"bimbo" has an interesting history:

The word bimbo derives from the Italian bimbo, a masculine-gender term that means "little or baby boy" or "young (male) child" (the feminine form of the Italian word is bimba). Use of this term began in the United States as early as 1919, and was a slang word used to describe an unintelligent or brutish man.

It was not until the 1920s that the term bimbo began to be associated with women in popular culture. In 1920, Frank Crumit, Billy Jones, and Aileen Stanley all recorded versions of "My Little Bimbo Down on the Bamboo Isle", with words by Grant Clarke and music by Walter Donaldson. The song uses the term "bimbo" to describe an island girl of questionable virtue. The 1929 silent film Desert Nights uses it to describe a wealthy female crook, and in The Broadway Melody, an angry Bessie Love calls a chorus girl a bimbo. The first use of its female meaning cited in the Oxford English Dictionary is dated 1929, from the scholarly journal American Speech, where the definition was given simply as "a woman".

In the 1940s, bimbo was still being used to refer to both men and women, as in, for example the comic novel Full Moon by P. G. Wodehouse who wrote of "bimbos who went about the place making passes at innocent girls after discarding their wives like old tubes of toothpaste".

The term died out again for much of the 20th century until it became popular again in the 1980s and 1990s, with political sex scandals. As bimbo began to be used increasingly for females, exclusively male variations of the word began to surface, like mimbo and himbo, a backformation of bimbo, which refers to an unintelligent, but attractive, man.

I post one strip per day, and the first strip of this set was posted yesterday, if that's what you mean

What level of fixup / how handy are you? A friend bought a house without working plumbing and had to flush by pouring buckets of water down the toilets, but they're pretty handy and actually fixed it up. I'm not that handy, but you can get really good deals if you're willing to put up with that sort of thing.

Saw an interesting HN comment:

The worst part of Widevine DRM in this application is that even the content models themselves are accidentally victims of using the DRM model in the first place.

I've got a few contacts that I explained how Widevine "downgrading" works to and they had a sudden realization as to the source of some of their biggest complaints from some of their users...

... You see, in the Widevine dumping community, the biggest prized jewel is a "keybox" that can decode Widevine's top content - an L1 keybox. As soon as a device is compromised and its keybox is widely distributed for wider Widevine cracking, the keybox is revoked or downgraded to L3 playback at best - 480p.

And the complaint I asked if they'd gotten? Poor viewing quality on all video, especially from Android device users, and especially from "lower end" Android devices. Check, check, and check.

Legitimate customers end up victim to Widevine DRM "silent" failure that they then blame the content creator for, despite the content creator putting out full resolution content for everyone to watch, which leads to the content creator losing a customer that feels they've been gaslit out of possible confusion from the creator not knowing what happened.

It's interesting living in the fallout from the employment trends that this comic was noticing at the time, 40ish years later. Soldering toaster springs is like the coal mining jobs that aren't coming back, but are used for political grandstanding. The comic also noticed that there's plenty of jobs, just not necessarily the ones you want, and you might have to learn something.

Yeah, I think we've already achieved human-like AI, simply because of how low the bar is set by humanity. People tend to overrate the human experience IMO. Part of that is tied up in people's belief in souls and whatnot

This book, I assume? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echopraxia_(novel)

I'll have to check it out, I don't think I've read any of his stuff before, but I've heard Blindsight recommended a lot

That guy has a real knack for making songs work together that shouldn't

Yeah, there's no redeeming quality to this strip. Matt Melvin is the artist and has a series of C&H strips like this and I think is trying to do over-the-top humor like this one but isn't really getting it:

If anyone thinks we should do a different posting order for the old ones (i.e. random from all of C&H instead of sequential), it'd be good to hear feedback here: https://discuss.online/post/17098553

This is pretty much Assjack, a country/metal hybrid band created by the grandson of Hank Williams

It'd be interesting to see if switching to pypy made any difference. It won't beat the eventual exponential growth, but I've seen it be as fast as Rust code I've written for code like this.

I hope they name the fork "Orgasmic Maps"

Yep, it runs on Lemmy also and federates just as you'd expect

The joke is that she walks into a Foot Locker and instead of getting advice for which shoes she should wear, she gets unsolicited advice about how to meet that guy's standard of beauty
