Perhaps less AI in Mozilla?

If you already have a raspberry pi, there are some neat $20-$30 gadgets

• powered USB hub

Whoa

The idea is that nothing in this version matters, the whole point is to secretly approximate the shapes of the original loss comic

My memory is pretty hazy but the cheat application emulated the process that teachers used to do a system reset.

Iirc, it let you press menu, select reset, confirm, and showed the (fake) confirmation screen.

Also IIRC, you had to install it from Mirage OS, which I don't think was an OS (?) but rather an app that everyone had to play games from.

I remember touch

They did that here too, but students would use a cheat program that made it look like teachers were resetting it, but really the memory was safe

Girl so hot, hot hot girl, ...

What more can I say

Screen is great! My favorite though is byobu, a pretty screen

Yes, I do have a science background, which is why I love thinking about how a cup of water is full of molecules :)

Speaking only for myself, I understand that 'water' might not be a countable noun, but that doesn't make the underlying thing we call "water" uncountable as a real, tangible thing, and that was what I was trying to convey.

It seems like people might reasonably disagree about whether something is physically countable or not, but it was deeper than linguistics for me.

You might appreciate this: although a lot of scientists don't like people calling insects "bugs," I love how so many languages have a word for "small creepy-crawly animal" and I highly endorse the popular usage of bugs to include spiders, roly-polies, insects, etc. For this, I don't get why some biologists insist on applying the specialist description of living things to the semantic (?) grouping. Maybe you would put 'countable' in that category too. But to me, the idea that water is molecules makes it countable at a deep level, regardless of how our language talks about it.

I'm going to look up and learn more about countable/mass nouns now -- sorry to start out as part of that annoying group. Thanks for the thread :)

It looks like we are not going to agree on what makes something countable, but I did appreciate the exchange.

Mathematicians talk about "countable infinity" and "uncountable infinity". The integers are countable, 1, 2, 3, ... forever. There is no way to count them all. But they can be counted.

Compare that to uncountable infinity: there are more Real Numbers in the uncountable infinity of fractions between 0 and 1 than in the entire countable infinity of the integers! Because they are not discrete like the integers. Discrete is not the right word. I'm not a mathematician. They're not countable.

In both of these cases, no human can count them all. But the countable infinity can be counted. Just like the water in the ocean, or the sand on the beach. God could count them, for instance.

In the end, we're using the word countable differently. We might have different worldviews about the nature of water and its importance. I'm ok with that :)
