@metaltao I have bed sheets made of plush, I don't recommend
I totally flowers for Algernon'd my sense of touch after sleeping on that thing
everything I now touch that isn't plush is now unending torture -
@metaltao no one ever means that Heisenberg, unless the sentence is clearly prefaced with "so on that one episode of Breaking Bad..."
-
@metaltao heisenberg's uncertainty principle: it proves that there's a limit to the knowledge of a particle's complementary variables: position and momentum;
you can estimately know both, approximately know one and barely know the other or EXACTLY know one, and have no idea on the other.
so basically the more you know of one the less you know of the other -
@metaltao if it helps at all I tend to just use big words for small concepts because I want to seem good at something

@metaltao no, it is a game cover

@metaltao Accessability is definitely a large part of it. Also that jokes that are made ironically at first (e.g. memes) tend to become a genuine piece of comedy for people, either because irony is a slippery slope or people just find it that funny. Vulgar jokes have been around since jokes have been around (we're talking Socratic fart jokes here) so it's probably not due to any deterioration of intelligence or anything; it's just a free-for-all fundament of human sociality I suppose.

@metaltao A cop stops a speeding car, turns out it was Heisenberg driving the car the cop asks:
"Sir, do you know how fast you were going?"
"No... But I can tell you exactly where I am right now" -
@metaltao no dude, there are buttons for everything from baby wipes to cat food
also, if you don't need condoms everyday you need to get your priorities checked -
@metaltao ... Nintendogs ? You were thinking of Nintendogs ?
-

@metaltao I did, and I love it, I wanna watch ilegally uploaded movies with snoop dogg
-
@metaltao Nono, it's fine. I now know more about Destiny than I ever wanted to know... I do not even have a console to play it on. However with Destiny 2 announced I kinda wanna see if history will repeat itself, and/or if the name Destiny is kinda tainted. Time will tell :)
-
@metaltao ... Kotaku ? Well no harm reading it I guess.
-
@metaltao Really ? Then why did I never read a Dutch article about just that ? Are there any English ones ?
-
@metaltao I will reiterate that the CEO of that start-up would have made things much better if he simply was more careful about keeping his conventional pistol concealed (I have been carrying for over five years, and as far as I can tell, no one has ever noticed; I even wear slightly oversized shirts to make sure the gun is concealed). That gun is only going to result in increased anxiety in a world where scores of millions of law abiding gun owners are already subject to unwarranted media scrutiny and vile attempts to restrict their access to firearms by various politicians. The dolt who recently blew part of his leg off by irresponsibly using Tannerite is bad enough as it is.

@metaltao For what that gun costs, one could get a subcompact like a Smith and Wesson M&P Shield (a 9mm variant of that gun is my secondary carry gun). The Shield is very easily concealed, it looks like a gun, and it has better capacity than that folding phone-type one (7+1/8+1 in 9mm or 6+1 or 7+1 in .40 S&W vs. the Ideal Carry's 2 rounds).

@metaltao I can see security staff or a cop minding his/her own business being a bit more jumpy at the sight of smartphones in general. I can see a bent cop who doesn't want an activist filming him/her shooting the person with a smartphone and claiming that he/she thought it was a gun. The CEO of that start up's excuse of a child seeing the gun he was carrying is fatuous, to put it mildly. He should have learned from the incident and simply worked to do a better job of concealing his gun in something like an "in the waistband" (IWB) holster.

@metaltao Twitter scaled it way down, here's the original. It's based on one of Arin's tweets. Also thanks http://pny.lv/0bhpc
