Why did they want to hurt you?
There is an art to preparing vegetables - a greenbean side could be done up in a fancy fat (butter at least), salt, and a good sauté, but if they dumped factory canned ‘beans in water’ into a saucer, heat, and serve as a dish? That’s basically a slap in the face.
What’s a ‘six, five thousand and forty’? I will never get meme culture. 😉! (=😉×(😉-1)×(😉-2)×[…]×3×2×1)
I’d quibble that any organization that acts to spread knowledge qualifies as free in the sense of expanding freedom of choice, and argue thus that if their operational costs as a public nonprofit have to be expressed as an at-cost service (or reasonably priced and used to subside their other related operations) - that’s still a meaningful free in multiple ways.
But on a more basic level - yeah, it is shameful that libraries (broadly speaking) often have to operate like they’re badly managed businesses. But that arguably in most cases is not the fault of the library itself but on society (late stage capitalism, billionaires and the other usual suspects).
Tl;dr: You’re not wrong, but also is that really the hill you wanna plant your flag in?
To clarify: this is not intentional art. This is an engineering edge case turned real by bad luck.
Normally 3 buses can use around-about without issue, and there’s plenty of 4 bus patterns that could use the intersection without creating a knot, so bus drivers probably aclimate to having another bus or two in the loop, but this just happened to have the bad luck needed to create the knot.
(And OP is calling it an art installation tongue in cheek because it’s not going anywhere for a while)
In my head, Waldo is a trans guy, living his best life, using his dead name Carmen Sandiego, drag, and gender norms as an effective tool as an effective shield against the authorities to seperate their work life from their personal life.
This is why Carmen is flashy, memorable, and bold while Waldo is quiet and casual.
Laura Ingraham (of Fox News fame), put out an article that we should all relax, because Jeffrey Epstein’s victims were on average closer in age to 15 than 5, and spouted some technicalities about the definition of pedophile, as if that makes grooming children to sexually exploit and trade access to for favors any less repulsive.
The timing of the news release is right after a clever procedural move in the US House brought a vote to release the Epstein files and now all the conservative media is trying the “maybe we did, but it wasn’t really that bad” lines.
To be fair - this mindset is hardly exclusive to self-hosters. The dotcom era itself kicked off because it was easier to get advertisers to pay for server costs than users.
AI: taking another hit of acid in preparation to research the reason why the last thing it did after taking acid didn’t work out.
I don’t inherently agree. Gatekeeping often is a magnified issue for novice users. Perhaps they came over with the latest reddit exodus, saw recommendations for self hosting on the new platform, got pushback and created an account to complain. I appreciate the concern, but I don’t think it’s valid to assume because the account is new, it must be a troll.
The ability to scale and to be able to recite pi to more digits?
I contend a functional definition of privilege is the number of problems you can ignore. By this metric anon is likely privileged.
Just label each with a cute yet distinct name. Then customers would associate each name with the blend they order, with bonus lore.
What you’re advocating is called genocide. Genocide is bad.
We’ve tried this ‘separating mentally ill from society’ before - they were called asylums. We stopped doing that because they’re inhumane. (There is an academic debate on if they’re inherently such or simply attract/foster abuse, but were not having that debate today.)
What you’re suggesting is an international crime and violation of human rights. Please reconsider.
Left ear, right ear, left nostril, right nostril, pore, pore, pore, …, pore, iris (light only), Prince Albert piercing, earlobe …
I disagree with this joke’s premise
Yes. If you’re not actively using the land you should sell it - if that were the general practice, many renters would be land owners themselves and an entire layer of middle management would evaporate.
I thought it was obvious from the blooming cloud of mutant white spores in the last few seconds 😜 nuclear mushroom!!
I refuse to get formerly identified. Adding labels to your health record feels dangerous in the US - so I’m happy to ‘suspect’ I’m autistic, stay on top of the research, and refuse to be boxed and labeled publicly.
Hose is pronounced /hōz/ and dose is pronounced /dōs/ in “Standard English” (which is a specific and deliberately invented dialect taught to news anchors to try to smooth out all the regional differences), actual english varies so much over time and space that both words have numerous variations - https://www.howtopronounce.com/hose, plus we change our inflection on words depending on where they are in a sentence - and plenty of context can change if the emphasis is on the vowel or the ending consonant: All my hoes know a hose is a hose.
Simply put - as long as people understand the ideas you’re conveying, don’t worry too much about precise spelling and punctuation - it’s literally all made up.
No it was definitely an … memory updating … all other EV brands vehicle. The Tesla truck is the only good option.
Just as a tangent:
This is one reason why I’ll never trust AI.
I imagine we might wrangle the hallucination thing (or at least be more verbose about it’s uncertainty), but I doubt it will ever identify a poorly chosen question.
