  • Some might argue that modern English is a creole of old English and French

  • I'd rather we get eradicated but the rest of nature is fine.

  • I'll be honest I find it hard to understand for sports as well.

  • The supreme court, after such an amendment miraculously passes:

    "Well actually, this sentence doesn't mention the president of the United States in particular, so it means every president of every company ever. But a company president doesn't have pardoning powers, so this makes no sense. So this amendment is invalid!"

  • Hmm, I follow the package's readme and only get invalid command errors.

    Gotta install the pip dependencies.

    Oh but first you need to create a venv or everything will be global. Why isn't that local by default like with npm? Hell if I know!

    Ah but before that I need to install the RIGHT version of Python. The one I already have likely won't do. And that takes AGES.

    Oh but even then still just tells me the command is invalid. Ah, great, I live CLIs. Now I've gotta figure out PATH variables again and add python there. Also pip maybe?

    Now I can follow the readme's instructions! Assuming I remember to manually open the venv first.

    But it only gives me errors about missing pieces. Ugh. But I thought I installed the pip dependencies!

    Oh, but turns out there's something about a text file full of another different set of dependencies that I need to explicitly mention via CLI or they won't be installed. And the readme didn't mention that, because that's apparently "obvious". No it's not; I'm just a front-end developer trying to run the darn thing.

    Okay. Now it runs. Finally. But there's a weird error. There might be something wrong with my .env file. Maybe if I add a print statement to debug... Why isn't it showing up?

    Oooh, I need to fully rebuild if I want it to show up, and the hot reload functionality that you can pass a command line argument for doesn't work... Cool cool cool cool.

  • Python managed to turn me away before I wrote a single line of code.

    Running an already functional project took me nearly two hours and three separate tutorials.

  • Dang it. You're right.

  • I wish I had telemetry on such features.

    I really doubt a significant number of people use AI chatbots often enough that having it in a dedicated sidebar is worth it.

  • Sgt Eamon McArthur of the BC conservation officer service told CTV News he did not want to speculate on how the jacket ended up on the cervid, although he noted: “Deer are not predisposed to wearing clothes.”

    This quote is amazing. I laughed so hard. The real captain obvious for sure.

  • That's good. My first instinct would've been that what's in toothpaste is plenty.

  • Before even wondering about the health effects, we should ask ourselves whether it actually achieves the desired goal. I doubt that.

    If it doesn't, we don't even need to wonder about safety; we'll just stop burning money.

  • Expectations.

    People don't expect a country that's supposed to be a close ally to do actual pure evil.

    Russia has always been in a different category. It's oscillated between being an outright enemy and being a distant, somewhat-ally the West is suspicious of. Either way, Putin was never someone you trust.

    When someone betrays your expectations, you have a stronger emotional response.

    When you feel like your country is actually helping with evil acts, that's another layer of emotional response.

    But if someone you feel like you can't do anything about and has always been bad anyway is being evil, again... Well it's a bit of a "no shit, Sherlock" moment. Doesn't spark anger in quite the same way.

  • Weren't people a bit more positive about monarchy back when Elizabeth II was alive? I feel like she had a sort of mystique that made her feel more legit for some reason.

  • What does debloating entail exactly?

  • What the hell. I've never seen such an issue. Microsoft is so considerate; they provide us with cool little surprises like that from time to time. ♥️

  • I really don't think their version was minimizing anything. Just less specific.

  • My doctor did 10, 20, 30, 40, and I ended up going back to 30 to reduce the tachycardia. I weigh 74 kg.

    Maybe we're just really different people. Or maybe my doctor is just really really careful

    • there are lots of different drugs, and not all of them work on everyone. You may have to try several until you find one that works well and doesn't have too many undesirable effects on you.
    • usually they start you on a low dose and increase gradually, kind of similarly to how they do for antidepressants. So you won't really feel the full effect right away. Though starting with 30 mg of lisdexamfetamine is kinda intense. Unless you're a properly massive individual, I'm amazed the doctor just went there straight away. You could've had really unpleasant cardiac side effects. Glad it doesn't seem like you did.
    • it's not like cocaine. The effect is supposed to be relatively subtle if it's right for you.

  • Both are young. I think that's about it.
