By the way, if you're drinking more than 8 cups of coffee a day there's a good chance that you're self-medicating for ADHD and you should get checked out.

Trig requires some assumptions and special tools, like SOHCAHTOA and what not that don't really exist in standard algebra.

I love how intuitive it is. I knew immediately that it meant "have you ever" or "do you ever"

I love sci-fi and I tired SG: Atlantis but the main character sucks so hard that it quickly became unwatchable. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.

I think the absolute best way I've heard it described is simply: Extroverts get charged up around people, while introverts lose energy around people and need some time by themselves to recharge their batteries before socializing again.

lol thanks MrPoopyButthole!

Exactly, as labels are meant to be. Use them if they suit you, don't bother if it's not for you.

It seems like this vehicle comes with (as far as I know) the first solid state battery in a commercial vehicle which is HUGE news if true! I'm slightly skeptical because of this claim coming from the Chinese government, but who knows, it would be a huge boon for all of humanity if they've figured out solid state batteries.

The huge benefits we'll all see are increased capacity so batteries last longer, and INSANELY fast charge times. You could recharge your car to 100% in the same time as it takes to fill it up with gas currently.

Or just switch to Linux. It works flawlessly with everything except games that with anti-cheat that refuse to support it.

ShaunaTheDead, 17 days ago

Seems like you've run some bad distros. Every problem you've described I've seen solutions for, and GUI solutions too, not just command line. Linux certainly was as you've described, but there are loads of user friendly distros that never require you to open a terminal window, ever, for anything.

The thing about time is that any likely division of an hour that you'd like, there's an easy and even division. /2 = 30, /3 = 20, /4 = 15, /5 = 12, /6 =10, /10 = 6 and vice versa.

It's pretty easy to get in the mind state of thinking a half hour is 30 minutes, or more specifically you can think 1.5 hours * 60 minutes / hour. The hours cancel out and you get 90 minutes.

I feel attacked. I saw some birds cross the street while driving to visit my Dad and I spent like 8 hours looking up birds to try to figure out what they were and I've been into it ever since.

I dunno how it is in the rest of Canada, but here in Ontario, the Conservatives are constantly undermining the public healthcare system because they very clearly want to privatize it. It's really annoying how they're trying to slyly erode faith in the public system and letting people fall through the cracks for no reason other than greed. It's blatant to anyone paying attention, but sadly, most people aren't.

Are you using the dedicated GPU as your primary GPU or the integrated GPU? I've found using the dGPU as the primary can sometimes lead to suspend/resume issues.

My partner and I are both of those. She's the anxious one and I'm the "fuck it" one. It works out alright, she can get more done, and I can calm her down when it's not actually as important as she thinks it is.

Choosing to love Jesus makes that man happy, and that's great as long as he doesn't try to ruin other people's fun. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? Just live your own life and leave other people alone.

If you have an unusual setup, it can be annoying trying to give programs permissions and sometimes it just outright doesn't work. For example, I mainly game on a laptop which has a pretty small hard drive, so I tend to put most of my games on an external hard drive. Flatpak really doesn't play well with that.

It's like the old saying, "If you think everyone around you is an asshole, just remember that you're the common denominator in every situation". So if your teammates are trash, it's time to look inward at whether you're actually the problem, or if you're not, what you can do to help your teammates succeed.

Although, the dog could tell the difference between the swords. Dogs are blind to red which means pure red things are like an absence of any colour, so red would appear black. Dogs can see blue and yellow which combine to form green which to them would be all of the colours, and so it would appear white. I'm sure an anthropomorphic dog would understand that when humans say "green" they mean "white" and when humans say "red" they mean "black".

ShaunaTheDead, 3 months ago

Sure, it wouldn't be black. If it was a pure red (absolutely no other colours, just pure 100% red) then it wouldn't have a colour to a dog. It would have a shade, and it certainly wouldn't be absolutely pitch black but close enough. If, however, it's not a pure red then it would appear yellow or blue as in the picture you posted.

ShaunaTheDead, 3 months ago

No, because the dog would know that if someone says "red" they probably mean "black" or some shade of black, and "green" would mean "white" or some shade of white.

My steps in engaging in polite conversation on the internet are:

Explain my point as clearly and concisely as possible.

Try to be respectful of differing opinions and keep an open mind.

Realize that mistakes happen, apologize for my mistakes and admit when I'm wrong. Also, be forgiving of the mistakes of others, point out any mistakes but do so as gently as possible.

Ignore people that are either intentionally misunderstanding you or aren't making an effort to understand you.

I think the first two points are obvious and most people follow them, it's the last two that a lot of people struggle with, even myself at times, but I'm working on it. I think the worst thing you can do on the internet is trash someone's entire idea just because they made one tiny mistake. And putting in effort with trolls will quickly exhaust you, so you need to learn to identify and ignore them.

Let people enjoy things. You don't have to engage with it if you don't want to.

ShaunaTheDead, 3 months ago

The act of disliking something vocally is an act in trying to ruin that thing for the people that enjoy it. Disliking things is not a hobby, they are not the same thing. Not to mention the attitude of disliking is extremely negative. If that's your take on life, then you suck.
