It’s going to vary.

My daughter’s high school was 3.95, 4.25 and 4.45 for the three honors. She had a 4.3 GPA and got the middle honor. At the college she’s in now it goes by top percentage and is somehow based on the previous year’s GPA. So, I think, they average everyone’s GPA from the previous grads and you get an honor for being in the top 5 or 10 percent of that number.

I remember thinking radio stations had bands constantly coming in and playing songs and leaving

I used nothing but Slack for about 15 years. Other distros gave me.problems, hell, I compiled Gentoo from source but was never even successful at installing some of the newbie distros like Ubuntu, but Slack was always simple and rock solid. I wasn’t the best at resolving dependencies, I’d just build and install anything it said I needed. I think I’ve had more than one version of Python or Perl installed at a time, but it never mattered. Every few years I’d wipe everything and reinstall.

I love that movie. The way they run with blades is so good

When I wonder what heaven is like I imagine going a day without thinking about this Elon Musk motherfucker, then I imagine doing that every day forever and I feel a little closer to Jeebus.

I would have gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor you piece of shit

I botched that post, especially the first sentence. I meant to say that it relies on human life being real at some point, either in the present or in the past, and doesn’t really rule out alien life at that point

Bostrom’s theory relies on life being real too. If I could rephrase it, his theory is:

1 if humans can simulate a human mind in the future, they will 2 they will probably simulate their ancestors (us) 3 they will probably do it trillions and trillions of times 4 this means that out of trillions of consciousnesses, some are real humans and some are simulations 5 we are either one of the few billion actual living minds or one of the trillions of simulated minds and math says it’s the latter because trillions is more. (He never says trillions, just unspecific words like “countless”)

I think Bostrom is genius but I’ve never found this argument very interesting.

Is this you?

Oh man, I loved True Names, A Fire Upon The Deep and A Deepness In The Sky. I never got around to read ling the rest or his stuff but maybe it’s time

I mean, don’t buy a car from a conman folks

Oh i see now, it didn’t open in an external browser

I actually have that on my phone but there was still 7-8 ads

I just saw enough ads trying to read the damn story

Your store did it smart. My local grocery store has 8 self checkouts by one door and 8 more on the other end by the other door. Although there are 10 or more normal checkouts with human cashiers, Ive never seen more that two open at a time.
