Mine got better as I got older. Especially after some experiments with psychedelics. I didn’t think I was able to imagine a 3D object in detail, and for most of my life I wasn’t. But then I had a shroom trip in which I was able to freely rotate an imagined 3D object. Even render an object in my mind based solely on touch.
Afterwards I went back almost to normal, but not completely. It’s like I learned to use some previously inactive part of the brain.
Not hands. Tongue
Feeling empathy for a person who was an asshole. Crying because of the misfortune that led them to behaving like that, all the while completely disapproving and ready to fight against it. Mdma is wild
You took a photo of a wall, but there’s a little bit of grass showing in the corner. Off with your head!
Imo, it’s the human condition. Everyone is good at some things, average at most, bad at others.
Occasionally it happens that sone kids are great at academic achievement and they get labeled as “gifed” because that’s what’s superficially celebrated in our culture. I say superficially because after school it doesn’t matter much
Often I wish I was attracted to men. Gay guys seem to find me attractive, unlike (both straight and gay) women
I almost forgot about ASOIAF completely. I still remember when A Feast for Crows came out after a couple of years of waiting, and how eager I was to read it. And A Dance with Dragons was generally an unenjoyable mess for me, feels like a forced afterthought.
It’s been almost 20 years, time to give up GRRM. I’m sure you have a couple more unrealized ideas that took a backseat while you finished it.
Sounds like being provocative just for the sake of being provocative. Kinda makes sense, opera is far from popular as an art form. They have to make themselves known to the public somehow.
There’s a balance to be made between the flow of people and the seating capacity of trains.
Single level with many doors will load/unload quickly, however there’s barely any seating.
Two level maximizes seating at the expense of dwell times.
Nobody made a two level train with a focus on standing yet, so we don’t have a real world example. If it’s even possible because you need more headroom than usually available on double deckers
That said there are metro-like systems with double deckers. Paris and Sydney have already been mentioned. True, they are usually classified as suburban systems, but are very much used for city trips as well.
There’s probably some link between human genetics and psychology. It makes sense knowing how other mammals work. However the studies are overwhelmingly so flawed and irreproducible that the entire field can be dismissed
Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews… Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there’s the spiced and coated varieties
Same thing with nuts and melons.
This is so common that I wonder if it’s the scientists that are wrong. They used the word to describe something different than what’s usually called a berry.
It also lets you joke with Sardinians that their ancestors once destroyed civilization
That’s their idea, pray for rain? How far they have fallen. Old Slavs knew that only human sacrifice helps bring rain
All the time. Depending on the app and device, my spell checker might be set to American English, British English or Spanish. And I never check which before I start writing.
One quirk of not being a native speaker of English is that I don’t really have a default spelling - colour or color, it depends on what the spellchecker says
Alpine for example uses musl, and Gentoo offers it as an option.
I don’t completely understand the benefits, my own programming experience is several layers away from inner workings of an OS, but at least some distros claim there is space for improvement.
Oh I wish I had your perception of time
The role of a distribution is to curate packages - select the right combination of versions and verify if it works together. Providing package repositories is also a big one, imagine if you had to compile everything on your machine yourself on every update (khm gentoo khm).
Other than that there isn’t really a lot of space for innovation. After you have a kernel, some base packages, package manager, and maybe a DE, you can install everything else yourself.
The main point of differentiation these days in on the package management side - do you want a rolling release, or a more conservative approach.
There is one point of innovation left, but it highly technical and somewhat risky for everyday users - libc alternatives. The C standard library is one of the few core packages in a distro that can’t really be replaced by the user.
The least shitty thing you can get from Shein
TIL Winamp was still active as a project
