Idk what the fuck this brand is even called. It just says "vegetable" and is the culinary equivalent of crack cocaine. Yes, I did eat that entire pack in one sitting.

Ignore my hairy leg in the background. I'm boymodding.

This is the title of a slide that a person sitting next to me is working on

Bro is generating these generic ass meaningless slides using a premium chatGPT. This is what we are killing the planet for .

You know you are producing NOTHING OF VALUE if a chatbot outputting words without content can do your whole job for you.

... He just asked chatgpt if the thing he is working on counts as a digital platform.

I swear to fucking God many of the executives of the legacy manufacturers and retailers need to be shot. I'm trying to migrate my designs from Multisim now that I am liberated from hell (I graduated) to a FOSS. Unfortunately, I still keep encountering the problem of not being able to easily add new parts. Right now, I am trying to add shit to KiCAD.

I found someone online asking for a unified way to add parts to KiCAD (symbols, simulation model, 3D model, cost characteristics) and connect this to internet distributors.

Everyone replies by saying this isn't possible. You know why? Cause we don't have communism (yes, one of the replies literally starts talking about how communism doesn't work, but also open source is communism and open source is still cool). The parts vendors literally encrypt their models so that you can only download and simulate them if you pay for the keys. The online interfaces for searching parts want their subscription fees and try to sabotage free services.

And like, I get that some features cannot be implemented in a super convenient way for legitimate reasons (don't want to lock people into a single vendor, so there can't be a unified library). But dawgs, this industry is so cooked .

I had no idea that there was a fujoshi in the BBC cast of "journalists", and I have trouble believing that the arrestees would be forced to strip nude. Does anybody have more information on what is going on?

I saw this graph be posted around on reddit (the graphics definately look like they are from the zionist rag). I don't know which attack piece it was pulled out of though.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure what exactly is happening here, cause I didn't follow the election at all. However, I doubt that primaries are all too representative of the broader state of public opinion in NYC.

According to a quick Google search on Wikipedia, the primary had about 1 million votes, while the population of the 5 boroughs of NYC is almost 9 million.

In theory, a sample size of 1 million is more than enough to make a good statistical comparison, however, personally who votes in democrat primary is a self-selecting category.

Despite this, I am seeing the rather typical accusations levied against mamdani about champagne socialism or whatever (by the same people who don't mind killing the poor and third worlders, but I digress).

One commenter went as far as to proclaim that "there is no more proletariat in America. American labor has achieved the end of history. The cops no longer break their strikes. They all have good union jobs and desire cultural security instead of freebies. Ideology is the luxury of the wealthy".

Of course, the important possible explanations are left out

1. Mamdani is a new guy with no name recognition. His campaign might simply have not reached low income voters who don't keep up with politics.
2. A lag of 13 points still means that he has a significant base amongst the lowest income voters.
3. Most households making between 50,000 and 100,000 in New York are, as far as I know, still working class and not bourgeois. "Working class" has an objective meaning. In fact, even a sole trader petite bourgeois is working class (since proletariat =/= working class, someone who does not own private property).

^^^^^

The above worthless trash known as "multisim", used for simulating circuits costs 905 EUR and

1. Doesn't have a linux version
2. Is missing 90% of new commercially available parts
3. Doesn't have a method of easily adding those parts (except manually, 1 by 1) (as far as I know)
4. Has garbage UI (you can only undo 4 times) (adding or removing a single component can easily use up more than 4 moves)
5. Inconsistent simulations (making the sims work feels like trying to appease a capricious God to not curse you with famine)

The free open source software (qucs-studio) seems to have none of these problems, though I have barely used it.

We had a lunch lecture where this environmental scientist gave a talk about critical materials and how big of a problem our reliance on these are. He links the whole thing up with politics pretty well, explaining how various political actors are involved and benefit from this or that.

At some point, he even mentions how in the netherlands, policy doesn't get passed without a buy-in from industry. It means quite a lot, cause this guy is government hired in recommending policies.

Then he contradicts himself in the next paragraph by saying that this is the curse of democracy that people make stupid decisions.

I ask this guy about the contradiction. How you simultaneously harp about profits over needs, the evils of consultancy firms, and the inability of the Dutch government to do anything but pursue corporate interests, while also talking about the problems of "democracy"?

He just tells me "we are a democracy that's why the Dutch government listens to industry". Well not exactly that, but at least that's the message I get when he talks about all the corporate controlled parties winning the elections and how that's what the people chose.

Dude is this close to realising that the definition of liberal democracy is "legitimised rule by corporations" .

Of course, the lecture ends with a book recommendation for a book about the collapse of human civilisation. And a recommendation to go vote and participate in political parties.

Unlimited death upon elections.

It's over bros/siss/xes

I boiled the pasta, and instead of draining the water, I accidentally added the tomato sauce into the water with the pasta. My pasta is now soup.

The only saving grace is that I usually undercook my pasta and eat it crunchy. So I can still reduce the "soup" a bit before it becomes overcooked.

I just tasted the pasta. I added salt to it which was a mistake because the sauce I bought also has salt in it. I now am beginning to understand how that "if I cook even the simplest of food I will somehow fuck it up and poison everybody" gag in anime works.

I think the title is pretty self-descriptive. I love me some platonic ideals. They are so cute and cuddly . I don't mind getting impaled by the octahedron . I love it unconditionally. And the dodecahedron? It can get it .

There's even more platonic ideals I love. I love those platonic ideals where we assume some kind of context-less vacuum existence of things then debate about them. I love when we use this contexless category to lump things together and refer to the bundle as a single word. This is very helpful for not causing confusion. I was able to handle complexity when I had a BOY brain. But HRT has given me a GIRL brain. Even better, I love talking about good or bad. It makes me feel warm and cozy inside to smite my EVIL enemies.

No, this post isn't made in context of ANYTHING. This post is a platonic ideal!

I can't with this fucking paper anymore. I spent the past few days morning to night developing my models for the circuits I am working on. I have to submit this paper (for a first draft, so there is a silver lining to this) tomorrow by midnight. I had not run my simulations yet, or added citationSS.

I sit down to finally run my simulations, then I realized the circuit had a connection in a slightly different location than what I'd used in developing my theory. To my horror I have come to realize that this makes all my work over the past few days useless and I have to redevelop the theory.

I swear to fucking God, I'm done with this shit. I feel tempted to just ignore this problem and fix it by the time of my final draft. I've been working 7 days a week for God only knows how many weeks now. I just want a regular Sunday for once. I mean, I still have to make citationSS even if I ignore the other problem. And I have to study for a regular course as well...

Honestly ... having irregular hours as a student doesn't mean you have endless free time. It just means that you have no actual overtime protections because there is no concept of overtime and it feels like the university expects you to work 24/7. I'm pretty sure that I'm technically clocking in at 60 hours per week or something like that (50 at bare minimum), excluding the commuting time of about 10 hours.

And then there is the endless limitless chuderry of some of the people that I know. It's honestly kind of insane what people will tell you in private. I had this guy that I know go on a full hinduvata induced Adolf Hitler* type fantasizing about how he would genocide Pakisthan and China. Not very coincidentally, I knew this very outwardly "progressive" and liberal dude bro who got along very well with the Hinduvata when it came to the topic of China.

*he doesn't even deny it when I called him a hitlerite. Like he actually is aware of how insane the things he is saying are and just accepts it.

I've also seen our department's student run bar organize an event where the main attraction was to make fun of anti-fossil fuel protestors and trans people. Yes, the university advertises itself as inclusive. Yes, our department has a number of women that can be counted on your hands. Yes, our department's students constantly take courses from a different department for the purpose of chasing after girls. How could you tell?

And the weirdest of all is the kids who tell me about the criminal and political activities of their ultra rich families. Honestly, this shit is straight up endearing compared to everything else. Yes, I actually would like to know more about the Filipino underworld. Oh, your family has safehouses all over Greece and getaway drivers at standby at all times to escape the country at any time? <--- I'm not even joking about these.

I'll stop myself before I go even deeper into the deep end and go on an even bigger tangent. Of course I have to end this dumb rant on a sour note. The only person I've told about being trans to IRL is constantly misgendering me even when we're not in public.

The more I put my feelings into words, the more I think to myself, "what the fuck have I gotten myself into with this degree?".

God did not give us brains to agonise over writing academic papers and painstakingly add citations. We were given them so we could frolick in the fields and avoid predators.

And yes, maybe I should have documented my process these past 8 weeks so I wouldn't have to cram all the writing in the last week. But, in fairness, whose bright idea was it to give us 9 weeks to do design and write a paper, then 7 weeks to make a presentation and do final edits? Tf do I need 7 weeks to make a presentation for? Do they want me to hand animate the power point slides?

Also, when will I use these skills in the real world? I don't want to go into research!
