Normal Tangent

@AlizTheHax0r Yes, but only on the technicality that there’s a whole bunch of stuff that they are no longer allowed to sell to US buyers due to the trade war. AliExpress is a ghost town compared to what it used to be.

Do I win AliExpress cursed item competition with this

@VinciRSS The only real file browser ever made for Linux is Konqueror.

KDE might be comfy after all. Is there comfy file explorer for Linux? I don't really like Thunar and Dolphin they feel like made 20 years ago and forgotten.

@ricardovg @VinciRSS The one and only.

@VinciRSS konqueror

@joe_cieslik It’s just setting those vertices aside for later, like when a recipe tells you to reserve the pasta water.

tscircuit's autorouter excels at creating abstract, modern art

@k1ng_baa @_fat_ugly_rat_ Having grown up in that dark green on the banks of the Mississippi, I can confirm that everyone was extremely racist. The difference is that the people in the yellow think that’s a bad thing.

@_fat_ugly_rat_ Why do the people in the yellow devote so much energy to calling the people in the green racist

How did you fumble this so hard when we literally have The Map

@Deporitazz @PixelAloha @platedpanda I mean, you could definitely learn how to use it. But there were so many normal actions that you should have been able to do but you learned to avoid because they increased the chances of a crash. God forbid you right-click on anything too fast.

@TenativeTangent @PixelAloha @platedpanda It sounds crazy but in my personal experience I've had less issues with Me than i did with 98 lol even on a machine that was branded built for 98 and came out at the peak of 98se

I love how windows XP has been retconned into being a good operating system

@Deporitazz @PixelAloha @platedpanda Hey it’s the guy in the legend

@jcalvarez2 @Afghan_Engineer That’s why we RMS everything.

@Afghan_Engineer The current does not flow in one direction, unless your mains outlet supplies DC instead of the usual AC.

A, B, C or D?

@sudocraoi @platedpanda Nobody remembers XP pre-SP2.

@platedpanda Upon release it was a steaming shitpile, unstable, prone to crashes, chugging performance and horrific exploits like the blaster worm. The situation wasn't rectified until service pack 2, 3 years after release!

@PixelAloha @platedpanda Are you forgetting M.E.? I’ve heard legends of someone who got it to boot on the first try.

@platedpanda XP was the PEAK of blue screen of death. People do not remember this. Your computer would hard lock every time you sat down with it. Later service packs fixed it and that's why XP has this good reputation now.

@gfaunaa @platedpanda @tGMR_Botclone Yeah but you could also say that about what came before XP.

@platedpanda @tGMR_Botclone the required built in software was less of a problem because it actually functioned and was useful unlike today and wasnt the branded stuff exclusive to OEMs?

@GDGoldSon @AeonPeneko This

@AeonPeneko epic's own property is the perfect testing grounds for the new engine. its as simple as that.

Why on earth does rocket league need Unreal Engine Six

@blind_via On that one you’re expected to know how to select the stake length. There might be a technical note if you’re lucky.

@TenativeTangent what part number is that, this one has no such specification

Why do USB-C connectors not give a shit about lead protrusion >.<'

@zackslab @rahim_mirani @ionthedev Photon flow.

@rahim_mirani @ionthedev eh. EM waves. if you think in electron flow you’re not gonna get very far.

once you understand hardware, you realize it’s all just electrons everything else is wrapper on top of it

@Sheep0_ @CyrilH44 It’s already a fictional story, a.k.a. an imagined fantasy. No need to nest them.

@CyrilH44 This type of uncertain ending works for movies like Inception or Shutter Island where the uncertainty is at the core of the film. That’s not the type of movie Interstellar is. I see no reason to pretend the ending is some sort of imagined fantasy.

What? It’s definitely real; we don’t need to be doing this for every film.

@Rei_Sh0 No, I’ve met this cat and they definitely hate the gays.

why do people keep calling heterochromia that

@my_oregon @SamaHoole They weren’t trying to make a palette of colors to match nature, they were trying to match what people want to buy.

@SamaHoole Even the darkest sample on the fan is nowhere near the color of Wild Alaskan Chinook. I would know. 😉

In the 1980s, the Norwegian salmon farming industry ran into a colour problem. Wild salmon are pink because they eat krill and small crustaceans containing a pigment called astaxanthin. The pigment accumulates in the muscle tissue and gives the flesh its colour. That colour is one of the cues a diner uses, consciously or otherwise, to decide whether the fish on the plate is appetising. Farmed salmon, raised on soy protein, corn meal, fish meal from wild-caught smaller fish, and stabilisers, do not eat krill. They do not accumulate astaxanthin. Without intervention, their flesh is grey. Washed-out, unappealing grey. Nobody buys a grey salmon. So the industry adopted synthetic astaxanthin, manufactured by Hoffmann-La Roche, originally developed as a feed additive to brighten poultry yolks. It is added to salmon feed in measured doses. The doses are calibrated against a colour chart called the SalmoFan, produced by the same company, which the farmer holds against a slice of flesh from a slaughtered fish to confirm the pigmentation has reached the commercially desirable shade. The SalmoFan has fifteen shades. The farmer picks the target shade based on what the supermarket buyer in the destination country considers appealing. Norwegian salmon, sitting on the ice in a British supermarket, has been colour-graded to match the expectations of a marketing department in Hoddesdon. The fish you're looking at is the colour the company chose. The fish didn't pick it. The krill didn't provide it. The pigment came from a Swiss laboratory. You're eating a paint sample. The paint is fish-flavoured. The fish remembers krill. It has never tasted krill. The krill is in a different part of the supply chain.

@blind_via Most of the engine failures were on the booster after separation.

Even though it had many engine failures along the way. Starship had the thrust and fuel still needed to successfully land on target precisely where it was planned to be. That is what I call over designing for proper margins done correctly right there.
