Let R = { x | x ∉ x }, then R ∈ R ⟺ R ∉ R... or is it?

    Against Stupidity

    I figure I’ll do some popular sociology. I’ve reached the limit of what I can do at the present time, and I need to take a break from all the doomscrolling, because there’s only so much war crime bingo I can read before I go do something emotionally motivated and ultimately useless.

    Good morning, Vietnam

    My foreign friends often ask me – the very few that know I’m Russian – what does the average Russian think about Ukraine.

    You can see why I have always kept this private now.

    Lame Pun Collection

    So I decided to trawl conversation logs for throwaway lines I spout on occasion. Because otherwise I’d forget them entirely, and some of them are actually good ideas. Granted, most of them are stupid puns… But I like puns, and I’m still not sure why you’re supposed to cringe at them.

    Rational Magic

    I basically improvised most of this lecture from memory when talking with DannyJ yesterday, but then I thought, why not blog this, should at least be food for thought. It’s not directly pony-relevant, more like a general topic of discussion which one needs to meditate on when writing fantasy – but that includes ponyfic, so you might be interested.

Bingo · 9:26am Apr 6th, 2017

So I still don’t have enough time and energy to actually write much, but everyone left me alone for a few hours and I used them to make a thing.

In my defense I can say that I only spent about four hours total on it:

Season 7 Bingo Card Generator

Traditional rules of bingo apply:

1. Make yourself a card.
2. Watch season 7 as it airs.
3. When the events observed in the series match those described in a cell, cross that cell out.
4. The middle square marked “Free Hugs” counts as already crossed out.
5. The first viewer to cross out a complete horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of cells wins.

I made it because I saw iisaw making a bet.

Then I thought that we need more gambling, and iisaw concurred.

So, enjoy, spread, rehost. Have fun. :)


For the record, here’s my own card.

Gambling? Is this what Fimfiction has descended to? Atrocious, I tell you.

Ooh, Owlowicious & Trixie...

Hmm, I could ask for the list of tiles, or, wait, it's JS, the source's available, I could just take a peek-

Line 1: 1.1M characters long
Line 2: blank, EOF

…list of tiles, please?

Compiled JavaScript, embedded resources, so, not that easy. 80% of that is the image file with the tiles.

Inspect a tile. (F12 in most major browsers.) Find the background style of the element called "div.bingo-cell". It will have an url to an image. This is a data url, i.e. it's the image itself encoded as base64, not a link to one. (Which allows this HTML file to be completely self-contained.)

Open that in a new tab, (right-click works in Chrome) and you get the sheet of original tiles after it’s been decoded into an actual file.

You could also feed the HTML into a beautifier, but since the code operates in terms of abstract tiles, which are selected from a sheet, it knows nothing at all about what tiles it has, so you’d still have to base64-decode the image itself to see it and wade through the pile of other extraneous data. The above method is still easier.

I downloaded a bingo card on 6 April. Did you add more tiles to the shuffle since then?

Nope, I only got one set that iisaw made and it's all in there. There was a prior version with a different set, but that was retired well before this post.

Hmm. "old-stlye" changelings.
