AffineConnection,

So many of the results I see are incredibly obvious fakes.

“Single pixel” is an interesting way of putting it.

That comment made me imagine a bunch of people sitting in a movie theater, watching a film that consists of nothing but a giant square that keeps changing colors and brightness, with the soundtrack from another film. The film is called “Blindness Simulator.”

AffineConnection,

That doesn’t mean he should be a jerk about it.

YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" (en.wikipedia.org)

“Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study “fail[ed] to...

AffineConnection,

how is that even allowed

lobbyists, I presume

AffineConnection,

It’s blueshifted to looking green because you’re excessively speeding.

AffineConnection,

The last paragraph is completely irrelevant, as it has nothing to do with the ozone layer. You do not want ozone in the troposphere, but you do want it in the stratosphere.

It’s not shelf stable. It has a short lifespan.

Ultra-pasteurized milk has a remarkable shelf life, even when unrefrigerated.

And how is it better for us? Considering a majority of the world can’t digest it is a big sign as to why plant based is better.

Your argument becomes a non-sequitur when extended to people who are lactose tolerant. The mere existence or ubiquity of lactose intolerance does not entail that milk is bad for the lactose tolerant. Perhaps plant substitutes to cow milk are better for even the lactose tolerant, but lactose intolerance is completely irrelevant to the minority of us such as myself who produce sufficient enzymes to digest lactose without any difficulty whatsoever.

.C came first. I don’t usually use it though; I usually use .cc or .cxx, but if I’m making some tiny test source, I often use .C. I’m strongly opposed to the .cpp extension because calling C++ “CPP” leads to confusion with the preexisting (before C++) use of the initialism to refer to the C preprocessor. There’s a reason why CPPFLAGS refers to preprocessor flags and CXXFLAGS refers to C++ flags.

AffineConnection,

AffineConnection,

Incidentally, Biden is the only silent generation US president.

AffineConnection,

but I would in a heart beat if I could

with your 3-D printed heart

AffineConnection,

Journalism was always like this when it comes to reporting on research.

AffineConnection,

Americans know about °C, but what the hell is C°?

AffineConnection,

I have obsessive guilt about silly things, but even I cannot comprehend why people would feel guilty about simply not buying something at a store.

AffineConnection,

The X window system is actually the successor to the W window system.

AffineConnection,

AffineConnection,

He’s stealing the X logo, not the X.Org logo. The X.Org logo consists of the X logo with a superimposed “O”.

X came way before X.Org. X.Org is just a 21^st^ century implementation of X.

What's your opinion on Opera browser?

I've been using Opera for a few years now and I've been enjoying its features, UI and everything. However, I (surprisingly to me) haven't noticed many people mentioning it. Also, when I was on Reddit and mentioned that I use it I got downvoted which left me somewhat confused haha....

AffineConnection,

Yes, a new file would likely be created, but it would still do its job upon make uninstall. It is actually standard-required behavior that make uses “makefile” (if it exists) with higher priority than “Makefile”. The usual case is that “makefile” does not exist because “Makefile” is conventionally capitalized for convenience.

AffineConnection,

How much is ext4 filesystem-level encryption actually used though?

AffineConnection,

Simply open about:config, search for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled, and change it from true to false.

Indeed, the upsides to this outweigh the downsides. I can’t even remember the last time I needed to re-enable it.
