The algorithm is machine thinking. It is incompatible with human thinking. Whenever I see crazy people posting crazy stuff online, I just treat them as if they had been ideologically poisoned by machine thinking.

These are heading in a good direction but wanted to offer a few thoughts: 1. Darks are waaaaay too dark. Stay further away from black. You're getting some decent color in there, but we can't see it. Lighten those values some so that we can see those colors. 2. Your lights,

A mathematician demonstrating the "Kaprekar's Routine" and explaining why this number acts as a black hole for all others. In 1949 Indian mathematician D.R. Kaprekar introduced the world to a mysterious constant that now bears his name. Speaking at a conference in Madras, he

I tend to whistle with an open mic while playing ARC Raiders. It passes the time, doesn't alarm folks thinking I'm sneaking around to kill them, and I get to practice whistling different songs. Guys compliment my whistling prowess every so often. It's a guy thing, I guess.

Hey, Free League Publishing, I convinced work to let me run tabletop RPGs in the office as part of an employee stress reduction program. Conference room whiteboards are super handy for teaching new players your One Ring starter set!

I have crashed and burned on Lord of the Rings. Tolkien has defeated me. Do I need to turn in my nerd card? Tolkien really needed an editor who wasn’t his friend. I cannot read about yet another path that turns round yet another hill, but with different rocks this time. If

For almost five years I've been developing a tabletop roleplaying game off and on. Sometimes I'll develop it for a month then put it back for a while, then pull it out to record a good idea and put it back. I've got pages and pages of ideas and connections and the "feel" of the

My first-ever confession to a priest is scheduled for March 18. I’m 55. I need to ask somebody if they need that as an Excel document or PowerPoint? Maybe a Word doc in 6-point font? Just tell Father whoever to clear his calendar for that day. I got some stuff to say. ✝️

We got this cool VOIP phone app at work that lets us make all of our calls through our laptops and an app on our iPhones. I figured this meant I didn't need my desk phone anymore, so I unplugged it and put it in a file cabinet. Who needs that ancient thing when I can use the

Things that will automatically revoke my trust in your opinion: 1. Bird hands. 2. That slappy hand thing with every syllable to emphasize a point. 3. Flat bill baseball caps. 4. The word "bro". Multiple "bros" in a single interaction are exponentially worse. 5. Nose rings.
