  • What is your dating peeves?

    Jump

  • Lack of building?

  • If eating a banana is ~0.1μSv, then what is holding a banana for an hour?

    Jump

  • I once hauled a load of bananas as a trucker then developed superpowers (i.e. was later told I'm super boring)

  • What is the catalyst that actually causes (financial) bubbles to burst?

    Jump

  • A) "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent"

    B) The big players in AI aren't highly leveraged. If MSFT or Nvidia have their valuations drop overnight, the consequences to them are minimal

    How Money Works released a good video on this recently

  • I Assumed 'Twas The Boot Code

    Jump

  • According to the internet, this also works on people

  • What does the social power heirarchy in the United States look like? What are the different classes?

    Jump

  • First, Coach and Premium Economy

  • Is there or has there ever been information illegal to possess or have?

  • Cyclops would be a very different character if his eyelids weren't laserproof

    Jump

  • I mean Ben Stein would have some serious competition for the Clear Eyes commercials in the 90s

    There's a long list of incidents where his visor (or sunglasses) are removed

  • When will we find microbial life on other planets, if ever?

  • Not yet

    Still not yet

  • We've all been there

  • The bill amount is likely rounded and, even if it isn't, it doesn't tell you the cost to the cent

  • Removed

    What happens if you cry back at a baby, do they ever figuratively become the adult in the room and stop crying?

    Jump

  • Sometimes they quiet down out of confusion but I once got hit with a "DADDY, QUIET!!" between screams out of my kid when she got a bit older and wised up to the act

  • I just spent four months in hospital in the UK. How screwed (financially) would I be in the US?

    Jump

  • There are a huge variety of factors but one I think people tend to forget: your state of residence

    Massachusetts or Hawaii, you'd prob not be much worse off than your current situation. Most states, you'd likely owe whatever your insurance plan's out of pocket maximum. In most of the Southeast and Texas, you'd probably be launched into the sun

  • I'm curious.

    Jump

  • You'll be happier not knowing

  • Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought

    Jump

  • I distinctly recall thinking inner monologues were a "neat idea" after seeing them on TV as a child and thinking it would be a useful skill to learn. I never did though

  • Removed

    What are some "toy programs" you've created?

    Jump

  • A "full update script" so I don't forget a package manager. It should probably be an alias but whatever, I run the script

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • If they're well-received, I would say see if the students/staff naturally come to explore or suggest other options

    Some projects still need time to mature and overplaying your hand can reverse some of that goodwill (which is more FOSS acceptance than I ever saw in my school days)

  • YSK: You can continue to access most subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle

    Jump

  • Always forget printers exist but can't say I'm surprised. Added this to the list of exceptions and made the title more accurate

    Jump

  • Any specific service you've seen doing this?

    I've not experimented as much with cloud providers or non-American companies so not yet sure if this is a byproduct of industry practice, market pressures on public companies or legal requirements and counter examples could help

    I should also point out the good: many of them (like Netflix) are very open about how cancelation works once one goes to that section of their site

  • Why do Americans want to know the month first and the day second?

    Jump

  • Linguistics

    In UK English, it's considered proper to write "the 6th of March" as "6 March" and sometimes read as "6th March" which can be jarring to Americans as their shorthand is "March 6th" and when "6(th) March" is encountered in written form, it's expanded to the full "6th of March" when spoken

    That doesn't mean this won't be yet another feature American English absorbs from UK English but right now flipping them in speech requires a few extra syllables and people are lazy

    Shower drains and storm drains are the same thing in theory but not practice

    The percentage of the population who did/didn't know of Crowdstrike probably reversed in the past week
