That’s some solid reframing, bro 👍

You can only steal investor money if you’re already rich and the investment is coming from the government.

The comparison in this case is operating on the word half, not on the subject of the sentence:

Only half want to get married, even less [than half] want kids.

So the developers claim, but the users still encounter it, and the bug report stays open for 22 years … possibly more.

It just means he can’t do it by himself.

Yours won’t be perfect, but you can do the whole thing by yourself.

Caffeine is pretty well studied and it’s known that the long term health effects are nothing close to cocaine. I doubt if there was any good science back then on the long term effects of cocaine, let alone enough education for the populace to know and understand it.

However social perceptions may change anyway. What we consider as not serious may be considered much more serious in the future. For example many people get headaches or even migraines as a withdrawal symptom of caffeine, and we don’t consider a headache to be serious.

But I saw a Star Trek episode once where Picard gets a headache and it was a big deal because those had been solved for hundreds of years by that time! Turns out the ferengi were controlling his mind or something. So caffeine may be considered a serious drug in the future if it interferes with the detection of alien mind control devices.

Woody shares many characteristics in common with the pileated woodpecker in terms of both physical appearance as well as his characteristic laugh, which resembles the call of the pileated woodpecker. These similarities are the result of the artistic license of the creators and have caused much confusion within the birding community among those who have attempted to classify Woody’s species.

Interesting, I guess maybe I just thought that because his character design has white on his body.

I believe woody woodpecker was actually a woodland woodpecker. This is a pilleated woodpecker.

Woodland woodpeckers have more white on their wings and back and are also very rare now. Their range is much more southern too, Midwestern and southern US.

Try explaining anything to a public school teacher lol. They always think they know better.

My favourite is the “upload your genitals as jpeg”

There is, it’s literally right there on the home page of the project. You can either copy a URL and download it by cloning the git repo, or you can download the whole project as a zip file. Then you just have to compile it!

GitHub is for developers, not end users.

Huh, interesting. I didn’t realize Dassaults makes both solidworks and catia.

It’s made by Seimens, the industrial equipment manufacturer. IIRC it’s one of the oldest CAD systems there is, from the 80s when they started developing it in house for their own use.

It’s just the simplest way to explain extrusion.

“A profile through which material is pushed, forming a part of uniform section and indeterminate length” just confuses people. But then you say “ya know those playdoh things?” And they instantly understand.

That’s not what was said though. They didn’t talk about the concept, they spoke about the Olympics. They straight out said:

The Olympics are one of the best things humanity does. … the Olympics are one of the only times the whole world comes together to at least attempt to do something positive.

Which is objectively untrue. It is not a global positivity exercise; it is not the world “coming together”. That’s just their marketing bullshit.

It is just a business that profits off people without compensating them.

I don’t know where that comes from, and it’s always bothered me that fantasy and sci fi conflate the two words.

Homo sapiens is the species, not the race. So racism will still mean the same thing as it means now.

Aren’t those all part of one of the other three? The orkneys and Hebrides are part of Scotland.

Guess who runs the Olympics?

I wonder what we’re going to call it when actual aliens show up. Then xenophobia will literally mean fear of aliens, so what will we call fear of foreign nationals?
