@glyph @jalefkowit It predates computers by a fair bit:"Ernest Edward Tyzzer (1875–1965) first made his observations on the genus Cryptosporidium in 1907 ... Cryptosporidium was so named because of the absence of sporocysts within the oocysts, a characteristic of other coccidia."https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2716703/But yeah it does make for fun comparisons 🙂

@tomjennings If you're watching one of those true crime shows and you stop and think "hey that went okay, that's a crime I could get away with", keep watching to the end of the episode before you commit the crime.

@foone is it using useless_boolean to check if the loop is run at all?

@foone VGA has separate H and V sync at TTL and colour channels at 0.7V so you should be able to run it directly off that, one color channel per monitor!

@pluralistic I have a theory that "Illuminatus!" / SubGenius / Discordianism acted as a kind of social crank vaccine for a while there, since every time someone came up with some new Secret Knowledge you already knew a joke about it.

@tomjennings "An educational apparatus used for the teaching of mathematical operations that use fractions." https://www.freepatentsonline.com/6192594.html go figure 🙂

@ai6yr @unlambda I should start keeping an eye out for these things because even if the mid-drive motor is unusable that's potentially a good source for heavy duty rims, forks and tyres :-)

@stux There's several diseases which without vaccines would likely put me in hospital, but having had a whole bunch of scheduled and travel vaccines I'd possibly not even notice I'd been exposed to them, and I think that's pretty close to a miracle.

@lardmotel Does it actually define what is and isn't a "religious text"? I mean, sure, there's some obvious ones, but how about Apocrypha? Or maybe I'll write (sorry, receive) a new one and quote from that? Do commentaries count as part of the religious text or just the core text? If so, where exactly do you draw the line?Also which translations are acceptable? Can I write a new (controversial) translation and quote (in English) from that?

@futurebird @Moss to be fair, if she gets this kind of result from participating in a postcard exchange, the world of social media is not ready for her.
