German: Konjunktiv I and II. Most people first learning German will hear the Konjunktiv II in its usage similar to a subjunctive in english (“Wenn das so wäre” - “If it were that way”), but it does so much more. You can switch full sentences to the Konjunktiv II, but that immediately implies that you doubt the statement being presented. For instance, if you say “er hätte es vergessen”, you’re essentially saying “he allegedly forgot it, but I really doubt it”, just by using the Konjunktiv II.

Then, there’s the Konjunktiv I, which is similar, but instead of voicing your disapproval, you’re staying completely neutral. Taking the example from before, it would be “er habe es vergessen”, with which you’re saying, “he allegedly forgot it, and I neither support nor disavow that statement” - again, all only with a change of verb form. It’s wonderful when you’re relaying something someone else said without adding your own evaluation.

I don’t know how much C++ you know, but what I can say is that I learned it using learncpp.com and I can’t recommend the site enough. It goes through the topics so that you don’t just understand them on a surface level, but also understand all the underpinnings. The only thing missing IMO is asynchronous stuff like threads, mutexes and so on, networking would also be nice. But after going through all the lessons on the site I understood C++ well enough so that adding that on top wasn’t difficult anymore.

I wouldn’t want to be without one. I’ve used them multiple times for things where it would get too complex or awkward in a spreadsheet tool. Recently, for instance, I’ve created a database for a non-profit I manage to oversee potential donors, donation requests and donations, and keep things much more organized than I could with a simple spreadsheet. Yes, there’s more upfront work, but it makes the data that much easier to work with.

OK, so why is Anthropic, an AI company itself, posting this? I mean, interesting story, but I have this feeling that the reason they’re posting this might be more interesting.

Honestly, even without this, there are so many reasons not to buy from that shitty company.

That’s essentially it. It’s a general rule that adjectives ending in -c turn into either -che or -cque.

GrapheneOS is very picky about what phones are supported, which is why up to now only certain pixels are supported, as well as Motorola phones in the future.

Yeah, I was referring to both posters, I guess I didn’t make it particularly obvious.

I saw the video. No, that wasn’t an explosion. No smoke, no nothing. There’s no credible evidence to support that. Let’s not spread baseless conspiracy theories, please.

The broken clock strikes again.

UTC would be unlikely to diverge from rotational time by a full hour for at least a thousand years, Shemar said.

If humankind lasts that long, it might be the least of our worries. ®

Lol.

In Canada they’re currently bulldozing a school because a school shooting happened there.

Also, lemmy.ml has some, uh, issues, a fair number of instances have defederated from it. So I’m pretty sure it will reach many more people on this instance.

Yes and no. If you have a 5V power source that can deliver 10 000 amps, you won’t even notice anything if you touch it. If you have a 5 000V power source that can deliver 10 000A, you’re fucked. And my point is, generally when voltages are that high (outside of some scientific experiments like yours), they can also provide however many amps it needs to seriously fuck you up.

14 000 V is an insanely high voltage - around 100 times as much as what you get out of a wall outlet. I don’t know about this case, but the cases I know of (mostly railway catenary) can also deliver generally at least 10 000 A. That’s more than enough to essentially fry all your internal organs from the inside, and if you survive it, it’s an insanely long and painful recovery process.

Honestly, knowing what I know about injuries from voltages like that, I’d rather die than survive it.

I believe that only applies to the Gulf of Mexico, though.

EDIT: I was wrong, it turns out the US is supposed to see Lake America, Canada is supposed to see Lake Ontario, and the rest both.

Talk about strawmen.

OK, so the rape victim tells you that some people deserved their rapes. Do you stand by your point? Or is knowledge and logic maybe just a slight bit more important by chance?

the ideas of conditioning and building tolerance might be foreign to you

I feel some very strong projection vibes here. Also, conditioning yourself to pain doesn’t work by going from zero to one of the most painful things known to man.

I mean, there were (are?) Alternative cultures that see pedophilia favorably. I’m not exactly about to warm up to that, either.

Lol, you say not everyone shakes for days, the Wikipedia article doesn’t say that either, it says may shake for days. The irony of indirectly accusing others of not thinking critically and not even reading properly in the first place.

Pearl-clutching your way into validating pain-avoidance as a priority worth pursuing over other practical aspects of life might be the way for you, but it’s not watertight enough to impose on others.

The mental gymnastics here are astounding. There’s a difference between not doing pain avoidance and a fucking torture ritual. Or is that another sarcastic strawman again? (I guess I shouldn’t takes your texts seriously?)

I’m not imposing anything. If someone who is fully capable (read: adult) of making the decision and decides to subject themselves to a torture ritual like that - their decision. I have a problem with kids at an impressionable age being pressured into it. And before you come up with “they’re different” or something: they’re still… What do you call them again? Oh, right, humans! And humans’ brains are only fully developed at age 25. Age 12 isn’t even at the fucking halfway point.
