Yeah, not really weird, just an oddly specific title.

Which has the more efficient packing: spheres or the tetrahedron Tetrapack?

I was thinking of a 52-solution while listening, and my mental approach was:

- Suits: anything on repeat, e.g. CDSH
- Values: AAA7 2228 3339 ...

I'm pretty sure it's distinct from Bec's.

I first thought about AAAK 222Q ... but the 7s would line up, so instead of reversing a suit, just offset it.

Have you continued to update this? I haven't been on for a while. Really looks good.

Got a short film for you then: A Bird Hit My Window and Now I'm a Lesbian. It's on YouTube.

How many of those shirts do you think they had to make in the end?

I rather like Cortana's arc. It's a shame they made Infinite instead of 6 (finishing the story from 5). THAT would have been a statement: AI banding together to fight for freedom and survival.

Humans vs Covenant remnants vs Sangheli vs AI-controlled Forerunner tech... That would've been so fun.

A year ago, I lost my coding computer to "I don't want to boot anymore". Since then I've been programming on my gaming computer.

Today it started boot looping.

I haven't had a woodworking shop in 3 years since moving house.

I have a sad.

My first thought was: "Halo, by Michael Bay".

I'm seeing this because @noodleawesome.bsky.social reposted. Just wanted to say it like his better because it has... class?

Oddly, @thatsabsurdshow.com also covered the "extraordinary claims" thing in a recent episode.

Avatar (blue people) is just Dances with Wolves in space.

Greg Dennis @gregsdennis.bsky.social · 8d

Avatar 1 was decent.

A2 was just "what if Avatar, but water".

A3 looks to be "what if Avatar, but fire".

I'm slowly realizing that Avatar 1 was really "Avatar: Earth", and so now I expect A4 to be "what if Avatar, but air", and now M. Night's 'Last Airbender' is comparably a masterpiece.

I'm waiting for one of you 'essentials' in my feed to just fuck off and only publish on nebula. That'll motivate me to sign up again.

Greg Dennis @gregsdennis.bsky.social · 8d

Noticed this. Haven't watched it yet.

What about a "We're struggling!"?

Greg Dennis @gregsdennis.bsky.social · 8d

That's how boxes open. I've made a box before, which makes me an expert.

Okay, so you asked for ads that impacted me as a child.

This one fucked me up. I was about the same age as the boy in the ad.

Brent Spiner is so wonderfully musically talented. I'm glad they got some of that into the show (and movies), but I wish I got more.

Greg Dennis @gregsdennis.bsky.social · 14d

I was able to work out the chords, but I don't know the musical terms to help her. The 1st verse is (maybe?)

Cadd2 Am-add2 F F
Cadd2 Am-add2 F F

But the second does this

Cadd2 Am-add2 F F
Ab Gm C Em D G

It sounds great, but I don't know what's going on musically.

I hope you can help. Thanks.

@12tone.nebula.tv I need your help. My wife asked me about a song to find out what's happening so she can find other songs like it. It's Swift's Wi$h Li$t.

She asked a couple musically educated (like you) friends, and got response along the lines of "T-Swift sucks", which was of no help to anyone.

I'm not gonna see this reused for Movenber, am I?

"We're gonna put you in a hat and face mask so people can't recognize you."

Puts his name on the screen.

Here's a link. It's such a beautiful song.
