I know that this is serious, but it’s so bad is good.
It has become the parody of a parody, this comic has so many layers of irony that transcends politics
I remember this article… He went for a hike and didn’t tell his roommates when he would be back. He didn’t answer their calls (I’m assuming he needed some time alone), and was gone for more than 24 hours so they reported him missing. He just wanted some time away from his roommates and they put him the the national news.
Government shills exist too, Ruzzia, China, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India, US, UK, ans others have them to one extent or another. These shills operate either as members of their nations military, government, intelligence apparatus, or their state run Mafia (Ruzzia in particular on this point), or they work for contracted corporations, like the company Edward Snowden was working for when he discovered the data that he decided to whistleblow for us, Booz, Allen, Hamilton , or like Cambridge Analytica or Black Cube.
Shilling on the internet should be illegal, sock puppets are a form of social control, and an aspect of social engineering, anything that contributes to brainwashing should be made illegal to combat all the dis/misinformation and propaganda problems we see on the Internet and media.
All the “paid thinkers” I know spend their careers explaining how every ongoing problem is not their fault, and that the people above and below them should have foreseen the problems that have only just now occurred.
You can think of F as a “% hot” measurement for weather.
0 = no heat: getting dangerously cold for humans. 50 = half hot, half cold: wear long pants and a jacket. 75 = three quarters hot, getting close to t shirt weather. 100= fully hot: getting dangerous for humans.
Yes you can go over or under, but you can consider those to be extreme weather (120% hot!)
My wife told me to go look at the thermometer outside and the needle was pointing to 0. She asked “what temperature is it?” I said, “uh… there isn’t one.”
Acclimatization is a whole thing. I remember thinking 65F / 18C was cold once upon a time, then I moved north and now only bother putting on a jacket if it's below 40F / 5C or so (but now I start seriously suffering above 85F / 30 C where that used to be my ideal temp).
People who pretend certain temps are objectively not that cold or hot have never moved from one climate to another, I think. The person you replied to must be from a hot area.
Yep. I lived in the middle East and SE Asia combined for around 12 years, and while occasionally it was too much, in general I loved the heat and rarely said “its too hot”, I moved back to the UK 3 years ago, in June. Hated it, was cold all the time. Now when it’s more than 25c / 77F on a calm and clear day I’m boiling and can’t sleep at night (barely anyone in the UK has ac at home).
It really depends on what your body is acclimated to. When I lived in Texas it felt a little too cool to be t-shirt weather. Now that I’ve been living in Seattle for years, it’s safely within the realm of t-shirt weather.
Fahrenheit is designed for humans. Celsius is in love with distilled water at sea level. Kelvin and Rankine are actually useful in math, science, and engineering.
Is 0% hot no extra heat, like perfect room temp or is it zero heat, the death of all life?
What does 100% hot mean?
You arranged it for yourself to make sense of it, but no need to rationalise it. It’s only good, cause you’re used to it, or doesn’t “feel more human” than Celsius.
I’ve been in a sauna with 100°C ( what’s that? 250°F?) It’s doable, but that’s probably my personal max. So 100°C air temp is now 100%? Mmmh doesn’t really work that great.
All in all, temperature unit is just data points, the interpretation is individual. Fahrenheit is not “more suitable for humans” than any other unit.
Having used a lot of Celsius and metric in college sciences, they don’t bother me so much. But when it comes to certain applications, I’m more used to farenheight. For example temperature as it relates to human comfort.
Like I know 35 c is hot, and anything in the 40+ is miserable. But I also know I prefer temperatures to be in the 72-75 range for optimum comfort and thus have to do a bit of math if I need that in Celsius.
Fahrenheit is nice for the ten degree ranges when talking. “Tomorrow it will be in the 70s”. The entire range of the 70-79 is fairly nice and similar. Every ten degree range is meaningful and different. “Tomorrow it’s in the 90s! :(”
When I worked at Best Buy I attended two full paid meetings about the horrors of unions when the Obama administration made it easier to create a union.
They even cancelled all our in home jobs one day for an anti union meeting
Holy crap I don’t know who at Best Buy wrote all those presentations but the language they used was a master class in brainwashing. I probably would be a flat earther of they spent enough time crafting their wording 😄
Originally called Phoenix, since it was Netscape Navigator, reborn.
But Phoenix Technologies disliked that, so they renamed to a descriptive name for the same immortal bird – Firebird.
The Firebird database people would have none of that, so after a few-months gap between 0.x releases, they found the closest thing they possibly could which was not trademarked. It had nothing to do with the original name idea, fire being a weak link.
And we’ve been stuck with that stupid name for two decades.
There was a satirical addon back in this day that would change the Firefox name every time you opened it to like WaterHippo or SunJackal to make fun of this.
Welcome to the garden, just enter though the gate
Bees are making honey from the flowers that we have
We are the kind of gardners who might plant your seed
If you got money honey, you can get bouquets from me
In the garden, welcome to the garden
enjoy the sum-mum-mum-umer breeze
Welcome to the garden, please respect the rules If you flaunt 'em were going to frow, side eye you might-eh-ly And you’re a very cherished guest, who’s very cause célèbre You can taste the ripe buds, but please don’t climb the trees
Well, and the stuff on the WAN show. I don’t watch it so I only saw highlights.
The timeline as far as I can tell is non-apology on the WAN show, Gamers Nexus releases video calling out Linus on a bunch of stuff, Linus’s breakdown in the forums, the last video on LTT.
