That’s some solid reframing, bro 👍

Panik: your Debian stable system is so ancient it still contains the heartbleed bug.

The comparison in this case is operating on the word half, not on the subject of the sentence:

Only half want to get married, even less [than half] want kids.

Consumables are always the best gifts. I don’t even bother with anything else anymore, unless it’s something that I made myself because then it has sentimental value.

The target being the executives who will approve the marketer’s work.

So the developers claim, but the users still encounter it, and the bug report stays open for 22 years … possibly more.

Caffeine is pretty well studied and it’s known that the long term health effects are nothing close to cocaine. I doubt if there was any good science back then on the long term effects of cocaine, let alone enough education for the populace to know and understand it.

However social perceptions may change anyway. What we consider as not serious may be considered much more serious in the future. For example many people get headaches or even migraines as a withdrawal symptom of caffeine, and we don’t consider a headache to be serious.

But I saw a Star Trek episode once where Picard gets a headache and it was a big deal because those had been solved for hundreds of years by that time! Turns out the ferengi were controlling his mind or something. So caffeine may be considered a serious drug in the future if it interferes with the detection of alien mind control devices.

My favourite is the “upload your genitals as jpeg”

George RR Martin is the creator of game of thrones, not the show runners.

Oh wait, the original example was lotr, which also was based on books lol. Nevermind me, carry on.

Huh, interesting. I didn’t realize Dassaults makes both solidworks and catia.

It’s made by Seimens, the industrial equipment manufacturer. IIRC it’s one of the oldest CAD systems there is, from the 80s when they started developing it in house for their own use.

It’s just the simplest way to explain extrusion.

“A profile through which material is pushed, forming a part of uniform section and indeterminate length” just confuses people. But then you say “ya know those playdoh things?” And they instantly understand.

How can they know it’s your data without first collecting your data to compare it?

“Give us your personal information so we can ask others to delete your personal information” just doesn’t sound like a trustworthy offer.

Aren’t those all part of one of the other three? The orkneys and Hebrides are part of Scotland.

Damn that’s gonna be slow.

But I guess speed was not a criterion.

It speaks to everyone. “I’m messed up because I’m smarter than other people” is a seductive fantasy.

They’re not telling individuals what they’re allowed to talk about. These are rules for official company marketing communications.

We may not agree with their stance, but they are well within their rights here.

they develop community-based committees which have no actual power in themselves but are used to develop concensus on issues that affect the whole community. So rather than abolishing all rules they’re all about human collaboration and concensus.

So it’s a democracy.

I used an 11 year old phone for about 6 months while I waited to get a new phone. I never had any problems with processor speeds despite having about 60% the processing power of a then-current phone.

I think people vastly overestimate the need for a bigger better processor.
