Sanyanov,

It’s a trap

Sanyanov,

You just kindly described why no one ever should use Vim :D

Using xyzbdvefsisgshs to copy-paste a line is not the level of convenience someone expects from a modern tool

Sanyanov, (edited )

Fahrenheit’s hometown is certainly the metric everyone should use /s

Celsius is not arbitrary, it is based on objective physical reality, and the only arbitrary thing about it is atmospheric pressure, which is more or less equal on the sea level. The rest is us finding convenient patterns, not the other way around. 0-40 is not a scale, it’s an arbitrary range and adaptation of Celsius to subjective feelings of hot and cold - one that you ironically need for Fahrenheit, too. Actual thermometers normally go -50°C to +50°C.

On sub-zero, it is the same idea: -5°C is a weather for a light winter jacket, -15°C is a weather for a heavy winter jacket, -25°C is for heavy jacket and some pullover, etc etc.

The 0-40 argument demonstrates that we don’t need some arbitrary scale based on Fahrenheit’s recording in his hometown in order to conveniently estimate temperature. The groups for each dozen of degrees are just for easy reference. 17 degrees is optional for your taste, to me it’s light jacket weather in overcast or t-shirt weather when sunny. There are no perfect temperatures for anything and anyone, and it just doesn’t make sense to get into more detail.

As per granularity, people invented decimals, but normally it’s simply not necessary to tell the difference between 17°C and 18°C, let alone between 63°F and 64°F. There are so many factors influencing the temperature feeling, and one degree ain’t one.

Seconding this.

The reason we even care is that maintaining two systems is heavily impractical and adds to confusion all around the world - simply because 4% of world’s population can’t bother to make a change.

We wouldn’t care what you use - perfect barbecue temperature scale, length unit of football field, weights in blue whales - if it wouldn’t affect the rest 96% of the world who have to decipher your blubber.

Everyone uses Celsius and metric, make a damn switch, it’s not that hard and you won’t lose anything. You only use it because you’ve used to it, there is literally nothing else to it. Everyone switched, everyone’s happy with it. Do it already.

P.S. Also, Fahrenheit is currently officially defined through Celsius, as a scale that is at 32 degrees on melting point of water (0°C), and 212 degrees on its boiling point (100°C).

Let it sink in.

Fahrenheit is modernly defined through Celsius.

Sanyanov,

Does anyone feel the difference of 1°C?

Sanyanov,

I’ve read the last sentence with the air of connoisseur

Sanyanov,

RISC-V should be fine, if price, performance, software support, and form-factors are all okay for you.

For most, it isn’t, but if you wanna go such great lenghts, I’d say you have a chance.

Sanyanov,

You might be right on that - you know, everyone faced the challenge to find the right Debian installer :D

Wow, good luck with your project!

Sanyanov,

Mental Outlaw also has the great guide explaining the install step-by-step in a great detail

That will heavily depend on the surroundings, your body, and contact points.

Also, freshwater and saltwater eels approach it differently, with freshwater ones (the ones delivering those 600-800 volts) able to give out amperage of around 0,1A.

This may not seem like much, but it is actually enough to stun and paralyze a human, and this is exactly what we see here. If there’s nobody to break the contact, the current will keep flowing for several more seconds, and then your heart will stop, with all the consequences it entails.

Sanyanov,

We do! You’re great!

Sanyanov,

In my area ethanol got literally inaccessible.

Don’t know what the hell is going on, but we survive off reserves, and save as much as we can.

Sanyanov,

Fair criticism

Sanyanov,

Fun part is, Aspergillus oryzae (fungi used to make koji) can develop into dangerous strains that release heavy toxins able to easily paralyze an adult forever.

Sanyanov,

At the same time, it’s not pronounced as “samon”

It’s either “saemon” or “semen” lol

Is English fucked? Yes, yes, absolutely yes.

Sanyanov,

Gordon Ramsay is terrible scumbag and the fact he’s a star instead of hated freak speaks a lot about society

Happy Linus took a more constructive path and worked out his anger issues

Sanyanov,

And I’m VERY sleep deprived.

Sanyanov,

Which is why I’m a DDR4 fanboy :P

Jeep, water purifier, first aid kit, katana. Wish I could take flashlight, but it’s a 5th option on the list.

No reason to take guns since rounds will be gone quickly and you’ll end up with a worthless piece of metal. Chainsaw is clunky and fuel-dependent. Fire axe is also clunky and actually not that good at chopping wood - not to mention you’ll make a lot of sounds while doing so. Machete is bad on both fronts. Crossbow - almost perfect, but bolts tend to break too.

Jeep adds to mobility, which is very handy. Fuel-dependent, but then again, with such mobility you can reach some gasoline. Doubles as a place to stay in extreme situations, without losing mobility, rendering it able to escape emergencies.

Water purifier will allow you to move on without acute diarrhea

First aid kit is a must in literally every survival situation. You should be able to prevent infections and restore mobility as quickly as possible

The core problem, as always, is communication.

If you want to vent, or gain some compassion and care, and you’re talking about your problems to a problem solver - say it.

Don’t say “I have problem A and I don’t need solutions”. Say “I know what to do with this, but it’s very frustrating and I need your support”. Yes, just like that. Admit, with words, that you want them to care for you. That’s it.

If you’re a problem solver, and you know the other person is often willing to just vent, or if you’re not completely sure your advice is wanted, ask it.

Don’t say “Just do B, problem solved”. Say “I might have some ideas on how to help you. Do you want my advice or should I just be there for you?”. And then if they want it - go for it! Don’t expect them to be ignorant of simple solutions; most likely they already thought them over, and either dismissed them for reasons not obvious to you from the first glance, or they already made it part of their plan.

Talk such things through, it will do wonders. For both of you.

Sanyanov,

No, it’s Leia-ser

Sanyanov,

Smartwatch, but without native software.

I do appreciate the extra functionality compared to regular, and the price is lower, so win-win.

I am, however, privacy-conscious and do not allow the watch manufacturer to get any of the data from the watch.

Sanyanov, (edited )

True, but if snapshots turn from first line of catastrophe response to a regular tool, this is not a good experience.

Also I believe Garuda has enabled snapshots and btrfs by default.

Sanyanov,

DD/YY/MM is the devil incarnate

Sanyanov,

This is a golden take. We seriously need to communicate it to the Left.
