“Alexa, all lights off.”

Now, talk to me about going up the stairs from the basement alone…

Everyone knows that’s how the evil clown, ghost, or whatever basement demon living in your house gets you…

Grabs your ankles ands pulls you right back down…

What game is this ?

I…still cannot wrap my head around the fear of death. If you’re dead, that’s it, done, your warranty is void and all that. What to fear?

I fear consequences of my death - shit people close to me will be put through. But death itself? It’s like fearing time. Shit’s just there, always was, always will be, touches all of us and nobody can do shit bout it.

Probably dying is a better thing to fear, as that could be painful or slow. Especially in old age.

anon ,

there’s a saying in spanish, it’s not the same to call the lion than seeing it coming.

I’ll believe a stage 4 cancer survivor if they say that they don’t fear death, the rest, no so much.

Demdaru ,

Fair…though funny you mention cancer. My partner went through that and brushed with death and she has pretty much the same approach as me.

Nah, there should definitely be spikes at 30% & 70%

atocci , in It is done when it is done!

Is it actually measuring progress of anything as it’s happening, or do they just update the percentage when it passes certain milestones? So many progress bars are just straight-up lies that slowly increment a number until the real process finishes and it shoots to 100% from wherever it was at before.

There are definitely better and worse progress bar systems but there are no “good” ones.

iAmTheTot , (edited )

They do not generally reflect time passed but amount of task done.

For example, let’s say you have 100 files to configure as part of an update or installation. 99 of them are really small files that fly by, but the last one is a few gigabytes of data that needs to be configured. The bar might hang on that one really large file, then fly by the rest of the process as these files are very small and go quickly.

shoki ,

In this case the progress bar should show the percentage of processed data, but just using the amount of tasks or number of files is quicker and most often than not works fine

bountygiver ,

even then it would not be accurate, difference in file systems and storage medium would cause performance difference of processing many small files vs few large files. In TWRP when backing up, it would just straight up show you both progress and neither of them would advance linearly.

Windows update is definitely milestones. 30% is the “reboot milestone” so if it shows less, it needs to reboot to finish applying.

Wasn’t that one just a logarithmic progression?

I don’t think serial killers are scarier than sharks. I can see myself surviving an encounter with a serial killer. I cannot see myself surviving an encounter with a goddamn shark.

JayDee ,

Sure you can.

  • Look under the water.
  • oh shit a shark.
  • shark don’t give a fuck bout no human, keeps on swimmin.
  • you survived.

You could also survive a serial killer in a similar way.

“Here’s your latte, Sir.”

But also, you could take a small shark.

I love that you had such an annoying update experience that you went ahead and created 2 memes about it and postet into a total of 4 communities, only to vent your frustration. Keep going, this is great!

Posting memes keeps me from falling into a murderous rage

Wasn’t 85% the magical number?

How is the dark the least scary? In the dark, there may be a serial killer shark that looks like a clown

You’re an up an coming music artist with a song starting to gain some traction.

Super famous singer “offers” to be featured on your track

Super famous singer then hits you with a bill for that feature you obviously can’t pay

You can either take down your trending song, or sign a developmental deal with the label, where they basically own your past and future work.

“Sure! I had my lawyer write up a contract; let me send it to your people and we can go from there.”

If they’re cool, they’ll negotiate and sign a contract. “Just trust me, bro!” is never an acceptable answer. Protect yourself; have a contract before collaborating with anyone.

Like have you seen them….

They are great
