thought it would be funny to watch some Roadrunner cartoons on acid but ten seconds in we're all silent out front of the tv, awed by the desolate beauty of these desert landscapes and struck by the emptiness of the world. should these two lone living souls not seek solace in one another

Does anyone know if it's possible to set a negative timestamp in a

commit? Have an idea for a project showing how a document has changed over time but the first version is from 1937 (Bonus points if that's enough information for you to guess the document)

IDIOT DOOM SPIRAL - Word on the street is you went around the local hostel telling people that you're a police officer and that it would be *really* fucked up if you shot yourself in the head right in front of them. That's pretty high concept, if you ask me.

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

And when they do row back on it it’s still going to be incredibly disappointing watching people flock back to them. They’ve shown who they are, but will people believe them?

I love an Irish General election. You can keep Jake Tapper striding through a VR map like a Colossus. I don't want Wolf Blitzer using a touchscreen to show voter turnout. Give me a frazzled RTE reporter coming live from a playschool in Offaly watching votes being added with a pencil for two weeks.

How does the new iOS inactivity reboot work? What does it protect from? I reverse engineered the kernel extension and the secure enclave processor, where this feature is implemented.

thinks ahead of

: Does the "Ireland is full" crowd think the famine was a good thing? They say the country is full when there's about 7.1 million on the entire island. Still less than before the famine

Finding out that Lake Superior "Never gives up its dead" because it's so cold that the colonies of bacteria that decompose corpses can't survive in it so those bodies never fill up with gas and surface, all because I looked up the lyrics of a 1976 folk song, is what the internet should be more like.
