Th4tGuyII, to piracy in Amazon and Tolkein Estate force author to destroy all copies of his work. Only pirated copies will survive.

Going after the copyright holder for infringing on your work, which by merely existing commercially infringes on their copyright, is one hell of a way to get sued out the arse...

Having said that, it is a crime that LOTR still hasn't entered the public domain yet.

Th4tGuyII, to lemmyshitpost in What do *you mean things so small we can't see them with the human eye? Are you crazy?

The fucked up part is that barely a decade after his death - thanks to the efforts of Louis Pasteur - Semmelweis's work went from so controversial they condemned him to his death, to becoming the basis for the field of aseptics

Th4tGuyII, to upliftingnews in 8 years and still meeting for Thanksgiving

Damn - Why does everything have to become a hustle or business opportunity? Why couldn't a wholesome accidental friendship just stay that way?
God I hate the influence hustle culture has had on the internet.

The answer realistically is determined by where you place implicit multiplication (or "multiplication by juxtaposition") in the order of operations.

Some place it above explicit multiplication and division, meaning it gets done before the division giving you an answer of 1

But if you place it as equal to it's explicit counterparts, then you'd sweep left to right giving you an answer of 9

Since those are both valid interpretations of the order of operations dependent on what field you're in, you're always going to end up with disagreements on questions like these...

But in reality nobody would write an equation like this, and even if they did, there would usually be some kind of context (I.e. units) to guide you as to what the answer should be.

Edit: Just skimmed that article, and it looks like I did remember the last explanation I heard about these correctly. Yay me!

Who would've thought a sector with gold flowing through its hands would be so stingy when it comes to updating their backend that they'd end up relying on a dying language, and call upon AI to update it for them rather than just paying a competent team to create and rigorously test a new backend in a modern language

Th4tGuyII, to lemmyshitpost in Shitty deal
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

You can only hope these were cleaned after their last use

Th4tGuyII, to linuxmemes in Need to switch to Hanna Montana Linux now
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

While I'm not bothered by this in particular, like other people have said, it feels like the top of a very slippery slope that I would be bothered by

Th4tGuyII, to memes in Shit would have gone down differently on the biggest continent, just sayin'.

I also find it odd that his best chance of going to prison isn't even related to the fact he tried to stage a coup.
Any other person, it would've been treason and locked up for life (if not a death sentence) for even trying - no question needed.

Th4tGuyII, to memes in You have more fun with the FPS counter off
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

If I had to choose, I'd take a solid 30 FPS over a constantly stuttering 60 FPS any day, because stuttery frames can completely ruin your immersion.

Th4tGuyII, to comicstrips in Reject modernity, embrace tradition!
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

I'm scared to ask, but what is a "situationship"?

Th4tGuyII, to memes in What a difference a decade can make
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

I don't think it's so much that people have gotten dumber, there's always been dumb folk, but the age of social media has made them less fearful of looking stupid.

It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.

Th4tGuyII, to programmer_humor in 4 billion if statements
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

There's not a single thing in this universe that cannot be accomplished with enough IF statements... as long as you've got infinite time to wait

Th4tGuyII, to comicstrips in Aaaah!

The worst she can say is no:

Because we're becoming increasingly like the US, where half of the country (or at least those who actually turn out to vote) are hellbent on voting for a party that doesn't give a single shit about their needs, just as long as they drivel out some racist shit now and again.

As @breadsmasher said, “Torys fucking the country? Better vote for them again!”

Th4tGuyII, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Of the tens of thousands of lies told, I wish this one was true...
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

Who could've known he'd end up doing the exact opposite of what he said by desperately trying to cling to power, even going so far as to try to coup the government
