Might I interest you in a podcast?

This thread led me down a bit of a rabbit hole, so I suppose I’ll post some of my meager findings.

Of course, the Wikipedia Article On The Guillotine includes a brief history documenting the evolution of it’s invention, but is sparse on the technical specifications, which online searches also turned up a bit sparse.

I did eventually land on this technical schematic PDF of the Guillotine from archive.org.

Somewhat amusing to find, you can also pay for the blueprints to creating a historically accurate replica guillotine here.

As a morbid aside, the Wikipedia article details under the Controversy Section the dispute as to whether a decapitated head remained alive shortly after the beheading and the eye witness account of someone witnessing the staring of a decapitated man’s eyes after calling out his name multiple times. The description is deliciously macabre.

Don’t think this really answered your question OP, but nevertheless, this was intriguing for me to look into, so thanks for sparking my curiosity with your post!

EDIT: Fixing various small typos.

I use zsh, but my old Bash prompt looks almost the same as my Zsh prompt. Sorry, no screenshot, but here’s the code:

export PS1='\[\033[01;34m\][\[\033[01;37m\] \W\[\033[01;34m\]]\$\033[01;34m\] $(git branch 2>/dev/null | grep '^*' | colrm 1 2)\n\033[01;34m└─>\033[37m '

The server sending over the plugin that can read MathML code is possibly down. Perhaps try again later?

Accumulating money doesn’t count as character building nor living. Spend money wisely, but do spend it. Wisely is subjective, but see above for what I think that means in this context. Good luck.

Edit: wording.

The meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life.

I knew dudemanguy would eventually make a post like this. I use the distro(Artix Linux) he’s a maintainer on Artix, and he’s a solid dude that is always willing to help and gives solid help.

I have both riverwm and bspwm along with Wayland and X on my system and honestly have stuck on X because getting my workflow exactly the same on Wayland has been a technical hurdle of learning Zig (riverwm is written in Zig), and so far, with the exception of the occasional race condition, X just works.

I want to convert to Wayland, and will probably get around to making my own custom scripts in zig for working with riverwm. But until then, X/bspwm is where I live.

This, and take physical notes, or at least make notes in something you can refer to on a screen that is not your phone, ideally another desktop or a laptop computer with internet access in case something unexpected comes up during the physical install and you need to search the archwiki or the wider internet.

And then the US said to Germany, “We too, can do Auschwitz.”

Fuck Donald Trump and MAGA. I want a vasectomy and will get one when I choose to. My body, my choice. ✊

Well its been a while, but it looks like proxygram no longer works. Guess stick with imginn.

Its not perfect, but you can anonymously browse Instagram using imginn.

There is also proxygram, which is similar to imginn, but if you don’t want to set up your own instance, you can use others via the Libredirect extension.

UCLA Climate scientist, Daniel Swain talks about this exact topic during his recent interview with Adam Connover on his podcast, Factually.

Go to timestamp 17:45 and you’ll hear Swain talk specifically about how this was a unique firestorm.

Earlier in the interview (around the 12:00 minute mark) Swain points out that it has to do with the increasingly longer periods in between wet and dry periods that are occurring that contributed so heavily to the conditions for a fire of this magnitude becoming more likely to occur, especially when particularly strong Santa Ana Winds occurring this year.

Edit: Name spelling.

Most applications can do just fine with SQLite, but if you need something with a lot more write speed, go with PostgreSQL.

Lol. Raunchy and hilarious concept, as per usual for Oglaf.

God this tweet makes me mad on so many levels. Anyone who has spent any meaningful amount of time in the command line knows this tweet is such bullshit.

EDIT: Further venting of frustrations.

Its a command line multimedia player. It’s implementation is ideal for minimalists, and easily understood by reading the man pages.

It works very well imo.

Meh, I’ll just stick with mpv.
