For me the times are usually the other way around. I have coworkers who’d need two sentences for the actual question but wrap it in 15 minutes of useless small talk when they are on the phone.

26·23 days agoover half of Americans say the shooting was unjustified.
That’s a low bar to pass if I’ve ever seen one.
That’s just because it’s pronounced “Bose” instead of “Bose”.
His name is Jose!
Jose-Einstein-Condensate!

I did not know that. I saw him in “das Boot” just this evening and kept thinking “I know this guy, but where from?” Fuck. Such a shame.

9·1 month agohe scraps the IHRA definition of antisemitism and lifts restrictions on boycotting Israel.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?
1·1 month agoIn Germany, where I’m from, FDP (“die Liberalen”) is a prime example. They are notorious for campaigning on civil liberties issues and then, once in government, dropping most or all of them in favor of radical deregulation and tax gifts for rich people.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?
1·1 month agoEnacting progressive taxation, punishing white collar crime, establishing strong environmental protections, establishing a strong social safety net, ensuring high quality universal healthcare, enforcing anti-trust legislation, and enacting electoral finance reforms are all things that liberals support
Those are all things that the liberals of old supported. But the parties that call themselves “liberal” today are usually strictly neoliberal. So that’s what people have come to associate with the term.

It’s not the 18th century anymore, it’s no longer “dishonourable” to shoot officers and of fucking course you try to cut off the head of the snake if you can. What the fuck?!

Linux@programming.dev•NVIDIA Drops Pascal Support On Linux, Causing Chaos On Arch Linux
10·1 month agoThe last time I updated my driver, BG3 didn’t start anymore. So I really could not care less about driver updates for my 8 years old card.
But still, fuck nvidia.
Never pre-order.
I have questions.
Are there gonna be 3 levels now? (Real time battle, planetary overworld, space over-overworld)?
Are the space marines gonna march in a phalanx formation?
Which space marine is gonna be the princess?
in the event of like complete societal collapse or hyperinflation, they could use it for purchasing.
They are going to learn that you can’t eat gold. It has next to no purpose other than looking pretty, and that’s not going to matter much anymore in one of these events. It’s value is as speculative as any other.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Engineer who can't function without AI
5·2 months agoEngineers use math and know math. That doesn’t mean they have math degrees. They have engineering degrees. Of which math courses are a part.
Moreover, most people with actual math and science degrees explicitly are not engineers.


I’m still waiting for a new terror from the deep.
