Mass-shooting is just a lack of precision and the excess of ammunition.

NarrativeBear, in I'm trying to think of something more stupid than this but it's not easy...

Just because I like to see the world burn I would clear the inbox/sent folders each time a email is received.

Maybe start to draft emails with nonsense in them, such as shopping lists of items that don’t make sense together. A list of all the best bathrooms on campus. List of students in class based on height.

Would not hurt to subscribe the email address to a bunch of junk/spam/marketing sites.

Nah, I’d sign up for cat memes or something, then set up filtering rules to delete everything except for the cat memes. If they’re dumb enough to think the shared inbox is a good solution, they might not know about filters.

I have no idea if this is meterhertz or millihertz

TeckFire, (edited )

nHz is Nanohertz 1/1,000,000,000 Hz (Billionth)

µHz is Microhertz 1/1,000,000 Hz (Millionth)

mHZ is Millihertz 1/1,000 Hz (Thousandth)

Hz is Hertz 1 Hz (Base Unit, one per second)

kHz is Kilohertz 1,000 Hz (Thousand)

MHz is Megahertz 1,000,000 Hz (Million)

GHz is Gigahertz 1,000,000,000 Hz (Billion)

THz is Terahertz 1,000,000,000,000 Hz (Trillion)

I suppose there are probably more that I’m not aware of, but I hope this clears it up.

kuberoot,

Pretty sure kilo is lowercase, actually.

TeckFire,

Son of a bitch, you’re right lmao

psud,

Big K is Kelvins for temperature

TeckFire,

Kelvinhertz

psud,

Sufficient Kelvins do hurt, I guess

frunch,

Can Hertz be imperial or are they strictly metric?

psud, (edited )

RPM (revolutions per minute) is an old rotational measure

But the second is the same in both systems so I wouldn’t be surprised if America called revs per second “Hertz”

Phil_in_here,

I think there’s something like 43/500ths of a Bigole Hertz to a regular Hertz; but that’s if you’re using English Bigoles. I think it’s 43.9/500ths for a US Bigole.

FiniteLooper,

I usually just rent from Enterprise. They pick you up!

lolcatnip, (edited )

I’m American and I’ve never seen any other unit used for frequency unless you count adjectives like “daily”.

Amir,
@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

No, that absolutely does not resolve the confusion between meter (m) and milli (m)

unlucky,

By convention, compound SI units (e.g. N•m) are separated by a space or multiplication dot and are not just smashed together. The lack of such a separator in the above example implies the “milli” prefix.

psud,

Standing alone ‘m’ is metre.

With a decimal modifier ahead of it, ‘m’ is metre

Immediately before a symbol it is milli (one thousandth)

mm - the first m is before the metre symbol, it is the milli multiplier, the second m is after a multiplier, so it is the symbol for metre

mHz - the m is before the symbol Hz (for Hertz) so it is the milli multiplier

km - the m is after the K (kilo, thousand times) multiplier, so it is metre

You probably spell metre ‘meter’, but a meter is a whole different word in English

TeckFire, (edited )

I feel like a dumbass

I totally read your comment as “Megahertz or Millihertz”

Now I realize it should just be Meters•Herts or m•Hz

suzune, (edited )

No one uses millihertz and neither meterhertz. If you want to do it correctly the first one would be acceptable for milli as scale. The second one would need to be written as m • Hz.

rockerface,

yes

I’ll have a Loaded Nacho Triple Cheeseburger with extra chili on top. Actually make it two of those. Oh and a small chocolate frosty.

funkless_eck, in I'm trying to think of something more stupid than this but it's not easy...

my wife is a university senior lecturer — it’s likely they already have a system that can do this, that they have access to, works, and is non-technical; all they need to do is ask where it is.

kureta, (edited )

I went back to university last year and exactly this. They have Microsoft subscription with all the bells and whistles, classroom, work material, homework, etc.

edit: I guess I just ADHDed in the middle of writing this comment. it was supposed to continue:

… zoom and all its options, plus a custom classroom web app that replicates some of Microsoft’s stuff and all professors use WhatsApp for everything, and email only for delivering finals papers.

VaultBoyNewVegas,

I think it was blackboard that was used when I went to a further education college years ago. It supported announcements on it. I would imagine a university having similarly software as one of the reasons for blackboard was so we uploaded our assignments to it.

Thrashy,
@Thrashy@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know if it’s any better than it used to be, but Blackboard was pretty universally loathed by the faculty when I was in college.

ShunkW,

Dude I hated it as a student too. The only benefit it provided was a one time get out of jail free card per class. Intentionally corrupt a word doc and upload it. You just bought yourself at least a day to continue finishing your paper.

dingus,

You have to admit, it’s still better than having a singular email address that everyone has the login to.

Sky_Lobster, in I'm trying to think of something more stupid than this but it's not easy...

Seems like it might be time to change the password on that email address. You know, for security reasons. 🤔

NightAuthor, in Piers Morgan gets owned

I’ve had easier times watching Fox News segments.

RememberTheApollo_, in Community note pointing out fake news once again 🫡

This stuff is back again? A year or two ago FB and the like was littered with spammers posting fake news that some celeb or other had died or met some tragedy to get people to click it. This stuff is annoying as heck, there’s plenty of spammers, but for some reason this particular brand seems very ubiquitous.

skulblaka,

It’s because the sites refuse to police misinformation in any form. You want attention on that, you have to say something that someone in charge of that cares about. Falsely reporting their death is an easy, legal and fun way to make a content moderator or site owner or CEO pause and say “hey wait a minute”

slartibartfast,

Musk is not going to reflect on his actions. He’ll scream, cry, and shid himself before banning them and posting a rant about lying liberals.
