Virtually everyone fails to grasp exactly how large of a number a billion is. It’s so, so much bigger than the ”very big number” people think of when they hear the word.

It is, this infographic is wrong. Or I guess technically some other standard could define it like the infographic, but the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard defines it as a secondary hierarchy specifically for user data.

Specifically, these are for being able to pass in the tubing when your computer overheats playing Counter-Strike 1.5 so you pull apart your 50cc moped so you can bolt the moped radiator to the side of the case since it doesn’t fit inside. At least that’s the only use I’ve actually seen in practice.

Given that said game is also for sale on the Humble Store, I find those statements dubious at best.

The name originally comes from Finland and the Winter War, where they were used against soviet tanks.

”C++ is a horrible language. It’s made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it’s much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do nothing but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.”

Maybe not outright outlaw, but they will be taxed out of existence. Effectively you will have the choice of paying 10k in pollution taxes or 5k for the functional brake pedal subscription, and this shit will become norm.

They still do: https://www.withings.com/mx/en/scanwatch-2

And they’re awesome. Battery lasts weeks on a single charge, works like a watch should, tracks all sorts of things and gives you silent notifications like a smart wearable should.

I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. Comparing to a traditional loop, it has marginally better thermals, one less set of tubing (i.e. places for leaks to spring up), and a smaller form factor. Wether or not those are “worth the money” is completely subjective. As someone interested in custom SSF builds I thought it was interesting.

I have an older Withings watch and will buy another once I need to. Even bought a set for my parents. I really dont need a tiny phone strapped to my wrist, I have an actually usable one right in my pocket. The battery lasts weeks, the heartrate and sleep tracking stuff works, I can keep the phone on silent and still get notifications… it really is the perfect smart watch as far as I’m concerned.

Ours are pre-fried at the factory, then frozen and packaged. We typically then finish cooking them in the oven.

She was 31 years old at the time of writing, way too old to claim the ”edgy teenager on a message board”-defense.

In my just under 40 years on this rock, the only time I’ve seen someone deepfrying french fries at home has been on American TV shows. It’s a lot more popular to cook them in the oven around here.

Jännästi esität olevasi perillä siitä, mitä sinne vieraskirjaan on kirjoitettu, mutta sinun tuntuu olevan mahdotonta itse lisätä sitä kontekstia joka asian selventäisi. Kuvittelisi, että olisit jo tänne liittänyt sen Pirjon kommentin jonka myötä tuo lähijuna jossa niitä ruumita tulisi ei enään liitykkään ”pikkusomppu”-caseen, vaan johonkin aivan muuhun lähijunaan jossa Riikka aloittelijana harjoittelee aseenkäyttöä.

Tähän nyt jää kaksi vaihtoehtoa enkä oikein tiedä kumpi on pahempi: se että puolustat tätä selkeästi tietämättä mitä siellä vieraskirjassa lukee, vai se että teet näin tietäen ettei siellä lue mitään mikä asiaa parantaisi.

Tässä vielä se Pirjon alkuperäinen kommentti, jos sitä joku kaipaa:

Ei jeesus tätä menoa. ”Irroitettu kontekstista”, ja kun siihen lisää sen kontekstin asia on melko selvä:

Kommentti aseenkäsittelytaidoista tosiaan, ei suinkaan viittaus kirjaimellisesti edelliseen kappaleeseen, jossa kuvailee raivoaan lähijunassa kohtaamilleen ”pikkusompuille” jotka eivät arvosta Suomea vaan tulevat tänne meidän rahoilla elämään. Miten helvetin pihalla te oikein olette?
