Final Fantasy 8

An often underrated but worthy addition to the Final Fantasy series. It takes a couple play throughs to understand it’s genius.

11 foot 8

Something that's too tall to fit under a low clearance. Named after a YouTube channel that recorded numerous trucks hitting a low bridge.
Watch where you drive that U-haul or you'll cause an 11 foot 8.

8

There is no hell when I am in your love;
I have walked beyond the gates of hell.
No heaven can ever match your love;
I have soared past heaven itself.
Beyond hell, beyond heaven,
Only God remains—
I meet Him in your love.

8 Mile It

Slang for a preemptive action. Can also be used as a manipulation tactic.

"Confront the problem before the problem confronts you."
Most likely will require admittance to involvement in a relevant or apparent issue.
Viewed as personal accountability; although often a power-leveling move to prevent or avoid (more) trouble and/or lessen the impact.

(AKA say all the bad things about yourself in a rap battle so your opponent has nothing to say about you & they lose).
"Boss is pissed you're late today, once you get here make sure you 8 mile it."

"I'm 8 miling it. I'm texting her to apologize before she has a chance to come at me. I don't want to get uninvited from the trip."

"How did he not get fired?"
"He 8 miled it. Before the meeting, he came in and apologized, said it was from his mental health surrounding his divorce."

Order of 8 angles

Is a o9a parody called o8a.

mugGet the Order of 8 angles mug.
The most detailed model yet, adding dimensions of temporality and scope. Axis 1: Pure-Applied. Axis 2: Hard-Soft. Axis 3: Consensus-Stable vs. Emerging. Axis 4: Value-Laden vs. Neutral. Axis 5: Reductionist-Holistic. Axis 6: Quantitative-Qualitative. Axis 7: Experimental-Observational (manipulating variables vs. studying natural variation). Axis 8: Universal-Contextual (laws that apply everywhere vs. knowledge tied to specific contexts). These eight axes create 256 potential science-types, mapping the full diversity of scientific practice. Astronomy is observational, universal, hard, pure. Ethnography is observational, contextual, soft, qualitative. Climate science is mixed on nearly every axis. The 8 Axes demonstrate that methodological wars often stem from unrecognized differences in axis positions.
The 8 Axes of the Science Spectrum "Physics envy is when softer sciences wish they were harder. The 8 Axes show why that's misplaced: you're on different coordinates entirely. Ethnography can't be experimental because its phenomena don't survive lab conditions. Climate science can't be purely observational because the future isn't here yet. Different axes, different methods, different sciences."

A detailed model adding dimensions of temporality and relationship to human skill. Axis 1: Hard-Soft. Axis 2: Consumer-Industrial. Axis 3: Enabling-Replacing. Axis 4: Transparent-Opaque. Axis 5: Centralized-Distributed. Axis 6: Sustainable-Exploitative. Axis 7: Ephemeral-Durable (designed to break vs. built to last). Axis 8: Deskilling-Reskilling (makes humans less capable vs. develops new capabilities). These eight axes create 256 technology-types, mapping the full diversity of human tool-making. Planned obsolescence places a technology on the ephemeral end. Craft tools are durable and reskilling. Digital platforms are often ephemeral (by design) and deskilling (automating expertise). The 8 Axes demonstrate that technological criticism requires multidimensional analysis.
The 8 Axes of the Technology Spectrum "You blame social media for making people stupid. The 8 Axes refine that: social media is soft, consumer, replacing (of attention), opaque, centralized, exploitative, ephemeral (by design), deskilling. That's not one problem—it's eight. Fixing it means addressing all eight axes, not just one. Technology critique requires technology literacy."
