dufkm,

Makes sense. Wanting to sleep is basically choosing unconsciousness over consciousness. Even when tired I’d rather be conscious.

dufkm,

They are not Kings and Queens

I understand the sentiment, but I hate this phrase. If any of the e.g. Scandinavian royals would exhibit this kind of behaviour and lawlessness, the monarchy would be dismantled in a heartbeat. It’s mostly for show, and the monarchy only exists for as long as the people want it to.

dufkm,

Louis XVI was prosecuted and found guilty of high treason and crimes against the state by the National Convention during the French revolution, so it does happen from time to time.

dufkm,

a human produces 1.35 deaths per 100M miles driven

My car has been driven around 100k miles by a human, i.e. it has produced 0.00135 deaths. Is that like a third of a pinky toe?

dufkm,

The majority of users are either a communist or almost a communist.

I was 97% communist at the last measurement. I think I will get the final 3% any day now, God willing.

dufkm,

Most.

(Also a made up statistic)

dufkm,

Doesn’t matter, everyone should brush, at least 2 times a day. And don’t forget to floss!

dufkm,

That doesn’t help much if your country has shut down FM broadcasting though.

dufkm,

Shutting down FM broadcasting doesn’t mean shutting down radio; if you read the link, you’ll see that DAB is taking it’s place in those places.

dufkm,

Or ensuring the spool is still useful 15 years later while everything has migrated to SFP/QSFP

Nah, the remaining spool will be useful for the rest of its/your lifetime, it always comes in handy as a generic 4-pair twisted pair signal cable for any non-ethernet purpose. I’ve used my old spool twice this year; first for an m-bus cable to my power meter and then for a limit switch for my garage door.

dufkm,

Same with buying shoes; how do you expect me to go to the shoe store without having shoes to walk in?

And for glasses; how can I find my glasses without glasses?

dufkm,

you were trying to be sarcastic, but instead you have…

Lol no, I know better than trying to be sarcastic online, I was making the same point as you (although less eloquently). Wholeheartedly agree with what you said!

dufkm,

From my experience in Norway, these are typical in context of daily speech: (…) km, m, dm (kinda rare), cm, mm

Don’t forget the Scandinavian mile! You and the Swedes use it all the time.

dufkm,

Barely an inconvenience.

dufkm,

E.g. I have a plethora of grapes. We should stop using the term plethora because they could just say “a lot.”

That reminds me of the old joke:

A widow was holding a funeral for her husband, when a man asked if he could say a word. “Of course” said the widow, so he stood up and exclaimed “plethora!”. The widow replied “thanks, that means a lot”.

dufkm,

You can swear on the internet fyi

Maybe she didn’t want to though

dufkm,

bc I’m pretty

How pretty? Like a Scranton 7?

dufkm,

I’ve been happy with all my FatMax line of tools so far, especially the tape measure. Thanks for the tip on the utility knife, will look for it!

dufkm,

I am all for more public transportation in this country

In which country? Sorry, couldn’t tell from the context.

dufkm,

Same, I won’t be able to use Proton Drive until a Linux CLI is in place. Currently paying for Jottacloud for now along with my Proton subscription; their CLI tool is pretty good in Linux as far as I can tell.

dufkm,

Do you also get the webcam paranoia though? I’m covering up mine when I’m working in the nude.

dufkm,

Perma banned from r/Libertarian

Oh, the irony

dufkm,

Trying to de-bloat KDE feels like a game of chicken. Whichever K-application I try to uninstall, I get a prompt asking me to confirm if I want to uninstall a plethora of important-sounding kde packages. It gambles on me not knowing which "kde-[...]" packages are vital for KDE Plasma to run, so I don't take the chance on uninstalling the email client, multimedia programs etc.

dufkm,

Couldn't read the article due to paywall, but I noticed recently after converting to treadmill (for convenience) that I enjoy going longer and slower rather than short and fast. Ironically, the drab of running on a treadmill isn't as bad when I run slow enough that I can zone out and focus on the podcast/youtube/zwift-chat.

dufkm,

Yeah, but which of the two arrows though? The yellow one pointing to the right, or the white pointing to the left?
