Wow real shocker there /s
Being excited about being wrong because either way it’s information
This literally is the basis of science that I think a lot of people misunderstand. Science doesn’t prove anything conclusively. What scientists try to do is disprove the leading theory and when they can’t, it adds to the pile of evidence that increases the likelyhood of the leading theory being correct. Even things that we’re very, very, very sure are correct are still like 99.99999999999…% confirmed.
A good example that’s often used to show how it’s more important to try to disprove a theory rather than trying to prove it is the existence of black swans. It was long thought that all swans were white and every time someone saw a white swan, that idea was reinforced. But when someone actually went out of their way to go looking for a black swan, they found a bunch of them!
One place I worked at recently was still using Node version 8. Running npm install
would give me a mini heart attack… Like 400+ critical vulnerabilities, it was several thousand vulnerabilities all around.
The easiest way to tell the difference is that monkeys have tails and apes don’t. Chimps are definitely apes and I’m not sure what OP is getting at.
Wow that’s interesting! Gotta be at least in the running for the rarest Linux distro ever
I ran Ubuntu for a couple of years, and then I switched to PopOS because I didn’t like the direction that Ubuntu was going.
imo Pop takes everything that made Ubuntu great and makes it better. It’s not bleeding edge though, but it is stable if that’s what you’re looking for.
I recently made the switch over to an Arch based distro for the first time ever (Garuda Linux is the distro) and I’ve absolutely loved that change too. I feel like Garuda at least, I can’t speak for all Arch based distros, but Garuda is very user friendly, sleek with KDE apps including Plasma, and very powerful. I like to game on my laptop and have definitely noticed some framerate increases after switching to Garuda.
Ubuntu should have keyboard shortcuts in the settings panel. You can go through and change them manually to match what you expect from MacOS.
Every other planet looks like shit. Another W for Earth, the best planet in the universe! (as far as we know)
That North and South Korea maintain a fax line between their countries… which they use almost exclusively to send threats and insults to each other.
Also related to North Korea, the hilarious fact that Dennis Rodman, former NBA player, is so well liked by the Kim family that he’s basically a diplomat to North Korea, or at least the one they turn to when things really start going badly.

Reminds me of an early application of AI where scientists were training an AI to tell the difference between a wolf and a dog. It got really good at it in the training data, but it wasn’t working correctly in actual application. So they got the AI to give them a heatmap of which pixels it was using more than any other to determine if a canine is a dog or a wolf and they discovered that the AI wasn’t even looking at the animal, it was looking at the surrounding environment. If there was snow on the ground, it said “wolf”, otherwise it said “dog”.
Vf = Vi + at
Means final velocity equals initial velocity plus the product of acceleration and time of acceleration.
F = m(ΔV / ΔT) or F = ma
The second equation is much simpler and means force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.
This can basically be broken down to be “it’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the sudden deceleration” which is usually attributed to Eddie Rickenbacker who was an American WWI pilot.
“It’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the sudden stop” - Eddie Rickenbacker
It was also famously paraphrased by Jeremy Clarkson:
“Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that’s what gets you.” - Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear
Reminds me, I drive a school bus part-time and my bus has a malfunctioning sensor in the transmission and so on the screen on the dashboard it says “CHECK TRANS”. So every morning I’m like looks down at crotch “yup, still trans!”
lol holy shit that was really funny!
Star Trek really has 2 different genres, there’s action/adventure and there’s real hard sci-fi where philosophy is at the forefront. Voyager generally appeals more to the action/adventure fans, whereas the previous iterations appeared like the entire series was heading in a more philosophical direction with TOS to TNG to DS9 increasing in their thoughtfulness. VOY was seen as a huge backslide to people who were tuning in largely for the philosophical aspect of the show.
Considering there was and still are very few popular philosophical and thought provoking shows that challenge the viewer’s world view and biases, I think it’s fair to be upset that the new direction of the show is to dumb down everything and focus more on the action.
Of course, that’s not to say that Voyager was completely devoid of any philosophical debate, but I don’t think anyone can make the case that it’s equally as intelligent as TNG and DS9.
I think sarcasm usually has more of a negative tone to it. Like “oh yeah, sure, uh huh /s” whereas light hearted is more like “omg stop picking on me! /lh” conveying that they understand that the other people are also interacting with them in jest.
Apparently it means “light hearted” to indicate that she’s in on the joke and isn’t being entirely serious
“Matt” paste? Isn’t it “matte” or am I taking crazy pills again?
Edit: What the fuck… It’s spelled differently in the UK, the US, and Canada (where I’m from). It’s matte in Canada, mat in US, and matt in the UK.
