- Comment on How Old We're You when You Learned the Word, "Fascist"? 21 hours ago:
12ish or so, when we learned about Mussolini. It wasn’t that substantive, though, since it took quite a lot longer to learn to differentiate between fascism and Nazism.
- Comment on What's the name of the early-mid 2000's song that sounds like Beyonce, starts with a "dun...dun... dun DUN!" guitar part, and the singer makes this "dabudabudabu" sound? 1 week ago:
Record a him/whistle sample and upload somewhere

Here!
Also, whenever I want to show something I usually go to cling/nowhereelsetoshare
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 1 week ago:
Can’t brain today, I have the dumb. What’s TOTP, other than that BBC show?
- Comment on Would one run faster without arms? 1 week ago:
While I do enjoy Windows (And TIL that Bill Baley is good at running backwards… I hadn’t seen that episode), I take some of their facts with a grain of salt, as it’s primarily an entertainment show. They do tend to oversimplify and miss some nuance from time to time.
- Comment on What do they do with aborted fetuses? 1 week ago:
Burnt in dedicated incinerators. Some hospitals have these as a means of disposing of tissue after surgeries.
- Comment on Would one run faster without arms? 1 week ago:
Doubt it. Arms are used for counterbalancing the legs while running, and without arms you won’t be able to use your legs as vigorously. Otherwise the torque would cause you to turn around.
- Comment on During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today? 1 week ago:
Like… 'Nilla?

The N-word, presumably
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 1 week ago:
I get my drivers from Ironside, and bits from Bosch.
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 1 week ago:
It is. But everyone needs a dedicated PH2. With torx, a bit set is the better approach.

- Comment on If someone evil want to murder a lot of people, couldn't they just add prions to meat and slowly infect everyone with Prion Diseases? 1 week ago:
No, he’s currently preparing a cure. The evil version is in this universe. You just haven’t gotten around to it… Yet
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 1 week ago:
Can confirm. I had some of the higher ups explain this exact thing to me once when I needed to drive somewhere, and it made sense from all angles to use my own (Otherwise I’d have to first drive two hours in the wrong direction to pick up the rental)
We ended up with a policy change that allowed for private cars being used with the explicit go-ahead from the line manager.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 2 weeks ago:
I really hope to see official declare a “war on porn”. Considering how terrorism and drugs won the previous two, I’m sure it’s gonna be a fun watch from the sidelines.

Ambiguous headline. Is Tomonobu dead or isn’t he?
- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 2 weeks ago:
I got back into hobby electeonics after life getting in my way for 20ish years. And wow things are a lot more available and out of the box than before.
Lately I’ve been getting into I²C peripherals. They’re pretty cheap too. Wanna build an X that does Y? Adafruit probably has some breakout board for you that does what you need. Hook it up to your platform of choice (Rasoberry pi, arduino, etc etc) via four wires (well, 2… I just run power from a raspberry oi as well) and you’re good to go.
Optional: Combine it with a 3D printer to make chassis and mounting platforms.
I now have a raspberry pi that knows its absolute orientation, altitude, and position. I’m currently working on PWM input for receiving inputs from an RC radio I happened to have. After that it’s PWM output to control servos. I might build it into a semi autonomous RC plane/drone or similar. We’ll see where this project takes me.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 2 weeks ago:
Model trains, stamps, and books. Unless your last name was Cavendish - Then you’d be making amazing scientific breakthroughs and not tell anyone, only to get credit posthumously after someone reads your lab notes.

Disclaimer: I am not a mod
I’d say sure, go for it. As long as it can be thought of as a stupid question and/or with a simple ananswer outside of this board. If not, consider AskLemmy.
- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t coin it and its use is fairly widespread, so go ahead.

- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 4 weeks ago:
Function over form every day all day. Duck others.
I’ve been a jeans and T-shirt guy for well over 30 years at this point. - Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 4 weeks ago:
Can’t remember the name, but there was a Finn in charge if Nokia who ended up running that into the ground through a series of bad decisions to the point where MS could buy Nokia for cheap. And he ended up in a leading position (might even be that he was CEO, I don’t remember) around the time when MS really accelerated their enshitification focus.
- Comment on Can a person who is a convicted felon/ rapist even get nominated for the Nobel Peace Price? Extra points if you can ELI5 that. 4 weeks ago:
He was basically in charge of the Cambodian bombing campaign, calling out which targets were to be bombed without much of any intelligence indicating that it was a valid military target.
Also, he was closely tied to the Johnson administration and suddenly he was offered a position in the Nixon administration. While not proven there are a lot of suspicious indicators that he may have intentionally botched the peace negotiations in Vietnam in an effort to give Johnson poor standing before the election so that Nixon could be the one ending the war. In other words; If true he intentionally pr longed the war in return for a position in the Nixon cabinet.

They can, yes. It is worth noting that some recipients were convicted for various “crimes” in their home countries, such as the Chinese human rights activist who won it in 2010.
Plus, five words: Henry Fucking War Criminal Kissinger. 1973.
- Comment on Are there any decor people here? I ask because in the Big Lebowski it begins with a rug that tied the room together. In your opinion did it? 4 weeks ago:
Two negatives cancel each other out, so I think you should answer the question anyway.
- Comment on I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions) 4 weeks ago:
One of the other question oriented boards have recurring questions about work place drama and changing positions. It has gitten to the point where I can see thr title qnd know who the poster is. Not mentioning names, but your post is different enough to know you’re not them.
