Revealing the truth about the evils of Nordic Social Democracy.

Let your haters become your waders in the trout stream of opportunity.

  • What does it take for you to determine someone has low intelligence?

  • Well, going after low hanging fruit, people that think shoplifting is a major expense for most retail stores that would cause locations to shut down. Obviously self checkout and how it makes abuses and shoplifting easier shows that that is a much smaller cost than just the labor of paying a cashier. It is always advantageous for PR reasons to blame crime and shoplifting rather than a lack of profitability or demand for shutting down locations.

    But on a more serious note, it is a lack of curiosity or unwillingness to challenge really simplified narratives about common facets of daily living. A more original answer might be the lack of ability to pick up on jokes or sarcasm. I was always shocked about some people's inability to pick up on sarcasm, even when the statements would make no sense or be obviously wrong, if they were done sincerely. There is an awareness of context and meta-awareness that is what I usually identify with intelligence, as opposed to expertise in a specific domain.

  • GNU Octave

  • Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. Mostly due to the decline in Matlab.

  • Are you telling me that all the Plutonium-235 that I need could be found in the Walmart grocery section?

  • good meme, but the hat should be blue

  • Is there a maintained bypass-paywalls Firefox extension out there?

  • Liberals, the most rightest left 😁

    Jump

  • I would say the most leftest right, just because of noting what the adjective and noun are.

  • GNOME 49 Alpha Released With X11 Support Disabled By Default, Many New Features

    Jump

  • I still use X because at least last time I tried (admittedly over a year ago) some of my apps didn't work right on Wayland (KLayout, if I remember correctly).

  • Just baffling

  • The Great Man just decided it should collapse.

  • What was your first Linux distribution?

    Jump

  • Ubuntu Lucid Lynx

    Currently, I use Arch BTW.

  • Can you change your Linux distro

    Jump

  • A useful setup for the future is to keep home as a separate partition. Then you should be able to reinstall a different distro on the root partition and have all the data carried over. There is some bleed over in that all your dotfiles will carry over, but usually that doesn't break anything and is usually a plus (e.g. all your firefox addons and preferences will immediately be applied in the new install)

  • fun fact that I probably shared before, but my university had a physics class called estimations of scale, where you did order of magnitude estimations, usually of things really large like galaxies or small like particles, and then put them into a scale that is intuitive and made sense to you to imagine. One person I worked with did the length of his dick for the length scale (though he used something else for homework he had to turn in, probably football fields). The milky way is ~1.7*10^17 dicks across apparently.

  • Chives ar are tasty, good problem to have.

  • What music do you use for concentration?

    Jump

  • I stumbled upon Russian Cybernetics in some google search related to the academic discipline of cybernetics. I like it as background music because it is mostly a very mellow electronic music. And I don't speak Russian, so most of the lyrics aren't distracting and mentally filtered out. Though some songs have english lyrics.

  • So why is gold found in veins? Isn't it weird that all this dead-star juice clumps together? It isn't formed by the Earth. So it just got deposited in clumps?

    Jump

  • A real geologist should give a real answer, but more or less it is due to how the molten elements and molecules sorted out back when the earth was younger and hotter. It has a lot to do with relative densities, melting points and propensity to mix with other materials. Everything heavier than helium and trace amounts of lithium are "star dust", the geology of earth is how that coalesces together and then combines and separates out in geological processes.

  • Why still using the imperial system?

    Jump

  • Dude, WTF are you talking about? When I was a machinist it was so much easier to deal with metric. 1 inch ~ 25 mm, from there it is just way easier to deal with measurements such as 27.5 mm instead of 1 5/64 inches and all of these inverse powers of 2. I was always jealous of the French machinist I worked with talking about how the only units you should ever have to work with is meters and millimeters. If you are concerned about "Human Scale" then intuitively a meter and a yard are close enough for estimates and you don't have to deal with "wait, what is 5/8 + 3/16 + 1 7/64?"
