  • Standing in the street outside your crushes house, flag in each hand, trying desperately to remember the proper way to signal "will you go out with me" in semaphore.

  • The original mini had a wheelbase of just over 3m

    The wheelbase was just over 2m, but the total length was just over 3m.

  • I'm not going to pretend I know better than the people who are buying them if they offer any real utility, but it's not like they're new. The Hilux has been around donkey's years. It's only the last couple of years they've started to catch on big-time. I don't understand what's changed that's pushed a lot of lads away from the likes of a Transit into a Ford Ranger.

    Although I'm sure there were plenty of people driving Land Cruisers before who are in Rangers now, and are carrying precisely the same amount of absolutely fuck all in them.

  • The only people that read xkcd are those that can understand it

    If that was true, there’d be no need for ExplainXKCD.com.

    And even then on some of the more physics-y ones I just give Randall the benefit of the doubt that it’s funny.

  • I’m more surprised they didn’t try to corner the thieving and grifting market for their own.

  • It’s still 12.5%. I don’t think it was ever as low as 7 or 8. I don’t think it’s gone up to 15% yet either, but it was being talked about for sure.

  • Funnily enough, Shawn is the anglicisation of the Irish name Seán, so spelled for the reasons outlined in the OP.

  • What about all the bowling cattle you had to castrate for those balls?

  • The entire thing is the author wanking himself silly over his knowledge of pop culture references from his childhood. Some of it reads like it was written by a 14 year old who isn’t all that into books.

    The bit about the gaming suit that wanks the user off but also means you’re exercising so you get fit from wearing it was honestly one of the cringiest things I’ve ever read. If I thought the author was capable of the level of self reflection required, I’d have thought writing that part of the book was him acknowledging that the book is literally a work of literary masturbation.

    It should have received the same response as The Room; a bad book only made into a cult classic by the people laughing at it.

  • Does that mean there could be species which humans want to fuck, but which would not consider humans intelligent enough to give proper consent?

  • Ya, it’d still be huge for Firefox, but what I’m really getting at is that even with this change, Chrome is going nowhere. They’re the big fish, they can afford to make these kinds of changes, because the people who care are a very small minority.

  • If coos don't want to their they shouldn't get paid.

    I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.

    Or are getting somewhere else

    No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?

  • Either;

    A. You don’t take on any new tasks before the meeting. You’re already too distracted by the meeting to start anything new. So now you’re sitting there killing time for an hour until the meeting starts. You were doodling in a notepad, missed the start of the meeting, and joined 5 minutes late.

    B. You were working on something and didn’t realise it was meeting time. Someone messages you 5 minutes after the meeting started, reminding you to join. You’ve completely forgotten what the meeting is about and it takes you a further 5 minutes to get your bearings.

  • A computer: does anything.

    Tech journalists: is this AI?

  • The VLC guy turned down what a quick search is telling me was “several tens of millions” to show ads. I can’t even imagine what getting people to drop ublock would be worth.
