All the terrible things going on, and this is what you choose to criticize. 🙄

I have a friend who is also a foot anti-fetishist. I find being revolted by feet equally inexplicable to being aroused by them, but both are fine I guess.

Increases in productivity go to the owners, not the workers. Even imaginary increases in productivity.

Except war.

In a somewhat related prime number incident, we have the term “baker’s dozen”, meaning 13. This is because bakers were found to be reducing the size of loaves of bread, and the government required that they include 13 when they sold 12 to make up for the discrepancy. So shrinkflation has been going on basically forever…

Any prime number is divisible by itself though? So you can split a box of 3 amongst 3 people. Remember that 2 is also prime, and you can’t split a box of 2 or 4 between 3 people.

Anyway, I think the bigger issue is the 25% reduction from 4 in a box to 3 in a box, and we can be plenty annoyed and/or outraged at that. 😆

I don’t necessarily think that’s a problem. A revolution wouldn’t end up with a new Obama or Clinton. Ideally it would end up destroying capitalism and saving humanity.

So the idea is that people should not have fun while there are terrible things in the world? Especially the people trying to improve the situation somewhat? Am I getting that right?

If you tax income then the ultra wealthy can find some financial construction to ensure that they have zero income. Of course, this is also true for wealth (see: the Gates Foundation), so maybe there is no good solution. 😅

Mostly accurate, although the flight delays tend to be announced one short delay at a time. “We’re going to be a few minutes late pulling out from the gate.” “We missed out takeoff window, so we’re going to have a 20 minute delay.” “We need to refile our paperwork, so we’re heading back to the gate.” “Ground crew changed shift, so we need another 45 minutes.” And so on…

Damn Mamdani for giving me so much hope!

In the Netherlands we don’t have commercials on Netflix. Is that really a thing?

He was President for 4 years and then tried a coup after losing the election. He was elected in 2024 anyway.

Until there’s an easy way to have an algorithm other than date order, Mastodon will always be sort of “meh” for me.

DNS is never the Domain Name Service.

The very first sentence of RFC 1034, the document that is the basis of DNS, identifies it as the Domain Name System.

Also, buying or building something to cover the less is cheap, and possibly fun, mini-project. As long as you allow a bit of airflow…

What do you use for your Kubernetes build?

Also, do you have an S3 compatible storage? If not, what do you use for persistence?

One reply to this is that God can do anything possible.

Now, ideas about what is possible vary. For example Descartes could not conceive of a triangle where the angles did not add up to 180°. However, even in Descartes’ time it was known that a triangle on a sphere will have angles that add up to more than 180° (you can make a triangle with 3 right angles on a globe and those angles add up to 270°).

So the idea might be refined to be more that nonsensical things remain nonsensical. As in, you can ask the question, “Can God change the color of a flower to Tuesday?” But even though it is perfectly correct English, it doesn’t make sense, and your question is bogus, not God.

If it unlocks with a simple pattern, if you use a unlock code that someone can guess, and so on.

Or did you mean remotely?
