I actually am 70 and remember the “oil crisis”. It would be great if there were a major shift in people’s thinking, but the vast majority of people don’t seem to do squat until they really have to. I think that force has driven a lot of history.

Are those traits neurodivergent or do they just fall into the “people are different” category?

Imagine finding that people your own age ignored it too, like they’re doing right now.

We should just rename our planet Dunning-Kruger World.

Eliminate car repair bills with a bunch of tools and this weird trick!

Actors usually don’t really eat in TV shows, they just pretend, or they hold food on a fork and gesture with it. The reason is to maintain continuity. Eating changes how the food looks. So when multiple takes are edited together you might see somebody bite off the corner of a piece of toast and then 3 seconds later it’s a whole piece again. Some people make a minor hobby of spotting continuity errors like that.

Yes thanks, my bad. Moved the comment to the right thread.

The point isn’t to take sides with the sheep, it’s about self-awareness. Recognizing that hating ignorant people is just a different form of ignorance. We’re all burdened by or own ignorance even if we don’t know it.

I agree that wokeness is more enlightened than ignorance, but I also wonder how woke it is to scorn the less enlightened so hard.

Rooting the phone means playful nerds could potentially mess up radio frequencies, but they can already do that because they can build radios using readily available electronic components. We already have all kinds of regulations about radio use, and we go after people who actually cause problems.

“If we let you control your phones you’ll just mess them up!”

Uhhh, sir this is a Wendy’s.

Also would you like to supersize it for only a dollar more?

ASCII pr0n anyone? [nsfw]

TIL “gaff” is UK slang for your house or home.

I think the main difference is that people were “apoplectic” when food prices had doubled or tripled in a year or two, and now they’re only going up like 10%. But also because people get used to anything, and apparently one of the things they’re used to right now is food being ridiculously expensive. Thirdly, most people get sick of a subject after a while so they engage less on it. Don’t want another article, don’t want another comment, they just turn it off and look at memes.

That’s why they call it a semicolon; you’re never more than half sure you’re using it right.

Exercise 3.1: Compute the lagrange points for boys near two rotating milkshakes. For extra credit show that it’s better than yours.

Fundamentally flawed of course - clearly you can crack a cold one in the yard all by yourself. The presence of the boys is not required, and in fact is a downside since they will consume your remaining cold ones and then go look for milkshakes without so much as a thank you ma’am.
