What a weird thing to worry about in a world where some of the most recognizable products have silly, unserious names like Google and Twitter, and where the slogan for one of the most popular media players of all time is “it really whips the llama’s ass”

Gimp. A word used to refer to someone with a lower extremity injury or deformity, or a synonym for the word “hobble”

You could try typing the term used to refer (usually derogatorily) to a person with an injury or deformity in their lower extremities, or the term used as a synonym for hobble.

Even if a person is smart, they still have blind spots and areas in which they are still indeed dumb as fuck. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, those blind spots lie in things like politics, economics, and civics.

I hope you’re this pedantic when people ask for a Kleenex or a q-tip, or when they use Velcro

No it isn’t, that’s the economic reality. Do you think billionaires make that much because of some outrageously high salary or hourly wage? Because that ain’t it. They make their money by having money.

These are the four stages of Rand al’Thor

It’s Canonical’s (the company that created/updates/supports Ubuntu) package format. There are a few problems.

They can only be hosted on proprietary Canonical servers. That sort of flies in the face of one of the “free” aspects of Linux. Canonical is also sort of fostering a reputation of abandoning/massively changing something core in Ubuntu every couple major releases, which has made some wary of depending on snaps, since if Canonical decides to stop hosting them, anyone dependent on them is kinda screwed. Snaps can also chew up disk space if you’re not careful. I don’t think that’s necessarily unique to snaps, but in my experience that issue has been worse with snaps than with comparable alternatives like flatpaks.

I don’t have a yard. Now who’s making assumptions, hmmm?

Without the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus is just another guy, and Christmas would just be called Winter Solstice or Yule Festival

His business breaks down in a matter of a couple of weeks and there’s never enough to become a problem.

Your yard and shoes smell like dog shit, you’re simply nose blind to it. Please clean up after your dog shits.

It’s sad that the whole “meathead = dumb asshole” stereotype has taken hold, because in my experience, most of the meatheads I’ve encountered have been sweethearts

Is this a fresh new copypasta, or are you just a really long-winded, elaborate troll?

Workshop Companion is great for beginner-friendly woodworking, and I’ve been really liking HomeRenoVision DIY for home renovation content.

That’s funny, when life sucks, I go watch one of Pat Finnerty’s What Makes This Song Stink videos, a direct (and similarly detailed) parody of Beato’s videos

Oh yeah think of all the “soccer? I barely knew 'er” jokes we could make

DADADUH

Ugh. Stop shaming people for wanting to automate mundane tasks. No one’s playing a stupid game here, the problem isn’t robot vacuums. The problem is that manufacturers insist on holding features hostage on the basis that you connect said vacuum to the Internet, so they can harvest (and then sell) your data. Be mad at that, not at normal people wanting to make a boring chore less burdensome.

You’re absolutely correct that Korea (and Vietnam I suppose, I don’t know much about their language) invented their alphabet to make literacy more accessible, and I think that’s awesome and a really good feature of alphabet systems. I can even see why that would make people prefer alphabet systems, since accessibility is super important when you’re first learning a language.

I think your cached vs. real-time analogy is spot on. And while you can definitely come up with scenarios where caching is better than real-time rendering, and other scenarios where real-time rendering is better than caching, it’d be difficult to argue that one is unequivocally better or worse than the other.
