No one knows how to read a sextant any more. The horror!!

Analog clocks are not really essential technology.

I forget who said it, but an American general once said “Amateurs discuss tactics; professionals discuss logistics.”

“I use mayo btw.”

There, ftfy

A screwdriver doesn’t become a bad screwdirver just because someone is using it to drive nails. There is a lot to hate about Microsoft, but its basic Office tools are really quite good, when used in the manner in which they were designed. There really are no meaningful competitors for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Outlook as an email client is not great, but its strength is calendaring.

Word is not horrible as a word processor. The issue is that people try to use it to do typesetting, reference management, and all kinds of non word processor shit. And Microsoft encourages this. If you understand what the tool does it’s really a decent tool.

Not to my understanding?

I’ve been trying to find a search engine that doesn’t use AI for this very reason, but with little luck. Any suggestions?

No mixed feelings at all. I am unequivocally sad that we lost Richard Simmons today 😢😢😢

I am a Chinese American. I can’t speak for the pope (in fact I’m atheist so I could not care less about the pope). But I can tell you that many recent immigrants who speak English as a second language are very bad at nuances in English. If someone hears the word “fag” in the context of talking about gay men, they’re not all going to pick up that it’s a slur, depending on where and how they’ve heard the term. Many of them will associate fag=gay as a matter of vocabulary. And my experience is that first gen immigrants tend to ignore or avoid pop culture so their overall exposure to language trends and usage are usually poor.

painter: can you just hold her steady please?

Ngl she (?) is kinda cute

that’s because harvesting croissants uses really dangerous sharp tools to cut them off the stems and workers lose digits all the time. It’s why the French have great single payer healthcare.

Yup

Based on this article it sounds like as long as you don’t have open ports for remote administration open and/or if you’ve changed the default admin password you SHOULD be ok? I’m curious to see what recommendations Ubiquiti has regarding this.

Yeah but Customs is at point of entry whereas Security is at point of departure. So Security would not have caught contraband rotten fish.

It’s stupid because they don’t understand probability and risk assessment. Yeah there are side effects but they are exceedingly rare and even if you get them the outcomes are usually far less severe than the disease you’re trying to prevent. It’s like saying “I refuse to wear a seat belt because it might wrinkle my suit jacket.”

I would love to learn how to block YouTube ads with a proxy. Do you have a link to instructions?

The cake is a lie.
