hamsters do be packing.

I use metric all the time in the US. My 3D printer runs in millimeters and Celsius, I buy Pepsi by the liter, I dose every medicine by the gram, I meter electricity by the kilowatt and my lights are rated in lumens.

What I don’t do is this weird sense of superiority found in cultivated ignorance the Europeans seem so fond of on the subject.

No, dumping ice cream on the cat isn’t worth it. It’s funny for a few minutes but then you have to clean it up and cats hold grudges.

This is the internet, so obviously it means handjob.

When aren’t students treated like guinea pigs? Hank Green once pointed out that most science done on “people” were actually done on mostly white, mostly American, mostly young, mostly male college students, because that’s who signs up for “studies.”

Do the French still have a death penalty? If no, pass.

Curious how the French have jurisdiction over Austin?

I’ve gone on this tirade plenty of times, but inches aren’t stupid. 12 inches to a foot makes a lot of sense for problems we’ve had to solve for millennia, because it’s 3 times a power of two. For things like woodoworking it actually makes more sense than the metric system.

“But 10 deciliters in a liter” Using a tape measure, mark out 1/3rd of the thickness of a standard 19mm sheet of plywood. I’ll be over here doing the same with 3/4" plywood by marking at 1/4".

Maybe we shouldn’t be selling Europe any weapons that work.

*sk8r boi

No Duh?!

Okay, he was 6’5" and she was 5’2".

For awhile there, PPAs were the reason to stick with Ubuntu as a base, because the .deb package format was (and still is) very popular, and PPAs allowed fairly easy distribution of software without dealing with the standard repository. Flatpak has kind of solved that problem by now, and so like you say defuckulating Ubuntu is just getting to be a bigger and bigger chore.

Which is why LMDE exists.

It is my understanding that pull requests say “Hey, I forked and modified your project. Look at it and consider adopting my changes in your project.” So anyone who wants to look at the “experimental stuff” can just pull that fork. Someone in charge of the main branch decides if and when to merge pull requests.

The problem becomes the volume of requests; they’re kinda getting DDOS’d.

also it uses flexible tpu joints, so it’s literally rubber. like no mechanical hinges.

or /dev/urandom?

Yeah I consider the bridge burned; their install media maker .exe thing doesn’t run on Linux so I Just Can’t Help You Install Windows Anymore^TM.

The best kind of true.

I am in the wrong goddamn business, I need to be selling $9,000 kettle cords to music morons.

You should go look at the listings for stripper poles on Amazon, it’s hilarious the places they photoshop them into.

I found it buggy and unfinished, plus a “That branch is unmaintained, use this fork” situation, so…nope.
