Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!

This film was amazing. I love Joe Gilgun. Never finished the sequel TV show, should probably go and do that!

I read somewhere that this phenomenon is so unlikely that if we ever need to represent our planet in an intergalactic context, the solar eclipse would be a good candidate for a symbol to put on a flag [citation needed]

Thanks for the detailed explanation, makes a lot of sense! I guess what I did was set up a UEFI entry that specifies the location of the Linux kernel without any intermediate bootloader. Pretty sure I didn't set the fallback, so I'm guessing that's still owned by windows.

What is that latter fallback called? I set up my boot manually using an EFI stub last time I installed arch but wasn't aware of any fallback bootloader

A DMV employee told me they're made of denim and very hard to tear. Is that not true then?

I think this'll be good. Pixar's Soul had an incredible electronic soundtrack

I love that these extensions exist and in theory they sound awesome. Unfortunately for a few reasons I've never been able to get in the habit of using Tridactyl (or any vim browser addon):

  • it doesn't play nice with Google drive apps (which my company uses extensively), so if I use the vim shortcuts to cycle between tabs and open a Google doc, the next time I try to cycle tabs it will instead start typing in the document. (Alternatively I would never be able to interact with Google docs without manually enabling ignore mode)

  • hint mode works really well for some sites but a lot of sites have multiple anchors close together (eg one for an icon, one for text and one behind both) which leads to longer hints and difficulty figuring out which hint to actually use

  • Firefox doesn't allow you to rebund the default "/" search (quick find) cycle keys. The default is c-G for next (not sure about previous); I would like to use n/N

On simple and well-designed "dumb" webpages it works amazing. I wish more sites were designed that way, but unfortunately a lot are made with the assumption of a mouse/touchscreen :(

Yeah, I'd be frustrated too if the chips were that far from my body and I had to lean over to get more...
