Meanwhile, Dev of company C driving off a bridge, getting laid off after modernizing the 90s era codebase.

alcoholicorn,

Which is a shame, because if I could create tangible loss for Ubisoft by downloading their games, I would do nothing else until they went under.

Do you know how many carts Dukat spared from getting pushed into traffic?

alcoholicorn,

Who is that?

Lemmy.world ‘preemptively defederated Hexbear as a last resort’.

alcoholicorn,

IDK what Demetrious means, but polychronic means multiple fatal diagnoses, like when you have multiple stage 4 cancers.

On the bridge of the USS Voyager:

Janeway: What are you… Is he?

Jeffry, you’re still on the viewscreen, we can see you.

JEFFRY YOU HAVE TO END THE TRANSMISSION!

God dammit he turned off his own screen…

…

… Kim, load torpedo.

alcoholicorn,

Looks fine to me.

alcoholicorn,

Moopsy!

alcoholicorn,

They weren’t wrong about jellied eels being the only protein the working class could afford, hence why they stopped eating that crap as soon as they could afford anything else.

Beans on toast with ketchup on the other hand is as indefensible as percolated coffee; there’s easier ways to use those same ingredients to make something that isn’t awful.

alcoholicorn,

I’m just glad they didn’t call it swiss cheese

TIL: At least one Furry was prosecuted by the HUAC for fear of being part of a communist plot.

alcoholicorn,

We can infer that at least some portion of it is from your comment quietly getting downvoted to hell while nobody bothers to refute it.

alcoholicorn,

That’s what it’s from I thought it was the Event Horizon

alcoholicorn,

It’s not gonna explode though, it’ll slowly grow until it reaches out to the outer planets, then collapse into a white dwarf that will slowly cool for eons.

    Do they still teach that?

    Nobody talks like that and they(singular) has been common since the 1300s.

    alcoholicorn,

    Those other entries are all insane.

    Like OK I can understand stealing a loose hair, kinda creepy but w/e, but her shoe? Is this some kind of gaslight where she thinks nobody would steal only one shoe, so it must be around somewhere, then a week later you can be like “Hey, I found this shoe, it looks alot like your old shoes? btw, why do you keep rubarb in your shoes?” and “What/who are you getting 9 units of fresh blood from?”

    alcoholicorn,

    That seems insane to agree to, like it incentivizes the company to fire people the day before their stock is fully vested.

    alcoholicorn,

    Europeans acting smug like knowing how close to boiling the temperature is is more important than knowing how close to 100% hot out the temperature is.

    alcoholicorn,

    If it’s 0 F, it’s 0% hot out. If it’s 50 F, it’s 50% hot out, if it’s 100F, it’s 100% hot out.

    It’s a more human measurement. Who the hell knows how long a kilometer or meter is? Everyone knows what a football field looks like and a yard is 1/100th of it.

    alcoholicorn,

    It has never been literally boiling outside (except for when you’re in the middle of a forest fire or next to a lava flow).

    Besides, Fahrenheit is more scientific because it translates 1:1 to Rankine, where 0 is absolute zero.

    alcoholicorn,

    Percent of how close it is to 100% hot out.

    But in seriousness, 100 was supposed to be based on the human body temperature. When it’s above 100, it’s harder to cool yourself off.

    alcoholicorn,

    It’s based on how humans react to the heat, you need active cooling such as sweat, moving air isn’t enough above 100 degrees. 100% hot out is just a silly way of putting it.

    alcoholicorn,

    Supposedly the temperature salt freezes at, but it’s off by quite a bit. I’m not sure if it has any implications for staying warm in cold weather.

    We mostly don’t, neither do you.

    Caliber is decimalized inches

    Gauge is 1.67 over the cube root of the diameter in inches. Technically it’s derived from lbs since the number refers to the number of lead balls the width of the barrel you’d need to equal 1 lb. Eg, a 12 gauge is the width of a 1/12th lb ball of lead.

    alcoholicorn,

    A company tried that in 1999/2000, just before the dot com bust.

    You got a $500 PC for free, but were locked into a contract with an ISP and had to spend 10 hours a week on the PC, and 1/3 of the screen was ads at all times.

    We’re moving in that direction, but nothing is free.
