Did they mean “I don’t need to believe in facts for them to be true” or “there is no such thing as facts/truth”?

If human scores were included, they would be at 100%, at the cost of approximately $250

Wait, why did it cost real humans $250 to pass the test?

Just two years ago I switched back from popos to Windows for HDR (no mainline support at the time), Logitech gaming mouse/keyboard support (basic m/k functionality worked but the programmable keys were spotty), motherboard temperature monitoring SW (motherboard too new to get reliable values), and occasional instability or weird rendering in gaming (Nvidia).

Linux works great for some scenarios. Development in Linux is great. But it depends on your use cases.

I think people interpreted my comment differently than I expected. Most people are Linux users because they like tinkering with their computer. That takes time. Getting all your devices/accessories/accounts working on Linux that used to work on other OSes takes time because they probably don’t have 1st party support. Otherwise you can use Android or Apple or whatever and just take what you get with less tinkering.

I’ve been using the same pro Windows license that I got for free in college and have never paid Microsoft a dime. I don’t know of any forced subscription fees. Paying for more cloud storage, etc. is a shitty practice but certainly not unique to MS.

That’s easy to solve. We just give them an allergy service dog that warns about potential allergens and chases them away if needed.

The difference with Linux is that instead of investing money into your ecosystem, you invest your time. What is worth more to you?

To be fair they tried posting it on the Linux community on .ml and there were so many upvotes and positive feedback that it crashed the server. So they had to post it again somewhere more balanced to limit the impact.

Some people think king salmon are a different species but really they were just crowned king of salmon because they can jump the farthest.

Sounds like it only works on mice. But maybe they can give mice the nasal spray and then put the mice in your nostrils so that the mice can protect your immune system while the vaccine protects theirs. Best of both worlds really.

Hmm it’s an interesting question. I would say no for two reasons. The US has enough military power to do what they want overtly (see 2026), and I doubt the US could keep something like that quiet for long enough to matter. Surely something like that would have been leaked if anyone knew about it.

I mean yeah that’s kinda the point of sleeper cells.

“So Steve, what do you do for a living?”

“Oh I’m an agent of a foreign country waiting for a signal to strike.”

“Nice, same.”

When you get the jitters from drinking too much coffee after 11AM, it means you were THIS close to turning into a gremlin.

Genius, it’s like a tax on walking. If you could get anywhere by walking in America, these would be all over the place.

I heard on a podcast that it is somewhat common (more than 0.001% anyway) in developing countries for people to test positive for rabies antibodies even though they hadn’t been treated for it. Implying that they had been exposed but somehow overcame it.

I thought it was radiolab but I can’t find it now…

Hold up so I could have as much asbestos as I wanted if it weren’t for my stupid immune system?

Incredible, the future is now

Neil “Smoke” deGrasse Tyson.

I don’t think this is the astronomer talking, unless he forgot to log out of his personal account.

If that’s true then most of the challenge was “wait until bad weather, pause, move gates up/down. wait until good weather, pause, move gates down/up” which is not much of a challenge. I think that’s fine since they also prevent stupid mistakes where you miss one gate but don’t notice until well after.

Most misleading headline ever, wow

Yeah I was just wondering, how does he even see the sun rise with the way his vision works? Maybe the sun just comes into his range of vision instead of rising above the horizon?
