Play patafour! (I was once a major maintainer! It’s a bit abandoned now but if any souls wanna help it’s ripe for the taking)

Not sure if it still works but for the longest time, “bulldozer” really gave it trouble

If you can find just about any damn excuse to treat a friend, to celebrate, to commiserate, then damn well take it! That’s the stuff that the good life is made from

Human beings built it, literally to serve their/our purposes. We are, whether we like it or not, a tool using Species. I think to some extent we can’t help making tools

Excuse me, is this sir’s suitcase? Can I help sir with this?

Replace with ma’am, master, etc

In many languages the plural form is used similarly. In my native danish it’s “De” vs “du” (De is always written with a capital letter)

Gods gift to man. This with a plate of proper sausages will cure all ails

It’s pretty much not. Literally everyone learns best by “doing”, and the other styles (reading, visual, auditory) depend much more on the content (visual graphs are good for geometry, reading is good for history etc) than the student. Also people’s responses on surveys about learning styles are very inconsistent, it’s pretty solidly disproven since about 2008

Oh and the best bit is then a court gives them an injunction or whatever to force them to stop doing it and they say oh it will be hard and expensive to stop so we’ll just kinda sort of do it half way and then the media loses interest and the fence goes up again anyway

Why would they name a random electronic product mosquito spray?

To be fair I was frankly amazed as a child that in American tv and media they so openly had shops called “drug stores”

That there are different “learning styles”, and that some people learn better with one over another. (Visual learner, auditory learner etc.) Same for “love languages”

I absolutely agree. This will change nothing at best, and come across as sanctimonious BS that drives people away from what you’re trying to say at worst. Whatever problems exist with ai, they come from funding models, incentives, negative externalities (power, water), inequity (pay to play, unauthorized use of training data), and the way they allow the least moral among us to poison the commons with unprecedented speed and efficiency.

Very little of this is affected by what we call it.

This doesn’t seem to account for convection, which is presumably the entire point of a heat sink?

For those who aren’t scientists, no. You don’t need legal access. You don’t necessarily need any access at all (though imo it’s negligent to cite without having read the paper)

I absolutely agree! Honor in the sense of social obligation isn’t a force for good, and can often be a very toxic force. UK politics is fundamentally broken and leads to countless problems for the people living there. I’m glad I left the country, I just try to help people be clear eyed about the ways it’s different to the US, because it’s very different and worth understanding on its own terms.

You know he didn’t have to resign right? He literally only did it for honor. The uk political system is driven by honor. They even pressured Boris Johnson to resign. Could you imagine a US president resigning before their term was done?

The UK hasn’t had a single prime minister fill out their full term since 2015

Happens the other way too. Used to work in IT with Australians and it was hard for them to stifle giggles whenever I was talking about routing packets or routers.

For them, “rooting” means fucking

TBF I was taught to use water on pies, it makes the crust of the pastry develop a shiny crisp edge.

Where do you live!? Cocos islands?

Much like flex tape.
