lolcatnip,

I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone refer to the 2020s as the 20s. I’ve kind of been waiting for it.

lolcatnip, (edited )

The letter shapes are a lot nicer and they can all be written easily with a single stroke. IPA is really ugly IMHO.

lolcatnip,

No Blue Steel?

lolcatnip,

Not sure if amused or horrified.

lolcatnip,

Multivectors.

lolcatnip,

Except temperature degrees aren’t related angle degrees. You’d be using a pun as a unit conversion.

lolcatnip,

Fancy a bit of jolly cooperation?

lolcatnip,

If it works it works. I just never would have thought to do it that way.

lolcatnip,

Right, but why bring theta into it at all? TV screens are as a hypotenuse (a²+b²) with a fixed ratio (a/b=16/9), so you just need to solve for a and b.

lolcatnip,

Right?

lolcatnip,

I don’t have an opinion on Linux as a banking platform, but that analogy is bad. An Xbox can play 100% of games made for the same generation of Xbox hardware. If Linux can’t play close to 100% of the games released for PC hardware for at least a few years after the hardware was new, then it’s a substandard option. That was the case until pretty recently.

lolcatnip,

If you’ve previously identified one side as consisting of pathological liars, it’s best to ignore whatever they say because the more you hear from them, the more likely you are to accidently believe one of their lies. It takes a lot of vigilance to listen to a bunch of plausibly-true statements without misremembering some of them as being true.

lolcatnip,

I just think it’s odd that such a long-outdated term is still in use. Something about it being more specific than “tape” makes it more weird to me.

lolcatnip,

Oh, the horror!

lolcatnip,

But $(date) does return a string with spaces, at least on every system I’ve ever used. And what’s so bad about the possibility of spaces in filenames? They’re slightly inconvenient in a command line, but I haven’t used a commuter this century that didn’t support spaces in filenames.

lolcatnip,

Would’ve been better to say Blackhawk instead of helicopter. I would’ve gotten the joke a lot faster, at least.

lolcatnip,

One rule of thumb I discovered when doing research about a year ago is that AMD chips are generally way better than Intel chips when it comes to power consumption.

lolcatnip,

Saying taxes pay for cuts to someone else’s taxes is nonsensical in this context. No money is spent on tax cuts.

lolcatnip,

The title is a reference to Rogue One.

lolcatnip,

Sounds like the NPR model of funding. Even if you can get everything else to work, you still have a couple of weeks every year when you can’t go anywhere without having to stop and listen to Nina Totenberg lecture you 20 minutes about how important it is for everyone to pitch in as much as they can afford.

lolcatnip,

Easier said than done if you ever want to eat out. So I just tip and grumble about it.

lolcatnip,

Some of us can’t downvote.

lolcatnip,

I live with four other people. The two of us over 40 use Android and the others use iOS.

lolcatnip,

Ooh, name calling! Based on a willful misinterpretation of what they said, too. A sure sign of a solid argument!

lolcatnip,

For all things brown and sticky?
