OfCourseNot

Has this guy ever even written any code? Can anyone name a piece of software he’s worked on? Isn’t he like a self-help author for programmers?

Well, I believe in sickness too. And, yes, I also feel pity for Epstein and company, look at them, do you think those are happy people?

Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t no saint and this isn’t any of that ‘other cheek’ crap. I do hate to live in a world full of sick, dumb, fool, shortsighted people, but in a more ‘hate the game and not the player’ way, specially since playing it is not really a choice.

To solve this issues, or any problem really, it’s needed some understanding. I’m not very good with people or with social matters, nor do I like them much, but I think the attitude on your comment of ‘I’m glad this bad thing is happening because it’s hurting the other people more’ isn’t helping.

Do you deprive these people of your compassion because you think they are evil? Because I sincerely don’t believe in evil. I believe in stupidity, folly, shortsightedness… and the people affected by them do have my compassion and my empathy.

Also, given what you said I’d bet you voted for a billionaire-friendly, genocide supporter, fucking cop. So you, in that case, too have my compassion and empathy.

It’s an acronym, tho. From the Wiktionary page for ‘acronym’:

The broader sense of acronym inclusive of initialisms (as TNT) is sometimes proscribed[3] but was the term’s original meaning and remains its more common meaning.

So it seems like a bunch of prescriptivists just made up this distinction, included it in some style guides, and then tried to proscribe the other meaning or something.

I don’t think it can get as low as 100N, for that you would have to pull completely upwards. The shadow in the image implies a ceiling, so ~112N if we take 90° as the max angle. The 150N would be the only case with a completely downward force, if you pull at another angle the resulting force vector will be angled as well.

Nope. Right now the system is balanced, the rope is not being pulled just hold. To pull the weight up you need more than 50N, plus a bit more if we take into consideration the friction in the pulleys and in the rope itself.

I’m also in Europe, and the other commenter said theirs ‘shipped out of the states’ so I’m guessing they’re not American either. I got it reserved as soon as it went up, so more likely that one day of difference in getting into the queue is the cause for the massive difference.

Quite good, so far. To be honest I haven’t got around to game that much so I’m still to try it to its full potential, but I can already say that it’s super nice and comfortable. If I had to I’d certainly wait until December to get it and not get carried away and buy another (like I was tempted to do), unless you need a controller sooner or see another one that you like better, idk.

Oh mate! I reserved it on May 8th, ordered June 6th, and it arrived on June 15th.

Or older. Or this could be a family-run business in rural Alabama. Hard to say from the small fragments of information the commenter provided.

Oliver is a sweet, handsome boy doing his very best with the one brain cell that was given to him. A 10/10 good kitty, that he is.

The pun is that ‘ground’ can be a noun meaning ‘soil, earth’ as in playground or underground, or the past simple and past participle of ‘grind’ as in ground coffee or ground meat.

Not at all. I boarded lots of planes with food brought from outside the airport. Even international, back to Europe from the USA I went through the controls with some left over chicken no problem.

And that’s very much what the yanks will pay for it. American prices are always before taxes.

Templates is super useful! You can make a copy of any file you put there in any other directory with right click > new. Some examples I usually have in my computers are ‘newFile’, ‘newTextFile.txt’ (just blank text files), ‘newTextDocument.odt’, ‘newSpreadsheet.ods’… but once you start you’ll find many more things to add like, if you’re a programmer or web dev you’ll put files with all the boilerplate already in them, if you design fashion you’ll put an image of a figure template to draw over (in your format of choice), you have to make monthly schedules? Throw a table/spreadsheet with the days, format, colours… already in it. Anything you find yourself repeating is a good candidate to go into your templates folder.

Ja! Tócate los cojones, Mariloli!

Free press: when you can’t even record the police, it’s illegal (kind of, in theory. Absolutely forbidden in practice). Freedom of speech: unless it’s against the Crown, or the Church, or national unity, or… Independent courts: independent from fairness, and the truth? Sure. Independent from the establishment’s power? Not at all. So, yes, you’re too privileged to care for any of this, but worry not, amigo, those privileges are being transferred upwards so (unless you’re part of the top elite) you’ll care soon enough. We don’t have anything to envy the USA or China (on these matters). I’ve been there, not as a tourist, so it’s not hearsay.

. I live in country with independent courts, free press and freedom of speech

Which magical country is that? Like, I get some eurohaugtiness vibes from your comment, so as a fellow eurofucker I can tell you, with quite some confidence, that you’re wrong. You’re probably just too privileged for this to matter to you, personally.

The petaflops sometimes… flop. The only use case I personally have for llms, and they are brilliant at that, is when a word just won’t come to mind—I can give it a precise description of it but my brain refuses to produce the word, in English nor Spanish.

How old does it have to be? Because I live in a European city founded in the 9th century, and work near another founded in the 1st century. They’re both full of these gigantic monsters…

It probably has more to do with the people that buy BMWs, Rams, and Teslas driving like fucking idiots than with the cars themselves.
