  • Hot take: There is not now, nor has there ever been, a non-janky OS.

    Some Linux distributions are absolutely less janky than Windows at the moment, though, absolutely.

    I haven't used a mac in a few years, but it was pretty jank-free the last time I tried it, but I'm certain the situation there has gotten worse.

  • Work requires Ubuntu. Still with Kubuntu. Works, doesn't spy on me.

    Brothers.

  • Oh, I didn't even mention the towns we have that are named after much smaller places. Our Calgary is much bigger than the original, and I also live near a Colonsay, which while tiny is about double the size of the one in Scotland.

  • All of North America is weird like that. I live within an easy drive of Stockholm, Kandahar, Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Aberdeen, Hague, and Moose Jaw.

  • I love that the goat sacrifice is before replacing the cable...

  • The secret is adding beef to the vegan steak.

  • I don't think pew pews are real yet. Biathalon uses bang bangs. Or maybe boom booms. Jury's still out.

  • I skipped that step and went straight to cameras in the toilet pointed up.

  • One step closer to a solar powered laser beam guitar.

  • I don't think you were hostile, you just have a different experience than others in this thread. At my workplace we design hardware and make embedded systems. Depending on which part of the system you're working on you'll either never leave Visual Studio or exclusively use the unix command line. Both groups are absolutely serious professionals. Not every workplace is like mine; most will have only one of the two groups.

  • The one near me plays the 4 bar "Westminster Quarters". It plays one bar for each quarter hour. The full song on the hour, and bangs out the hour.

  • The neuter pronoun ("it") doesn't work for humans in English either.

  • Locked

    I dunno

  • Warning: my music nerd's about to come out.

    I'm in my 40s, and have been playing music since single digits. I still remember the order of lines in the staffs with "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge", "FACE", "Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always", and "All Cows Eat Grass". I did teach my kids "Good Burritos Don't Fall Apart", though, since they seem to like burritos.

    My internal math nerd agrees with the grandparent though, for some reason I just remembered the order of operations and was confused when my kids came home with PEDMAS. But to be fair, I use the order of operations every day at work, so 🤷. I'm also one of those people who will insist on using parentheses everywhere there's more than two terms, though, so take from that what you will.

  • 1982 was 43 years ago.....

  • Geforce 4 came out in 2002, so this meme is likely about 23 years old. Can legally drink, and could have voted for both Trudeau and Carney.

  • If they're bringing up ebikes, may as well whine about regular bikes. They can also go above 30. I go over 30 for about half my morning commute.

  • Not gonna lie.. my first reaction to that in this context is "two in the pink one in the stink". Now I feel dirty, thanks, Beryl.

  • Yup. Nunavut in 1999.
