Falling for conspiracy theories is a mental disorder. They’re failing to process information critically. They couldn’t write anything because writing requires skill, persistence, and consistency.

“Thank you dealer, I would like to discard all 5 of those cards you played now, thanks.”

I mean, some of those things are just because online recipes are usually shit. You can pretty much always use a spice blend instead of salt and pepper, you can always add Chile powder at any concentration you desire, and you should always double the garlic (at least). Granted, some of this is because most recipes are written by AI nowadays.

Actors say this shit all the time, particularly when they know they’re a critical character in the middle of an unfinished successful series. I wish I could just tell my boss I’m retiring then come back a week later just to do the work I was always planning on doing after my boss wrote a check for $10 million.

Or, more accurately, ‘a novel that is at most partially by Lena McDonald’.

Kind of incredible how we pretty much invented those 3 extra numbers to make sure that knowing what’s on the front won’t he enough to use it, and then we undid that by putting it on the back. https://xkcd.com/2677/

And MinusJs depends on AngularJs and VueJs for some reason, but that’s just the cost of doing business!

Because Mozilla is the master of bad ideas and most open source projects are leaving github, not joining it.

Remember the meme where all the parentheses are on the right hand side? This meme is the same.

As a former student who tried to stay on top of the absurd logistics of making use of my premium license, it sucks. Once a year you have to dig up your old account credentials, and it’s always when you’re in the middle of a high stakes project. Worrying about licensing sucks, even when someone else is paying for it.

Unironically, this is a very cool tool as an import profiler.

Literally everything republicans say repeatedly now is basically a dogwhistle for “I don’t care about other people”.

Remember the T-Rex is female…

I remember seeing a guy with a gamertag EA_C_Suite, and I think I killed him like 30 times in one match. I think this one’s on me guys, sorry, I just really like Scortch.

Sure we are, it’s called Northstar Client

All the homies hate chess.c*m

Super weird, yeah. Both the upper and lower ends have some slope, so it’s not just “ghost points”. Thr points are connected in a contour, so the data really is going back in time, then reaching new values.

It gets weirder the more I try to solve it.

An orbit is analogous to position. Trying to predict the position of planets proved difficult to do accurately. People had figured out velocity a long time ago, but no one had ever explored the concept of describing an orbit just from the accelerations of the planets. It turns out acceleration has a fairly simple equation, and in order to get back to the observable thing of orbits, you need to integrate it twice. Newton was the first person to describe acceleration and to use it to predict the motion of planets. Especially for predicting Mars, it was essential because Jupiter is massive enough and close enough to alter its orbit, so simple Kepler’s Laws aren’t sufficient to describe the orbit.

Voldemort did it first. You can chop off your nose any time you’d like.

Almost certainly, they’re counting on their “audits” consisting of a script that looks for “$500 per week” in the descriotion to confirm that they’re posting ads.
