Whatever you say kiddo
Whatever you say kiddo
20yrs ago I had to help my comp sci housemate build a website for his module. I was not a CS student.
Some things never change.
Alt: a single pane comic in which a person says to another person: "silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.
The other person says: “and quartz, of course”
The first person replies: “of course.”
The caption to the comic reads “even when they’re trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person’s familiarity with their field”
Speaking of being an old man, let me tell you:
“The future is now old man” != “The future is now, old man.”
I genuinely tripped over this sentence thanks to the lack of punctuation.
That’s not an error though, so maybe that’s what you’re after!
Sometimes I even stand up.
Yes! I got a new error!
That’s the fun part. We’re all broken in some way.
I dislike all coffee flavoured things I’ve ever tried, including ice cream and chocolates.
It tastes really bitter to me. I don’t understand how people can drink it. Tried it black, white, with sugar, without.
Love the smell of coffee beans though. If coffee tasted anything like beans smell I’d be drinking that stuff non stop.
Huh that’s interesting…I hate beer, lager and coffee, all everyday adulting things…I wonder if I have this gene.
It’s not stupid if it works
I thought in your original reply you were saying the most plausible thing was that there must be no time travel. This reply suggests otherwise, which I agree with.
More plausible than there being rules around time travel that involve not attending parties? I think not.
No it’s base 10
Not to be that guy - just to make sure you nail it perfectly next time - it’s “all your base are belong to us”
They’re essential, but they’re also numerous. The barrier to entry for a lot of these jobs is “went to school for some time” - which means pretty much everyone is qualified.
Supply and demand.
Notice how when service staff were allowed back to work, a lot of them didn’t, and that drove up zone wages.
And to be clear - I am not advocating for below living wages, nor saying that people doing these jobs are unskilled. You can tell the good from the bad, and I think everyone should be paid at least a living wage.
What are you using?
Thanks, that’s very kind!
