If you think Sundar is bad, just wait to see who Wall Street picks to replace him.

North South Dakota, Mountain Mama just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Dual booters are fem-boys with anime body pillows.

Those brave enough to take the full plunge and single boot Linux are fem-men with anime body pillows.

That’s 9m globally compared to the 1.6m/4.4m in Spain. They’re still adding new users in emerging market countries. I’d imagine the issue is that their users are falling off in their previously established markets (probably western countries, which I’m guessing make more money per sub too).

that’s what you get for not living in the US.

peaks my interest

Pique - verb - arouse (interest or curiosity). “with his scientific curiosity piqued, he was looking forward to being able to analyse his find”

I’d much prefer a manufacturer that issues recalls over over one with a perfect track record. No one is perfect. At least one of them is acknowledging and fixing their mistakes.

As a ~20 year vim user, and by no means a proficient power user (any time I end up in recording mode, I just mash ESC repeatedly until this start behaving normally again.), I think it’s just “it’s easier for someone that doesn’t know how to use it to learn, than it is for everyone that already knows how to use it to relearn”.

Like the damn scroll options on laptop trackpads. Multitouch scroll down = scroll down. Then someone decided it needed to match the way phone scrolling works after smartphones became popular, so now there’s lots of scroll down = scroll up software behavior. But the options are still there to behave neither way. If you don’t like the vim commands, you’re free to install something that behaves in a way that you expect. If you do like vim commands, install it and get the behavior that users have come to expect for the last 20+ years.

If you can remember this, you can remember how to save and quit

1/3 pint is 189 ml, so basically a glass of wine at 1/4 a bottle is a third of a pint. It’s pretty much the sweet spot where metric and imperial meet for volume measurements.

A mission statement is a statement of purpose. Their mission statement is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”. That has not changed

“Don’t be evil” was their motto. It was replaced with “Do the right thing”, and “Don’t be evil” was moved to the last line of the Code of Conduct.

“I am a proven traitor to America and attempted to oppress the will of its people because I am an American patriot and I love my country!”

Secedes from Union

I feel like it’s more like line 5. He’s admitting fault, just “didn’t mean” to harm the election process.

I guess we’ll see “you don’t deserve democracy” some time over the next year and our election really will be a question of if we want to become a fascist state or not

You can talk about other aspects of Google and their stance as related to advertising, but they have always been LGBT friendly from day 1. Both the employees and company as a whole. They released this 13 years ago: https://youtu.be/pYLs4NCgvNU?si=5NizEf8XAf8CPyBs

Here’s a really crazy thing that we do: have Mac & cheese made by someone other than Kraft. It actually is exceptional.

• Roux: flour + oil/butter
• Bechamel: milk + roux
• Mornay sauce: cheese + bechamel

“are you trafficking illegal aliens?”

“Yes sir officer, but with the express intent of killing them.”

“… I’m gonna need you to step out of the truck…”

During this exchange air is run over a compressed coolant which cools the air and reintroduces it back to the room

That’s just an air conditioner. The difference between an air conditoner and a heat pump is that a heat pump has a reversal valve that allows the refrigerant to run backwards through the system.

My point is someone is using a whole bunch of words to say “I’d air-condition my server room”. It’s not exactly a ground breaking idea.

Lol wat?

Their train infrastructure is fucking amazing.

Kinda hard to forget SCUBA. Self contained underwater breathing apparatus
