  Honestly, I’d probably think I was dissociating first

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha I thought this.

  I think it would wear one wide i item wide set of pants, and each leg would have one column

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mushrooms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is mushroom for research

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half as Hot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably want it between the winter temperature and the current summer temperature, but genies are traditionally fickle and pounce on any ambiguity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proud globohomo⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could be this confident about anything

  Is linear algebra older than 0? Hang on (no, it is not, formalised in 17th century)

  In my CS course, at least, it was treated as “engineering”, so we did both linear algebra and C programming. For everyone counting from 1 was more natural and the C method had to be taught a few times throughout the course (starting with java loops, which wasn’t used for malloc, OOP was probably the first unit anyone did for CS). As a habit it tended to stick even where we didn’t really use it (or in languages that don’t, e.g. lua), given how grueling C programming was and the other languages that were downstream of it.

  I guess you could analogise things like saying “17th century” is 1600-1699 (first century is 0001 to 0099, I guess), in CS you are counting the very start of a thing (e.g. how many apple-widths to get to the first apple), vs the more common how many apples to have gotten the first apple. Or something, idk,

  I’m drunk and avoiding housework, sorry

  Is there a reason for the convention other than that’s how most people count? (Which is a perfectly fine reason, I’m just curious)

  Investors do not play video games, which… What else are they doing with their time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Vacuum Cleaners Are So Loud⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve started using a broom for most things, only using the vacuum for corners and carpets. I realised I was cleaning less because the noise stressed me out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘The Crow’ remake ends its theater run. how much did it make?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was certainly a movie.

  My hand is a lot smaller than a chicken, so I hope everyone is prepared to have roast my hand as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PhD Funding⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These are the well paid conspiracists making up climate change nods

  (My memory of phds on campus was they were very overworked and desperate for cash, I assume conspiracy theorists whose conspiracy relies on the silence of many grads do not know many phds)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burning Up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, I can only speak from my experience. I have a couple of thermometers in my room that give decimals, but my air con doesn’t give decimal options and the government meteorological service doesn’t either. I certainly don’t think I can tell the difference between 39 and 39.2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Curse of Knowledge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, but like… Everyone down the chain gets the joke, I don’t know what the problem is. Open your wine with the penis thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you skip Star Trek intros when streaming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, where’s that option in VLC? (I’d probably skip if given the choice, I remember wanting to constantly with game of thrones but whoever I was with insisted on watching the entire 5 hours every time)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands is being fast-tracked to video on demand services⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It should be added to any humble bundle that includes a borderlands game

  The text at the bottom suggests that you can also use the trees planting year to determine its age. Which is also true

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aluminum⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a critique? That’s pretty dope

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aluminum⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just spent 4 hours renaming every instance of “aluminum” into “aluminium” in a bunch of inventor projects. >.>

  To me, addicting feels like it should be a verb, like cigarette advertising is addicting youth, whereas addictive is an adjective
