Dialup? In 2006? Pretty sure we’d had ADSL for well over five years by then, pretty sure everyone had switched where I lived (not USA).

“30 below [zero]” expected
- Comment on Anon gets corrected 2 weeks ago:
This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from “guys” to “dudes” when it’s about the former word…

I guess that’s not totally wrong but I think being Muslim is definitely one of the things that is scary about the migrants

Fear mongering from the RN/AFD/PVV/PP/FdI/PiS/Fidesz and other Nazis like them
- Comment on Anon visits America 4 weeks ago:
No, they’re right, it’s extremely unrealistic to lose much weight in fat in one week. Even if you ate literally nothing and hiked up mountains 12 hours a day, which is obviously impossible, it’d be maximum like 10 pounds. Walking a bit and eating normally? No more than 2, that’s already extremely rapid weight loss.
Water weight on the other hand you can easily lose more than 5 pounds in a day.
- Comment on UFO sightings 4 weeks ago:
That’s not flying, it’s falling (and based on the shape of many flightless birds, rather likely without style)

every bird is a UFO if…
Not all birds fly

It’s a good joke but American oligarchs are much richer than Russian ones

Yes, Russia became capitalist so

Mostly water, in that case
- Comment on I'm literally a thinking lump of fat 1 month ago:
Right, but it doesn’t capture the whole story, namely that it’s arranged in a very particular way

Best to rest the comment you’re replying to before going on a tirade - this guy interrupted OPs conversation to lecture them, it’s a proportionate response
- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 1 month ago:
Sales tax, has different acronyms in different countries such as Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST)…

- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 month ago:
Yes, I’m talking about the state owned companies versus both private companies and individual landlords, rents with the state owned ones are like 20% or more lower than the others and they are usually more responsive to fixing problems, don’t play too many games
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 month ago:
Yes, that’s ideal. In Germany (where there is a culture much more oriented towards renting than owning) there are a lot of state run landlords and they are great to rent from, reasonable rents, reasonable to deal with (in the local context), etc. And of course they have good laws to protect tenants to back it up. Not necessarily a perfect system but definitely one the rest of the world can learn from. Unfortunately things are still heading in the wrong direction there too right now.

“Commend” is not as difficult for me so I just remember it as re-commend

There’s nothing “special” in the way you imagine about quantum phenomena. They are complicated to describe mathematically because we are limited to a fundamentally imperfect set of symbols, but they are not complicated to obtain the requirements for.
All chemical and light-interaction processes use quantum phenomena if you dig enough into how they work, and it’s especially clear on a smaller scale. If you just make something thin enough, it will start displaying quantum effects, but there is nothing that complicated about “thin”.

The US does have a homicide rate 3-5 times greater than other developed countries and a gun death rate 20-50 times greater than other developed countries, and in line with Guatemala, El Salvador etc.

Hoe dan dat ik er nog nooit van gehoord heb? 'k heb ook nog nooit in Nederland geleefd, er zijn veel dingen die ik niet ken. Alleen een beetje de taal bijhouden hebben mijn ouders wel voor gezorgd, maar niet dat ik wist wat zo’n eitje was.

Because she actually wants to go on the date and it’s easier to miss on purpose than guarantee for sure getting it? Idk, it’s awkward af but kids are awkward and there’s all kinds of dumb gender stuff tied up in girls asking boys out directly so it’s forgivable imo.

Source? This seems almost impossible

Yes, but if you stir it into a warm sauce it will mostly dissolve and it will still substantially improve it compared to no salt at all.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 2 months ago:
I don’t really like Go either, but it’s better than Java, and it’s pretty good for Big Software ™. In the end, every language has some problems. Java just has all of them.
