   Did you know that for your largest foodstuff record attempt to be recognized by the Guinness Book, it needs to be completely eaten on the spot?

   No waste. 😌

   How is anyone expecting to sell shitty non-federating Mastodon instance truth.social to the stockmarket for billions of dollars? It doesn't have a business model, it is not cash flow positive.

   Is it a classic pump and dump scheme with market cap shenanigans like these DWAC people created their company, issued themselves 50 million shares and then they bought a handful of them from each other for 40 dollars a piece?

   More fraud to pay for the previous fraud?

     I bought and sold Ericsson shares at a loss around the same time too. A few years later they were worth 10x what I bought them for. 😁

   I used to run a small, closed-registration TT-RSS instance, so I even though I'd already "got" RSS years earlier, that made it so much better.
   
   I'd run a (similarly small and closed-registration) Friendica instance, and used its built-in RSS functionality, but TT-RSS was just so much better for me.
   
   At the time, it even had a mobile client.
   
   I originally dropped it because the main developer stopped doing releases and recommended that people run it from git. To me, that was like being in perpetual beta, and I didn't want to do that.

   The only thing about this move is that I didn’t yet visit #sonOne’s family. I am hoping to get there next month. We’re still trying to arrange a day or two with #Daddy_A, most likely at the oldest’s house, but his finances have been precarious for some time, and there’s a big chance he won’t be able to make the trip.

   We have been reading “Charlotte’s Web” and “The Wizard of Oz” with #GS3 and #GS4 recently. The five year old likes the wiz so much that he carries the book to bed with him, so it doesn’t disappear. (Quite a valid fear with his youngest brother around; the middle child did the same thing at that age.

    >> i think the reason why the assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the funniest political assassinations is for this very simple reason:

    >> 1 guy stabs 1 guy: not funny. that's murder.

    >> 2 guys stab 1 guy: even less funny. that's two against one.

    >> 60 guys stab 1 guy: uproariously funny. why do you need so many guys.

    
    > 60 guys say they'll stab 1 guy, but he only ends up with 23 stab wounds: peak comedy and peak relatability for group projects. what can surpass it?

      "Flavius Eutropius, a prominent Roman historian from the 4th century AD, extensively wrote about the assassination of Caesar and the immediate aftermath of the event. Flavius Eutropius stated that a detailed report of Caesar’s injuries was issued by a physician who performed Caesar’s autopsy, and this report is seen as the earliest documented post-mortem report in history."

      I feel like it's implied that this 4th century report on the report is the oldest physically preserved official-sounding record?

      No, Sietonous and Plutarch wrote official histories and biographies only decades after the events.

      @Capybara :neovim: :arch: It seems a handful of people stabbed him repeatedly according to official history.

      Only a few were there holding knives, the rest of the conspirators were only ... stakeholders.

      Die Karotten und die Nudeln haben eine sehr gleiche Garzeit. Die Tomaten und Gurken hätte ich besser erst so 2-3 Minuten vor Ende dazu getan, Paprika vielleicht so 5 Minuten vorher. Aber ich war auch etwas faul und wollte nicht so viele Schalen abwaschen 😉

    #ThreeBodyProblem is abuzz on Netflix. Fans of the books are saying it's a cool show, but it runs a bit fast and underestimates the audience – The Chinese show is better.

    Here's the excellent news: Tencent is offering the Chinese show on YouTube free of charge!

    So that's on my viewing list.

      @tootbrute I'll watch both, it is inevitable.

      If I haven't read a book, I usually prefer to see the film/series first to avoid hangups with the adaptation, so if Tencent is closer to the book I'll watch Netflix first. 🙂

      And at some point read the book. 😊

    #GS4 decided that this is “walrus week”. I’m pretty tired, so I’ll wait until tomorrow to try to locate some resources about walruses. So far, he seems to prefer penguins to other animals.
    
    He’s also not getting enough sleep because his brothers are loud enough to wake him before he is ready. As a big boy, he resists #naptime. I mention this because he usually falls asleep during the afternoon video about the animal of the week, but if he had taken his nap 💤, he would have the time and energy to see two or three.

    I watched Netflix's 3 Body Problem over two days. It was definitely competent enough to be watchable, but the more I think back on it the less I like it. I haven't read the books, so it's hard to separate some of the flaws in the adaptation from flaws in the source material. Since it was adapted by the Game of Thrones team, it's probably safe to assume it was mostly the former.

    One of my main criticisms is that it seemed to introduce a lot of different ideas but only very shallowly, which I am going to assume is book -> TV lossiness, but when you do that this aggressively I feel like it makes the whole thing seem like a messy pile of absurdity. Another issue is that it seems like this world-ending threat can only be solved by a small handful of people who just happen to all know each other already, though (paradoxically) several of them basically do nothing productive until the very end, as obvious set-ups for a sequel. The most egregious issue that I can probably safely blame on the book is the whole Panama Canal thing, which seems like an indulgent excuse to use a "neat" sci-fi concept, but is so over the top and absurd that it could only exist in (bad) fiction.

    OK, rant over I guess. If you've read the book(s) let me know that you think.
