No idea what's going on there... That link is autoscrolling to post 9529. If I scroll down farther, my post is 9537.

At a guess, it calculates an in-page index to scroll to. And purged posts earlier in the thread throw it off.

It causes especial jellypotato when the blockee is one (or more) of the last 10 posts in the thread and the linked post is also one of the last 10 posts in the thread. Especially if the blockee is the immediate next post after the linked post (or your last unread post that you're trying to get to by clicking on the topic from /unread/). My inference is that the thread tries to load the "last page" of posts, jumps to the spot you designated, and then back-scrolls by 10 posts because of the unrendered post.
Should probably report it as a bug, but

The recording appears to have been done via a phone camera recording a laptop screen. This, of course, made for a less-than-optimal viewing experience.
In an even weirder turn of events, right as the game over screen hits, the laptop's reflection reveals a shirtless man doing the recording.

https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsif.2022.0497So, you're telling me that the whole "birds aren't real" thing was true, as well?
Let's wait for a new version of Alfred Hitchcock's "Birds" which uses an enhanced version of RobotFalcon (i.e. with guns), playing Sturzkampfbomber over the heads of common people...

@DogsB What's wrong with these people? Free chicken just walking into town. Eat them!
Solutions involving nets, pellet guns, birth control and drug-laden bread crumbs are all being considered.
How about just declaring open season for anyone who wants to bag a chicken?
Raw chicken you need to kill, deplume and disembowel (easily a half day work, especially for someone not skilled in this) only to find out that the meat is usable only for a crappy soup, because it's a adult and feral chicken? Hard pass.
Do you think that a feral chicken is as tough as a goose?

No. Geese are the honey badgers of the bird world.

Honey badgers, also known as ratels, are related to skunks, otters, ferrets, and other badgers. These voracious omnivores ...

@BernieTheBernie honey badgers - nature's violent junkie.

And now for something completely different (IT related, ), this hasn't been discussed here, yet:
-
@acrow the pallet of most city dwellers today isn't prepared for gamier meat, such as hens or roosters, because the meat actually has flavors.

@Dragoon said in In other news today...:
"Level products help minimize home break-in risks with Auto-lock settings at your control - a feature that no analog lock can match.
I'm going to WAG that this feature makes the door automatically lock when closed. Analog locks most certainly can have this feature.

Also because we don't paint with meat.
Okay, most of us don't paint with meat.
-
@Gribnit That would be if the word written was "palette". What he was referring to was people who are using meat to build platforms for placing other objects on when shipping them.
All that as opposed to "palate", referring to how people perceive the taste of food.

I like that song.

@izzion linked article that said in In other news today...:
Testing security is pretty much impossible. It’s hard to know if you’re ever done
In my opinion, this is the most important point of the case study - that test-oriented software verification simply doesn’t work for security
Every freshman should know that testing doesn’t prove anything, you need formal verification for that. “Test-oriented software verification” is a contradiction.
How far have we come with the idiot-driven-design that this counts as a revelation?

It has been known for a long time that money can buy temporary happiness, the statement refers to long term happiness, which is something that money can't buy.
-
@Dragoon repeated temporary happiness is indistinguishable from long term happiness.

Only if the sampling interval is coupled (and, inappropriately) to the recurrence interval!

I suspect the intended audience is more likely managers and investors, which types of people are not likely to know this.

@boomzilla they should know this, but I fear even the developers don't.

Canada is really nice, except in the winter.
IOW, 2 weeks per year
