This is a cool little poll some anthropologists did, in which they asked 65 mammalian biologists–by which I mean biologists who study mammals, not biologists who ARE mammals.

I also apologize in advance for the lack of metric units in this video. Yes, imperial units are ridiculous, but we're talking about America here so get prepared for feet, gallons and diet coke hamburgers per bald eagle.

I think programmers have become inured to incidental complexity… when they encounter complexity, they consider it a challenge to overcome, rather than an obstacle to remove. Overcoming complexity isn’t work, it’s waste.

Nick: “She's like: ‘yeah, I know, he's your problem now.’”

Das Einzige, was ich mir wünsche: Keine Leuchtturmprojekte. […] [Der] Anwendungsfall des Leuchtturms ist, möglichst auf große Distanz zu sagen „hier nich' hin! Hier nich' hin!“. Das ist die in Stein gegossene Aussage eines Leuchtturms. „Bitte weiträumig meiden! Gefahr!“ Und die sagen halt: „Wir machen ein digitales Leuchtturmprojekt“ und dann wundern die sich, dass alle drum 'rum fahren.

Minimalism is a scam invented by Big Small to sell more less.

Advertising is the graffiti of the rich.

So hopefully, you know have a better idea of what everyone is doing once these battles get going:

Pikemen will be jabbing away at each other trying to convinve the generals that they are actually fighting. Musketeers will be lined, blasting away at each other until they are out of ammo, whereupon they will start hitting each other over the head with their guns, the royalist cavalry will be charging into the parlamentary cavalry and then the parlamentary cavalry will be riding off in disarray and the dragoons will be trying to convince their officers to let us stay on our horses please.

The artillery is stuck in a bog.

Give me the microplastics! They belong in the ocean!

REALLY NOT FEELIN UP TO IT RIGHT NOW. SORRY.
