That falls squarely under the “don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to” category.

Not sure what you’re getting at here. A microcode exploit and open source software have nothing to do with each other.

Because eating the rich will accomplish nothing if you don’t also change the underlying system that created them in the first place. And good luck getting everyone in the non-rich class to agree on what that change should look like.

Probably making wearing any mask while protesting illegal, regardless of the legality of the protest itself.

Wouldn’t that be a non-issue? The radiation is going to be spreading out in a cone, not a focused laser beam. It should dissipate down to a level that a spaceships normal radiation shielding would already need to be able to handle pretty quickly.

So why not just stop beside the planet you are aiming for?
- Comment on Don't risk the dry shave 5 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s just a generational difference, but when I was a teenager, who I thought was cool was usually just band members of my favourite bands. Since social media wasn’t a thing, there was nothing they were trying to sell us other than CDs, t-shirts, and concert tickets. Even then, there was usually a mental separation between the person and the art, so when the person turned out to be a trash bag, it had very little influence on fans.

I switched to contacts when I got a job where I am required to wear safety glasses. Contacts + the normal plastic glasses is just easier to deal with than having to get and replace prescription safety glasses.

Wait, how do I know that all four of the right half aren’t smaller than all four of the Left half?

It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

Wait I need more details about this sandwich based political spectrum. What does it mean if I refuse to have a pulled pork sandwich without coleslaw on it?
- Comment on Lady Gaga: 'Joker: Folie à Deux' 'Didn't Connect' with Audiences 1 month ago:
Honestly, her take sounded quite a bit more reasonable than that. If your an artist, your art isn’t going to connect with everyone all the time, and you have to be ok with that. A lot better than the normal blaming and bullshit that usually goes around when a movie bombs.

That’s waaay more effort, and I am so very lazy.

There’s a chain of burger places called “The Burger’s Priest” in Canada. Must be talking about that place.

Yes, and in that exact order.

I get mad at Windows features occupying ports, even when that feature isn’t in use.

I’m confused. Are you saying that the gravy seals have any hint of a chance against the US army?

To be fair, this isn’t really a “gun control” type situation. A single, targeted, killing, would have been just a successful if it were done with a knife instead. The gun control arguments are more applicable to spree killings.

I’m also willing to bet that the blacksmith they are picturing looks very different from your average blacksmith.

That dude’s not even looking at the computer screen. I give even odds that what he’s looking at on his phone is boobs.

Does the balance at least accumulate until you do hit the threshold, or is the money just gone?

Well that would depend on exactly what type of experiments he’s doing.

“Intuitive” is a meaningless metric for a single scaled number. Whichever system you are used to will be the more “intuitive”.
Also, climate can play into which system feels more useful. Where I live, 100F occurs only rarely (and since air conditioning is almost ubiquitous, not something I’d bother looking out for), while 0C is an outdoor temperature that I do need to be aware of for half the year.

No one will punish you for not returning the cart
My opinion on this is reason number 8735 why I will never, and should never, be in charge of a country.

I watched that movie on an airplane last week, and it was fine to me. What was the internet’s problem with it?

kids in FPS games razz me for speaking too formally.
Don’t worry about that one. It’s one of the few cases where the children are in fact wrong.

Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.
