The amount of money I don’t have remains the same, does it not?

1·4 hours agoThis sounds like the person raving against personal computers in the 50’s, how “no-one will ever need or want one.”
And here I am sitting on the shitter with one that fits in my pocket.
Imagine trying to explain to someone just 40 years ago that I now have light bulbs which can sense motion in addition to being voice-controlled and full RGB. 80’s interior designers would go bonkers for these.
I don’t think these will replace normal traffic anytime soon but niche rescue vehicles or smth, perhaps. Also maybe we’re just at the awkward point between quadcopters and Star Wars style jets? The jets are just so much more aesthetic.
Eh, not exactly. I’m curious as to what sort of a contraption it is.
Here. Saved the third guy a click.
I used to work a little bit of IT-support for my city and this made me have flashbacks.
Another stereotype besides the techbro is the graphic designer gal.
Regards we once drove through the city to plug her scanner in… after we prodigiously made her make sure all the wires are connected.
Not exactly the same level of issue but it’s just something I’ll never forget. And nowadays it would be a completely understandable mistake to make, as USB’s can actually power things. But not in 2006, lol.
This doesn’t apply for heat delivery.
Pegging your pardon, mister.
This also applies to calling LLM’s droids.
“Hey Windows won’t let me…”
No, it’s actually me who doesn’t let anyone on the network do that. For a reason.
I had a guy near tears by the third acronym.
Sounds like a scum master
hot water to everywhere in a home is efficient, quiet
Have you never lived in an apartment building?
I don’t know why we haven’t come up with better solutions for piping. Or maybe it’s just because this building was built very cheaply. But anyway… the pipes make quite a loud banging sound if you shut them fast enough. And a lot of whoooshing in the walls just when using hot water.
Just remember to back that shit up.
Nothing like forgetting your brain on public transport and getting instant amnesia for the past five years.
9·14 hours agoSure, it could be suicide, but c’mon
I think a person killing themselves would probably not try to frame others for it. What, he thought it would be funny?
So yeah, no way in hell am I buying that this was a suicide.
I thought the discussion was about legibility in general, not the exact typeface. My bad.

Since the typeface is standardised it highlights the issue, whereas when you write manually, you can use slightly different spacing (like making the u wider) so it’s more easily legible.
And I have no clue where I’ve hidden my calligraphy stuf

What’d you need “calligraphy stuff” for?
I really haven’t written jack shit in years except on digital so excuse the shittiness but I think that shittiness makes it a rather good example of casual writing.
8·7 days agoI think the earlier guy was asking if he’s ever left the US because “travel widens the mind”, but when people like that leave the country, they don’t even really need to “leave the country”. A private plane, constantly driven by his own people, eating his own food, etc etc etc.
Like Trump can go anywhere in the world and still not leave his cosy little McD and Fox&Friends bubble.
The initiative was first proposed by Charlie Weimers, an MEP from the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), as a symbolic measure “to declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished,”
Well no, right to free speech isn’t curbed here. The people are just reserving their right to kill off hypocritical dogwhistling would-be fascists.
You’re probably on that puny ~110-120 volt supply.
Electric isn’t bad when there’s enough of it.
I’m currently looking directly at a ~400 volt stove. (My sauna stove, not mainly for cooking, although grilling sausages in a sauna is not unheard of.) I think my cooking stove is on the same sort of high power supply though. And even the regular outlets are 240v.
