I'd argue that people killing themselves in stupid ways is the traditional way to create new technology.

I don't understand. I just see a rust developer. What is the joke?

Once upon a time I was installing Linux on a tiny little laptop, whose brand name I've forgotten. It was probably a Lenovo. Anyway, it was extremely difficult to install anything on it, and they went to great lengths to make sure no one would be able to install Linux on it. I spent an entire day messing around with the grub terminal, and began to suspect that it had a built-in cut off for the USB port during boot. I think I saw some log output to that effect, but I couldn't find any way to disable it. After some thought, I got back in grub, unplugged the USB stick that I was installing Linux from, and plugged it back in. The laptop detected and mounted the external drive and I tried to install again.

Worked perfectly.

Not how I wanted to see Trump at The Hague, honestly.

Trump as Oedipus, immigrants as his father, and the abstract concept of freedom as his mother.

Immigrants and freedom made Trump possible, and managed to avoid him for a bit. Then he comes back, kills immigrants and fucks freedom, at which point, lady liberty kills herself.

Where is Ben Garrison when you need him.

Holy shit, me too. Yeah, I probably should have put and asterisk next to that.

I have very rarely had a bad outcome from speaking honestly and straightforwardly to people that I care about.

I recently wrote a little library that adds some neat little features to enums in Rust. It's tiny, does one thing, and does it pretty well, I think.

One of my favorite actresses. She's exceptional in everything.

The diagnostic criteria and the culture that determines that criteria are both subject to change. lots of things that people consider perfectly normal now would be classified as a disease or disorder in the past.

I can't think of an incident like this off-hamd for myself, but I once dated a woman who didn't know that women have a urethra. She thought the urine just came out of her vagina. She was ~23.

We have reached the limits of what I know on the subject. So, no idea. If forced to make an uneducated guess, I'd say it was probably some combination of environmental factors, a preexisting culture that fit particularly well with horses, and natural variation in adoption of new tech among different groups of people.
