Lol @paulg was lied to by an Indian about his 1983 SAT score then got pissy at @Steve_Sailer for pointing it out.

Venture capitalist Paul Graham has blocked me for hurting his feelings by pointing out how implausible is his friend's story of scoring an ultra-rare perfect 1600 on the SAT in 1983, but not realizing how great he'd done until the 2020s.

We’ve got a neighbor who is a vet tech at a cat place. My wife was asking her about it and she said something like, “I’m just happy not to be working with dogs anymore, to be honest.”

After some prodding and assurances from my wife that she was in a safe space, she admitted that it was the pitbulls. She says you wouldn’t believe how many of them bite kids and get dropped off. One of the vets she used to work for was mauled by one and one side of her body is covered in scars.

“I know that people say it’s not the dogs, it’s the owners, but it’s the dogs.”

@NigBaby69 @SStricklandMMA This is well above average for a professional fighter. Strickland is a classic smart dumb guy.

@RokoMijic @jbrukh Privacy coins like XMR have some utility (although a fair amount of it is for facilitating criminality). But NFTs and memecoins seem to be broadly negative-sum.

@aresteanu @FischerKing64 Weak sense of identity. Could indicate personality disorder.

@Stepping_Razor_ Yes hello.

@journoBrahh Planning to buck the trend of poorly considered tattoos by getting one of my face on my face slightly larger than my face.

@zynaristoles @109evictions Kirkland Beer is underrated. We need a Kirkland brand White Claw knockoff.

Reminder: The author of the 14th amendment’s citizenship clause literally said aliens should not become citizens just because they were born on the soil of America before it was voted on.

The retatrutide must be inducing anhedonia if even the prospect of autofellatio no longer inspires me.

@blockhead4000 Cutting off your hands would be a very metal way of limiting your iphone use.

What your VO2 max actually looks like:

<15 ml/kg/min → Daily function and movement are limited. Difficulties getting dressed, standing up, and walking without assistance.

15–25 → Very limited fitness. Stairs are difficult, running is nearly impossible.

26–35 → Out of shape territory. You get winded carrying groceries or climbing stairs. Short jogs feel brutal.

36–45 → Functional, but still below true fitness. You can exercise, but endurance is limited. Cooper Test: ~2300m.

46–55 → Fit and healthy. Good energy, decent endurance, and fitness. Cooper Test: ~2700m.

56–65 → Extremely fit. The fittest person in a normal friend group. Running feels easy. Cooper Test: ~3200m.

66–75 → Elite amateur athlete territory. Most people can’t keep up with you. Fast recovery.

76+ → World-class athlete physiology. Most people can't comprehend your endurance. You can run laps around 99% of people.

@blockhead4000 You're supposed to listen for what reverberates back through the aether.

With some historical distance (maybe 100 years plus), it will be conventional wisdom that the 2000s-10s "climate mania" politically delayed the provision of core environmental goods such as wildlife conservation, new parks, and transit, by sucking up all the oxygen.

Hi. Professional C/C++ programmer here. The open-source code I can find written by Adam Back and Satoshi Nakamoto don't look remotely similar.

Back's code looks typical of academic Unix programmers who also hack their code to run on Windows.

Satoshi code was written by a professional Windows programmer who also wrote for Unix.

Stylistically, they look nothing alike. There's not enough time between 2005 when I can find the newest Adam Back and January 2009 when Satoshi published Bitcoin/0.1 to account for the change. Both are perfectly competent programmers, but stylistically, they are completely different.

The NYTimes tried to compare their English language in posts/emails. I'm compare their C/C++ language in their open-source code. The NYTimes merely points out they both use C++ as if that's another corroborating detail, when the actual code seems to disqualify Adam Back.

@rambling_28 There is so much about Japanese culture which baffles me.

You guys are cool though, even if I'll never understand you.
