  I mean other countries already proved it works. USA just needs to wake up and enjoy good things

  Of course!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zen⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Similar when I was in the UK at a Fish and Chip shop. Sikh man asking if I want Curry on my Chips, and then after paying and leaving he says “Ta Mate”

  Then maybe there is a better relationship out there for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a word for this sort of behavior?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if it can be good sometimes it isn’t worth it if that’s how you feel other times. First step is talking to partner about how you feel, to see if they are commited to making changes to the relationship to help suit what you need. But if they don’t want to, then its probably the wrong relationship for you

  I’m still running a 2010 Iomega NAS. Swapped the Lenovo OS that they updated it to to plain Debian, because the “upgrade” from Iomega OS to the version they released under Lenovo had ads in the admin menus.

  Won’t anyone think about the oil?

  Chav doesn’t mean poor. A Chav is the obnoxious self entitled type that wants to be trouble. Picture a younger “Karen” but with more energy and probably sports ware or clubbing outfit

  Aka how to make it worse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spoopy figs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it changed my love of figs a bit. Fig Newtons…now with 25% less wasps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spoopy figs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not 100% accurate. Some wasps get trapped, not all. And there exists a fig species that doesn’t need wasps

  That’s my wife.

  Net York trying to get subtractive manufacturing CNC mills to obey this is going to be a trick.

  The controller just runs Gcode for positioning and speeds. They’d need to preprocess the gcode through an AI database to check if the path builds a gun part shape then allow machining or block it.

  Inevitably somebody will just replace the controller with a home grown system.

  And a CNC mill can still run manual cuts a single passes that may not appear to look like a part, when done separately

  This is old clueless men trying to make laws about technology they don’t understand.

  Trump said that too, but nothing happened

  I know, not my speculation, it was we conspiracy theory

  Apparently just days before the shooting he told parties involved he would no longer tow the Israel line

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I saw your face in a crowded place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I was like 40 at my kids baseball game and she was under 20. Just a good parlor trick

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can people irl be as mean as some people online?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Some people are just assholes and don’t care what they say or do. Online anonymity let’s people who are too afraid of consequences (in real life) be assholes too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I saw your face in a crowded place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had an obscure/rare name tattooed on my arm. I was at a place and this girl called out to her friend, and it was the rare name.

  So I moved over to them slowly so as not to make it obvious and mid convo I said hey are you (name), she was like yeah? And I raised my sleeve. Her seing her rare name as a tattoo…the shock and stuff , her face was priceless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nice horsie! 🐎⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Might take more than centuries, but yes.

  We have a rescue dog from Korea as well as some neighbours ( not a standard breed, but a Korean Village dog, they basically live alongside humans as a breed but developed their own way). They are much different than “normal” dogs. They are more like cats. Their way on their terms. Like other dogs, don’t enjoy humans much. So even though they are domesticated, they still show the old lineage of being independent. My dogs idea of a good time is never chasing a stick or ball, but finding the highest vantage point at a park and watching everyone. A carryover from watching the plains from the hillside, or something.

  I don’t think bad marks were justified. This is how I see every interaction go with polyglot colleagues, its like a modem handshake and they settle into the most comfortable common language

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ESL homework⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What was interesting about my son with down syndrome: as he learned to read he became a master at reading cursive…somehow.

  We’d hand him Christmas cards that we struggled to read from old European relatives(that wrote in older script) and somehow he’d read it off no problem.

  My guess is words always needed decoding for him and context played a role in guessing the word, so it became a skill somehow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Website⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s already happening.

  We get support tickets from professional engineers.

  Sometimes it is “my software isn’t working send me how to get it working.” No details on what is not working or what they were doing, so we have to dig the information from them. Like “is your computer on, do you have a network connection, are you connected to your work server, oh you thought google search access is same as VPN to work? …”

  Its rare to get somebody on the call that says “when I open this file and do this, this other thing happens, and here is the sample file and steps I did”

  Other things are like: “This software is supposed to output this in this way, but it’s not.”
  So we open the dialog and watch their steps, software says select objects to export, they are clicking Ok with no result, so we have to point out the message they are supposed to read…see where it says select an object to export, and it is highlighted in yellow to draw your attention and has a red asterisk? Yes? Well they are talking to you, you have to do the action required.

  I can understand grandma not understanding software, but an engineer is supposed to be a problem solver.

  That’s the joke. Guys says his job is done for, by buddy building a website via chatgpt, except the guy knows nothing about how the internet works.

  Heh, we were doing some cosigner banking and I asks my one adult kid to send me the bank documents needed (they were pdf files on their computer). They sent me low res screen shots. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Save as PDF⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you need to flatten it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Save as PDF⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Gmail reads the images with OCR and adds it to search terms. Your steps are a noble effort to increase reverse engineering effort, however there are image to text desktop apps now so that effort on the receivers side is almost nothing these days.

  Yes. Your body would panic immediately.
