Wow, you’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas!

I’ll happily supply the hacksaw to keep you occupied.

Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don’t miss.

edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn’t clear.

How else would you know it was doing anything?

You’re correct in a lot of languages; Excel comes to mind. Just that’s not how int rand() works in C.

Sorry, I don’t why you’re getting snark and even being accused of using the word “integer”.

But which consumes more energy? Like really. I’m betting AI does, but some tasks might be close.

“Daddy, why do people have to eat?”

[long pull from cig] “Plants… They came here. Now we are enslaved to eat them. It is their way.”

It’s what percentage of countries have one that would matter.

Some stores sell a little shelf for your shower crunchwraps. They have a little suction cup on them. It’s a really clever design.

Crunchwrap supreme. Next question.

So I’ve live a few places around the US (all east of the Missisip. So it’s not like a good survey), but the place that is worst for this has been southern Louisiana (north shore). Everywhere kinda sucks, but it’s anarchy there.

Why are you the judge of what conditions make it acceptable?

It was just a dude answering questions he was asked. I don’t want to hang out with the guy.

I get a little worried about calling something like that “sexual assault”. It plays into the “can’t say anything anymore” crowd’s hands.

That wasn’t sexual assault. If you want a lesson to take away for what he actually did wrong here: he attacked the reason for rejection. It’s a natural thing to do. But that’s really the only thing wrong here.

Going in for a peck is fine. Planting one before they react wouldn’t be. But taking rejection gracefully is nearly impossible. Let’s try to be better.

y? omg

Is that a gender? It’s almost a state.

Thought I’d ping you. I checked out freecad and posted some initial thoughts here. https://lemmy.world/post/11352164

And they write it all down and charge a reasonable price.

Ok, I’m joking, but only kinda. Those things are pretty neat to thumb through. I don’t know if the money goes to some wack-job. It’s almost certain due to the invisible hand.

I got a good deal on a laptop and removed the hard drive with the preinstalled windows almost immediately. I say “almost” because I did actually set up a work space and installed software on in. It was a just-in-case system.

My laptop has been running linux-only for a while. But my wife needs my lappy for a thing. And it’s a windows-only thing. So I remove my hard drive. Put in the pre-installed one I had sitting on a shelf. And it didn’t boot. I got a windows error screen saying I had better start rounding up boot recovery material. So fuck.

Put my linux hard drive back in. BIOS can’t find a bootable drive. Fuck.

I was able to fix the problem. I kinda hate to admit that it was kinda fun to fix. (If you haven’t chrooted, you haven’t lived.) But I’m just pissed off at that whole #!

An electrical ground is reservoir into which you can dump charge with altering its potential difference. A car, in and of itself, is ground for the small shocks that occur from static. The earth is a bit overkill here.

Edit: I am about to use the word “safe” on the internet. Normal “don’t trust everyone on the internet” warnings apply.

You are correct that connecting yourself to ground of the car is the same as connecting to the negative terminal. You should be safe doing so in a properly wired car.

That is to say, unless you expect to be at different potential differences. When might that happen? In a lightning strike for example. You do NOT want to electrically connected to your car’s ground in a lightning strike. (You should be perfectly safe inside the car, not touching the car’s ground.) Your car is not a reservoir for that kind of charge.

The earth can handle a lightning strike without a (measurable) change in potential difference. This is why fish are not cooked in lightning storms.
