*Gasp in Anime* That’s impossible!!

This guy seems to think it’s equivalent to “by magic”.

I bring a portable screen from home, bringing me to a total of 4 with the laptop screen.

But I just like lots of monitors

There being absolute fucks doesn’t imply positive and negative fucks though.

It implies we’ve set a point to measure against which we call zero fucks.

Perhaps there’s an absolute zero fucks which can never be reached.

Until I used spell check I wasn’t even 100% sure this spelling was made up

Oh, I never knew this was a thing (also Voyager user), thanks!

\ is the escape character in markdown. Gotta do a double \ and then another \ for the underscore

Probably whoever was writing this in plain text didn’t know about the superscript numbers in unicode ³.

Somehow I’ve seen it written as cum multiple times in my line of, and never registered it haha

Context is a hell of a drug

I’ve always hated “incompressible” when talking about fluids. It’s just shorthand for: doesn’t compress much under pressure.

In engineering unless you’re dealing with insane pressures, when something is “incompressible”, assuming it is is good enough.

But it’s still misleading so I don’t like it haha

As a native English/German speaker, this sign just makes so much sense. Very onomatopoeic. I love it

Speed Bump just doesn’t hit as hard

Tangential: my friends made fun of me when I pronounced every syllable in phenolphthalein including the “f” of the second ph.

Skill issue

I hear you but what cranked it up to 1000?

I unfortunately am not versed enough in the topic to give a full answer on this, I’d guess upbringing, then personal experiences?

I suppose it’s similar to people who are arseholes in general.

Sorry for the very underwhelming answer haha

Personal experience from when I was newly an adult, and chatting with a female university classmate and somehow got on the topic of games and I started explaining what Steam was, because I just subconsciously assumed, her being a woman, didn’t know.

She politely pointed out I had mansplained to her.

I am very thankful to her for the experience as it’s stuck with me and saved me from making a fool of myself on more than one occasion since.

I’m sure there are possibly small things like this, that you may have been been “guilty” of in the past.

These men, are engaging in similar behaviour cranked up to 1000.

However, it’s even more malicious with them, because it’s not like the last 30 years or so haven’t had constant and increasing messaging (in the anglosphere, at least) about feminism and ways in which women have been treated unfairly.

So, it’s not like they haven’t had the opportunity to reflect, and change.

In summary, yeah, it is kind of baffling, but I will say society, while largely better than 30 years ago, still does have structural as well as conscious and unconcious bias towards women.

So I’m not surprised people like this exist.

REEEE MM/DD/YYYY Burn it with fire

It’s cursed because if you’re not gonna use metric, then don’t use it.

Do drams per pound of body weight or something like that. Still cursed because it’s not metric, but less so.

Or do the thing that’ll make everyone* happy, just use metric.

(*me, personally)

Moles are somewhat cursed, but we do need some standard number of molecules, else all our chemistry would be in insanely large numbers. May as well make it something related to the gram.

Though, in fairness, I will grant, it’s one of the less metric-y units out there since atomic weights aren’t perfect round numbers anyway, other than carbon.

Perhaps we could have standardised a mole as 1x10¹⁰ molecules. Ah well

I did this today while in excel. I knew what would happen. Call of the void. The undefined void.

As someone who prefers not to drive where possible, and in a country where manual for regular cars is not common, why do people think manual is so great?

Gives you some more control on your gears, sure. But heck, the only time I ever, ever need it is going up or down very steep hills - for which there are low gear settings on most cars which you can switch on for those moments.

For most people, it’s just a massive waste of time to learn, when an engineered solution already exists and presumably doesn’t add significant enough cost to be worth not having it (I assume, because of the lack of demand, here).

Is it just, for the “love of driving”? Okay fair enough, but that’s your hobby then, not sure why we need to like it also

In any case, do enlighten me because I don’t get it haha

Old man yells at cloud these damn Americans using “ironic” when they mean “sarcastic”

I honestly wonder what these sorts of jobs are. I feel like I have barely any reason to use AI ever in my job.

But this may because I’m not summarising much, if ever

AI can’t think, and how long emails are people writing to ever make the effort of asking the AI to write something for you worth it?

By the time you’ve asked it to include everything you wanted, you could have just written the damn email
