Yeah, in this sense I agree. I’m overanalyzing again.

Science laws won’t cease to exist, but if you wipe out everyone’s memory, their knowledge of that science will cease to exist - so they’ll have to figure it out from zero - and there’s no guarantee that there won’t be another placeholder in a sense (i.e. what religions have been historically) for what’s yet to understand.

Technically correct if you die… with the caveat that you won’t be able to do much else.

If you mean the literal Kardashians, they’re only a dozen, but figuratively it’s like a gebericised trademark and there are thousands of people like that.

There’s a whole lot of people who are basically famous with being famous…
- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 1 month ago:
If you have to just open a website related to work, it’s fine, but in some instances, in order to access work resources, the phone has to be managed by the company, so this creates an obvious concern about private data. I guess “taking pictures and using social media” from the example here doesn’t fall under that category, but that doesn’t mean it’s the same for other cases.
Even if it’s not that complicated, it might be just about separating work from private life. If I have to use a phone for work, I’d personally much prefer it to be a separate device that I can turn off and put in a drawer when I don’t need it.

Apple vs Samsung aside, she wasn’t concerned with using her own phone for work?

The weird thing is that they’re usually only bad in comparison to all the newer games you’ve played after that.

People do this on digital too.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 2 months ago:
One of the few positives of today’s designs is the better screen-to-body ratios that we have. This would mean that we can have a 5" screen in the same physical body size that previously used to house a 4 point something inch screen. But for some reason the latest flagship small phones are from a few years ago - I guess sales figures show they’re not sought after.

Yeah, fair point. Thanks for explaining. Not a native speaker, so I kind of forgot about that.
- Comment on Are there any better mechanical keyboards that don't break the bank? 2 months ago:
General advice - don’t be picky about dedicated media controls; sure they’re nice to have, but they severely limit your choices (I was in that boat too). At the same time it’s very easy to make key combinations; e.g. the Caps Lock key very often gets neglected, and if this is the case for you, you can repurpose it to Fn, and from there you can do Fn+W to play/pause, Fn+Q/Fn+E for prev/next track respectively and so on (of course the specific keys are up to you). Look for QMK/VIA support over manufacturer-specific software.
Sorry I can’t give a more specific recommendation. I second the idea that Keychron generally have good value for the money, so do Vortex and Ducky (although Ducky have gone up in price while not staying very competitive).

“Пиян като мотика”. Translates from Bulgarian to “Drunk as a mattock”. I remember asking my dad about this phrase when I was a kid - “Why? Do mattocks drink?” - and he answered “No, they fall down”. Classic dad.

In this line of thought I like how “tool” is something useful in its primary meaning, but derogatory when used about a person.

- Comment on Old fashioned 3 months ago:
I’m a fan of physical media and at the same time I don’t believe in its supremacy; I don’t think it’s more practical than digital files for example.
I still like it because 1) it can be a way to directly support artists that I like and 2) it’s a way to own content instead of renting it.

Ironically enough other standards appeared because of the need of more torque.
