I have sold zero copies of my game since the launch sale ended. I’m not sure if I need to cut the original price in half or if people literally just only buy games when they are on sale.

My furnace broke & the furnace repair guy is snowed in, & it’ll be going below zero tonight. So, I had to run to walmart & buy a bunch of space heaters, & I’ll be up all night making sure nothing catches on fire :(

Let’s be real, here. Approximately zero of you on this social network are not also on tumblr. (And, I am cross-posting this to several social networks.) The culture isn’t gonna change much with a post-tumblr exodus.

more zero G sculptures:↵- wearable halos, a few magnets under your hair and you’re magneto↵- fire pulled into various shapes by air currents and electric fields↵- drops of water orbiting statically charged electrodes↵- just a transparent box of metal balls, but you can shake it

sculpture ideas for zero G:↵- stones held by nothing but extremely thin threads↵- a magnetic orrery, without all the supports one needs in gravity↵- lego metacrystals↵- like strandebeests, but they snake lazily through the air when an eddy comes their way↵- light chimes

1/0 = 0 • Hillel Wayne https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/divide-by-zero/

@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org > 1 / 0 = 0 Frome my point if view this is not zero but infinite.

The purpose of thought is to parsimoniously minimize prediction error and a sequence of zeroes is the easiest to predict. Absent constant input or biological urges, the arc of any mind bends towards nothingness.

When I say ‘luckily software has nothing to do with business’, what I mean is that software is uniquely positioned, compared to all other engineering, to be free of economies of scale: it is cheap to develop and has near zero cost of reproduction.

&: what if comparing with zero were hard↵%: haha yeah hilarious, let’s run this as a universe

Cathedrals don’t grow well in zero G. Their pillars are stunted and grow in every direction while rose windows open on random surfaces.

Zero: no absence. No empty space. No thing has a beginning or end, it forms a continuum through time, only with the occasional phase change.

Some have lost specific numbers. Zero, One and Two form the most significant and different groups, with three or more lumped under “other”.

Glad I am not in North Korea
From the Wall Street Journal:

North Korea said on Monday it would issue new won currency this week that would in effect lop two zeros off the old —requiring 1,000-won bills, for example, to be exchanged for 10-won notes with, theoretically, the same buying power.

It said it would limit the amount of old currency it would accept in exchange, to the equivalent of about $40 worth at unofficial exchange rates.

I do not like unsolicited pop-up windows. I like even less unsolicited browser resizing. Missuse of web cookies blows and should be illegal.
