Hit a new low weight on my diet crossing another double digit mark. Its only a few fractions of a pound below my last low, but still nice to see the double digits roll down.

I cant help but feel my progress is a bit too slow though. Ive lost about 16 lbs in 2 months and i feel the pacing could be much greater.

My canned response anyytime someone corrects my spelling (which usually is out of a lack of care rather than not knowing):

" your rite, Eye fixered its four ya."

Woman: I am into style and fashion

Me: Yea me too!

Woman: Oh cool, whats your favorite style?

Me: I'm really into those small bikinis where the woman's boobies poke out from the under side of the bikini.... Man I just love fashion!

Woman: ::blank stare::

Honestly, Rowling clearly had some unhealthy daddy issues when you ready the books more closely. Makes a lot of sense given her personality.

> the standard way

it isn't; 8.x is pushing kotlin :blobcatupsidedown:

nostr:npub1f8e6w3kg6cptk4ljl09ua3vezr7gws4jcuwyvzdnpytsnlp2yd6savzu5u

Cant help with that, if i try running kotlin i get totally different errors, so clearly kotlin isnt ready for prime time.

nostr:npub1f8e6w3kg6cptk4ljl09ua3vezr7gws4jcuwyvzdnpytsnlp2yd6savzu5u I assume you mean the template in the intro (there is more than one)... ok let me try here locally.

nostr:npub1f8e6w3kg6cptk4ljl09ua3vezr7gws4jcuwyvzdnpytsnlp2yd6savzu5u Hold on, those errors mean nothing to me if i dont know what you did from the docs that got you those errors... like whats the exact command your running and what does your gradle file look like?

nostr:npub1f8e6w3kg6cptk4ljl09ua3vezr7gws4jcuwyvzdnpytsnlp2yd6savzu5u I actually havent worked with gradle in a few years. I usually use maven myself. Whats broken, I can try to help.

Well its a hard thing to test experimentally.

But the reason here is just energy, gravitational waves have energy, so they must have their own gravitational field.

Interesting fact of the day: A gravitational wave, having energy, also generates its own gravitational field in addition to itself. Though this field is insanely weak.

Note this is not the same as saying a gravitational field has its own gravitational field. It is only the wave that has energy, and thus its own field. A gravitational wave only occurs when an object with a gravitational field accelerates (and orbiting another object counts as acceleration).

Depends on the person. No doubt this does explain some of them. But it is hardly the majority.

Take myself as a prime counter example. I worked as a COVID-19 research scientist. I beleive that if you dont take the vaccine you are a complete and utter moron. Regardless I am against mandatory vaccines. Most people ont he left screamed anti-vaxxer at me, when clearly i was pro-vaccine, they just refused to hear any nuance in my stance.

This is what the left routinely does, what you just did. Pretend like you hear an argument which isnt the argument being made (or made by a small minority) and then turnt he toxicity up to 11. The truth is most people who were against mandatory vaccines and labled an anti-vaxxer weren't even against vaccines, at all. You magnify the 1% most idiotic of the other argument and then pretend like its the majority. Worst yet, its a lie repeated so often people believe it.

We could save a lot of money if we killed fewer people, just saying.

Just FYI apparently #Universeodon has switched to the incredibly abusive and poorly maintained oliphant block list that is itself dictated, in part, of mastodon.art's abusive block list.

See my response here: https://mastodon.acm.org/@freemo/111908751487276074

As well as the Admin admitting this is the case here: https://mastodon.acm.org/@wild1145@universeodon.com/111889411895912635

very disappointed in their lack of due diligence.

While I know there are plenty of examples of land, particularly historically, being bought and sold to other countries. Like Alaska was bought from Russia, the US Virgin Islands from the Dutch, etc. But is there any examples, particularly in semi-modern history, of an **individual** buying sovereignty over a piece of land from another nation? I mean why should the country care who they sell to as long as they get the money.

I figure the hard part would be defending the land as a single owner. Of course in practice im not sure countries sell land all to often these days.

I just got a very random inkling to want to build a row boat... made out of pure salt.
