A cabal of Digi-tech-al robber Barons running the country openly. Elon Musk is going to be a staff member of the US Government.

To your point, removed hard r was a common phrase as well unfortunately is becoming more common again in the us.

Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it should not be laid ro rest

Hoy Fong Sriracha story is a hell of a ride, highly recommend checking out the wiki

Ahh hells yeah

Stoned Wheat Thins.

Cant fucking believe they stopped making the best cracker in the world

They’ve grown up on iOS and Android, and they expect touchscreens and that type of interface.

Not sure why you are explaining what i said to me again in a different way, but thats pretty much what the bulk of what i rambled was about

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wonder if age is a better indicator than grade. I’ve been using Firefox since before navigator 1.2 and won’t be surprised if today’s 5th graders can manage tech in circles around me.

I grew up with grandparents that couldn’t figure out how to press one button on the vcr to turn the tv back on. That button was labelled “TV-Video”

I dont have any young people in my life so i don’t know what old person things i do, but like Grampa Simpson said, it will happen to me, and I have no doubt about it already happening to me

Bonus* I’m still so happy that i discovered on my own that i can swipe left and right on the space bar button to move my cursor left and right on my android phone. That simple thing helped me out and satisfies in in a cat who caught the canary kind of way and I’m sure there are dozens of things that would improve my ability to use and navigate new tech just as much that any 5th grader could probably show me

I’ve been using firefox since it was still netscape navigator 1.2

I have no idea what you are even talking about.

That’s why it’s an advanced setting.

The average user is dumber than you think. I’m the case in point.

Or maybe not, since i know that all the annoying “you actually need to know what the hell any of this shit is settings, or you better be using a very good guide to change these settings” are super easy to find by going into the about:config.

Having to search through endless menus and submenus for basic settings is annoying AF. Those settings should be as easy and obvious as possible for everyone who cant use about:config to do what you need to do

There are legit reasons to mention it

With enough money i think you could do that

Oh really? What makes it more difficult?

Okay I’m done with this you are just being obstinate or intentionlly trolling me

Not at all. Never really have been though and it’s been 43 years so at least I’m used to it.

Thank you. Surprisingly unvulgar and not at all cynical

Ren : Hi Ren

Okay Ojay okay. Help me out. Why are you claiming that this is the question?

“The question was: how does someone find out something is peer reviewed”

Please literally show where you see this being asked. It was not asked in the top comment, nor is it necessary to ask. I don’t understand why you feel it is silly or unnecessary as it is very clearly used for a specific purpose when i read the top comment.

Again you are wrong. It was not the question of the top comment you responded to. That was a follow up question that is irrelevant because the comment you that started this discussion cleanly clearly and unambiguously removed any need to discuss how to find out if something is peer reviewed by the first words they started the comment with.

If it is peer reviewed…

And they gave an example of something that you could do to further verify a peer reviewed paper. You can replicate the experiment and get the same results but then offered an example where there might be a problem with only reproducing the results, to them anyway

No one said it wasn’t correct… Why did you even bring that up?!? You accused the person you first replied to it, describing a process that isn’t the peer review process, skipping that they used the process they described only on something that is already peer reviewed…

I was(perhaps a poor attempt) trying to be a bit silly but pointing out a mistake you made accusing them of something they didnt do. But you just dont want to let it go and keep drilling deeper. Its quite surprising to me you can’t just say, oh whoops, and carry on

Whoa whoa whoa, i didn’t say no kids just the good ones that can do the work of all the ones not needed. And no we didn’t pay them more, less actually, since we have to re coup the cost of the new hardware. Don’t talk crazy talk

Your reasoning doesn’t matter if it’s being applied to the wrong problem.

This is not about OP.

Okay i laughed

Has nothing to do with OPs question. You missed the very first sentence to the comment your first responded to
