@stux What are you up to lately, we are going to have to hang out again sometime soon.

I get that many people in prison did bad things. But we need to get past our petty feelings of revenge and hurting back people as "justice". We can do better.

So apparently the Japanese produced this sewing machine that had a slot for a Gameboy color and connected to it withrough the game slow. This would bring up an interface on the gameboy so that you can control the sewing machine with it.

This has got to be the most Japanese thing on the face of the planet.

A quick 15 second summary of the Harry Potter series:

A story about a child kidnaped by an old gay guy who secretly has him raised by a physically and mentally abusive family to "toughen him up" so he could convince him to commit suicide when he is older by having another dude who is into necrophilia willfully kill him.

Moreover the old dude was a habitual kidnapper and and we later find out actually kidnapped the necrophilia dude when he was a kid too. In fact he kidnapped him, convinced him he had magical powers, and then after he grew up spent most of his life trying to kill the poor kid he kidnapped before ultimately just giving up and getting the second kid he kidnapped to commit suicide in the off chance it will solve the fucking mess he made.

P.S. Sorry about the repeat, wanted to share this with the funny group.

When children are taught to devalue others they learn to devalue anyone, even their parents. Parents should remember that when they teach their children bigotry; whether it is against gays, women, other religions, or the poor. Because one day you will be old and in need of their charity. The values you teach them as a child will determine if they will treat you with love and support or if they marginalize you as a human being with no worth.

This is my favorite part of the harry potter books because it was such a character twist. It shows that the man we thought was the caring father figure (Dumbledore) was in fact callus and even cruel in being willing to sacrifice someone he acted like a father figure to. Meanwhile the one man we all thought was the asshole was really the one who cared about him more than even Dumbledore...

"So the boy… the boy must die?" asked Snape quite calmly.

"And Voldemort himself must do it, Severus. That is essential."

Another long silence. Then Snape said, "I thought… all these years… that we were protecting him for her. For Lily."

"We have protected him because it has been essential to teach him, to raise him, to let him try his strength," said Dumbledore, his eyes still tight shut. "Meanwhile, the connection between them grows ever stronger, a parasitic growth: Sometimes I have thought he suspects it himself. If I know him, he will have arranged matters so that when he sets out to meet his death, it will truly mean the end of Voldemort."

Dumbledore opened his eyes. Snape looked horrified.

"You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?... You have used me… I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to keep Lily Potter's son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter…"

"But this is touching, Severus," said Dumbledore seriously. "Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?"

"For him?" shouted Snape. "Expecto Patronum!"

From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.

"After all this time?"

"Always," said Snape.

If you have to tell people how few fucks you give, if people dont already know how few fucks you give, then you clearly give too many fucks already.

“A Cherokee elder was teaching his young grandson about life.
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt and ego.
The other is good- he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you—and inside every other person, too."
The boy thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The elder simply replied,
"The one you feed.”
― Tsalagi Tale

Holy hell I think I cracked the stock market! This new algorithm I invented is insane. The back testing was like nothing I've seen and real world performance is already matching exactly what the backtests showed....

I wanted to share a write up I did not to long ago explaining **circuit duals** with a specific focus on **magnetic circuits**. They behave the same as an electric circuit in the sense that anything you can do with an electric circuit there is an equivalent way to do it with a magnetic circuit. A magnetic circuit is a circuit that uses the magnetic fields propagating through "wires" rather than electric fields. It's a very cool idea and worth a read, though all the usual electric concepts are flipped, for example instead of talking about electromotive force (EMF/voltage) you would use magnetomotive force instead (MMF) as filling the same function as voltage in an electric circuit.

Let me know what you think, this tutorial was a week long effort to write.

A reminder to democrats, who managed to recently elect our very first segregationist president in living history. Here is a quote from your glorious leader when talking about obama...
