This meme wouldn’t exist had they done that. But they chose the zeroeth, not the first, of January for Excel.
Same with chips or nuts.
strict ≠ abusive
I found Watchdogs 2 weird in this regard. You steal money from random people, who often struggle themselves, steal cars like nothing, murder a suburb’s worth of people, and still you’re “the good guys”?
I rounded the numbers to whole integers
whole integers, the best kind of integers
Why is that absurd?
Only you didn’t explain the number, and why it’s a fraction.
Well, human children are fucking stupid. (A community that has no pendant in the fediverse, it seems)
Sunroof. So what?
But does it really make less sense to say “a string slice”?
That’s an interesting point. You say “a pizza slice” or “a slice of pizza”, but you only say “a slice of bread”, not “a bread slice” (right? I’m not a native speaker).
But fReEdOm Of SpEeCh somehow prevents laws against million dollar donations by private companies for elected officials.
I guess everything is NSFW nowadays…
Isaac Asimov, “Hostess” (1951):
There were four fingers but no thumb. Each finger had five independent ball-and-socket joints. In this way, the flexibility lost with the absence of the thumb was made up for by the almost tentacular properties of the fingers. What was even more interesting to her biologist’s eyes was the fact that each Hawkinsite finger ended in a vestigial hoof, very small and, to the layman, unidentifiable as such, but clearly adapted at one time to running, just as man’s had been to climbing.

“[…] Look, there are five intelligent races in the Galaxy. These have all developed independently, yet have managed to converge in remarkable fashion. It is as though, in the long run, intelligence requires a certain physical makeup to flourish. […]”
[…]
“Now when the differences among the intelligences are closely investigated, it is found over and over again that it is you Earthmen, more than any of the others, who are unique. For instance, it is only on Earth that life depends upon metal enzymes for respiration. Your people are the only ones which find hydrogen cyanide poisonous. Yours is the only form of intelligent life which is carnivorous. Yours is the only form of life which has not developed from a grazing animal. And, most interesting of all, yours is the only form of intelligent life known which stops growing upon reaching maturity.”
There is an option to default to the GRUB entry you chose last. I didn’t know that either until Manjaro used it.

The term derives from the […] Latin word privus or perhaps privo that meant […] an individual without an office.
Nothing. Here’s this meme’s origin story:
At work we have a tool that imports Excel spreadsheets into user-defined data records. We let the user decide which column goes into which record field.
Today I noticed that when you upload a spreadsheet with more than 26 columns (that is, you enter the double-digit range), the columns aren’t sorted anymore. (When I programmed that, stupid me thought that it was absolutely unreasonable to import 26 columns, given the way the data is processed later.) Instead of A…Z, AA, AB, …, it was A, AA, AB, B, C, ….
So I thought: I should fix that. It’s easy. Just convert the hexavigesimal system to decimal and sort based on that. I even was happy that I could apply some school knowledge for once. (It wasn’t all useless, yay!) Then my math wasn’t mathing. It took me a few minutes to find the system by which Excel columns are numbered. In the end I was annoyed that a task of 5 minutes took… longer… and made this meme.
By the way, to come back to the 10² columns: I’ll take any bet that such a spreadsheet will be shoved into the importer before I retire from my current company.
