No. If it’s everyone, then it’s everyone and at worst it’s not the most efficient way to communicate.

I would say, if you single out a group of people based on physical characteristics, then it gets weird.

But if it’s “The internet won’t start” vs “Every packet on port 433 is dropped even though no firewall rule is set”, then I think it’s reasonable to make some asumptions and adjust communication accordingly.

I work in IT and sometimes I have to explain something to a user who is somewhat tech-illiterate. Even developers may have significant blind spots when it comes to their OS or networking, for example.

So, if I notice it, I’ll change some terminology and I may explain instructions differently or use metaphors so every user understands what I’m saying.

And most coworkers do the same thing.

Here’s why I bring this up: For whatever reason, some colleagues give female coworkers the same treatment.

And that’s weird.

If someone is constantly treated like this, they should be allowed to rant about it on their blog. I’m fine with snark if it geht’s a point across.

That’d be my interpretation aswell.

This is a spin on a existing meme called “Thour”, where various animals or objects are licking a lemon.

Who’s “they”?

If it’s Urologists, like, those are the experts. If it’s someone on Twitter, they don’t matter. If it’s women as a whole… oh, boy. Dude. If it’s “the jews”, OH. BOY. DUDE. HOW EVEN?

Me: Can I have (small template parser)?

Stackoverflow: No, we have (small template parser) at home.

Can you spot why years, months, days, hours and minutes are not SI units?

This is an honest question. The SI units were chosen very carefully with regard to their human usability and scientific universality.

I fairly often drive 50,000m/h, except on the autobahn. There I usually go about 120,000,000mm/h.

And if I stack 1000 1cm³ blocks of water, the resulting 10m high column has a volume of 1l, weighs 1kg and exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal, while 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

What I want to say is: Your point is stupid and your units are too.

How can it be that people don’t realize how badly faked this is and what position it is trying to sneak through?

I wish my existence could just be me existing.

Instead, I have to advocate for my existence in front of people who look down on me and have to rely on the understanding and kindness of strangers and the zeitgeist to make me be safe.

I’m barely allowed to marry who I love, and many people still reject “marriage” as a concept for people like me. I was once chased by someone with a knife for holding a loved one’s hand.

People fought tooth and nail for us to be recognized. Many are still forced to do so. Sure, take the fucking rainbow. Take it for granted, just like you do with everything else.

I always eaten them as is. Am I missing something?

I never even considered a condiment for grapefruit.

I don’t get why you get so much downvotes, because it’s not as obvious as people make it out to be and there are plenty of adapters. So it’s a good question.

But yes. The 3.5mm jack had the thing companies say they are striving for: simplicity.

DACs are nice and everything but the phone can just decide to not connect properly. The DAC can decide it had enough of your phone. In either case you’d need to reconnect them. And that means unlocking your phone, because a secure phone will block streaming to ‘unknown’ USB-C devices, unless it’s unlocked during the negotiation phase. And if your connectors have become wonky for whatever reason: Well, no music for you.

And then there’s the issue where you have to have them at hand when you need them. In your car, on your person, while at work.

3.5mm is great because it actually “just works”. One of the few things that can claim such thing.

This may be off topic, but it’s sadly not a common occurence to see someone correct something “a bit misleading”, while acknowledging that the point is still valid.

You are cool. Keep being you.

Oh man.

Und ich hab mich neulich schon drüber aufgeregt, dass irgendwelche FridaysForHubraums gerne mal den Notausschalter an Ladesäulen betätigen.

…oder dass die Stadt bei Bauarbeiten gerne vergisst, dass es auch sowas wie Fußgänger und Radfahrer gibt, welche man nicht einfach mal ohne Ampel über eine 4-spurige Straße schicken sollte. …oder dass Radwege nicht durch mehrere Spuren gefädelt werden sollten. …oder das Parkplätze direkt an Fußgängerüberwegen richtig kacke sind, weil die Sicht auf annähernde Autos/Fußgänger bereits durch einen Transporter komplett verdeckt wird. …oder dass es keine gute Idee ist wenn Radfahrer vom Ampelsensor nicht beachtet werden, weswegen die nur grün bekommen, wenn sie etwas auf die Kreuzung fahren, sodass das Auto hinter ihnen den Sensor auslösen kann.

Jedenfalls, fahrt vorsichtig. Auf Rücksicht oder selbst Toleranz anderer darf man scheinbar nicht hoffen.

If my 3D printer has a problem, it’s not working properly.

When my 2D printer throws a fit, it’s because it’s doing its job of being a vicious piece of shit perfectly.

Important difference.

No plans. But lots of plants. I want to see them growing to double my height and more.
