I've already got that covered. You weren't around for a while,  so I assumed it needed doing and went ahead and did it.

Well, the Dungeon Dice do have SKUs starting with 19, so "alea iacta est" would seem pretty straightforward in a roundabout Reaper-referential way.

 Randomness XIX: We're STILL Not Calling It "Bob".....

 

 

 

 I was supposed to do a thing today. I still haven't done that thing. I really should go do that thing now, but I probably won't.

 

Cuz Jack is an idiot.

TIL that one can argue the internet was full of porn before it even was the internet.

 

See, the long-time gold standard test image for image processing was scanned in 1973, and while cropped to show little more than a suggestive look, the "Lenna" was cropped from the November 1972 Playboy centerfold.

 

The first verifiable recorded use of the term "internet", on the other hand, came in December 1974 (though I would assume Vint Cerf might have used it as shorthand for internetwork before, in private communications lost to time). And from a technical pov, the modern internet didn't begin until 1983, when multiple networks linked via TCP/IP. By which time researchers had already widely (well, by 70s standards) distributed the electronic Lenna, purely in the name of science of course.

 

Admittedly, the technically SFW "Lenna" isn't exactly porn by 2022 standards, and scientists in 1983 probably weren't transmitting Lenna all the time, so the argument isn't super strong - but it's not completely wrong.
