I did it to impress George Bush Sr. I’m not sure he cares either.

jopepa,

Same reason W wanted to be president and same result

sunbrrnslapper,

Wait until they find out our windows have a 4th setting as well 😎

The fourth is where you accidentally put the handle diagonally and all hinges unlock except one bottom corner.

Buddahriffic,

Yeah, I came here to ask if the window falls out if you accidentally turn the handle while it’s open from the 2 to the 3.

@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

it can happen with old windows but new windows generally have a way to prevent that

Aceticon, in *intellec*

High Intelligence is like a faster CPU on a computer: if the software it’s running is crap, it will just be the same crap but faster.

pigup,

I heard of some book or something that broke society down into smart, dumb, evil, and good people and the combinations of those categories. The author’s argument was that dumb people of any sort are the most dangerous to society since they’re likely to support policies that hurt their own interests. Says you’re better off with smart people even if they’re evil lol

Aceticon,

Some years ago I came up with the theory that for high intelligence there is something like the Dunning-Krugger effect: people with just enough intelligence (above average, maybe even what I call “entry-level genius”) to notice they’re more intelligent than most people they cross paths with but not enough to understand the limits of intelligence - in terms of how much extra capability it gives, of how little it matters when thinking is unstructured, just how much people undermine their own intelligence and deceive themselves driven by their own fears and desires, and how in most areas of knowledge domain experience always trumps even the most extraordinary intelligence - thing that natural advantage of them makes them way more capable than what it actually does.

Some of the dumbest intelligent people I crossed paths with were like that: just enough above-average intelligence to feel they’re “superior” to most people but not enough to figure out that the extra CPU power they were born isn’t all-in-all that amazing an advantage, it certainly doesn’t mean they can intellectually most people in intellectual domains they themselves have little experience in, and that it by itself it doesn’t do much to help them without thinks like knowledge, structured thinking and the ability to look for, accept and correct one’s own skill-gaps, knowledge-gaps and even blindspots.

I suspect that part of the problem is that the likelihood of one such person crossing paths with the trully extraordinary intelligences (for example, an IQ of 180 or above is present in only about 1 out every 1 million people, so there is a pretty low chance to cross paths with those outside certain professional or educational environments) means many such “entry-level geniouses” run around feeling like they’re superior people, never having been disavowed of that notion by somebody who can run intellectual circles around them.

Mango, in Mommy's Choice

Ok, choice is important and right and all, but let’s not laugh at the idea of consciously dying babies.

themeatbridge,

Ok, but let’s laugh at the people who think of a fetus as a conscious baby speaking in full sentences while being snapped out of existence by Thanos.

gaifux,

Eliminate the preborn, FFS we’re overpopulated. Yeah it’s a conscious baby- so what?

gaifux,

As a proud leftist and Democrat I’m happy to be honest here: consciously dying babies is hilarious

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

As someone who had a baby- they’re not conscious of much for many months.

HenchmanNumber3,

About 90% of abortions are performed before 12 weeks, well before the fetus could even look like a post-birth baby like the one depicted in the meme. This is a common tactic of anti-choicers to depict abortion as being performed on fully formed and almost born fetuses. They try to use edge cases to argue against unrelated and more common experiences. Fetuses aren’t conscious or sentient or viable when most abortions are performed. Don’t let them get away with disingenuously conflating those concepts and milestones.

chellomere,

That baby doesn’t even look newborn, it looks like it’s been born for months

They look like a tablespoon of strawberry jam.

Source: I’ve assisted in quite a few abortions.

…apologies if I just ruined strawberry jam for you.

flicker,

…now I want an English muffin with some strawberry jam. But also I want to purchase, open, and put the jam on it myself without ever breaking eye contact with the jar so as to avoid accidentally injesting not jam.

Ironically I am all three, at different times:-P (as I suspect we all are - perhaps the trick being how honest we are about when each one applies)

JayDee, (edited )

I get what you mean, but realistically I don’t end up investing gratuitous amounts of time into anything - and even if I did I’d probably fuck it up and draw incorrect conclusions.

That’s why I depend heavily on Cunningham’s Law and Google.

OpenStars,
@OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

Hrm, so am I supposed to correct you here? Hehe.

Okay I’ll bite: maybe using Google is relative, as in if everyone around you does no research at all while you do some, then you are ahead of that curve.

Ironically I’m always in the middle.

I have come to the point of linux and server management that I could consider my self the right one but I just can’t bring my self to accept that. ( use gentok as main os, hosts 20 diff services on a server )

crony,

Don’t know really about that. I have been using linux for about 5 years and have been hosting stuff for year and half now.

Still consider myself a newby in all of that.

I think my brain mashed two replies, one being yours, together and I thought it sounded snobby, now reading it again, it turns out I’m an asshole

I really liked those windows when I was visiting Europe.

We have them in the UK as well. Makes a very useful fire escape.

AFKBRBChocolate, in Presidential fitness test

I still have my presidential physical fitness award. I’m old, mine is signed by Nixon. It’s a very official looking certificate with a patch that I put under the glass in the frame. Back when I used to hang my work awards on my office wall, I used to have that one in with them. Most people didn’t ever notice, but every once in a while someone would be looking at them and I could always see the exact moment they realized what it was.

AngryCommieKender,

Mine’s signed by Clinton.

AFKBRBChocolate,

More admirable but not as funny

corsicanguppy,

Is that the same flex as the “I ate a grilled-cheese in Woolworth’s” badge of honour?

AFKBRBChocolate,

I don’t think I know the reference, but it sounds equivalent.

jopepa, in Presidential fitness test

Did you know all of those sit and reach boxes were manufactured by Halliburton? Follow the money…

jettrscga,

How much could a box cost? $10k?

corsicanguppy,

We were poor rural Canadians. Our sit-and-reach used a wooden ruler and a blocky wood scrap.

RizzRustbolt,

Bozo! I fuckin’ knew it!

Your reign of ping-pong terror stops now!

jopepa,

Honk Honk! Burst of confetti and a red balloon remains. It floats but doesn’t rise, though the string is attached to nothing.

gibmiser,

Man, I had to go check it just in case.

stratosfear,

Did you find the proof? I gave it a half-effort on mobile and didn’t succeed…

dependencyinjection,

And?

jopepa,

Was it Lockheed Martin?

EvacuateSoul,

In Civil Air Patrol they just screwed a ruler into a box.

Anticorp, in Choose carefully

Hold up! Isn’t a Dyson sphere pretty low maintenance once it’s built?

JohnDClay,

I guess it would depend on the temperature resistance and how the power is transmitted. Even solar panels wear out, and the collection surfaces of a dyson sphere would be a lot higher temp. But with something that scale, I’d imagine it would be a ton of maintenance work even if was a tiny amount per area.

Unforeseen,

Yeah it’s a misconception, it’s the Dyson swarm that’s high maintenance

schema,

I mean wouldn’t you still have to maintain the electrics of a sun sized surface? I guess you could use its own power for maintenance robots…

Anticorp,

All I know is that Picard’s Enterprise found a long abandoned Dyson Sphere and it was still functional.

Fedizen, (edited )

I doubt it. A structure like that would be an enourmous engineering project pummeled by solar radiation on the inside and space debris on the outside.

JayDee,

One of my monitors is vertical for seeing more web content/code at a time, and it is also perfectly geared for this apfrication.

@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Is there a way to tell Lemmy to provide more depths of context pr use a wider content column by default? Mine only goes to like 3 and the column width is very wasted on my 1440p monitor.

Is this some sort of PE meme that I’m too Marching Band to understand?

someguy3, (edited )

Marching in the elements, while carrying an instrument, while playing, god forbid you have a wind instrument. That’s gotta be more physically gruelling than a PE class catering to the lowest common denominator.

Marching band was considered a varsity sport at my high school. Because if the golf team are considered athletes, so am I.

dejected_warp_core, in Someone make glasses that do this please.

I have a pair that kind of does this. When I put them on, the ads go away but are replaced with huge phrases like “OBEY” and “THIS IS YOUR GOD” on every building. 7/10 - improved but not blocked.

dudinax,

You’re going to have to fight OP for half an hour before they try them.

mojofrododojo,

fight the shit out of OP. and they’re gonna smash your balls.
