Ask me about kumquats.
Friend who isn’t a degenerate: What are you laughing at?
Me: panic
“What’s up with the wax by the slow cooker?”
“Well, I’ve read about 10 papers on high performance cycling and have concluded, that hot waxing my chain may save about half a watt.”
“When did you last ride it?”
“Also a good question, indeed.”
Honestly… who does that?
That sounds whacky af.
(going through a loved ones phone I mean)
I fairly often drive 50,000m/h, except on the autobahn. There I usually go about 120,000,000mm/h.
And if I stack 1000 1cm³ blocks of water, the resulting 10m high column has a volume of 1l, weighs 1kg and exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal, while 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.
What I want to say is: Your point is stupid and your units are too.
Linux users (sometimes):
sees an extremely user-friendly interface - so good that everyone and their grandma can use it perfectly right away without any explanation
“Ugh, why doesn’t this look more complicated?”
Edit: This was in response to someone commenting “Why does it look like toddler UI?”. The comment seems to be deleted now.
I work in IT and sometimes I have to explain something to a user who is somewhat tech-illiterate. Even developers may have significant blind spots when it comes to their OS or networking, for example.
So, if I notice it, I’ll change some terminology and I may explain instructions differently or use metaphors so every user understands what I’m saying.
And most coworkers do the same thing.
Here’s why I bring this up: For whatever reason, some colleagues give female coworkers the same treatment.
And that’s weird.
If someone is constantly treated like this, they should be allowed to rant about it on their blog. I’m fine with snark if it geht’s a point across.
How can it be that people don’t realize how badly faked this is and what position it is trying to sneak through?
If my 3D printer has a problem, it’s not working properly.
When my 2D printer throws a fit, it’s because it’s doing its job of being a vicious piece of shit perfectly.
Important difference.
