Any of these are acceptable responses to being told you have pretty eyes.

Ring in sick yourself. There’s clearly something going around…

WanderingSoul OP ,

I hear what you’re saying, but im the guy who doesn’t call in sick for the sake of taking a couple of days off.

Our sickness is monitored, and 1 of the guys who rang in sick is apparently being moved on soon because of his poor sickness.

How perfectly moon fits between earth and the sun is one of the weirdest things about our solar system for me.

BluesF ,

Especially because it hasn’t always and it won’t forever. Humanity’s existence just happens to coincide with the period of amazing eclipses.

@aeharding@vger.social avatar

Yep this. Call in sick, quit, max out your credit, go halfway around the world, do literally whatever is needed to be done to see a total eclipse if you haven’t been able to experience it yet. It’s unreal.

Trainguyrom ,

From what I’ve seen of future eclipse maps, it’ll probably be a very long time before I get to see another eclipse at totality

It’s pretty fantastic, but not that good.

Honytawk ,

You kidding?

There is loads of space between the Earth and the Sun to fit the Moon.

Phobos is this big and still not round? Uh, what was the name, the size where stone behaves like a liquid. Well, Phobos doesn’t have that yet?

vithigar ,

Phobos is tiny. It’s just very close compared to our moon. 9500km as compared to our 384000km.

MonkderVierte ,

Ah, thanks! Also, Phobos is fast!

And the sun looks smaller from Mars because it’s further away, making Phobos seem bigger

Live_your_lives ,

I believe you are looking for hydrostatic equilibrium. There don’t seem to be good answers for this online, but according to Robert Black on this Quora post:

There isn’t a minimium per se but the generally accepted number for a mass to form into a sphere under its own gravity is 1/10,000th the mass of the Earth or 600 quintillion kg. As for size, it really depends on the composition of the body. The numbers are generally accepted to have a diameter of about 600km for a rocky body.

A quintillion is 1 x 10 to the 18th and Phobos has a mass of 1.0659 x 10 to the 16th kilograms and a diameter of 22 kilometers.

MonkderVierte ,

Yes that, thanks!

Kerb , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?
@Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

afiak the prase “i use arch btw” is mostly sarcasm,
instead of genuine appreciation.

its mocking the stereotype of arch users that constantly bring it up to sound smart or feel supperior.

think of arch like “vintage car culture” with a touch of minimalism.
its restricting and breaks all the time,
but thats kinda the point because fixing it becomes a part of your lifestyle.

nous ,

I use it precisely because it doesn’t break all the time and is less restricting… Don’t know where you got the idea it is not.

cupboard ,

I also feel like it "breaking all the time" was part of the stereotype itself. I stopped using Arch because it was stable for almost 3 years and part of the point of using it in the first place was learning Linux by fixing stuff that broke - except that stuff never broke so I grew bored of it.

Norodix , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

I also felt a little underwhelmed, I thought the installation would be more difficult.

If you are not in it for the memeing I find it to be a great distro.

@vort3@lemmy.ml avatar

I think any person with ability to read and follow instruction can install arch in 15 minutes (excluding waiting for things to download), there is nothing special about it.

RightHandOfIkaros , to nostupidquestions in How Do You Explain to a Fully Grown Adult That Constantly Mocking Others' Appearance (Even on TV) is Toxic Behavior?

This question is basically asking:

“How do you control someone else’s actions?”

The simple answer is you don’t. A person will act or think however they are going to, whether you like it or not. If its something that bothers you, spend less time around that person.

ilovecheese OP ,
@ilovecheese@feddit.uk avatar

No it’s not. It’s how to help someone recognize toxic traits and hope they want to stop.

If they were to see that behavior as toxic but wish to continue with it anyway, that’s fine. It just won’t be around me any more.

Rhynoplaz ,

But the complicated answer is: everybody’s actions are being controlled by someone else all the time.

Jimmycrackcrack ,

Yes but by that logic, all interaction and advice is basically attempting to control someone else’s actions. For example your comments literally tells the OP to do something different than their intention, defying your own prescription that autonomy is completely sacrosanct above even the attempt to influence someone in any form.

There’s a balance that’s struck and that’s how we are able to respect one another and live in a society. There are few if any circumstances where it’s permitted to force anyone to do something, but to affect one another’s actions through persuasion is simply an integral part of being human. If the only options available to us when the people around us do anything we don’t like is to either tolerate it, or cut ties, life would become impossible.

It’s in the freaking rainwater, of course it’s everywhere that requires water, touches water or eats anything that uses water. Good luck finding anything but rocks without PFAS.

Sounds optimistic, are you saying water doesn’t touch rocks?

thingsiplay , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

Yes, and that’s the point of Archlinux. It’s nothing special, at least in the way it is configured. You make it special. You build your distribution more or less. You are the opinionated one, not the distribution. I think what people are “obsessed with Arch” is, that you have to manage it yourself and you build it yourself. It is the philosophy that is appealing I guess. In example not much is automated. Stuff is described in the wiki and community and it is expected that you learn the stuff and understand and then do it yourself, instead relying on automated and preconfigured stuff from a regular distro.

On my main system I use EndeavourOS, which is basically Arch, but with some pre-configs and opinions, and comes with some automation tools.

B0rax , to asklemmy in Asking for Laptop Recommendation – Offline GPU

Why a laptop? Sounds like a stationary application?

Maybe look into workstation laptops, they tend to have more video memory (which you need for local AI)

AdNecrias ,

This… You haven’t listed a need for mobility (though I assume this is a machine you just take somewhere where you won’t have Internet).

Because of heat dissipation constraints any cpu or gpu you have on your laptop with be both more expensive and less powerful.

So my advice is spend half you were going to spend on a desktop rather than their portable machine, if you’re not going to use its portability.

The Try Channel. Super funny Irish individuals trying food & alcohol. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCabq3No3wXbs6Ut-Pux6SzA/videos
Kirsten Dirksen. She is a filmmaker that has many videos on tiny homes, micro apartments, sustainable gardening and so much more. She travels the world to film. https://www.youtube.com/user/kirstendirksen/videos

SeaJ ,

I love that most of the people from the original channel (I think it was Facts.) came back to the Try channel.

Zier ,
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

I love these people, I watch every video even if I hate the subject of it because sometimes it goes off the rails with humor.

Shareni , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

Nobody’s raving about the install, that’s just useful for people who don’t know what makes a Linux distro.

It becomes your personality after a few years because every update might break anything, and you need to regularly maintain random shit. Also if you forget to update regularly, the chance of everything crapping out rises exponentially.

I hope you’re using something like btrfs, because rollbacks are a must.

octopus_ink ,

Sorry you’ve had such a rough go, just remember your experience isn’t everyone’s experience.

Shareni ,

Sure, and not every arch user ends their comments with btw.

But that was consistent across multiple years, devices, and derivatives. It’s usually a 5 min fix/workaround, but it’s still annoying.
