He is talented. The song does have great chord structure and lyrics. It captures the human condition. If you close your eyes and listen in the dark deprived of other sense it passes the neck tingling test.
Bieber is actually a solid musician even though he's a below average human being generally. But hey, a lot of good artists are, so as long as they aren't actually awful people I can give them a pass. Like Ariana Grande licked donuts, but there's no denying she's quite talented.

I also love that music video.
See: West, Kanye.
Seriously though Bieber has put out some good stuff recently, I especially like that track he did with Major Lazor.

About ToG, even I have to admit it went to shit after he introduced 20+ boring characters who are so unremarkable it's not even worth remembering their names
BUT I think that the last 30 or so chapters have been pretty good, the pace is picking up and we see a lot more of the characters I like
I spent a good few hours last night learning how and trying to create a Linux instance on an AWS VM and install Anaconda on it. The VM is stood up, I had jupyter notebook running, but I wasn't able to connect to the VM's address through browser. I tried restarting the VM, but now jupyter is all jacked up...
Fundamentally most people don't actually learn or understand what they are doing with numbers. You get bright people who just can't do it post school or you get bright people who can integrate the world but can't apply it to shit.

I have no idea what I'm doing lol
well i've never used AWS anaconda or jupyter but that sounds like a cool project what are you trying to do? use for local network only or are you gonna buy a permanent web address / domain?

It's gonna end up being a local network probably. I may not end up needing it for the project right now, so it'll likely get tabled for a bit.
Not gonna talk about what I'm looking into yet cuz I'm bad at following through :3
I'm really excited that phyvo will get to play Civilization 6 all day Friday while I'm at work. It unlocks at 11 PM CST Thursday, so at least I'll get an hour or so with it beforehand.

Frustrating.
Pretty much every intro STEM class is taught in a way that's frustrating and dumb which makes it more a test of how much you can smash your head against a wall rather than learn. The good stuff is all gated behind it.

I found the stuff taught inside my school was done pretty well but as soon as you had to go to specific schools(EG Maths/Chemistry) it just became horrible. Maths in particular. It's like those people are so far from reality that they don't know how to teach it in a manner that most people can grasp and apply. Hated that stupid rule at Uni that subjects had to be taught by schools they fell under. Sitting there learning long ass proofs that have absolutely no application outside of pure maths or even help understanding what's going on was mindnumbing.
At one point we actually had to relearn a whole section of calculus in our Mass Transfer module which I understood waaaaaaay better than it was ever taught in the actual maths module. Since now we were looking at the logic behind it using real world application to tie it all together in a way that was relateable and got you thinking.

It's a pretty shitty day to be a SC2 fan. I honestly can't see OW having longevity, though. Like, it's fun and I play a lot and what not, but as an esport? I dunno. Nothing replaces Starcraft as a spectator sport for me.
Yeah calculus didn't click for me mentally until I took beam theory and vibration mechanics. Which is sad because I aced all my math classes.
Why all calculus is introduced fundamentally with proofs is beyond me. Seems stupid as all hell.
Even goinh back to highschool courses... would be much much better if it wasintroduced as relations between distance, velocity, and acceleration. What kind of 16 year old can just take maths and turn it into a a sound understanding of a limit and the limit function. Like make those kids reason how to integrate a distance/time graph into a velocity graph without those words. Then if they smart make em do it again to create anew acceleration graph. Then show theme you can discover that with one mathematical operation... kids minds would be blown and instrigued instead of sleepingredients or texting.

My music Monday in the spoiler. Kinda fun little song the video is pretty nsfw tho
yessssss Caravan Palace is so good
I dig their stuff (I actually linked this song in the first electroswing thing a long while back) but this is by and far their best song imo.
Is it weird that I find sc2/BW way easier to follow than OW?
I wouldn't think so. Did you ever watch FPS games before? I feel the same way. I imagine it has to do with unit and resource count and other metrics being much more visible whereas the imbalance in ultimates and who's dead or not and positioning of 12 people is more difficult to process quickly. I'm not even sure if those are relevant things.
