Mario has visible nipples (meaning he's a mammal) but no visible navel (implying he's not a placental mammal). Nintendo has said that Mario is a Homo nintendus (so he's in the same genus as us but not the same species). Does this mean that when H. nintendus diverged from H. sapiens, they rapidly re-evolved monotremism (i.e. being a mammal that lays eggs)?
in reply to Toilet full of bugs

So wait, this is compelling and potentially allows us to unify Mario with the Koopa-Bowser-Birdo family

But raises further questions. My belief is that all native residents of the Mushroom Kingdom are biologically agender (with gender presentation being exclusively a form of personal expression), and the Koopa-Bowser-Birdo family is parthenogenic (Bowser has many children but the mother is never identified; it's Bowser). What of homo nintendus? Have we ever seen a female Mario?

in reply to mcc

Princess Toadstool ("Peach") is not the same species as Mario; she is a mushroom wearing a Super Crown. The only candidate for a female member of Mario/Luigi/Wario/Waluigi's species (assuming Waluigi is not a robot) is Daisy, who is from Sarasaland, a place about which we know relatively little of the native fauna of, and which seems to have been utterly destroyed by alien invasion. Are the Marios parthenogenic? Alternately, was the stork delivery thing canon?

"The image shows a postal official at the port in Dakar, while travelling i sent cards - it was great that this person was there to sell stamps and mail things

#dakar #postoffice #official #person #postal #places #culture #urban #port #senegal #africa #portrait #photography #street #photo



I saw hill, field, and tree and had to photograph it.

Just outside the frame on the left there’s a bush I didn’t want to include, so the tree had to sit far to the left unless I zoomed in more. Right behind the hill the forest begins, so I positioned myself low enough to keep the treetops out, but not too low, or the tree itself would have been cut off. Since the hill slopes, I wandered through the field for minutes, searching for the right spot.

At first, the photo was in color: green field, blue sky, small white clouds, and the dark tree. Pleasant enough, and it reminded me a little of the XP desktop background. Ten days later I tried it in black and white, darkening top and bottom to draw the eye to the horizon with the tree. Something you can hardly pull off convincingly in color. On the right I opened the crop, which pushed the tree further left, away from the rule of thirds. That rule doesn’t matter much to me anyway, though I sometimes glance at it. Mostly, I just go by instinct. After all, I’m not an AI.

Qualcunx di voi ha mai provato dei "cortisoni" naturali e vegetali come curcuma o ribes nero?

@sans_serif_girl
dove la vitamina b12 viene dai vegetali? lo chiedo per curiosità, perché la sto prendendo anch'io ma come integratore che prendo in farmacia, e mi pare di ricordare che i vegetali non ne contengano, ma potrei ben sbagliarmi.
in reply to Jones

@jones @sans_serif_girl sí perchè la b12 origina da muschi e licheni, che poi alcuni animali la assorbono e quindi chi è onnivoro la assume indirettamente

Jones reshared this.

in reply to gino

@sans_serif_girl
che storia, non lo sapevo, grazie 😀 dici che si trova un po' in tutte le erboristerie? che tu sappia costa di più o di meno di quelle che trovi in farmacia?
in reply to Jones

@sans_serif_girl
ma quelle che trovi in farmacia le fanno uccidendo o maltrattando animali?
in reply to Jones

@sans_serif_girl
questa cosa la sapete? se ci sono integratori di b12 in cui la vitamina viene da uccisione o maltrattamento di animali?

#b12 #vegan #vegetarian

in reply to Jones

@jones eh se non è certificata vegana potrebbe essere, la filiera degli integratori a volte è un po' nebulosa non tutte le case produttrici dicono chiaramente da dove provengono le materie prime
in reply to ragazza senza grazie

@sans_serif_girl
io ho letto in "il dilemma dell'onnivoro" di pollan che negli usa queste certificazioni valgono molto poco, qui quanto meglio?
in reply to Jones

@jones non lo so. alla fine l'integratore non è un farmaco, immagino ci siano meno obblighi da seguire per chi lo produce ma non ne ho idea. molto banalmente penso sia impossibile stare dietro a tutto, siamo limitatə e si fa quel che si può compatibilmente alle nostre forze e possibilità
in reply to Jones

@jones sulla letteratura non ti so consigliare purtroppo. sul lato pratico fossi in te farei così: sul sito di una qualunque farmacia online cerchi "integratore b12", ti usciranno parecchi risultati immagino. l'unica è prenderli uno a uno e verificare cosa dichiarano sul sito del produttore.
in reply to Jones

@sans_serif_girl
comunque insomma mi pare sia abbastanza improbabile che la b12 nelle compresse che si trovano in erboristeria venga da ammazzamento o maltrattamento di animali, quindi mi sa che proverò a prenderla in un'erboristeria qua vicina, chiedendo un po' lì
in reply to Jones

@jones può essere di sì come di no. devi tentare un po', oppure senti se @guiscardo ti dice la marca di quello che compra lui che se è vegano dovrebbe essere ok
in reply to Jones

in farmacia non l'ho mai chiesta (sono ostili alle robe vegan) e nemmeno in tutte le erboristerie, ci ho sbattuto un po' la testa anni fa prima di trovarla. Ovviamente parlo di una versione certificata vegan. Qui la trovo in una erboristeria in particolare oppure da Natura sí, che è una catena ora in mano a Coldiretti (preferisco non andarci per boicottare cacciatori e carnisti tipo Prandini e Lollobrigida). Oppure la trovi online ovviamente.

After manually resetting passwords from 20+ services due to an employee leaving, the most infuriating things I can think of are: some services don't have a "change password" button, only "Forgot your password?" -- no, I didn't forget, I want to change it on purpose.
And some services also use stupid restrictions on the MAXIMUM length of a password, like 20 characters. Like, why?

"The truth is actually very straightforward. Ordinary even. And that's even more unsettling.

"It's far more sinister than a hot mic," says Egelman.

There's no credible evidence that your phone runs a secret, always-on microphone to target ads, and there are clear technical and policy reasons why.

Independent researchers have gone looking for covert "listening" and found none, including a definitive 2018 Northeastern University study that has yet to be superseded. What they did catch in a handful of cases were screen recordings or image and video uploads to third parties. Creepy, sure, but not a hot mic.

Laws matter, too. The federal Wiretap Act bans intercepting conversations without consent, and many states (like California) require all parties to consent, stacking civil and even criminal liability on covert, continuous capture. An "always-listening for ads" feature would constantly record non-consenting bystanders and invite massive legal exposure. I know that's not completely reassuring, but that's why it's implausible in practice.

When I run the bar moment by ad-tech veteran Ari Paparo, he doesn't flinch. Paparo helped build the pipes — he founded the Beeswax DSP (acquired by Comcast's FreeWheel) and led product management at AppNexus/DoubleClick — so he's seen exactly how ad targeting really works.

"I'm very confident this is not happening. The phone is not actually listening to you," he says. "I would say that 100% of my colleagues in the advertising world agree with me."

I know that's a tough pill to swallow, but he offers the real and almost boring explanation for why it feels uncanny: People are predictable. "The ads are attempting to guess what you're interested in," he says. "It's all statistics."

Simple version, for the record: Ads follow your behavior. No listening required."

I oppose the US backed Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people.

I condemn the people of Israel who support and perpetrate the murder and slaughter of their neighbours in Palestine.

I am prioritizing stopping an active genocide above all other issues.

This is the most straightforward moral issue of the 21st century. If you oppose this genocide, you are right, and anyone who disagrees with you is wrong.
It really is that simple.

It may seem like a small quibble compared to the human lives at stake here.
And yet, I think using generative AI to make the people you support look "better" means your'e basically setting the precedence for using it to make the people you oppose look worse.

...and before you know it, it's made-up evidence all the way down, and filtering actual facts from made-up embellishments becomes impossible. That's an enormously dangerous road to travel.

#WritersCoffeeClub 5 September. How much should a writer read?

I generally recommend reading as much as you are able - on any conceivable subject, and certainly outside of your genre. Inspiration can be gained from _anywhere_, and the more you read - the more you know - the more will you be able to develop your own style and your own unique ideas and plots.

One of my major regrets in life is that I do no longer have as much time to read as I did in my youth, but I nevertheless try to keep at it.

Schiff: Trump's Wrong; "We Screw Over The World" On Trade

Schiff: Trump's Wrong; "We Screw Over The World" On Trade

Donald Trump’s tariffs split opinion—champions said they were leverage to rebuild U.S. industry, while critics argued they were hidden taxes that raised costs and invited retaliation. At last night’s ZH Debate, Cornell chemistry professor Dave Collum — fresh off his Tucker Carlson controversy — moderated as Peter Schiff and Brent Johnson squared off on trade, tariffs, and the future of the dollar.

Brent is no fan of tariffs but thinks there is some wisdom to Trump’s long-term plan and that the U.S. dollar still reigns supreme. Peter… well all ZH readers know where Peter stands.

Below were the key moments for those short on time:

Trump Has Trade Deficits Wrong

Peter Schiff argued that America’s trade deficits are misunderstood. “It’s actually the other way around,” he said, pushing back on Donald Trump’s claim that the U.S. is being taken advantage of. “We take advantage of the world. They give us goods produced at significant cost in resources, land, labor, capital… and all we do is run off dollars on a printing press, cost us nothing, and we give it to them.”

Brent Johnson responded that this imbalance is exactly what comes with America’s position. “That’s the privilege of being the hegemon as you get global.”

Schiff countered that such privilege is temporary. “It’s the privilege that we are about to lose. That’s what $3,500 gold tells you. Dollar is on the way out as the reserve currency.”

t.co/mgb8ovZcPy

— ZeroHedge Debates (@zerohedgeDebate) twitter.com/zerohedgeDebate/st…

“I expect Powell to lose”

Brent went on record with a bold call that included something rarely seen in market commentary: timing.

He predicts — as soon as October — a 10 or 20% market downturn… perhaps welcomed by the Trump admin so they can blame the Fed and lower rates.

“To get the cover to do that, they need some pain. I don’t think they can do that right now with things the way they already are.”

“Some kind of a crisis that they blame on the Fed, and then they go back to even easier monetary policy than maybe they had last time. And that is what then gives the fuel to go much higher.”

With markets at record highs and inflation still sticky, “it’s really hard to do it now.”

Brent’s prediction: “I think Powell is pushing back a little bit. But this is the thing—I expect Powell to lose. I think Trump and Bessent are going to get control.”

Zelensky after talks with Slovak PM Fico: Ukraine will keep responding to Russian strikes on energy facilities — “no one will sit in darkness.” He welcomed Slovakia’s support for EU accession and said Kyiv is ready to ensure Slovak energy stability without Russian resources. He added Ukraine could supply oil and gas to Slovakia, “as long as it’s not Russian.” The next meeting with Fico may take place on October 20.
