I used to be that guy. Then I realized asking eachother questions is just part of the human experience. I know we can both google it, but maybe you just wanted to talk to me instead of a computer. Maybe ill ask you something I already know or could easily google so you can feel smart and helpful answering my question. Life is nicer when you have positive interactions with people instead of searching for every minute way you could belittle them

They call me heat miser Whatever I touch Starts to melt in my clutch!

You count up in incremental numbers until you reach 5280 and then finally increment from 0 to 1 miles. That’s base 5280. Just because we didnt invent more symbols to easily represent that does not mean its not a different numeric base.

Did you read the words I wrote? It looks like youre responding to a “imperial units are better than metric” strawman which you may notice I didnt say or even allude to

This comment brought to you by a complete and fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to use a different base numeral

Imagine being so close minded and bad at math that you can only think in base 10 and feel the constant need to degrade people who are good at math in different bases

The only real way to escape corporate enshittification and bots is to just pick up and move whenever marketing ghouls start to show up. Im quite happy with lemmy and the fediverse right now, but Im under no illusion this place will last more than like 3 years tops before its time to move on to the next platform with a user base small enough that its not worth astroturfing with ads and corpo propaganda

TLDR: modeling traffic as a gas leads to fairly accurate predictions. If that doesnt mean anything to you, here’s a decent visualization of how gasses move around in a system. In this analogy, each of the gas particles models a car on the road. https://youtu.be/Hr5Baj3lXFA

both sides of the original meme are wrong, cmv

If this thing is emitting light that appears blue to you, you’re about to have a monumentally bad time

I used to sleep naked but now I wear pajama(s?) inspired by early RHCP to stay decent for this kind of situation

I just block that community. Not like out of malice or anything but it prevents me from commenting on a post without looking at the comm name. I try to make a habit of not spending time in places where I am not welcome

Whenever the cats that have been in my life are doing dangerous stuff like that I hiss at them and chase them off. It’s very effective at getting them to stop trying to kill themselves and it doesn’t seem to upset them longterm

Badass

This is bad practice. You should always have an exit condition when using a wait statement or you might get stuck in an infinite loop

My first speeding ticket happened during college. I had to take a few weeks driving course, cut luxuries out of my life for a month, and pick up extra shifts at my job for a month to handle it. It was an overall miserable experience.

My next speeding ticket happened while I was an engineer. I literally paid it off on my phone while the officer was doing paperwork on the side of the road AND gave them an extra $100 because I could do that instead of any kind of driving course. I stopped caring about it at all 10 minutes later. It was fucking wild to see “laws are only for the poors” in action like that

Ever seen a Japanese sports car go from 0 to 6 in 15 seconds? Honk at me when I’m on the line and the light just turned green and I’ll show you
