a surgical staff

That is not a group of medical professionals, that is a wizard’s stick with amputation powers!

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

They won’t either way. You’ll wake up in a hospital room terribly confused and barely able to move. Most of the operating staff will not see you then.

Not a one-liner. You better start this one as soon as you’re rolled into the room.

My instructor was Mr Langley and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it, I can sing it for you.

It’s called “Daisy”.

♪ Daisy, Daisy
♪ Give me your answer, do,
♪ I’m half crazy
♪ All for the love of you
♪ It won’t be a stylish marriage
♪ I can’t afford a carriage
♪ But you’ll look sweet
♪ Upon the seat
♪ Of a bicycle built for two.

Hopefully, the anesthesiologist has seen 2001: A Space Odyssey. You’ll go down about halfway through.

The scene (spoilers for 2001) • Cleaner copy of the song to learn the melody from
No need to try for a computery voice, the oxygen mask will obfuscate it enough.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I hope they’re not one of those fascism-leaning “centrists”

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Top left tenant just gave up

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Whose arm is that behind the blueberry porridge machine?

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I regularly use apps that haven’t been updated for longer, and 20-year-old PC programs. The worse thing is if old versions are purposefully deprecated too early, I don’t have Play Store.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

You are not 100% alone. I technically have a smartphone but use it as a mini (5") tablet. My SIM is in a feature phone because greedy T-Mobile (Telekom in Deutschland) will not give me more than 1 MB/day for a decent price.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

You are correct. I once tried to develop a multi-platform web app and getting the touch events right was a pain. But a somewhat basic ESP32 setup website worked on mobile without extra effort.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I have doubts. Great website developers often make a half-assed app by wrapping the website in a crippled browser. The T-Mobile app is not even subtle about this, there was a URL bar in the version I last used.

ChaoticNeutralCzech, (edited )

You need one anyway for desktop users. A desktop-first website will usually be more accessible and easier to onboard, especially for infrequent users.

Example: To track a package, a certain store emailed me a button whose destination is this monster of a URL:


<span style="color:#323232;">https://labia.page.link/?link=https://order.fart.cum/cz/history/%23/lookup?orderId%3D4206913372%26lid%3DAE91DCC0397DEADBEEF42069ACAB707BE6A1800B5ACEFAC3AAC3C14159265359&amp;apn=com.labia.fart.app&amp;afl=https://order.fart.cum/cz/cs/purchases/4206913372/?lid=AE91DCC0397DEADBEEF42069ACAB707BE6A1800B5ACEFAC3AAC3C14159265359&amp;ibi=cum.labia.fart.app&amp;ifl=https://order.fart.cum/cz/cs/purchases/4206913372/?lid=AE91DCC0397DEADBEEF42069ACAB707BE6A1800B5ACEFAC3AAC3C14159265359&amp;ofl=https://order.fart.cum/cz/cs/purchases/4206913372/?lid=AE91DCC0397DEADBEEF42069ACAB707BE6A1800B5ACEFAC3AAC3C14159265359&amp;imv=1.24.0&amp;amv=2915
</span>

(Numbers and some strings were changed but the gist and 604-character length remains.)

The main function of such a long URL is to redirect desktop users to https://order.fart.cum/cz/cs/purchases/4206913372/ to see the tracking info while mobile users get directed to the app store to get an app (or view the link in the app if they have it). These are (probably) Google Firebase links and they’re absolutely terrible. While they make life slightly easier for existing app users (saves one click but only if they go through the email), this implementation makes it way harder for others to reach the content. Either you get the app, log in there and part with fucking 300 MB of storage, or if you have no mainstream App Store, storage or time, you are forced to do a workaround: Desktop Mode (that may or may not work), rewriting the URL (difficult because it’s so long and includes https: several times, may require hex-decoding), or finding a computer. All this just to check one order from a store you’ll forget about next week.

I have demonstrated that instead of just getting sent the desktop-friendly URL (and perhaps seeing a floating “Open in app” button at the destination), most users are put through extra nuisance that took effort to implement. Sure, some customers are frequent enough to use the app while most are happy with a website but once the business invests in the app, they will absolutely make sure everyone is pushed there despite it being less convenient for both parties.

That depends on what kind of service you provide.

Games more complex than 2048, video calls? Sure.
Short video platform? Maybe.
Commerce? Absolutely not.

ChaoticNeutralCzech, (edited )

Sure, go to labia.fart.cum. But you’ll only get the full Fart.cum^®^ experience with the Fart Labia™ app!

Still, it’s storage and heckin’ executables on your device. Everyone should get an option to use a website, even if just a poorly laid-out one, unless the vast majority of users only interact in a way that only works with local executables (like video calls). You should not need an app to check an IKEA order status on your phone (yes, they do that, see my other comment).

And I’m aware that video calls on some platforms can - and do - work in browsers but I won’t blame anyone who rejects their boss’s proposal to create a video call app in HTML/CSS/JS.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

This old guy gets to Heaven, walks up to the Pearly Gates, and there’s St. Peter, checking the records

St Peter asks: “Nationality?”

-“Ruthenian”

“Place of birth?”

-“Austrian Empire”

“School?”

-Czechoslovakia

“Married in?

-“Hungary” “Children born in?”

-“Third Reich”

“Grandchildren born in?”

-“USSR”

“Died?”

-“Ukraine”

St Peter exclaims: “Well, I must say, you got around a bit!”

Little guy: “Not so much. We never left Mukachevo.”

No, I’m too ugly. AI says I look like this and I’m not much prettier IRL. But the number of fake (hidden fee) taxis, Fake Taxis and fake Fake Taxis is larger than the number of honest taxis.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I know. Hence quotation marks.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Which is made even more confusing by British “countries” (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇯🇪).

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I don’t think you are eligible for diplomatic immunity if you are a citizen. He might choose not to extradite himself but he plans a visit in 2024.

I think he either voted for Sérgio Massa, whom he supported publicly, or symbolically cast a blank ballot. The other options are to declare that he was ill or 500 km from the nearest polling place, or pay a 50-500 peso fine. None of these are off-limits for somebody with a good diplomatic position and a large amount of staff.

Argentina is the country whose citizenship you cannot legally lose (though dual citizenship is permitted), and they have mandatory* voting. So the Pope is still a citizen of Argentina and did vote or faced charges. I don’t think they allow exceptions.

  • Edit: Not quite true. See replies.
ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Yes. I just listed the legal options I found. The law and its enforcement are different things: most domestic non-voters are not punished either, and they are likely going to let him pass even without a formal excuse; it would harm their reputation to be that petty.

Caught my landlord reading this
Land of Big Numbers – Te Ping Chen

What do I do?

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Depends if your siblings are old enough to operate a camera

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Too bad no shade of blue is left for the sea (even white clashes somewhat)

ChaoticNeutralCzech,
