Is way better to draw your finger perpendicular to the edge to feel the burr. That way you don’t cut yourself on the edge or the burr itself.

That’s an interesting question as to whether the infinity gauntlet rounds down.
Like, if there were 3 survivors of a species and thanos snapped the universe, does the gauntlet round up to 2 survivors, or down to one?

ChatGPT is a tool that is used for cheating.
The point of writing papers for school is to evaluate a person’s ability to convey information in writing.
If you’re using a tool to generate large parts of the paper, the teacher is no longer evaluating you, they’re evaluating chatGPT. That’s dishonest in the student’s part, and circumventing the whole point of the assignment.

That’s kind of like saying that ford can’t make a model t anymore.
I’m sure they could, there’s just no reason to.
I’m also sure the contractors that built the Saturn V, those that are still in business, could build equivalent parts today if the government asked.
The Saturn five was an absurdly large rocket designed specifically to get 3 people from earth to the moon. It was insanely expensive per launch, and the only reason it ever flew was because the government was writing nasa blank checks in order to beat the soviets.
Today the government wants a reasonable dollar figure for a launch, and the days of spending a billion dollars per launch are long past.

Are they trying to cook less transistors by just feeding less power in the first place?

To be fair, you can exploit Skyrim by looking at it funny.

- Comment on The new middle-class retirement plan: Working into old age 2 months ago:
Exactly.
I was shooting to have 1.5 million in investments, now I’m gonna need 2, which might be doable. But I’m also thinking that if it doubled before, it’s gonna double again, and 4 million invested is mathematically impossible for me to do, barring winning the lottery or making and selling a profitable company.
That’s why people are doing the bare minimum more often. If I’m never gonna get more than a week off of work every year for the rest of my natural life, what’s the motivation to do anything but the minimum.
- Comment on The new middle-class retirement plan: Working into old age 2 months ago:
I make good money, have a personal retirement account, and have a pension through my employer that will be vested in 10 years.
With inflation the way it is, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to fully retire. Most of my family made it well into their 80s, and there’s no way I’d be able to afford 15 years of retirement, let alone retire early like I originally planned.
It’s not just about saving. It’s if you can even possible save enough to retire these days. Unless you’re making truckloads of cash and are willing to live like a hermit for decades, it’s getting increasingly difficult to keep your head above water.

Surely there’s a way to do this industrially without using actual monkeys?
We know how stomachs work, we know the enzymes in their saliva, and we can even select the best gut bacteria for the best taste, stick it all in a warm bath for a few days and you’ll get the same thing.

After reading the children of time series, I choose to use octopodes simply due to the fact that they are beautifully narcissistic little bastards in those books.
Man is that a good, if gut wrenching series.

You can also press one button to configure a torrent to download first and last, allowing you to play a video while it streams in.
Anon can’t even torrent right, she just got scared that he’d be too stupid to put on the condom right.

Too bad it peaked 2000 years ago.
I know it’s kind of a meme, but Diogenes was really onto something. Don’t keep what you do not need, how can someone be respected as a person if they depend on servants, a wealthy ruler is no different from a slave once they’ve died, etc.
- Comment on Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO 3 months ago:
We’re still a long way off from that.
Remember, it took Hoovervilles and mass suicides to correct from black Tuesday, and there was just as much wealth inequality then as there is now.
Until a large portion of the economy just collapses, the government won’t do anything. And they’ve learned their lesson about letting things get that bad, so they’ll just balance us on a knife edge for as long as physically possible before things inevitably collapse.
Learn how to garden if you have the room. If not, learn how to can your own food and mend your own appliances and clothes. It’s going to get a whole lot worse before we get another new deal.

He also wandered into the Alaskan wilderness with basically just a sack of rice and a .22lr rifle.
He was a a couple miles from safety the entire time, but did not buy a map so believed he was stranded when the river rose and cut off the main trail. But there was another trail with a raised cable crossing over the river a few miles upstream.
He was totally unprepared and essentially just committed extended suicide. The fact that he remembered some basic tips from a Boy Scout handbook doesn’t mean he was an expert. Kid was an idiot who got in way over his head.
- Comment on What song would cause you to do this to yourself ? 3 months ago:
I used to work in a mall as a teenager/very young adult.
Our holiday playlist consisted of 4 songs.
One of them of was Mariah Carey’s all I want for Christmas is you.
I heard that song every 12 minutes for 2 months. 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It now actives some kind of sleeper agent programming in me. All I want for Christmas is to watch a store burn to the ground around me.
- Comment on Watching videos of people screaming "shooter on the roof" at law enforcement 3 months ago:
You see, the problem wasn’t that the agents didn’t follow through on tips from the public, or have a marksman on the highest available rooftop for surveillance and counter sniping. No, the issue was that the agents could not simply shoot through the building to get the shooter.
That’s why they need recoiless rifles for the agents
- Comment on “It’s sick” 3 months ago:
There’s a lot of armchair snipers all of a sudden who are saying they can hit a few inch group at 100 yards with their eyes closed.
Given lemmy’s demographic, I’m not sure how many of these people have actually held a rifle, let alone tried to shoot it at +100 yards while under a time crunch and stress.
Not saying what the kid did was right, but criticism of his marksmanship isn’t really fair.

- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 6 months ago:
I agree with you, but the prewar era of the game is not the 1950s.
The bombs dropped in 2077. The main divergence of the fallout timeline is that they didn’t discover the transistor until the 2060s or so. Which is why everything has that bulky style to it. The 50s style is also attributed to a kind of cultural renaissance to that era. Kind of like how sometimes hairstyles come back after decades of being out of style, only for an entire time period.
