Worse still is the pronunciation of “bologna”. How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce “herbs” or “pecans”. Then again, our pronunciation of “lieutenant” is messed up.

Yeah, that checks out. I think I need to get checked out for ADHD. Maybe I’ll start the process tomorrow 🤣
Does it cause you anxiety thinking about replying? Because that’s what it’s like for me
This time it isn’t (I think)
Fascinating! However, the fire department (or whoever is your local IDR unit) will almost certainly run coolant while cutting a ring off of anyone.
Yes! I should have clarified. Wedding rings getting stuck on old people’s fingers will be the main use case for those tools, meaning people will have to buy a lot of titanium cock rings before it’s cost effective for hospitals to have electric cutting tools as standard.
Hospitals will generally have ring cutters like this:
They are hand powered and very cost effective for gold and silver rings. Diamond tipped cutters usually need something like a Dremel to power them. They look something like this:
.
They are much more expensive compared to hand powered ones, and pose a higher risk to a patient so they would require additional training to use it, which is another extra cost.
Nominative determinism: destiny based on names
At least I know there are other people who will know what it’s like when I get to that stage
That’s gotta be the most pretentious way of saying “aircraft tail”
In your current situation, yes, a car is a lot better. But when it comes to urban planning it’s better to plan a city to have shops closer to people so that they can do their shopping by bicycle or by foot. So when people say, “who would do their shopping by bike” in parliament it’s a rhetorical trick to make you think about how things are now instead of thinking about how things should be in the future for people other than yourself.
I’m not surprised, I’m pretty sure they’re wetland birds too.
Australian white ibises. They’re kinda like the Australian equivalent to a raccoon in the US; they eat rubbish and their roosts stink because they tend to congregate in a single tree and then shit everywhere. But they are quite unique looking birds: long beaks, black heads and white plumage. So the tourists find them quite interesting and the locals call them bin chickens.
DD Mon YYYY for human readability, YYYY-MM-DD for computer readability.
But that is the reality of most users today. They expect to have a GUI because it gives them the options right there, rather than having to go and learn what commands this particular system accepts. If you don’t cater to those users, like my parents, my friends, my grandparents, my teachers, and basically everyone I know who isn’t a computer nerd, and then expect them to “come to their senses” you will be very disappointed. Good design meets users where they’re at, it doesn’t expect them to “educate themselves.”
It shouldn’t be though. A command line interface is not user friendly for entry-level users, and until Linux UX designers realise this, Linux will never gain a greater market share. And we have seen this with Ubuntu, Mint, and other “user friendly” distros gaining popularity. I’m not saying that we should necessarily aim for broad-scale adoption of Linux as an end in itself, but more users means more support for Linux which means a better experience for all.
I’m always kinda impressed when people can fill silence with a lot of words without actually managing to say anything.
Spot on!
