Had an old workplace where everyone knew that the servers needed blood to function. You would reach into the cabinet, make your fix with absolutely no trouble and take your hands out to find a huge gash in your hand that you should have felt when you received it. No pain, just bleeding.

At a location, their servers wouldn’t work unless there was candy on top of the server rack and at least one stuffed animal in the room. I was jealous of their technomancy.

If I remember correctly, they taste fine it’s just that they’re like 90% bone and it’s all that flimsy garbage that turns into spikes in the predators mouth

Tbh I’m just new to the computer science scene - I’ve taken one class so far on the fundamentals of programming and have only seen a real language in my free time as of yet.

It didn’t occur to me that the webpage which references another for an image would still be culpable for the space taken up by the image, because with on-disk memory management you can do tricks to reduce sizes with pointers and I just thought it would be analogous. It feels painfully obvious to me why that’s stupid now lol

Once the users browser has the path to that image…

I dunno why that didn’t occur to me, that makes sense

Do you actually have to provide the image? Couldn’t you provide a pointer to the image? Like those thumbnails that are just links on the backends but appear as images when loaded

Yep

Night shift worker here. May as well be a cave person. I didn’t work when DST happened, therefore it happened seamlessly to me and I am entirely unaware of it. I actually only know it happened because people were talking about it.

It’s the sensors accuracy that is of concern at the 10 year mark, not the battery life

You could do them by hand with substitution

I was expected to memorize the integrals for trig functions. I did not. I just did substitution every time until I eventually memorized the table right around the time I finished calculus lmao

The premise here is that imperialism stopped

I don’t think my suspension of disbelief is that strong

I think twitch drives this a lot. Streamers getting annoyed with the game they’re playing tend to do better on their vods and bring in more people. As a result, people become more and more tolerant to games that are just annoying.

Like I understand that some people enjoy the gameplay of soulslikes, but who enjoys run backs?

I’m an associater too. Didn’t stop me from being top of every class I’ve ever been in. Take the time to study how to learn, specifically how you learn

The show isn’t for nerds. It’s for people who believe they are a nerd because they like sci-fi

But doesn’t surviving an explosion imply that they did in fact get exploded? Just cause it ain’t kill em doesn’t mean they didn’t go through it

Well they still got blown up didn’t they?

Isn’t there an episode where Maggie is grown up? Or am I thinking of Lisa?

I choose to believe it’s the adult version

The chopping technique is about eliminating risk, mostly. Sure for a single meal and being aware you’ll be fine. But getting into the habit of a good technique means you’ll be fine even when you’re tired or distracted

The other issue with periodic password changes, particularly in the workplace but also relevant in normal life, is that it causes people to write down their password. The issues with that should be glaring enough
