Japanese one made no sense to me until I finally saw the “sale sale/sasa lele” version. セール　セール。 But then it’s a meme so it has to be misspelled? 🤷‍♂️
tHERE ARE MEMES IN THOSE HIEROGLYPHICS
Ohhhhhhh…. Chinese and greek are my favourite, but there is more!
𖤐 WHAT ARE THE MEMES IN THE HEIROGLYPHS??? I MUST KNOW 𖤐

A fun thing about computer skills is that as you have more of them, the number of computer problems you have doesn’t go down.
This is because as a beginner, you have troubles because you don’t have much knowledge.
But then you learn a bunch more, and now you’ve got the skills to do a bunch of stuff, so you run into a lot of problems because you’re doing so much stuff, and only an expert could figure them out.
But then one day you are an expert. You can reprogram everything and build new hardware! You understand all the various layers of tech!
And your problems are now legendary. You are trying things no one else has ever tried. You Google them and get zero results, or at best one forum post from 1997. You discover bugs in the silicon of obscure processors. You crash your compiler. Your software gets cited in academic papers because you accidently discovered a new mathematical proof while trying to remote control a vibrator. You can’t use the wifi on your main laptop because you wrote your own uefi implementation and Intel has a bug in their firmware that they haven’t fixed yet, no matter how much you email them. You post on mastodon about your technical issue and the most common replies are names of psychiatric medications. You have written your own OS but there arent many programs for it because no one else understands how they have to write apps as a small federation of coroutine-based microservices. You ask for help and get Pagliacci’d, constantly.
But this is the natural of computer skills: as you know more, your problems don’t get easier, they just get weirder.
you know you’ve made it when you’re googling problems and ending up with 0-9 results
#you don’t actually have to be good to have these problems #you just have to be obsessed with a micro-issue that no one else cares about
Oh sweet heaven the truth in this. :/

Anonymous asked:

I recall at least one of you guys having worked with livestock animals. Why are cows so damn indestructible while horses keel over and die if mercury is in retrograde or a dog barked in Kazakhstan?

ask-a-vetblr answered:

gettingvetted here.

Let me tell you a story about how livestock animals work.

In the beginning, God created the horse. God looked at the horse and saw that it was beautiful and strong. “However,” God said, “it breaks too easily.”

Then God created the cow. God looked at the cow and saw that it was more durable than the horse, and tasted good to boot. “However,” God said, “it poops too much.”

Then God created the goat. God looked at the goat and saw that it was perfect.

God looked around and saw that he still had some spare bits of fluff on his work table, but no brains to put into it. So then God created the sheep.

Now let me tell you what my equine surgery professor said on the first day of class.

“Horses are only interested in two things: homicide, and suicide.”

And that’s all you need to know about horses.

My entirely half-assed understanding of Why Horses Explode If You Look At Them Funny, As Explained To Me By My Aunt That Raises Horses After Her Third Glass Of Wine:
Horses don’t got enough toes.
So, back right after the dinosaurs fucked off and joined the choir invisible, the first ancestors of horses were scampering about, little capybara-looking things called Eohippus, and they had four toes per limb:
They functioned pretty well, as near as we can tell from the fossil record, but they were mostly messing around in the leaf litter of dense forests, where one does not necessarily need to be fast but one should be nimble, and the 4 toes per limb worked out pretty good.
But the descendants of Eophippus moved out of the forest where there was lots of cover and onto the open plains, where there was better forage and visibility, but nowhere to hide, so the proto-horses that could ZOOM the fastest and out run thier predators (or, at least, their other herd members) tended to do well. Here’s the thing- having lots of toes means your foot touches the ground longer when you run, and it spreads a lot of your momentum to the sides. Great if you want to pivot and dodge, terrible if you want to ZOOM. So losing toes started being a major advantage for proto-horses:
The Problem with having fewer toes and running Really Fucking Fast is that it kind of fucks your everything else up.
When a horse runs at full gallop, it sort of… stops actively breathing, letting the slosh of it’s guts move its lungs, which is tremendously calorically efficient and means their breathing doesn’t fall out of sync. But it also means that the abdominal lining of a horse is weirdly flexible in ways that lead to way more hernias and intestinal tangling than other ungulates. It also has a relatively weak diaphragm for something it’s size, so ANY kind of respiratory infection is a Major Fucking Problem because the horse has weak lungs.
When a Horse runs Real Fucking Fast, it also develops a bit of a fluid dynamics problem- most mammals have the blood going out of thier heart real fast and coming back from the far reaches of the toes much slower and it’s structure reflects that. But since there is Only The One Toe, horse blood comes flying back up the veins toward the heart way the fuck faster than veins are meant to handle, which means horses had to evolve special veins that constrict to slow the Blood Down, which you will recognize as a Major Cardiovascular Disease in most mammals. This Poorly-regulated blood speed problems means horses are prone to heart problems, burst veins, embolisms, and hemophilia. Also they have apparently a billion blood types and I’m not sure how that’s related but I am sure that’s another Hot Mess they have to deal with.
ALSO, the Blood-Going-Too-Fast issue and being Just Huge Motherfuckers means horses have trouble distributing oxygen properly, and have compensated by creating fucked up bones that replicate the way birds store air in thier bones but much, much shittier. So if a horse breaks it’s leg, not only is it suffering a Major Structural Issue (also also- breaking a toe is much more serious when that toe is YOUR WHOLE DAMN FOOT AND HALF YOUR LEG), it’s also hving a hemmorhage and might be sort of suffocating a little.
ALSO ALSO, the fast that horses had to deal with Extremely Fast Predators for most of thier evolution means that they are now afflicted with evolutionarily-adaptive Anxiety, which is not great for thier already barely-functioning hearts, and makes them, frankly, fucking mental. Part of the reason horses are so aggro is that if deinied the opportunity to ZOOM, it’s options left are “Kill everyone and Then Yourself” or “The same but skip step one and Just Fucking Die”. The other reason is that a horse is in a race against itself- it’s gotta breed before it falls apart, so a Horse basically has a permanent terrorboner.
TL;DR: Horses don’t have enough toes and that makes them very, very fast, but also sickly, structurally unsound, have wildly OP blood that sometimes kills them, and drives them fucking insane.

this gets so much funnier when you consider that people literally just live on mount everest, there’s a perfect parallel between random europeans “discovering” a mountain that people already live on and medical professionals suddenly discovering autism despite people having it going back god knows how long

mygreendandelion asked:

what's In'nan like?

transprincecaspian answered:

I’m so glad my divorcecore divorce posting is resonating with everyone

In’nan is a wretched mirror, he’s babygirl, he’s a soldier;

he talks to spirits but doesn’t trust them; and the ones he trust he doesn’t love; and the ones he loves, he—

He cares so much about so little, he doesn’t give a shit about your Inquisition or your Chantry, but he loves religion and he’s a spiritual man: someone has to be held accountable at End of All Things

he stands for mage rights and the restoration of the elves and he will use any power given to him to get his way; “herald” “inquisitor” “the bastard I have to answer to”

he’s ambitious, he’s headstrong, he’s not a mage but he’s connected to the Fade; he swears that he’s met ancestors, spirits of Valor and Strength and Compassion

his name is In’nan but that name is a lie—what mother names her son vengeance—his real name lies nestled between his teeth, somewhere he can break it brittle or it has to be pulled out achingly

his sword is an extension of himself, all sharpened edges and a bastard blade; damned be the peacekeepers, the stiflers of the just

he thinks he has solas all figured out. he is wrong

the uncommon allergy haver to anticapitalist pipeline
in January 2023, companies became required to label sesame on all products it was present in, and undergo rigorous cleaning procedures to prevent sesame contamination, after it was declared the 9th “major” food allergen in the United States.
so, instead of considering this a mandate to give a single shit about people with sesame allergies, almost all American companies decided to just add sesame flour to all their relevant products. because apparently that was cheaper.
it’s almost impossible for me to find hot dog and hamburger buns without sesame now. and I am one of the lucky ones. I’m someone who just so happened to notice the label updates, not get caught unawares and have a severe allergic reaction. I’m someone lucky enough to be surrounded by multiple choices of supermarkets, and someone with the incredible privilege to have parents who’ll help me search the shelves, and cover those costs that my allergies rack up. not everyone with allergies/other intolerances has all or any of those privileges to begin with.
most food allergies will never be prevalent enough that under capitalism, it will be profitable to give them the level of accommodation that they deserve. I speak from experience with a wide portfolio of hypersensitivity quirks when I say that the rarer the food allergy, the worse it gets.
and here’s the thing: I can live without hamburger buns, with only superficial decreases in my quality of life. but sesame isn’t my only rare allergy, and ever since this legislation hit, I’ve been lying awake at night, afraid of what I might lose access to next.
I’ve been lying awake at night wondering what I’ll have to do to live, to obtain enough safe food to survive, if any of my other allergies get this same treatment. and I reiterate. I am one of the privlidged ones.
what these companies have done is completely legal. what these companies did has also cut off up to over a million people from what were previously safe, affordable staples of their diets. a system that has any incentive not to accommodate the dietary needs of any population is not a system that can be allowed to exist. this is the uncommon allergy haver to angry, fuming anticapitalist pipeline.
[Image description: two screenshots of tumblr tags, reading:
“also pea protein. mcdicks just added pea protein without any proper warning so if you got a legume allergy, don’t eat their buns.”
“did you know pea protein and pea flour is a thing. i didn’t. but i sure found out quick after i ate frozen nuggets and when i got gravy from a restaurant. now i have to check fucking everything because i’ve also found pea protein in ice cream of all things.” End description.]
thank you @butchwelddone and @insidejupiter respectively for these psas. signal boosting here for all my fellow legume-allergic folks, stay safe (and stay away from McDonalds buns)
My dad has a cow milk allergy, my sibling has a coconut allergy, one of our close friends is allergic to most spices, wheat, and soy. If we’re lucky, we can find a product that any two of them can eat. Almost anything that calls itself “allergy free” is loaded with coconut.
Also! Fifteen years or so ago, all the whipped toppings went from being dairy free to advertising how they were “made with real cream!” Not to mention various other foods that followed the trend, and really screwed everyone over for having cow’s milk and whatever original milk alternative they used to cut costs both in everything.
So, yeah. For-profit food my belothed.
USAmerican corn-allergy-haver here l love you all and I think we should burn it all down.
By the way the practical [miserable] advice is to cook most things from scratch for yourself and to eat out rarely and only at restaurants you’ve completely vetted.
The advice that fucking nobody ever tells you about and that is why I literally went back to school to get a degree in nutrition is
If you suffer from a food allergy that cuts you off from bread and cereal products in the US you probably need to supplement your diet with vitamins because the primary source of folate in the American diet is fortified cereals and a severe folate deficiency is basically a form of anemia.
You can supplement this with vitamins but :) if you have :) grain allergies :) make sure :) that your allergens :) aren’t used :) as fillers in :) the vitamins :) :) :) :)
Either you can take folate/folic acid on its own or you can take half a daily prenatal vitamin to meet the RDA for folate.
I have wheat, corn, and sesame allergies. I eat out about once a month and have to bring my own food to weddings, conferences, and anything else that will take me away from my own kitchen. I don’t go to theme parks because there’s nothing I can eat there. Backpacking and camping are difficult because pre-made camping foods contain my allergens and it’s hard to carry foods that I know I can eat. If I go out to eat with friends no I don’t I go out to have a cup of coffee - oh, is artificial creamer all you’ve got? nah it’s got cornstarch in it, that’s fine, I’ll just drink it black that’s okay oh wait all you’ve got is decaf that’s fine I’ll just have water OH you are using eco-friendly corn plastic cups well that’s okay I am at least here being with people I’ll eat when I get home. I am not on at least three medications my doctor recommended because corn is part of the product and I can’t afford to have the meds made at a compounding pharmacy. Corn is in all of these things because it is RIDICULOUSLY cheap which is at least partially as a result of subsidies and is also at least partially as a result of the scaling economics of monocrops for agribusiness.
It is ten dollars cheaper to get 21 ounces more mac and cheese *shipped from canada* than it is to buy one of the pre-made foods that I can actually eat.
You may say “oh, well that’s because that’s the weenie organic brand that uses artisinal cheddar, of course it’s more expensive than kraft” and I would have to say:
THE WEENIE ORGANIC BRAND ALSO DOESN’T PUT FUCKING CORN IN EVERYTHING.
Anyway. This has done extremely normal things to my ability to feed myself, maintain my health, and socialize as well as my desire to do arson.
