  • What a loser. Kindness is practically free, yet he still can’t afford it.

  • 28 ÷ 31 × 0.5 m = 0.45161… m which, to one decimal place is still 0.5 m, so I think the admins have you here if you weren't more precise in your negotiations.

  • What location do you want?

    For the current directory, there’s pwdFor the server, there’s hostname, as has been pointed out already.

    Or are you wondering how to get any of that in the prompt, rather than just $>? You'll need to set the PS1 variable for that.

  • How do magnates work?

    They don't.

  • Nobody knows what magnates are

  • For Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion, you only need to calculate with twos:

    • Divide by two
    • Add two
    • Subtract two from the tens (i.e., subtract 20).

    For extra accuracy, after adding two (in step two 😉), slide that number over to the right (i.e., divide by 10) and add that on. Do this as many times as you are comfortable with (which can be none for rough calculations).

    For example:

    • 90ºF divided by two is 45
    • 45 plus two is 47
    • Subtracting two from the 4 in 47 leaves 27

    This is quite rough so round it off: 30ºC

    More accurately:

    • 90ºF divided by 2 is 45
    • 45 plus two is 47
    • Sliding 47 over to the right makes 4.7
    • 47 plus 4.7 is 51.7
    • Subtracting two from the 5 in 51.7 leaves 31.7

    This is a little rough so round it off: 32ºC.

    Probably unnecessarily accurate:

    • 90ºF divided by 2 is 45
    • 45 plus 2 is 47
    • Sliding 47 over gives 4.7, and again is 0.47
    • 47 + 4.7 + 0.47 = 52.17
    • Subtracting twenty makes 32.17ºC

    There's still an infinity of sliding that could go on so, once again, round off: 32.2ºC.

    The usual (F - 32) * 5 ÷ 9 formula gives 32.222…ºC.

  • If that's a preference for weird quotations, your brain must be even colder than I thought. Can I get you a hat—perhaps one with two cans of warm, tasteless beer strapped to the sides—to heat it up again?

  • Typical supremacist indoctrination, treating integers as if they're the only real numbers, and decimal places as if they aren't significant at all.

  • You can have the illogical quotations“,” or you can have the sympathy“.” Which“‘”ll it be“,” pardner“?”

  • Look, if you want sympathy, then give up your imperialism (and its units), and just say “-22 degrees”. That sure is cold.

  • When I saw it earlier, the screenshot looked Microsofty, so I checked Bing Maps, and it suggested the same diversion (although now it routes more directly). Maybe that's the underlying service, and it's biased towards sending folks via the Pacific Northwest, because even staying overnight in Chicago seems like it'd beat a four-day trip.

    So I think you're right.

  • Doesn't the Zephyr going the other way take you to Chicago?

  • Historical note: The sixteen stripes represent colonialist expansion from the founding thirteen.

  • President Madzuki will continue to protest his kidneyapping as long as he has a pulse. After all, the peaple of Vignazuela deserve better than another Juan Garbanzo.

  • It rewards preventing growth specifically via redistribution, whereas a laissez-faire approach is quickly punished, in brazen defiance of Western economic principles.

    The indoctrination of tall poppy syndrome couldn’t be any clearer: accumulation of tetrominoes is so terrible that it’s better to spread them out and have them be destroyed.
