Yeah, I think this is the best option. It sounds a little weird at first, because we’re so used to hearing it the other way around, but it makes more sense if you think about it.


Some computer nerd friends and I came up with a solution for this:

Computer architectures typically provide separate instructions for “logical” and “arithmetic” bit-shifts. The details as to why aren’t important, but we can borrow the nomenclature.

When referring to “tomorrow” in the sense of “when I wake up from my next sleep cycle”, use “logical tomorrow”. When referring to “tomorrow” in the sense of “after midnight tonight”, use “arithmetic tomorrow” (or “chronological tomorrow”, if you really want to be pedantic).


ArsTechnica, baby

I know they’re owned by Condé Nast, but they seem to genuinely maintain a good deal of journalistic independence

I don’t actually have the patience to run it, mind you. But it’s definitely my favorite in principle.



Das Boot is the movie you show an engineer if you want them to be anti-war.

The submarine itself is as much a character as the rest of the crew, and it fights alongside them through every struggle…

…only to die a pointless death at the end. A beautiful machine wasted on the cause of warfare.


Clooney’s delivery of the line “I am Shiva, the god of death” gave me chills.


Sing’s decision to cast all of its black VAs as a crime family of gorillas is disgusting, though.


I started watching it because I wanted to see what the hype was about, but I was instantly impressed by just how good it was. The writing, acting, direction and themes are consistently strong, and while the ending was a little strange, it’s overall phenomenal.


(jokingly:) “Titanium” by David Guetta is about the A-10 Warthog

The aircraft protects the pilot with titanium armor, features a large machine gun, (technically a rotary cannon) and includes many redundant systems that allow it to keep flying even after suffering significant damage.

These things fit with the song lyrics surprisingly well.


I mean… does Squid Game count? 'cuz it’s fucking based.
