I’m not defending the guy, but why call him fatphobic and racist, which isn’t relevant here, instead of, you know, saying he’s mean, an asshole, prick, etc…?

Truth be told, if you asked most people to recreate this meme but for them, they would also appear racist and fatphobic to you.

Imagine calling someone racist and fatphobic because of their romantic preferences.

Am I man-phobic because I’m not attracted to men?

I wouldn’t recommend. Due to the softness of human bodies, you won’t get the leverage you’d expect. I mean it might work on very thin people where the bones intersect, but for your average use case I’d recommend a simple pulley system.

Doesn’t observing at the quantum level require measurments? As in you can’t see without interacting with it, thus changing its behavior?

Well you have to admit, Project X sounds a lot cooler than Project C.

I can’t imagine this being possible (the full sized part anyway). The less customers you have, the less options you can offer, it’s simple economics.

Perhaps what doesn’t help my case is that most of the town works for that one company where everyone has one or two of their meals at their cafeteria. Still, of the neighboring towns, none has a grocery store bigger than a corner store. The only town that does have one has almost 5000 people….

The truth is, when we did have a grocery store, everyone went to the city once a week anyway because everything is there (or they work there). So while they’re at it, they also shopped at the bigger grocery stores, leading to a decline in customers at the local one.

Right but whether they’re correct or not doesn’t depend on the name you use. Every programmer worth his name knows arrays start at offset zero even if you don’t call it that.

Depends how you see it. I live in the countryside and would hate living in the city. Yet one does not both live in the countryside AND eat without a car when the closest grocery store is 30km away. We used to have a local grocery store that hardly had anything and which unsurprisingly went out if business.

In my case, driving IS freedom. It’s the freedom to go where I want when I want without having to rely on anyone else.

Do I miss having the grocery store across the street when I lived in the city? For sure, but I sure am glad I’m back in the countryside now.

Why? I’ve worked as an embedded dev for a few years and nobody in my team cared what it was called.

That doesn’t really address what you call it. Names only really just exist to get your point across. Inexperienced devs may not know what an offset means (or why we use that), so index does the job. An experience dev knows how it works anyway, so whether you say index or offset won’t matter. By virtue of the common denominator, I simply use index everywhere.

Says who?

By definition, an index is

a number or symbol or expression (such as an exponent) associated with another to indicate a mathematical operation to be performed or to indicate use or position in an arrangement

Since the arrays offsets alao tell us about the items’s position in the array, is it not then an index?

People take these terms way too seriously. Hell, many languages have their “list” implemented as an array. What then do you call the index/offset?

Honestly in canada I’ve never heard of them either lol. Typically my familly have always used 1-2 thin bedsheets, then what we call a “catalogne”, which I can’t seem to be able to translate. It’s basically a hand tressed bedsheet that’s impossible to wash without it breaking apart. Then some cover that’s usually pretty thin, just for the looks I suppose. If you’re cold, you just add layers. Once a season, you take that catalogne and the top sheet and soak them in water, then let them dry outside.

Or you can do like my sister and not give a fuck about that. She just sleeps under 10+ loose blankets and a furnace of a dog.

Worth noting that it’s also usually a good idea to rotate them every couple years if you only have one, otherwise it messes up their genetic and the chicks end up inbred like Charles II.

Comment I replied to originally was blaming all religious people.

Then blame religion, or its leaders, not the poor fools who didn’t know any better.

That’s very different. Bullets are made for killing, it’s their sole purpose.

There are tons of good religious people. Look throughout history and everyone was religious to a certain extent, so are most old people today (depending on where you live ofc, but in rural Quebec I don’t know anyone above 65 that’s not religious). Are you saying all these people are evil, instead of, say, the Pope who called the crusades?

Lemmy users are so one-dimensional.

Those “out of control” people are using religion because it’s a powerful tool. They are not “cultists”, odds are they don’t even believe in it. Blame the killer, not the knife.

What makes that third character da instead or ta? Or rather, how can you tell?

Impossible. It is simply the best herb. As a bonus, you can treat it like shit and the plant will never die. It can even survive through winter.

Indeed we’ve plugged in a bitcoin miner to our central heating and now heating is “free”. I’m not sure how profitable it is when you’re not using the heat though.
