Que no los dos?

20yrs ago I had to help my comp sci housemate build a website for his module. I was not a CS student.

Some things never change.

Alt: a single pane comic in which a person says to another person: "silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.

The other person says: “and quartz, of course”

The first person replies: “of course.”

The caption to the comic reads “even when they’re trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person’s familiarity with their field”

And didn’t he maim someone? Took the life that person could have had.

I think you need to be intentionally naive, or just an absolute shitbag, to want to vote for lower gas prices at the cost of increased human suffering. Let alone whether it’s something Trump could even deliver.

Speaking of being an old man, let me tell you:

“The future is now old man” != “The future is now, old man.”

I genuinely tripped over this sentence thanks to the lack of punctuation.

What’s the ableism in the comment? Sincere question because I thought I knew what it was but can’t spot any here so I must be ignorant.

Yeah my comment wasn’t intended to be critical of the person I was replying to - it was infact highlighting their point.

American cops don’t tend to use tasers when the suspect is wielding a knife because it’s seen as a lethal weapon, to which they have a lethal response for. Or as another responder replied - the training is the issue, US cops are hardly short of equipment.

Honestly this is what infuriates me when 2nd amendment enthusiasts say “UK cops should carry guns” - fuck off mate, we de-escalate and use non-lethal way more effectively than your wanker cops who only have a hammer and everything is a nail.

Give your cops a toolkit instead of just a hammer and you’ll see the difference.

Chill Winston, no need to get so aggressive just because you were wrong about the browser not being a document viewer. Because that’s exactly what it is. That’s all. No attack on you, your preferences or ideology. Just facts.

I’m clearly not as well versed on the minutia of PDFs as you are, but I am an expert on browsers and their capabilities as a document viewer.

Your preferences are your own, and I am not here to refute them or change your mind. You keep trucking however you like.

All in saying is that Firefox is a web browser and not a document viewer

So what do you suppose an HTML document is?

Hint: the clue is in the name.

2nd hint: the first line of any well formed HTML file.

They’re essential, but they’re also numerous. The barrier to entry for a lot of these jobs is “went to school for some time” - which means pretty much everyone is qualified.

Supply and demand.

Notice how when service staff were allowed back to work, a lot of them didn’t, and that drove up zone wages.

And to be clear - I am not advocating for below living wages, nor saying that people doing these jobs are unskilled. You can tell the good from the bad, and I think everyone should be paid at least a living wage.

What are you using?

You know Dropbox? Google drive? OneDrive? That’s file synchronisation. Files across multiple devices kept in sync by the software provider. Except in the named cases above, all your data is uploaded to their servers. With syncthing there’s no cloud server, just your devices operating over the internet. So you have some backup responsibility to cover.

Caveat: I’ve never used syncthing and I wrote the above with a total of 10 seconds of reading their website and so it is entirely possible I’m completely wrong about everything and so I emplore you to do your research.

No, because there are no stupid questions.

I meant ancient as in ancient Greeks, not whatever obscure meaning of the word you’re using.

In the first 45 seconds of that video it says we’ve been consuming milk for 10,000 years - and yet you say it’s not ancient?

I appreciate the response and see no reason to downvote you - and you are at a net positive so clearly more people are up voting.

Your bias is very clear, but then so is mine!

Maybe. But nothing in this story suggests that as “the dairy industry” did nothing more than disqualify a cheese made using non-GRAS ingredients.

What’s pathetic is Big Vegan telling lies to try and discredit an ancient and valuable industry.
