I'm a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.

  • None of this "what are you thankful for" shit today. What's something you hate?

  • I've been wondering if that's gonna turn around, given all the wins in the US over the last few years (John Deere, Starbucks, Amazon)

  • How close have you ever been to a lightning strike, or related situation caused by a lightning strike?

    Jump

  • In a tent 10m from a tree that got struck directly - some bark blew off it. I was bending over at the waist to pick something off the floor and involuntarily jumped immediately. My memory is that I jumped before I could have had time to react, so I think the electrical field made my muscles spasm which made me jump. Not sure if that's possible or not though.

  • Nah, he's the arsehole here.

  • When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation/sleep-mode"?

    Jump

  • It's true! It's a relatively minor complaint really. Let me pivot: fuck social norms around early starts 😅

  • Jealous

  • My GF gave me one afternoon to fix this, what do i do

  • Get a different girlfriend

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

  • I think OP is saying that they have an old 3d printer that they made/love, and their spouse got them a new (better, nicer looking, but less sentimental) 3d printer.

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

    Jump

  • Fair! Definitely wouldn't have complained, but I'm a different person :)

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

    Jump

  • Yes, and:

    "For my birthday, my spouse got me a nicer newer expensive version of a thing I already have."

    Seems clear that the gift was a replacement printer?

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

    Jump

  • Agree, and I said as much in a separate comment. We also don't know anything about the delivery of the gift giver, either though..

    Jump

  • "The one I have was given to me by my mother in law, whom I adore. It’s sentimental. ... it was a kit and I had to build myself. I loved it. It’s perfect for me. "

    It's right there in the OP

  • They literally said the old one still "works just fine"...

    And it seems clear from the text that it's a 3D printer

  • Sounds like a relationship with a fair bit of conflict avoidance? I hope you have some good relief valves..

    Jump

  • Good take.

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

    Jump

  • Nah, that's nonsense. Sounds like the old one was sufficient, and had deeper meaning attached to it.

    Jump

  • I think from a factual basis your position sounds perfectly reasonable, I feel similarly about new things. (Perhaps there are other parts of the story missing though?)

    There's a lot to be said for delivery. If you opened a gift an reacted badly immediately, that would hurt. Even if the gift was misjudged, it was probably meant with good intent. Accepting thankfully, acknowledging the intention, and THEN coming around to the "but you really should have checked in first for something like this" might be a good way to start.

  • When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think AI optimising commercial music genres is just effectively doing what the corporate music industry has been doing for years anyway. It's like gamification of the auditory processing system.
