroke, nobody’s really sure, fell off the catwalk and landed on his head 19ft below on concrete. Died immediately. It happened maybe 50ft from my workstation.

The company suits came by to sing kumbaya and tell us how we’re all a “family”, took a single day of production off (so they could clean the blood up, presumably) and production started back up as normal. He had been working there for 25 years.

Maybe people just enjoy reading the kinds of replies that these kinds of questions tend to garner?

I have a photo encrypter on my phone with this feature, LockMyPix. You can establish two vaults with their own passwords, or set up features like putting the password in backwards to go to a fake vault etc.

It’s all our world. If your house were on fire I’d hope you wouldn’t want me to have the same mindset as yours and not call 911.

I could picture someone like Peter Weller playing The Judge. Or maybe Ed Harris.

Try not to look too much into Mayhem’s history…

Well my comment has more upvotes on it than yours, therefore I can objectively posit that my explanation has greater meaning than yours, therefore I am right and you are wrong. This explanation has zero flaws in it whatsoever.

In all seriousness, I appreciate the comment and I generally feel that you encapsulated the idea more eloquently than I did.

The way I look at it, the big difference is between existentialism and absurdism lie in the problem of universalism. An existentialist is in many cases also going to be a Christian, possibly a Christian who is having a lot of doubt in their faith or struggling with the problem of evil, things like that. Existential philosophy tries to square the fact that we exist as moral beings but we seem to live in a world that lacks a universal concept of morality, so where does our morality even come from if it is not universal? To the existentialist, morality IS the underlying basic law of nature, and thus morality is itself a higher meaning, but morality is not applied universally, and this is a great conflict.

Absurdists, I feel, ultimately accept the fact that morality is NOT necessarily the basic underlying law of nature. Morality is subjective and it is personal, and it is messy and often falls short. I imagine that the absurdists have already gone through the existentialist crisis and come out on the other side with an acceptance of the seeming meaninglessness of it all, of the fact that our moral scruples are ultimately just a way to cope with existence and not some Higher Truth that we must strive towards.

So, in short:

• Nihilism: Life is meaningless, and all pursuit of meaning is futile. — universalist, negative.
• Existentialism: Life lacks inherent meaning, but we must create our own meaning in a world that often seems indifferent. — subjective (not necessarily universalist), can range from negative to positive.
• Absurdism: Life is inherently meaningless, but we can choose to create and embrace our own meaning, even in the face of the absurd. — subjective, generally positive.

Most tractors are manual too, I’m pretty sure. I would be surprised to find any farmers out there who only drive automatic.
