This made me chuckle because of some of the truth in it:

What universities actually do, however, is publish papers nobody reads in journals nobody can afford, in order to make their numbers go up in ranking systems nobody understands, so they can attract research funding and student enrollments so they can pay people to publish more academic papers.

Yes and some number of those students leave the university with new ideas and connections. Maybe some of their papers were an exercise to focus their expertise? Not saying universities are the only place that one can find new ideas and connections with the world either.

Those protocols and services still exist among improved means that are also decentralized. One only has to seek them out.

Lovely plumage!

Sure would be nice to convert a lane of each side of those 4 lane freeways to a railway? Seems like there is already lots of transportation allocated land right along major commute ways.

In France they call it “le Royal Mile”

Interesting that Alyssa links to intel’s Xe HPG whitesheet. The hardware could use all the help it can get given the mediocre support intel provided to Linux users with the Alchemist GPU. Not sure it things are any better with Battlemage but I’m glad if Alyssa is targeting Xe HPG regardless.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog portrayed as so awoof.

You could easily split a single one of these sandwiches four ways and share some of their delicious side orders as well.

I agree with the sentiment but the order of words in the title and text appear a bit weird to me. For instance, “totally lost grasp…” and “can’t even seem to…” make more sense to me than how it was posted.

Sibylle is such an enchanting musician. I also enjoy the work of Liz Durrett. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCukvOSSs5UE4ls7efJkhOLA

Not unlike the species of it’s creators, go figure.

The only one that matters right now is the one that gets put on next.

For all the people missing the point of this comic particularly in the U.S.: Look at who has held political and financial power for the last two hundred years, including this one. There are lots of pictures and paintings of people. Do you notice anything in common between nearly all of them besides having wealth and power? Think about the position of everyone else not fitting that description and tell us all again why you personally feel attacked and why this comic is not relevant.

Awesome! This is next on my skills to learn list. Can you suggest some resources for starting out?

yup plain whole yogurt is so versatile! You can always add jam or honey for a sweet tooth. Plain is also great with curries. A good yogurt has no thickeners like corn starch (eew!) or added sugar.

There is a fun space opera series called Black Ocean Outlaws by JS Morin where magical wizards can bring people into imaginary worlds

I came for the pics and stayed for the story!
