Hmm, I don’t know. I’m gonna need a non-Mercator version to make up my mind about this.

Dude doesn’t even look all that good. This “looksmaxxing” stuff is just spicy body dysmorphia.

👎 = false
🫳 = maybe
🤌 = Italian false

I suspect with high confidence, though, which is worse in terms of the reputation that earns you with me than the alternative “hey I messed up, can you grant me access and extend the deadline by a week?”. Highly prefer honesty over bullshit.

Ever since the rsync debacle, I’m afraid of updating my installation of Arch lmao

Yes, but social aspects will often still factor in to some extent, and universities also have a lot of freedom in how they select their recipients. I highly doubt that these kids are academically so exceptionally gifted that there aren’t any other kids who would deserve it more and would make better use of this type of support. Scholarships don’t have to function like bursaries, but there’s a fair argument to limit them to kids whose parents aren’t literal millionaires.

In academia, scholarships are often treated like academic awards, and academics will often list them in the same section on their CVs.

As a European, I rarely see “cups” or other imperial measurement except in recipes that were originally from the UK or the US. Spoons are common, yes, especially for the small volumes you refer to. But the overwhelming majority of measurements are a mix of 1) metric, 2) spoons, and 3) absolute quantities like “zest of 1 lemon” and don’t include any imperial measurements.

Just go with the trusty “Oh dang!” and mix in a couple “That’s rough!”.

I recently had one that was like “Due to recent events, we feel it necessary to remind everyone about the regulations in the Code of Conduct about accepting gifts from clients. Please read the CoC if you have not done so and confirm you have read it via this link. Signed HR”. The link was fake, and the sender address was, too. It was a good fake though, because we actually do have a CoC and have to read/confirm about once a year. So I’m pretty sure it was a test to select people for training.

You have to zoom in to fully appreciate it. Crazy level of detail!

The comic definitely made it more confusing by choosing the main (non-intersecting) road of a T junction to illustrate this. In most countries, if this road splits into two lanes, the left-turning lane would split off, and the right-turning lane would go straight.

Edit: Apparently, this style of junction is more common in the US. In Europe, I’ve only seen this kind of junction on highways, but that would be without traffic lights and with a much longer turning lane.

This is just translated to today’s standard English. Future English obviously will become a tonal language, where all expression is based on different intonations of the word “skibidi”.

Me too. Without conditioner, my hair is a floofy mess and too coarse and tangled to even brush properly.

According to this source (German), the average gas consumption of privately-owned cars in Germany in 2023 was 7.8 liter per 100 km. So this 30 year old car, which is not all that fuel-efficient by modern standards, is still more efficient than what people drive today.

Bro u just naggmaxxing

I don’t have a rational reason for this, but I think anthropomorphizing machines makes more sense on an emotional level for dumb machines than for smart ones. Kind of like the brave little toaster, or Wall-E going against the space ship’s autopilot. I guess part of it might be that we see the limitations dumb machines have and it reminds us about our own flaws and limitations, which makes us empathize with a Roomba more than with Alexa or ChatGPT.

I guess the calculus portion of this is to write the separation as a function of time, s = √26*t, and then realize that the rate of separation is the same regardless of time, because the first derivative is a constant.

how he ever thought

I think you got your answer right there

I have one of those, and my solution was to permanently disable the Nvidia card in favor of integrated graphics. Yeah…
