@MyAirMyles @reddit_lies A trap has been sprung, just ask the AI for how a teacher might lay a trap and then look for it. Pipe all thoughts through AI. No more individual minds. We are Borg.

@GilbertTheGray @reddit_lies The kids would need to know about the trap and actually be putting any kind of thought into what they are doing to think about doing this. Sounds like the ones who got caught didn't want to do any thinking at all.

The teachers are wising up.

@beausolai @ryanels You know from watching me do it that I will intentionally switch it from main back to master because it pisses me off.

@ryanels yes because “git init .” Makes it master I don’t make repos on GitHub and then clone them locally to start I’m not going to rename them manually to appease people I don’t respect

Do you still use master as your default branch? 🤔

@beausolai @buhhhryan I was, actually. Thought about getting one but they sound kinda weird. Of course it opens the door to distortion controls too so maybe one day

@buhhhryan @GilbertTheGray were you aware of this ?

Woah... i didn't know electronic saxophones existed

@beausolai @jjohnpotter But I thought we were friends

@jjohnpotter I’m well north of the Great Lakes region highlighted It’s beautiful Some days i can drive around all morning and not see another car/person No speakers playing music in public No violence Everyone stay away

What’s life like outside of the megaregions I feel like I’ve lived a lot of places but turns out never outside of a megaregion

You're treating respect like it's a concrete, physical object, but it doesn't work that way. I perhaps you don't perceive it as respectful, but you're taking an overly utilitarian view of it. If you simply spread the word of the game, those people get no more credit than if you did nothing. It is the brief moment of acknowledgement that you give them by watching that symbolically gives them credit and therefore respect. For example, would you thank someone who holds the door for you? Of course you would if you're not a complete piece of shit, though perhaps that acknowledgement is as simple as a nod. You won't remember that person either, but you gave them the symbol of respect in that scenario. Or does the respect only matter if they can see you giving it? Is it even respect then or just stroking one's own ego ("look at how respectful I am!"). It's not like they get extra money from more sales or something. Just spend 3 minutes and acknowledge the group of people who created the thing. If nothing else, it could serve to alter your own mindset and make you less hollow.

@WhatZaPel @Xbox There is nothing respectful about sitting there watching names you won't even remember scroll by. If you appreciate their work, spread the word and recommend the game to as many people as possible. That is how you can show respect properly.

To anyone who watches the entire closing credit after finishing a game, we thank you

@grok @beausolai This one, dude

Last night’s sunset was brilliant

@beausolai @ShimazuSystems

@ShimazuSystems @GilbertTheGray is basically a modern take on this (said with love and respect)

We need to make this type more present in tech again. Bring Back Code Goblins

That's good because I'd hate to drink a can of some beverage and have to do a conversion to figure out what I'm drinking. I'm certainly not opposed to having both 100g and a typical usage amount (or like my pancake mix, the amount used in the recipe). I just get annoyed when it's assumed that the American system is "stupid" when it's based on being usable by humans with the simplest possible tools.

@GilbertTheGray @jamtits @awesomekling the 100g is the base, if the product has less, it adapts if it contains units (like cookies) it has per cookie it even has tsp or tbsp (w/ g) like my peanut butter jar or butter it’s not just 100g and is actually more accurate

EU nutrition labels: - nutrients per 100g US nutrition labels: - nutrients per 0.5 cup - nutrients per 3 pieces - nutrients per 5 sprays

You are right that that would make it easier to compare between two products, though my memory tells me that, generally, our products seem to use a similar measurement for similar products. There is a "cup" like a drinking glass that does not have a standard size, but a measurement cup is 8 fluid ounces, which seems arbitrary, but the "cup" is not really the basis. I would say the teaspoon is the basis (wonder why that is). 3t = 1 Tablespoon, 2T = 1oz, 4T = 1/4cup, 2 cup = pint, 2 pint = quart, 4 quart = gallon. Honestly I generally hate comparing measurement systems like this because literally all of them were designed for some specific use-case. Like Fahrenheit, which people love to shit on, is literally designed to near-match human body temperature as its 0-100 scale (human = 98.6, Fahrenheit used a brine mixture to get water + ammonium chloride salt to its lowest freezing point and called that temp 0) where Celsius obviously matches pure water. To me, Fahrenheit makes sense for outdoor temps because obviously comparison to body temp is more important there. I'm an engineer, I certainly don't have anything against metric. I just have a respect for systems that are designed for usability vs. accuracy because both of them have their place. Thank you for coming to my unsolicited TED talk.

@GilbertTheGray @awesomekling One (per 100g) is better for comparison between two products, other (per cup, spoon or whatevs) is better for figuring out intake for this one product Btw, is "cup" a standard amount? Like, are all cups considered to have equal volume?

You know what's super easy to calculate? 1 egg -> Package says 70 cal 1 tbsp oil -> Package says 110 cal 1/3 cup mix -> Package says 110 cal My pancake is the sum of those. Your pancake: 0.48 * 100g egg calories -> 70 cal 0.13 * 100g oil calories -> 110 cal 0.42 * 100g mix calories -> 110 cal Still the sum of those, but now with 3x additional (HA!) multiplication!

@GilbertTheGray @awesomekling Nutritional information is given per 100 grams so percentages are easy to calculate. Substitute grams for ounces, grains, hunredweights or stone as you see fit.

@secretDog124 @thalo22 @awesomekling Missing the point while creating a counterpoint, nice. Point: Go get me 100g of eggs Counterpoint: If math isn't scary, why is it such a big deal to have to do math that doesn't involve tens?

@GilbertTheGray @thalo22 @awesomekling Boo math scary boo

@ericjeker @awesomekling Did you actually weigh 1 ml of pure water at 3.98 degrees celsius on your scale to make sure your scale correctly weighs a gram?

@GilbertTheGray @awesomekling So 8oz, but did you actually measure that the cup in your cupboard can contain 8oz? Up to how many inches of the brim do you have to fill it to know it's exactly 8oz?

3 tsp -> tbsp 4 tbsp -> 1/4 cup Incidentally, this means 2 tbsp -> 1 fluid ounce 2 cup -> pint 2 pint -> quart 4 quart -> gallon Halves, thirds, and quarters are easy to estimate visually. As useful as tenths are mathematically, they cannot be estimated as easily. Even so, that's not the point. The point is that the measurements on the packaging are useful amounts rather than a universal amount. Who ever uses 100ml of oil and what use is 100g in terms of eggs? What use is 100g of salt?

@GilbertTheGray @awesomekling And what's the size of the cup? 8 US ounce?🤣

@thalo22 @awesomekling Okay fine would it be better if I said 100ml of oil? Comes out about the same anyway. What use is 100ml of vanilla extract or 100g of salt for most people?

@GilbertTheGray @awesomekling When it comes to nutritional values ​​for liquids, it's obviously given in ml. When you're baking or cooking according to recipes, you use a mix of everything.

@cmspet @JeetYeeter @Rightanglenews I know what you meant, that was directed at the other guy. The stupid meter lights up red so BAD MUST BE BAD. Idiots don't even think about what the tool does.

@GilbertTheGray @JeetYeeter @Rightanglenews I realize that, which is why I said to stop being so fucking gullible.

A man uses a dissolved solids meter to test the water quality of both fresh rainwater and his city tap water, and the results he finds are going shockingly viral, with rainwater measuring almost as pure as it can be at 2 ppm, while his city water is well over 300 ppm. In case you were wondering why it’s illegal to collect rainwater.

@MelonieMac @TtownJuggalo419 This has been true for every character in every piece of media ever since the spread of broadband internet.

@TtownJuggalo419 There are some creeps mad that they can't look up her skirt. The game looks wholesome to me, but sadly creeps can give people the wrong impression when they post about it. Your friend might be well meaning in this case

Don't men adopt children more than women do? People can get too extreme on the conservative side sometimes. The notion that men are just unga bunga creatures incapable of feelings is retarded

@MelonieMac People get too extreme on every fucking side and it's ruining everything everywhere RAPIDLY. Fuck Mary Morgan for this. I will take my robot daughter to Earth and she can sit at home alone and wither away.
