Well thankfully they’ll be easy to defeat.

I have firefox and ublock and they’re not always working, so I just open the video url in any video player that supports it. In potplayer I just copy the video url and use ctrl+v in the main video window and it opens with no issues.

If we’re just trying to make a proportional change, then the area formula is all you need, since we can assume the height should be roughly the same between them.

It really should be a simple calculation. In fact, you don’t even need pi, since that’s a common factor. All you need is the ratio between diameters squared.

If you want to go from 12" to 16" recipes, you take (16/12)^2 ~= 1.8

So just multiply all the amounts by that factor and it should be about right. If it’s not, adjust it a bit for next time.

The overlap between people who love trains and people who are good at engineering is pretty high though.

Memes. They hijack pop culture and turn it into a dogwhistle, like if you’ve seen people randomly saying “is that a jojos reference?” underneath some worryingly bigoted comment on youtube, they’re trying to indicate that they’re a fellow right wing asshole. For a long time “subscribe to pewdiepie” was used. Both references had some nazi connection, like jojos had a nazi character, and pewdiepie flirted with nazi stuff in a deniable way.

The point is that it’s silly and innocuous so that if anybody tries to call it out then they can just gaslight them and point out how silly it is, and they’re clearly making something out of nothing.

“Gay coated” is just an amazing eggcorn that I have never heard before.

So eggcorns are misheard phrases that are then reinterpreted in a way that still makes sense in context, and that video makes the point that they’re not actually wrong, and sometimes they can compete with the original phrase.

The original term is “gay coded”, as in the creators have used commonly recognised “code” to signal that the characters are gay.

But I actually love the idea that they’re just slathered in the gay, just lubed up head to toe.

Never apologise for gay coating.

I’d say they’re different to bone apple tea because that’s a nonsense phrase whereas these could conceivably stand in for the original.

Eggcorn in particular has somewhat replaced acorn in a region of the US where those words sound the same, and the reason it’s not wrong is because it is a corn - a seed - and it does have an egg shape in it, so “eggcorn” is descriptively accurate.

This was the original concept for R2-PO.

Pirated video games SOURCE CODE

So there are multiple sites&groups that pirate video games especially on PC. I was wondering if there are places on the internet where you find source code for games especially the highly modifiable ones like Half Life 2/Portal and Skyrim. Or groups that crack into the source code of games (or even software in general), not only...

I was once at a talk by someone in that company and he straight up said that open sourcing it was a mistake. I assume because that meant they couldn’t sell us a thousand versions of it like Skyrim.

No word of whether its ongoing popularity was at all caused by open sourcing it.

It botheres me that it’s -59% and not -69%.

It’s not because 69 is all that funny, but because it’s not very funny. It was a low effort joke that Elon dragged into the toilet and pissed all over, so it belongs in there with the rest of them.

“Fewer” is correct, but it’s wrong to correct “less” to “fewer”. Why? Because language isn’t dictated by an authority, it is negotiated through billions of interactions every day.

People say “less” to refer to countable objects and nobody is confused by it, so it is valid communication. Just because you had some English teacher mark you down for it in middle school doesn’t mean it’s wrong. You were just miseducated.

Even if we’re talking about strict technical semantics, 5 is less than 7. The < symbol is not called the “fewer than” symbol. “Less” can encompass the concept of “fewer”, so either is fine.

Does it change its name to “fewer than” when it is used for whole numbers?

That’s rhetorical, we all know it doesn’t.

What I don’t understand is how you thought that that observation was meaningful in any way. I already said the concept of “less” encompasses “fewer”, so the “less than” symbol being used where “fewer” is also appropriate completely agrees with that idea, doesn’t it?

“Let me answer that question with an entirely nonsensical question and also downvote you like a petulant child.”

Useless. I can’t have a conversation with this.

Funnily enough I just got done with his video about the “nukes aren’t real” conspiracy theory. Of course that’s just one in his long Half Life Histories series which is mainly about the science and not conspiracies at all.

You’re fucking the guy, he likes his name being said and it turns you off? How’d you get to that point? You don’t have a nickname? I don’t care if your name is Rumplestiltskin, if you want me to say your name I am making deep eye contact and saying it and I will mean it. I will moan it. Nothing is better than knowing what my partner wants so I can give it to them.

Normalise following orders like a good sub.

Thanks, I’ve learned a few new terms after going back and editing that, there’s a bit more detail in it now.
