It is only a failure if you give up. Otherwise it was just another data point towards success.

@zleap @ljrk

Steroisomers have the same properties but only interact identically with the steroidisomers of the reactants if they aren't symetrical

@bouriquet

Not at all. Its a complete myth and nothing functional like the electorial college is causing it other than Americans stupidity to believe it exists at all.

Saying you are #neurodivergent / #neurotypical has become the modern day stand in for astrology signs.

@zleap @ljrk

Functional groups are regions of molecules that have their own distinct properties. These can be ionic (like the phosphate group) and thus these regions of molecules can interact across molecules.

Personally I think a much richer metaphors to dig into would be graph theory. It naturally and well describes polycule dynamics and has rich terminology to describe all the sorts of concepts you would like. For example the technical term for a couple that can be larger than just 2 people would be a clique.

@ljrk

Its all in fun, and yea this has become quite entertaining ;)

@zleap

@cobratbq

What is something that is stupid from one point of view but malicious from the other and both are correct?

@bouriquet

Look I dont like Trump, but lets be fair.. that is **exactly** what he promised to do, it is also exactly what everyone wanted and voted for.. They wanted a president who would put people into office who were the exact opposite of a politician, that means no expiernce, and contrary to what those positions have meant in the past. This is what we (not me!) wanted....

You wont ever see a solution as long as you keep supporting a 2-party system. I know I did my part this election.

Things never to confuse:

* kindness - weakness
* stupidity - mallice
* lust - love
* learning oppertunity - failure

@freeschool

May be a bit of both, but i do have a very selective memory.. Some points to give you examples

1) I can choose to erase something from my memory. I can decide I dont want to remember something, erase it, then if at a later point I try to remember it I can not. I have the memory of doing this many times but cant remember what exactly it was I was choosing to forget any of those times.

2) I learned at a young age i had to optimize my mind for efficiency if i wanted to accomplish great mental feats because my brain was not any more intelligent than an average brain. So I had to hyper optimize. As such I exploited #1 and made it a point from a young age to only remember the conceptual understanding of an idea needed to recreate the idea, but not the arbitrary constant values needed, which could always be looked up. This results in things like phone numbers and names, and other points of data not entering my head at all while the understanding of the ideas get preserved well. This was super powerful in math because i could just derive any equation i needed for anything and reconstruct ideas without needing to memorize the formula or numbers.

Also, yes to the other point I am **extremely** over stretching myself. But that is intentional and stems from work but also into my personal life. Basically in most of what I do im the only person who can manage the team since i am usually the only top-expert they can afford (I usually cost a company something like 500K to a million for 3 months worth of work). Which means I need to spread my talents across a very wide swath and fill in even the most rivial things with other people and letting me give the absolute minimum needed to convey my knowledge to the team to unblock them. This results in an intentional overstretched interaction where I am intentionally spread quite thing to best utilize my talents.

This is also why you see so many typos, I type very very quickly and have no time to edit or proof read what I say as I am trying to cover as wide a swatch as I can.

@freeschool

thank you for the reminder. I am sorry to say I would have forgotten. I will read it today and give you a response.

I may not like Trump as president, but the one consolation is that Harris lost. The beauty of hating both parties is you always win every year since at least one of them always loses :)

@customdesigned

Obviously I know this is a joke based on its etymology, so lol.

But just to be serious for a moment (a small pet peve of mine). Technically it does **not** mean "set apart". Holy means the following (its definition):

dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred.

Now if you go back 2000 years ago to long before the word "holy" even existed there was a word in a different language (hebrew and greek) that meant "set apart". That word, along with its definition, over many generations, evolved into the modern word holy with its current definition. But the etymology of a word is **not** what the word **means**, that is an incorrect interpritation of a word's etymology (and a pet peve of mine as I hear that often).

I can never tell if a moley is holy or sacraligious...

@TheOldGuy

He really really isnt.... but I suppose knowing him personally puts me in a unique position.

@bibliolater The egg timer means you followed them but werent approved yet. This can happen for many reasons such as:

* The user set up their account so they need to approve followers
* you as a user, or the entire instance, is muted but not blocked, thus requiring the user to approve followers
* The user or the instance has either you as a user or our instance blocked.

@JoshuaHolland

We have had nothing but unqualified grifters for 8 years now between Trump and Harris... we all knew that it was a near garuntee we would have one again these next 4 years... Makes it sting a little less I guess.

@louis If i had been born 2 year layers they wouldn't have beat me to the algorithm. While the app was free and Mich code released I never released the compression algorithm. To this day 30 years later no one has built a faster p2p system with better compression.

That said lets say someone had beat me Tobit.. then in would have invented a different algorithm. I invent dozens of algorithms every year that are able to outperform the best in the industry. So no reason to think I wouldn't have just choosen something else to invent.

The thing about lucknia, a smart person knows their odds and plays the game so they win. Look at my crypto and stock investments. It is almost pure luck in the sense that it is a statistical system. Yet in have never had a single year I've lost money on the market. Why? Because even luck can be mastered when you know math ;) That said you can't really invest like that without massive diversifications so that Kant accessible to the poor for sure obviously. But in didnt do that till later in life too.

@louis The algorithm and most of my algorithms are probably a bad example of luck. My career has largely been a constant aeries of new algorithms I have invented.

The aspects of luck in my mind are more things like this:

* genetic lottery for intelligence
* birth lottery as I wasn't born to a remote tribe or something
* genetic lottery for not having depression or something else that could have crippled my motivation (drug addiction too)

There is always some element of luck that i could have not overcome otherwise. But my point is just that something that can truly stop you is quite rare.

The library for the computer. The electronics was from going into trash bins to harvest parts and equipment. I had very little equipment, a soldering iron and some found components. Ibremeber just getting the solar for the solder was very hard, had to cut lawns to even afford that much.
