Oh, then I agree with you 100%.
- Comment on multilevel marvel 2 days ago:
While I agree, I also think we have a responsibility to use language as a tool to be fair and precise. How should we react when for example far-right people start using the word “groomer” about LGBTQ people in general? Should we push back, or nod and say “interesting, this usage is catching on I guess”?

- Comment on average physics student vs POTUS 47 6 days ago:
Whenever I think about magnets I remember this Feynman interview where someone asks him why magnets behave the way they do, and he says that to answer a “why"-question you need a foundation where something is agreed to be true, and it seems like for electromagnetic forces we end up in " because that’s how the universe is apparently”.
- Comment on How did we get "bike" from "bicycle"? 1 week ago:
If the name Mike is a shortened Michael, it’s also possible that bike is a shortened Bichael, and that’s the proper name. The whole bicycle/bike similarity could be a coincidence.

Fun fact, the plural of tuber ischiadicum is tuberositas ischiadica. Maybe not fun, but… yes.

It would be interesting to see some statistics about contortionists and spondylolisthesis.

I wish I had pants like that, but instead of the stripes it’s the dermatomes, and in that position it just all makes sense.

Playing chess against people who have read chess books is the worst… you make one move and they go “ah.. the Toledo-Salamanca opening, I can checkmate in 34 moves.”

12000 bees sounds like a lot, but a normal hive can have around 50000 bees in the summer. One time I loaded 3 hives into the backseat of my car because they needed to be transported, and as I was driving I thought what if I hit a pothole or something and they all tip over, I’ll have like 150k bees in the car with me.

Top five Linux distros to try out while quarantined.
- Comment on Is Framework an ethical company? 1 month ago:
Are they “bending” more than what they are legally required to? Their model is that they cannot provide content if it was end-to-end encrypted, even if they were forced they just can’t. If someone pays for their account with a credit card that’s information they can be forced to give. I haven’t heard that they have gone beyond that and willingly given information. I don’t think we can blame a company for not breaking the laws of the country they operate in.

Me too! I haven’t thought about it much either, I’m happy with Graphene though.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 2 months ago:
There’s still over a year of OEM support left with official support etc, but have you started thinking about what to use after that? A newer pixel? Motorola? Something else entirely?

I’ve been using Debian for like 15 years, but recently I’ve been trying out OpenSuse, all the versions like Slowroll and Aeon too. It’s just… I keep returning to Debian. On tumbleweed I constantly had that eerie feeling of “oh gosh what changed today..?” What made you do the switch?
