Well, we have more teeth than we have eyes. Supply and demand.

These look great, cheers!

Seeing a reasonable argument made for the point, and then doubling down on what you think, rather than taking it on board?

You sure do sound like your little brother, yeah.

Let’s just say I’ve lived in three of the four corners, and one of those was in the southern hemisphere 😊 I’m glad you haven’t had the same experience as me though, because my experience has involved getting stung a lot.

… Batman?

String Theory has been folded into (no pun intended) Quantum Field Theory, which fixes some of what the original theory got wrong. Have you seen any videos from PBS Space Time, on YouTube? If not, I’d highly recommend the following videos on the subject (probably in this order):

• The Strings in String Theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6TWO-ESC6A
• Why String Theory is Right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTTa9YcTe1k
• Why String Theory is Wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhpGdumLRqs
• The Nature of Nothing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5rAGfjPSWE

I sure do love the implications of our universe consisting of interactions between excitations in a bunch of fields, the rays of which carry energy much like a plucked string. If that’s right, it could be rendered as audio; we would be listening to the music of the universe. It might not be good, but it would be beautiful! 😂

Patently untrue. Source: I always mind my business and wasps go out of their way to fuck with me. Also they murder bees, and I like bees. Fuck wasps, and fuck the world for making them an integral part of the ecosystem.

Matter is energy, and energy is a wave. The universe is analogue, it doesn’t have “pixels” - it’s all points along the wave.

If you’re being honest, perhaps you could share some of your reasons for saying so with the class? The request itself sounds pretty reasonable, and the tone is polite.

To be honest, I feel a little guilty of this; I started c/starsector because it didn’t exist when I searched for it, but it’s not active and I’ve only posted once. I’m planning on making content, I love that game, but I have a full time job and a side project I’m investing actual money into, not to mention social obligations and travel and family and making sure to take care of my home and my body… where am I supposed to get time to make content too?

I guess it’s not abandoned, just quiet, but I felt compelled to respond. And if you like Starsector or games like it, drop on by, we’d love to have you! I’m a lot better at commenting than I am at posting 😊

Here you go, I found a source of discussion about “zina” or “unlawful sexual intercourse” as defined by the Qur’an, in English, which directly quotes segments of the Qur’an which have been translated to English: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/88051/protecting-societies-from-zina

Try reading the book before leaving a review.

Nah dude, I’m seconding GPT4All. It’s free and SUPER easy to set up, so there’s no harm in seeing if it’ll run on your system. It should; I heard someone got it running on a raspberry pi, so your system is almost definitely strong enough.

I’d recommend DMARC, sure - every little bit helps! But only because your SPF and DKIM are already aligned.

If you want me to check your work, shoot me a DM with your domain and I can take a look after you’ve done it with something like https://mxtoolbox.com (bookmark that one too, it’s good for checking your records after an edit to make sure the edit went live - just give it up to 72 hours). Or, a screenshot of the settings you’ve entered for the record, and I can validate for you (or mark it up to show changes if they’re needed).

Yes, soda is more hydrating than diuretic, but you’ve gotta look at the practical example rather than the raw data. The amount of caffeine in soda would become a problem if you tried to stay properly hydrated by drinking soda. You’re only supposed to have ~400mg of caffeine in a day, and a can of soda has ~30-50mg on average in 355ml of liquid. 10 cans of soda might be almost enough to get the water you’re supposed to drink, but you’d be pretty much at your daily caffeine limit; any more and you’d be in danger of heart issues, doubly so because of the dehydration, not to mention all the sugar and other crap in 10+ cans of soda…

Obviously these numbers vary by person, but not so much that the caffeine content isn’t a concern for people who drink soda exclusively.

It is more acidic than regular water, as the dissolved carbon dioxide creates carbonic acid. It’s not immediately bad for you, but if you drink a lot of it in a short time it could cause stomach issues due to the extra acidity.

That said it’s still water, and drinking enough to have you worried about the quantity of carbonic acid in your stomach would be far outweighed by the benefits of being properly hydrated, so CHUG CHUG CHUG!

My pleasure! I am somewhat versed so I’m happy to spread the knowledge where I can 😊 Microsoft does typically set up SPF and DKIM automatically for new accounts, but a small handful of my customers with legacy GoDaddy accounts that got switched to Office 365 found that it wasn’t enabled for them, for some reason. Probably a migration issue at GoDaddy.

Looks like it’s working just fine for your tenant though, and the rest of the test looks good. Pyzor would’ve triggered 'cause it was a short or empty test message - like the tester noted, test with real content to avoid that, but for now we can just ignore the ding, so you effectively have a 10/10. Nice 👌

It’s an unfortunate truth that there is no power on earth that can guarantee you stay out of the spam box. But, your domain and email are in good enough shape that you will pretty much always get delivered, even if sometimes that delivery is to Spam. You (or the person you were emailing) with might be able to harangue the receiving email provider into refactoring their sorting though; I’m sure your recipient doesn’t want their important emails going to spam, either!

To expand on what others have said, once you send the email, one of two things might happen:

1.) The receiving email server might report the email as delivered to the recipient, or

2.) Your email might get “bounced”, where the recipient is not notified of the email and the email is returned to you with a notice stating why the email was not delivered.

The second one is what happens if the email server is “sure” your email is spam. But even if the email is marked as delivered, that doesn’t mean it goes in the inbox. Secondary checks determine which box it goes in, and that box might be “Spam”. This secondary process is entirely internal to the mall provider, where the initial checks before delivery usually rely on a SpamAssassin instance.

Both are influenced by a number of factors, but the biggest are DNS (Domain Name Service) records on your domain which show you’re a legitimate sender. These are:

• SPF: Sender Policy Framework
• DKIM: Domain Keys-Identified Mail
• DMARC: Domain-based Messaging, Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance

A comprehensive explanation and guide can be found here: https://www.dmarcly.com/blog/how-to-implement-dmarc-dkim-spf-to-stop-email-spoofing-phishing-the-definitive-guide

But the short of it is that if your SPF or DKIM are wrong or missing, your emails are much more likely to be rejected or to land in spam. You won’t lose points (yet) for not having DMARC, but if you have SPF and DKIM set up correctly it gives about 10% better chance of being delivered (but it may not affect whether you get to the inbox, depending on those secondary checks).

You can use https://mail-tester.com to check for these and other issues that would stop your emails getting to the inbox. Don’t worry about “reverse DNS” not matching, or if it says you don’t have an “unsubscribe header”. RDNS can’t be expected to match anymore and I don’t think it’s a good spam indicator. Unsubscribe headers are only for mailing list emails, so if you’re not testing a marketing email from somewhere like MailChimp then you won’t have an unsubscribe header. Finally, being on SORBS is not the end of the world, and blacklists generally can be ignored unless your email provider is small, or if you run your own server.

Finally, don’t ever think “it’s been working fine so it shouldn’t stop working now”. SPF and DKIM weren’t necessary five-ish years ago, now they’re mandatory; DMARC itself hasn’t been taken very seriously to date but Microsoft just recently announced they’re actually going to start paying attention to it. On top of standards changing, unless you own and run the email server in your dwelling, you don’t have the control necessary to say “nothing has changed”. Microsoft can and does change their system constantly behind the scenes: applying patches, updates, retiring old servers and configuring new ones into the cluster, and so on. What was is not relevant; you can only look at what is, and fix that.

But some book covers are badly designed, and the fact that they don’t represent the content of the book well is no fault of the author’s.

(Okay I mean mostly authors have a big say in the book cover but still, not always)
