- Comment on How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach? 1 week ago:
I don’t know what we you’re referring to, but in the part of central Ontario where my nephew attends school, the French immersion schools are most definitely teaching Quebecois French.
I tried speaking real French with my nephew and he reacted as if I was a space alien.

Because instead of risking bodily injury I can be there in 10 minutes? Public transport in my town is a joke. I have to walk 5 minutes to the nearest bus stop, take it to the central station which is an hour, then another hour bus to work.

It was minus seventeen degrees celsius when I got up yesterday. In the time it would take me to bicycle to work on clear paths/roads - assuming no accidents - I would have frostbite on all of my face unless I was also wearing a full-face helmet.

Fair enough. The ice runways in Antarctica seem like a good example of ‘no intersections,’ don’t they?

Oh, I like that a lot.
- Comment on Typical from my so called imaginary friend 2 months ago:
You’re right, let me prefix with that.
It’s not unusual for normies to casually throw out a self deprecating statement when fishing for a complement; eg., “Ugh, I’m such an ugly cow today” - to which the expected response is something like “no babe, you look SOOO good!”
Personally, I’ve tended to ignore such statements entirely, which has shrunk the number of people who speak to me significantly…and I am just fine with that.
Do with that information what you will, but I’m also neuro-spicy - so don’t use my behavior as a measuring stick.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 months ago:
Except the 20 core laptop I have draws the same wattage as the previous one, so to go back to your bulletproof vest analogy, it’s like doubling the stopping power by adding more plates, except the all the new plates weigh the same as and take up the same space as all the old plates.

My 4 year old work laptop had a quad core CPU. The replacement laptop issued to me this year has a 20-core cpu. The architecture change has already happened.

That was clever. Thanks for the share.
- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 2 months ago:
No, but being in Spain during the summer lends itself to doing as the locals do. I couldn’t have given less of a care about what time zone I was in.
- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 2 months ago:
I spent about a week in Toledo, Spain for a wedding a few years ago during the summer. We were taking siestas on our second day there and eating dinner at 10pm.
It was actually quite enjoyable operating on the Spanish time-conventions.
- Comment on Anon hates Apple 2 months ago:
He had one of the few treatable forms of pancreatic cancer and skipped the only known treatment in favour of homeopathic.
If he had “normal” pancreatic cancer I’d maybe give him some slack. It’s just not treatable. But what he had was probably survivable had he treated it immediately.

Well, if there’s only 2 switches then 2x 2-way is enough. Otherwise, it’s (n-2)x 3-way switches plus 2x 2-way.

- Comment on Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me) 4 months ago:
I have to disagree. I support a Multi-Site org where all windows printing goes through cups servers first, we’ve never had a problem connecting any printer. If anything, it makes it easier for us to replace printers as we can keep the same print queue and send it to the physical replacement printer without the windows devices needing to do anything.

- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 4 months ago:
Saying a ceasefire is needed and the Palestinians must have the ability to live in their homes is not supporting genocide. As far as I’m concerned, anyone that used that as a justification to not vote Democrat is an idiot, as Trump has already indicated he doesn’t care what Israel does and has no intention of trying to stop them from spreading violence.
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 4 months ago:
Right, because Harris supports genocide. Where did she say that? I’d just like to read it for myself.
Oh, she didn’t say that? She must have said that Israel should be allowed to continue military operations unchecked.
She didn’t?
She must be supporting the use of American forces over there.
No?
She must be helping to funnel weapons then.
No?
…so what exactly is she doing to support genocide? Oh, I remember. She keeps going over there to disembowel the babies herself when she has spare time.
We already know Trump thinks that Israel should be free to invade everyone over there, and intends to deport Palestinians who don’t already have permanent residency…
Help me understand why Harris is the bad choice here.

- Comment on The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing 5 months ago:
Offering visitors a nes or SNES classic - which are recent, official, Nintendo products would be less embarrassing than using a windows PC.
- Comment on Why, in English at least, is the letter W called "double U" and not "double V"? 5 months ago:
Cursive was dropped because everyone uses computers and phones now, almost nobody bothers to write with a pen at all beyond signing their name on government or corporate documents
- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 5 months ago:
What’s weird about this is that it should be getting a response from IIS like you showed us in the screenshot.

- Comment on Anon uses a phone book 6 months ago:
My Father had a ‘car phone’ from 1990-1999ish and switched to a nokia 3210 or similar. While he had the ‘car phone’, he kept a phone book in the car. By the time of the Nokia, his outbound calling was predictable enough that he either had it saved on the phone or he used ‘411’ to have an operator look up the number.
