Pro tip: If you find large mysterious eggs on a derelict space ship, ALWAYS inspect them very closely. They tend to contain some really cool stuff. Mind-blowing, transcendental best stuff ever. I'm talking, like, way too legit to be legit, feel me? If you see movement inside, be sure to place your head close to the top of the egg. You should try to smell the egg or even give it a lick.

  • LLMs always write with a very dramatic tone. I really hate that high impact language now.

  • If humans really treated cats the same as humans, you'd get jailed for petting random kittens on the street that you don't know.

    Jump

  • Also, you shouldn’t pet any cat without their consent. Pay attention to the tail. Let the cat approach you first.

  • Having ICE (In Case of Emergencies) in your phone contacts might give off the wrong impression to people now.

  • LOL, that pretty much covers it.

  • Try having a technical conversation about Internal Combustion Engines without using that acronym. Spelling it out once is fine, but what if you're comparing different engine types and you need to refer to that one frequently. Yeah, it gets awkward pretty quickly.

  • As far as I know, a blockchain solves a very specific kind of problem you never hear people lamenting about: trust. If you can’t trust your bank or the local shop, and those two can’t trust each other, let alone you, that’s when you need a blockchain. This tool is for situations where everyone is constantly worried about someone else screwing you over and running away with your money.

    If there is sufficient trust among all three parties, you don’t need a blockchain. It solves a problem you don’t have.

  • In a way clipboard and safety vest can get you to a lot of places, you could probably get away with bossing people around in dark plain clothes equipped with a walkie-talkie making random quotes.

  • You should seriously consider a career in pen testing. Physical security needs to be tested too, and if you can just talk your way in, that company has some serious problems.

  • Did you get to use the classic line: “Don’t ask me, man. I don’t even work here.”

  • I wonder if there's a measurable difference in middle finger dexterity between societies that do and don't treat it as an insult

    Jump

  • We should make a new gesture that involves your ring finger and little finger. That’s where the dexterity practice will pay off. Better yet, make that gesture the most insulting one, and kids will be practicing it in no time.

  • A corner is an ontologically parasitic feature of a table that can't exist on its own.

    Jump

  • Each corner is infinitesimally close to 180°, and there are infinitely many of them. If you dislike corners, you're going to hate circles.

  • That’s just infinite corners.

  • For example, Debian and Fedora don’t ship with proprietary drivers. The user is still able to install those later, making the OS partially closed source.

    Some distros, like Bazzite, give you the proprietary drivers during installation, which makes those partially closed source out of the box.

  • city, state, or national leadership should be required to play city skylines.

    Jump

  • Ouch! That would be a very cyberpunk move.

    See this rich part of town here? Yeah, we’ll leave it alone, and ensure they will always have power even when there’s a blackout in the rest of the city. Oh, and they get their own clean water system with top tier filtration system.

    The rest of the city though… I guess we’ll use the cheapest filters. Only a single water pump should do it. Who needs water pressure in the shower, amarite. If there’s a blackout, we’ll just cut power from the poor neighborhood first, to make sure the wealthy supporters of the mayor stay happy.

    Oh, and the new wind farm? Didn’t really find enough empty space for that one, so I guess we’ll just scatter the eye sores all over the poor town. Who knows, maybe they will help with the smoke coming from the 13 trash incinerators.

  • city, state, or national leadership should be required to play city skylines.

    Jump

  • Ok thanks. Calling those two just “bus” and “rail” would have been sufficient. Those acronyms don’t really give me much extra information, quite the opposite really. What’s wrong with using normal words…

  • city, state, or national leadership should be required to play city skylines.

    Jump

  • Block Register Territory, British Rail Telecommunications, Brooklyn Rapid Transit company? The list goes on… I’m not even going to try to decipher that other one. Why do people expect everyone to magically know every niche acronym.

    If you’re expecting civilised mature city building with sensible decisions, you’re going to be disappointed.

    Jump

  • Hmm… maybe. On the other hand, you can do totally messed up stuff because you’re the absolute dictator of the city.

    See that suburb there? Yeah, we’re changing it to a highway intersection, so everyone living there will just have to relocate. I don’t care where. It’s their problem. I’m just designing a highway system here, and couldn’t care less what happens to the people who happen to live in the wrong place. It’s their fault they decided to live there.

    See this hospital here? Yeah, we’re relocating the whole thing somewhere, because it’s in the way of my new monorail system. We need to put the station right here. Oh, and that residential block needs to go too. There should be shops right next to the station. Not my problem if you liked to live here before.

    Another day in a growing city, and this was just the tip of the iceberg. It can get so much worse.

  • is it unethical to buy off brand but compatible batteries for power tools?

    Jump

  • Well that would be a valid reason to spend more on nicer batteries. Only very few people know enough to appreciate that feature though. Most people would just evaluate the situation based on price and performance.

  • Sounds like a very reasonable compromise.
