Thankfully I can distinguish between communism, authoritarianism, progressivism, and conservatism. But, for some reason, the former-GDR lands consistently align with conservative policies.

Before sports it was apparently theatre slang.

Yeah, slang typically originates from expressions that are in everyday use among significant subcultural population. ‘Washed up’ could’ve been related to the sea if it were coined in the mid-nineteenth century at the latest, when seaside occupations were still dominant in the economy, especially in the UK. But it’s too far-fetched for the twentieth century, when urban life became more important.

I realized just now that I didn’t know how an anteater’s mug works, and, well…

Ah, interesting. I’ve heard the opposite about one of their neighbours, perhaps Germany.

Found treasures are likely property of the state, possibly with some small share awarded to the finder.

Is that the cuck album.

Etymonline says that ‘washed-up’ is from theatre slang.

Well, it’s obvious from your condescending and insulting tone that you’re completely right and I’m completely wrong, so there’s no use pretending that it would be in any way valuable for me to present an ‘explanation’.

‘Funes’ was apparently inspired by Solomon Shereshevsky, who was ‘active in 1920s’, whatever exactly that means. The article on mnemonists lists a couple more living around that time, but nobody earlier.

List of people claimed to possess an eidetic memory has two or three people born around 1860-'70, and among earlier murky claims a notable outlier Leonhard Euler:

He was able to, for example, repeat the Aeneid of Virgil from beginning to end without hesitation, and for every page in the edition he could indicate which line was the first and which was the last even decades after having read it.

The article on ‘memory sport’ says: “Techniques for training memory are discussed as far back as ancient Greece, and formal memory training was long considered an important part of basic education known as the art of memory” and cites ‘Secrets of a Mind-Gamer’ from NYT — but this is of course different from natural eidetic memory. ‘Art of memory’ also discusses techniques from the ancient times.

I mean, I still consider this page cool. It seems to have originated in 2016, and IMO it’s not quite the 90s ‘dancing baby’ design or Myspace, but instead has a definite whiff of Tumblr art circa early-mid 2010s. I liked psychedelic-ish Tumblr art, it gave a whimsical perspective on life.

Right? The article even says that the cone thing has been going on since the eighties, but apparently the council still hasn’t learned.

May I inquire as to which oil you mean — canola? As the staple oil varies by region, so I can’t be sure which one it is for you.

Dotlink — just someone’s personal page with a peculiar design.

It seems to be partly inspired by r/Ooer (you need to have custom subreddit css allowed on this link, or open it in an incognito tab).

This circus will be a part of Why veterans hate ICE.

One would think that the former GDR would be doing this instead.

Just FYI, if you just use Firefox in both OSes, you can sync the tabs, history, and extension settings. Though I’ve seen the opinion that Safari works faster, but OTOH extension developers are unhappy with Apple’s publishing/vetting process, and some devs dropped support for Safari that they provided previously.

I wonder if iOS and watchOS being macOS in miniature means that the terminal can be used on them natively, like on Android.

those little pop ups for the space and g menus

Emacs has this with the Hydra plugin, iirc. Particularly, Doom Emacs already has this feature packaged.

Zsh probably can’t do that, because zsh is involved with typing commands, not handling their output. You should look into the docs and settings for your terminal emulator — some of them do support selecting output with the keyboard. Alternatively, something like tmux might be able to handle that too.
