Oh, that makes more sense.

Your ad-blocker has popups?

That… completely defeats the point.

I have absolutely no idea how big 55 gallons would be

Something a bit larger than 200l… I think an oil barrel is around that size (and yeah, it’s “the standard unit” for that).

In all seriousness, if the GP said it was a 2 gallon container I would honestly not know if it was true.

Oh, hi Achilles! How have the last dozen centuries been?

The worst thing is… I don’t know if I laugh or if I believe this.

Well, everybody told them. Many times. And also pointed and laughed.

Where are my glasses?!?

Well, I guess if you ask the right translator, it may.

It’s a thing on most of the world. But it seems not to be a thing on a large part of the US.

Java requiring you to write every exception that can happen in your code isn’t helpful.

Explicit error types are great, but Java managed to make them on a way where you get almost none of the upside and is so full of downsides that indoctrinated a generation into thinking knowing your errors is bad.

The amount of people on the internet seriously complaining that both Rust error handling sucks and that .unwrap(); is too verbose is just staggering.

Even if you want it to be human readable, you don’t need to include the name into every field and use balanced separators.

Any CSV variant would be an improvement already.

What is the cause for spacetime or quantummechanics? Idk but somehow they don’t make it on the list of fundamental forces.

Well, they are not forces.

Of all the games that I would expect to have a global ranking, that is the absolute last.

Still, it’s useless to try to get a board of the right size by nailing together boards you’ve cut wrong. You throw it out and try to make a better cut on the next one.

For you and anybody else wondering, the GP is a joke and should not be taken seriously.

The reason there isn’t a resistor with the value on the meme is because real resistors have error tolerances and are never the exact value on their marks. If you go assembling a card-castle of resistors with the wrong value so that the labels add up to the value you want, you will still have a resistor of the wrong value.

at least in the disciplines that develop weapons

So interested they declared quantum physics an anti-Arian idea that should be exterminated and forced almost everybody with any knowledge that could help in making a nuclear weapon out of the country…

China currently is not communist either.

They stopped killing academics at around the same time they stopped being communist.

As they say… donate a kidney and you are a hero, donate three and somehow you are a monster.

It’s a popular strategy for Fascists.

the Nazis and the OG Fascists did it, and so did the communist Chinese.
