It was fun at one point. When collective efforts through the currency put the Jamaican bobsleigh team into the olympics. A time before we collectively realized how terrible crypto is both for economy and environment.

Now it’s just sad.

I love that you bring a great technical and insightful answer and then just leave with that my calculator is probably posessed.

I discovered that hitting something like C, CE and 0 simultaneously for some reason worked as an instant power off for my school calculator. Do calculators have such hidden off-buttons? Because I have discovered other calculators with other combinations.

For me, the problem is different 🤔 I work in an environment with young people 👶 Young people who speak with emojis 💯 and they expect others to speak with emojis as well 🤝 So when I write a message or a mail 📩 Then I need to figure out which emoji I need to replace the periods with 😅 And the minefield is kinda terrible, since some of the “regular” emojis are considered highly passive agressive 🙂

It’s one of those things which would be pretty much impossible to prove, but it holds well with the effects we currently see. Electrons can annihilate by colliding with positrons. But the collision we see could be a single electron changing from moving forwards in time to moving backwards in time. It holds that it’s the same particle in the equations by cancelling out the minus sign of the charge with the minus sign in the time. So while we see a collision, the electron would just see itself changing charge and start moving backwards in time instead.

It’s a beautiful hypothesis, and fills me with chills to think about the electron “experiencing” all of history an unimmaginable amount of times.

Would be fun if they streamed Civilization.

I might be in a minority of this, but using numbers that way breaks my flow for 2 reasons: Firstly, any number of lines greater than around 3 or 4 means I have to stop and manually count. Not that counting to 6 takes a long time, but it does use some mental capacity while I want my mind focused on the actual code. Secondly, I don’t have touch typing in my fingers for the number line on my keyboard. If I need to type a number, I either have to look down at my keyboard, or move my hand over to the numpad. In both cases it would be quicker for me to Vjjjjjy.

I’m completely sure, like 100%, fully positive without a single doubt… that I misspelled it and I would never be able to access the server again.

We used to have a server at my university which a polish guy set up. It received the name brzeczyszczykiewich. We decided that the server was secure enough by name, so we only put a trivial password on it for remote connection.

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks!

I’m curious, what makes fridges bad in cold climates?

A 2018 VW Passat GTE. It isn’t bad, but it’s the only car I’ve ever owned.

Just to add to the wonkyness: not only is the active ingredient not a medicine, in many occasions it’s actually the virus or bacteria or whatever caused the disease. This gets dilluted to the point where it’s extremely unlikely that even a single atom of the original brew is present. And then they claim that the resulting liquid has a memory of losing the ingredient such that it has the ability to remove new particles of that ingredient (or something like that).

It’s fantastically cartoonish and preys upon people who lack a certain understanding of logic.

I occasionaly hear about people having their freezer out on the balcony. It makes sense for colder countries, as the temperature difference would be lower than if it were inside. But on the other hand, I’m pretty sure most freezers are not built to endure weather.

I very often sit down to pee, but not exclusively. Some times I feel like standing.

No follow-up questions, thanks.

Year 12, month 30, day of month 2023. What’s unclear?

It must have been a mix-up between “component name” and “how to install”.

It works for screws, but as a kid, I was never sure if the clock on the wall should be visualized attached to the ceiling or on the floor when saying “clockwise”. So I was always a bit hessitant on that.

Grab around a screw with your right hand and extend your thumb (like a thumbs up). Then rotating the screw in the direction which your fingers are pointing will result in the screw moving in the direction your thumb is pointing.

Thumbs up for lifting the screw upwards, thumbs down for screwing the screw downwards. And you can move your hand around to figure out screwing directions for any tricky spots.
