Rodeo, to comicstrips in Party Like you’re Forty

It’s just a lame joke bruh

Rodeo, to comicstrips in Party Like you’re Forty

from earlier army and student slang for venereal disease (“sexually transmitted disease”).

She didn’t want to bring home venereal disease and give it to her daughters?

Well, that’s good, I guess.

Rodeo, to memes in The size of a what

Unless you’re doing any kind of precision manufacturing, then it’s decimal inch notation.

Rodeo, to memes in Wanna watch a movie?

It’s a little obtuse, don’t you think? Not exactly a subtle message it’s sending.

Rodeo, to memes in *cleans room*

You’re talking about incomes, I was talking about quality of life.

You don’t need to convince me we’re underpaid. You would need to convince me that our quality of life is worse than our parents was, though.

Rodeo, to memes in *cleans room*

The quality of life worldwide has steadily been increasing since industrialization.

The quality of life of middle class white Americans has remained pretty much unchanged since the end of the second world war.

Im not going to get examples, but that’s what my point was.

Rodeo, to mildlyinteresting in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

If you go down deep enough the earth temperature is stable at 12 C. But I’m pretty sure that’s like thousands of feet down. Geothermal rigs drill 500+ meters (1600 feet) down. Having a hard time finding a source on the stable earth temp though.

I mentioned 6 feet because it’s well below the frost line where I am, but I guess in that part of Iran they probably don’t have to worry about that.

Mostly I was just wondering if you had found something on how deep those waterways were actually built.

Why only 21 inches? Soil temps aren’t stable until like 6 feet down, and then it’s closer to 12 C.

Rodeo, to asklemmy in How do I learn to detect logical fallacies in a conversation?

‘Appeal to Authority’, you can probably trust a scientific consensus about a subject in which they are all experts, but you probably shouldn’t trust an individual expert on a topic for which they are not recognized as an expert.

That in itself is the ad hominem fallacy: you need to judge the claim based on its merits, not the merits of the person making the claim.

For example when David Suzuki talks about climate change and people say “well he’s just a biologist, he’s not qualified!” That may be true but it doesn’t invalidate his statements.

Rodeo, to asklemmy in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Most of the online guides I’ve found are written under the assumption that you’re already a master at the hobby

I’ve had exactly the opposite experience lol. Most of the stuff out there is dreadfully basic, and if you want detail like scientific comparisons of the strength-weight ratios of different infill patterns, good fuckin luck. Some chum on YouTube will have some half baked experiments and that’s as good as it gets.
