@daisy Eduard Demming, the cannonical author of stats and process control, had some maxims... one of which was, "it costs far more to rework a defective product than it does to make it in the first place." When there is a process in place that's tuned to reliability, every piece is more of the same. Every defective piece is unique. If the raw material is defective, fixing a defective product is chasing randomness, so buy better spec'd raw material. or refine the process.

@bloor You know why it takes so long?? Because first you have to shave the Yak

@SimonCHulse First, it's not a joke. Next, some things can't be unscrewed. If this is your first and only tool, you are screwed.

@bloor I'm a professional, it always takes two weeks. even a month from now.

@anna_lillith@aeva I know the person who did the original science work proving all the trees are connected.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy Well, this basically explains the internet.

@michaelgemar @aeva @dgar I'm not sure, it doesn't say anything about bacteria or probiotics anywhere on the label.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @davidaugust Nope, couldn’t fit.. too many elefonts

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place I hope it rains again tonight... After all the weather, I build a lightening detector. I finished just as the storms moved on. I do get a glimmer though whenever I pat one of the Kittos.

@dgar@aus.social Under or over?

@pluralistic Doesn't *START* to fray, it continues to fray or frays more. (having difficulty with fraysing.)

@michaelgemar @aeva @dgar Gemar, I looked at your profile in a glancing way, and for a second I thought your pronouns said helium... I thought that it was a gas.

@fractal_timescales@mathstodon.xyz @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Resistance useless? Tell that to my bag of parts!.

@dgar@aus.social Whelm... to direct the flow of water. As a gutter or a troff. Over-- is totally swamped, under- a trickle, boring. By itself, merely anodyne. I was so whelmed, I fell asleep with my face in a toot.

@dgar@aus.social Dunno between the two of us you the musican, im a musicant. And trust me when I say i can prove it, by demonstrating how. You don’t want that.

@RickiTarr I remember a time in the ‘70’s 80s when they called these kinds of things conceptual art.. and regenerative art. it was a movements. Regenerative was based on findz art. When we findz art we use it. A mimeo of my mimeo is your mimeo. The conceptual part was learning how to bullshit well enough to convince some people some times that what we made was art. The loci were Saic, Alfred U, NYU, UIC, the players were anyone who lived in Soho, Sandine, snodgrass, woods, Nam Jun Paik, Oldenberg, the Vidiots, and Warhol, Mark Mckernin, Thom DiFonti. The tech was mainframes, terminals, portapacks, IP aka sandine image processor, GRASS graphic symbiosis environment, XRocks, Silk Screens and non-visual ambient environments. Also famous for pasteup punk street pole party posters. Compared to those days, AI Art, .. drek with no soul or intent. A nihilist autotune without lyrics. Should I go on?

@GreenSkyOverMe I bet those play well with the Aviation Authorities, or whatever they call it over there.

@pluralistic Another aside.... It was reported that trump's easter bunny was Pentagon Pete.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place That takes me back... to the Apple II+

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place @dgar@aus.social It was on the bargain shelf, so I thought I'd risk it... not unlike a certain president betting on the outcome with a certain country... Fortunately, on the way to that market, I left my phone--er news source at home

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place@dgar@aus.social I was hungry and couldn’t make up my mind ...

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org the pope has a much more dignified ring that Trump has. ... and it's been kissed so many more times. So, Trump may have a little bit of avarice going on there.

@benlockwood If this keeps up, it will destroy itself. cheat the escheton.

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org Trojan Horse Derves

@evacide@hachyderm.io You are absolutely right

@fsinn@mas.to Vance, huh, ... um, When did he become a Rasta?

@faraiwe@mstdn.social @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @jay_chi@mastodon.social The problem is the marketing department, they oversell the glory of the things, when they have no idea that the users are about to wade into a swamp.
