“The veals”

I think they’re called calf’s until they leave the abattoir.

Discharge though. Ew.

No, I think you were right the first time, when you said you don’t know what I mean.

You sound like a cunt, and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Don’t talk to people so condescendingly, if you don’t know what I mean, then ask me to clarify, instead of creating a strawman.

Kinda surprising given the knowledge we have that teens even want to use it.

I hope the next generation of teenagers think social media is cringe boomer shit (because now, it basically is).

Great episode.

I’m tempted to believe in reality, some kind of “mutually assured destruction” scenario would occur.

If I was to create a simulation, I would add in a recursive condition wherein the detection of another simulation would crash the system.

But the theme the episode really touched on was whether it was right to tell another the truth about reality. Maybe that reality isn’t another layer up, but that God exists, or maybe not.

Assuming you found out we really were in a simulation, what is the right thing to do? Force everyone to learn the truth? Hide your knowledge of it?

If you thought: “I can tell the people who want to know”, you’ve just created a cult.

Personally, I’m convinced we are not in a simulation. But that’s only assuming the level above us is somewhat similar (a universe that started with a big bang and formed stars and planets and evolution etc).

Think of it this way: an advanced society would need to evolve more than us, meaning more filters to pass before achieving this kind of power. This means unlimited power and unlimited processing power.

I fucking hate that I learned what this means a month ago.

Bought myself a ZigBee coordinator and started pairing some devices.

Sweet! That was easy, now all that’s left are the Tuya ceiling fans

Little did I know, what was about to happen would cost me my sanity.

Honestly, just give me a fucking HP printer and ask me to connect it to my computer from the other side of the world.

And the texture, like a dry snowball?

Most of the American history revolves around how the Japanese treated the Prisoners of War, who were all men.

Ask the Koreans or Chinese what they thought about the Japanese occupation of their countries a hundred years ago.

At the risk of sounding critical of your hobby, to argue the imperfections improve the experience sounds somewhat culty.

I understand there is something akin to “character” which you don’t get from something highly polished. I know when things sound too clean it can feel sterile.

I accept vinyl has a collectors value, but anything claims regarding preference come across as either pretentious or deluded (to me, as someone who probably can’t tell the difference).

Some people say I’m melting like an iceberg. Not me, but someone. And let me tell you folks, nobody has ever melted as fast as me. Others will look at me and say “wow, how do you do that? That’s amazing!”, well, to you it is, but I can melt because I’m cognitively there.

Can you believe this folks, I could literally melt in the middle of New York and nobody would grab a cup.

Poland has unusually gassy citizens

Poor choice of words

Oh boy, I sure can’t wait to never hear about this again.

Yeah it sucks. Of course there are outlying situations where people are obliged to use shit software.

But for those with a choice, just don’t use shit software.

I pay for ProtonVPN, and I still run my traffic through OpenVPN.

Hate to victim blame, but unless you’re going to audit every line of code yourself, don’t use obscure software.

It is objectively wrong to say 14 o’clock, because “o’clock” refers to the orientation of an analogue clock.

Saying “it’s nine in the morning” is redundant in a 24 hour system, because nine would never be anything other than that.

To say 'it’s nine hundred" reduces the ambiguity slightly (because you can’t really say o’clock).

If you simply say “it’s nine” then other people might ask “what’s nine?”

Is it “nine past nine”? Or are you telling me “no” in German?

Nine hundred is pretty clear, but not to our primitive ears

Interesting.

I know people who prefer 24 hour clocks but use am/pm when expressing vocally.

In real life though, when the clock reads 15:00, how do you vocally express that?

Well, you could say “fourteen twenty” too.

But if “fourteen twenty” was a year we would think its “1420”.

Likewise, 1400 is “fourteen hundred” and not “14:00”

Some military standards make a lot of sense, there’s no problem adopting it if it’s clear.

Since using AM and PM are essentially analogue standards, will people eventually stop saying “it’s two o’clock” when they mean “the time is fourteen hundred”?
