The deep sea has always been the home of nightmare fuel. Not outer space.

The ADL confirms, your comment is anti-semitic.

dankm ,

What about the pixels?

dankm ,

But does “panic” also mean “panic” in Polish?

dankm ,

Need more context: Are you also 15? If so then this might be acceptable anywhere.

But… how’d you think the got made? Had you never had a decent one at a restaurant?

dankm ,

Yup. Trans or not a girl should be allowed to wear a suit or a dress. So should a boy. As long as it qualifies as “formal” for either group it ought to qualify for the other.

dankm ,

Vista >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 11.

dankm ,

So… is it possible to afford to live there these days without being Donald Trump, JK Rowling, the King, or clergy?

dankm ,

I think you mean “dyaaadddddd…”

dankm ,

There are also ice roads in Alaska. I was going to post my favourite Canadian one, but I can’t since it’s April. Going from Soutt to North in my province takes 22 hours in the winterm and is impossible in the summer.

dankm ,

So, does this include ChromeOS? I’m not sure if I’d qualify it as either a desktop OS or “Linux” (in the traditional sense). But since there’s enough room for debate there it’s worth asking.

dankm ,

Also true, but Android is also rarely if ever considered “desktop”. ChromeOS could be, since it shares a market with Mac and Windows laptops, which also run “desktop” operating systems.

dankm ,

Well, I missed an entire paragraph, indeed it is. I read about SteamOS the first time, though.🤷

dankm ,

Anything less risks credibility.

dankm ,

What about the pin to unlock your phone? And at least here there’s no pin with tap.

dankm ,

Oldest man. IIRC the oldest woman is a few years older.

dankm ,

A meter is a device that measures things. Clearly it clears out a parking lot with 50 spots, each controlled by a square parking meter.

As far as I know, though, no Americans at all know about the metre: a unit of measurement.

dankm ,

I probably need to watch more Futurama, but wasn’t Zapp well intentioned, but completely incompetent? Only kinda fits Putin.

dankm ,

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a philips or slotted deck screw. I have and have purchased many boxes of these things and they’ve always been nearly 100% Robertson. Is this a US thing?

dankm ,

Come to Canada, most of our existing stuff is robertson, and only the really cheap new stuff isn’t.

dankm ,

Netflix has the wrong time for me half the year. Apparently they don’t believe in areas where DST isn’t a thing.

dankm ,

And who bring a Playboy mag to their university’s computer lab, and advertises their possession?

Probably a random grad student. They were just coming out of the “sexual revolution” of the 60s at that point. It’d be a lot weirder ten years earlier or ten years later.

That a similar thing did happen ten years earlier is the weird part, I think.

dankm ,

I like to measure the area of rooms in foot-metres. Square foot-metres is a great unit for volume.

Today I unironically described the length of something as “about 1 centimetre less than a foot”.

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

If it’s cold outside it usualky takes at least 10 minutes to be warm enough to keep the windshield clear, so not all of it will be walking.

dankm ,

Mine will too, when it’s reasonably warm out, but not below -15 or so. Below -30 it’s even longer, and might not keep it clear, and I need to open windows just so moisture goes somewhere other than the windshield.,

dankm ,

Now, you could get around it by calling someone “a female person” - except that we already have a word for “female person”, and that’s “woman”.

I’m going to nitpick a touch. “Female person” includes girls. “Women” ecludes them.

dankm ,

I think the Amiga boing ball looks like that ball.

dankm ,

The initial hurdle of incompetence can be extremely frustrating and almost impossible to climb, if you don’t have guidance.

Can confirm. 15 years in industry, still incompetent.

Opinion: It's Time To Ditch 2.4GHz WI-FI

2.4GHz wifi is not suitable for two big reasons, interference and low bandwidth. 2.4GHz wifi in any kind of suburban or city environment and sometimes even in rural will be congested with other networks, microwaves, other appliances, etc causing massive speed degradation or fluctuations. The range of 2.4GHz is just too large for...

dankm ,

Sounds like another plus for 5ghz to me.

dankm ,

One of the girls didn’t have any smoothie. She said he came downstairs multiple times to check if they were asleep.

Sounds fishy.

dankm ,

The only right way to slam down the phone requires an old phone with actual bells for the ringer. You know you did it right then the bells ding at you.

dankm ,

I set up FreeIPA at home. Similar in principle to AD.

dankm ,

When I was in high school only girls got pinnies on a regular basis. It was icky. Gym class was also segregated.

dankm ,

Sort of, there were only enough for one class. Boys & girls ran separately, but at the same time. We only got them if the girls weren’t using them.

dankm ,

There seemed to be some political objection to it. It was a a strange time. Definitely a problem I had that I’m glad my son doesn’t have to deal with.

dankm ,

Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!

What’s that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!

Turn hard to port! (That’s not port) Now I’ve got it!

Trust me, I’m in control!

dankm ,

Damn right! It’s somebody else’s greed! Totally different.

dankm ,

libc++ here.

Bring it.

dankm ,

That’s difficult to imagine, a cubic football field would exist in six demensional space.

dankm ,

It’s an older meme, but it checks out.

dankm ,

Yup, I’m one of about 6 people who work in my office that used to have around 100 in 2020. They all still work here, just from home. Great for me, especially with the reduced headcount. But many of my coworkers also like WFH, and I’d be first in line to threaten to leave if there was a return to office mandate.

dankm ,

At my school there was an office phone outside the office that anyone could use. No need to staff it.

dankm ,

Not without a bunch of lawyers winning.

dankm ,

Fax, like POTS has a legitimate purpose. It’s a lot easier to intercept and/or edit an email in transit than a fax.

dankm ,

Slackware went from version 4 to 7 for a similar reason. But IIRC its reason was RedHat.

dankm ,

OS/2 was great in its time. I’d very much like to see it open sourced, even though IBM has repeatedly refused.

dankm ,

A movie where two characters traded faces. One a crimelord of some sort, another an FBI dude or somesuch.

dankm ,

Boomer shooter and modern aren’t mutuallg exclusive. I liked TB’s classification: “Modern military shooter”.
