marcos,

People keep insisting Starbucks drinks have coffee on them… Here in Brazil we’d get the same amount of caffeine in a, well, we call it a coffee cup, it has something around 80ml (2oz), and good luck finding any image of it on the English-speaking internet.

marcos,

Hum… Ok.

Why does systemd have a directory of active scripts if it needs to activate the scripts on its internal configuration too?

marcos,

It wasn’t all that useful.

Instead of the battery dying and you throwing your phone away, it just happened that the battery died, and you searched for a compatible one, that either didn’t exist or cost 70% of the price of a new phone, so you threw your phone away.

Now, if you want to talk about standard battery sizes, I’m listening.

marcos,

The Perl version of it is even greater!

marcos,

Here in Brazil we have a bird that will attack anything that comes close to its nest. (That they make in low grass.)

Airports have constant swipes looking for them.

marcos,

Well, as far as we know, somebody could be hiring gorillas to punch airplane doors out of place.

    marcos,

    Anything that people use to mean “average” will evolve into meaning “bad”. There are no exceptions.

    marcos,

    Well, we could also go and fix it in the past.

    marcos,

    What happened?

    marcos,

    Well, it works in a different way than NextCloud. You don’t have a server, instead you just make a share between your computers and they are all peers.

    It takes some getting used to the idea, but it’s actually much simpler than NextCloud.

    marcos,

    Well, if you lose the OOPism of those dots, we can talk.

    Anyway, I’m really against the “having” tag. You need another keyword so that you can apply your filter after the group by?

    marcos, (edited )

    All of the people that will live forever affirm the consequent.

    marcos,

    I’m not sure if I could manage to get a paper newspaper nowadays if I went out looking for it.

    marcos,

    He only tries murder once or twice!

    marcos,

    Hum… By the end of DS9 he lives in the federation. For nearly all of it he lives in Bajor, and shortly before it he lives in the Cardassian Empire.

    Yeah, I could see the Lower Decks version of him speaking it.

    marcos,

    Says a huh-man that uses paper to trade…

    marcos,

    That “forward” would be upwards? In does that people acknowledge relativity, but won’t accept geometry or gravitation?

    marcos, (edited )

    Hum… I have a 75MJ varistor on each phase of the main wiring of my house. Those are not fuses (because fuses don’t have a total energy specification) but I can certainly get a few more for the Enterprise it they want.

    marcos,

    Well, it really wasn’t. You’d program by punching the cards, and then insert them into the computer. If they brought the boards from a terminal (or replicator), and switched the old ones to the new ones, the entire thing would make sense.

    It’s a bit similar to how people programed analogical computers at the 50s. But it’s actually a lot like programing old sewing machines. The thing those have in common is that their programs were always an order of magnitude smaller than this comment.

    marcos,

    People insist on making Janeway do those crazy stunts… Just remember that it wasn’t her that created a fleet or Von Neumann probes programed to act as space mines.

    marcos,

    As soon as everybody is speaking it, the word itself is already meaningless and the context has all the information. So, yeah, ignoring it is quite efficient.

    Anyway, I suspect that when you notice those things happening, it already means that you are old.

    marcos,

    You don’t have to go very far. There’s an episode on Discovery where Pike just goes and say something like “Enough with the problems with holograms! From now on the Enterprise will have only flat screens!”

    marcos,

    No, they don’t. They can get absorbed and re-emitted, and the space they are moving though can compress sideways. But they can’t make curves at all.

    marcos,

    He’s responsible for most of the knowledge the Discovery crew acquired about how to deal with trauma and loss after they time-jumped.

    marcos,

    If 20 years from now you meet somebody named Sandra with a completely different face, coming from a completely different place, would you guess it’s her after a plastic surgery?
