“Sju komma fem”

If you can lift it with one hand, it’s a stick. Possibly a staff if you’rewearing a pointy hat. A log requires at least two hands.

I just cut the onions on the stove with the ventilator running. It allows me to slice/dice/mince the onions however which way I want without any tears.

First of all: Thanks for stepping up

Secondly: Hopefully pedantic dorks won’t cause the mod queue to clog up

Thirdly: Reported for rule 4, “Self promotion”

I’m unsure whether it would be cringe or clever if McDonalds went all in on the No Kings protest, claiming that they misunderstood the concept and thought it was against Burger King.

Used it in the past, and it’sa pretty alright desktop OS. It would work as a server OS, but that’s not really its main focus.

It’s debian based, so might as well go for actual debian.

It was against the buying part.

And the parrot isn’t downloaded, it’s earned. When you’ve flown the jolly Roger long enough, a parrot will start visiting you and a big hairy guy with a peg leg and eyepatch declares “Yer a pirate, Harry!”

You should never not buy the pro version.

High IQ scores mean you’re good at IQ tests, and that’s it.

Eons ago, when I joined the army as a conscript, the officer said I scored higher than 90% of anyone taking the test.

The test results implied that I’m smart. My life experiences prove otherwise.

I always liked putting it in D&D terms: I’m not sure if I have high INT and low WIS, or if it’s the other way around.

It’s been a while since I selfhosted my email, but I found it pretty efficient to set up a spam filter that periodically logged into my Gmail address and used its spam folder to train a bayes classifier.

Been a hetzner customer for around 20 years. No regrets.

Well, you’re going to be 50 soon… you might as well be 50 doing something you like.

Most Americans I know who moved here (Norway) did so after landing a job that they then moved here for. Moving here and then trying to find a job is a great method for going broke in a couple of weeks.

Plus, lining up a job beforehand makes the visa ordeal easy.

I agree in theory, but that makes journalism too dependent on state approval. There are too many journalists throughout time who were publicly discredited and shamed for not towing the line. Publishing something of which the state does not approve is scary enough without the news orgs funding being cut as a result.

Actually, the G in GPU stands for Giraffe. Hardware has gotten quite sophisticated over the years, and are no longer optimized for rendering triangles. If you can render a giraffe you can render anything.

Good safety glasses are awesome. When heading home after a field-job, I always bring a pair.

I go through a lot of these, as I tend to forget them all over, but the gist of my strategy is this:

• As dark as possible
• I prefer non-polarized, as polarized sunglasses tend to interfere with plane cockpits and car HUDs
• Big enough to cover most of my sight angles
• I never liked those thick nose bridges, as I find them too hipster-y
• Other than the above, IDGAF about how they look. I wear them for me, not for others.

Brand sunglasses (raybans, Oakley, etc) are OK, but I generally find that they’re not very durable. The glasses resist scratching very well, but the frames could be a lot stronger.

Yup. Any impacted component that survives means that the force was transferred to the driver instead.

Modern cars look worse after a collision for a reason: If it collapses/crumples, it means that it absorbed some of the forces applied to it rather than transferring it on.

It said 1~2 originally

Still more plausible than 1W
