The paper about the airburst set off an Akira-like nuclear fireball of controversy. Lots of methodological issues, potential image manipulation (!) and some of the authors have a rather suspicious obsession with biblical literalism. https://retractionwatch.com/2021/10/01/criticism-engulfs-paper-claiming-an-asteroid-destroyed-biblical-sodom-and-gomorrah/#more-123196

I really want to know the etymology of the phrase “round robin” for turn-taking.

Are robins notoriously fair and polite birds? Is it just because they are spherical shaped?

I need answers!

And yes, it just means `snap` simply isn't a good packaging tool for system/developer software. In which case I'd like its maintainers to recognize this fact and answer questions accordingly instead of trying to educate people about "design". And don't install dev tools via snap by default. Thankfully, `apt` is still here and works.

Select quote: "Unsupported [..] access to arbitrary files on the system due to developer/user inertia".

I'm not even talking about the whole tone of "it's not our fault, it's lazy developers'"… No, I'm in disbelief about the whole idea that "access to arbitrary files on the system" is declared a universal problem. Sure, it's a working model for a mobile apps of unknown origin used by non-technical people. But here we're talking about `jq`, a developer tool on a general-purpose computer.

The thread where a snap packager condescendingly talks about "good" and "bad" design while not recognizing that packaging the app in a way that requires a workaround to even use it in a most straightforward way renders all his points moot. Nobody cares about design if the app doesn't work. (Oh, but it works for *him*, so it's fine.)

RT @Vextaur I'm always happy to let people draw my OCs. New artists or new to drawing that type of character? Knock yourself out.
Worried that I'll hate it because you're not real good? Hey, I got what I paid for, I'm not going to complain. I may privately offer what I hope is constructive criticism, but publicly I'll just say thanks.
Draw my character doing something they wouldn't? No problem, it's non-canon
