• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what I assume happened. They probably used a program that allows each string to be localized individually and the translator(s) didn’t think to make it match the other strings which would have required looking up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, thanks...⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  ahem

  (the first one is still there, you need to remove it or replace it with an exclamation mark so more people understand it)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was a meme here, it's gone now. Oh wait. No, there it is.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought maybe stability. I think you are still raw but definitely dangling over the fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, I read the original comment backwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But if you type it as “[RTL invert]yyyy/mm/dd” it is automatically sorted correctly in ltr parsing systems but still displayed correctly (assuming it is supported which it seems to be on most devices nowadays).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair I read it as 12A PR 2025 (yes I am stupid). It could also be the 12th version of the main PR of 2025. I’m not great with abbreviations and when it comes to months I’m also not used to it. Numbers seem superior to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Should work if you have an RTL invert character before, right? (Not that you could name files with the slashes.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Germany officially specified it for documents for a while but that was amended to also allow for dd.mm.yyyy since not enough people actually used ISO 8601.

  If you’re hot enough and place a mirror below you blackbody radiation should do a pretty good job at preventing that. If you’re not that hot you might need extra patience and without the mirror it might not be too effective.

  Now that I think about it this might be considered as parts of oneself leaving earth though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I had no idea y cunt was this powerful⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would expect lesbians to be best at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The currency that the moneyless society uses to exchange goods with other societies that do have money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Testosterone vs. IQ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Group makes it seem like less than it actually is, but still fair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨p r e s s u r e⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s so colourful! It makes being gender fluid seem boring…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Chrome only?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Firefox gives me a popup (for YouTube at least). I think this might be outdated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Chrome only?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Checking the signature seems like it would be good practice. But that doesn’t mean that they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is the season soon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ideally without generative ai if you want to make a more human friendly contribution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I consistently used males and females in some contexts but I’ve noticed that it often still comes across as weird when talking about humanoids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A real TTY would be really cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How on earth?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you’ve done all the other things?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought I would be at the low end at 12…

  Maybe the younger people didn’t have the patience to read all 20 bullet points and comment as well?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Virgin Physicists⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An experimental physicist should know as far as I know meanwhile a real (theoretical) physicist would probably not even touch numbers that have those scary decimals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So bad its laugha--... explodable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also the valence shell is the outer shell and any shell with n>1 would require more than 2 electrons to be noble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rocky rock rocking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “other shit” being mostly electrons and photons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They said the packaging would be discreet!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, I forgot that was how they did in some places. It does seem rather disrespectful to park there then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They said the packaging would be discreet!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What does LPT stand for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They said the packaging would be discreet!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you pull away before paying normally? Would the clerk still know which bill is yours then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unstable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing that hot in this case means slightly warmer than body temperature, not boiling right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨^_^ I just think skibidibi sounds neat :3⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s my first loss today. That’s pretty good for me. I’m really bad at the game.
