I’m a white guy who went to a wedding in rural India. That attention alone got to be a bit much after a few days.

Also, I would have to be stupidly careful about pretty much everything. Hackers would actually think to target me AND could have an incentive to do so knowing I’ve got money (gained by fraud or blackmail if I’m not careful). In my current life I go to clothing-optional places pretty regularly (not a sex club or anything) and that would pretty much have to stop.

Just let me be rich in a way that nobody knows it, preferably not even my own friends.

the dialogue sounds awful

The dialogue sounds truly, truly awful

the dialogue is unbelievably repetitive

repeat the same lines

🤔

Up until Polis mentioned he’d need to see repentance. Then she suddenly found Jesus and realized she was an itty bit sowwy for what she did

Noel Phillips (primarily an aviation/airline YouTuber) had an episode where he went there! https://youtu.be/KbZ5aqCjiwo

You’re missing out! He basically picks out random technologies and stuff that interests him and explains how they work in an easy to digest way. Even if you’re familiar with the subject he still manages to make it interesting. And he looooves heat pumps and anything remotely related to it.

Alec Watson (Technology Connections) would be disappointed in me

Squeezing (pressurizing) certain gases are basically how air conditioners work. Under pressure, the gases can absorb more heat (think pressure cooker - those get hotter because they raise the boiling point of water with the higher pressure). Shuffle that pressurized gas somewhere else with lower pressure, and it can no longer hold all that heat and needs to release it. Tada: heat has been moved from one location to another.

And the Pope would probably only reference a few specific passages, probably doesn’t even know any others. If President Trump said he loves them all, then CLEARLY he’s read them all!

I think the main difference is that dads will vocalize it at every possible opportunity 😀

Not just songs, but all the other languages showing up in English comes up conversationally too! When you did something wrong, there’s the “mea culpa”. Or in the courts, there are tons of Latin phrases like “nolo contendre”. I’ve had “perritos calientes” (hot dogs, literally hot puppies) in Spain, but never have I had a “giant cheese” (quesadilla) or “little donkey” (burrito) in the states. And we just borrow other phrases as-is like “Je ne sais quoi” and schadenfreude.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?..

Side note, I have this illness (probably mental, but I’ve been told otherwise) where I’m a Dad. This causes me to sing ridiculous things for no reason. Every time I get some markdown croissants for breakfast the next morning and offer one to my wife, I ALWAYS start singing “Voulez-vous would you like a croissant, croissant?”

Hopefully one day they will find a cure

Trying to overcome language barriers, probably.

Vibe coding will do just fine. I understand your concern over your product and its reputation but I don’t really share that with you.

Well, 0 is arbitrary in Celsius and especially Farenheit, so doubling that temperature isn’t really doubling the heat.

Kelvin has its scale actually designed around how heat energy works. 160F is 344K. Double that and you’ve got 688K. Convert that back to stupid-units and you have 779°F

I think I did that right, at least. If nothing else it shows how whacky temperature math can be when doubling units gets wildly different results!

My wife’s cousin gave an opening speech for Bernie Sanders when he was in town. Part of what he said is that the oligarchs want us to not have hope; to be resigned to whatever they want to happen. Maybe this isn’t quite what he meant, but I think there’s something to that line of thinking.

Dummymander dummymander dummymander!

It’s a real thing. If I say it 3 times maybe it’ll happen.

DrunKash was probably one of those sources

I like humans. They’re pretty neat. My friends and family are particularly awesome. The site I’ve used to interact with them (rhymes with Schmacebook) has largely pivoted to content from “people” I’ve never heard of (usually about the same few topics) and yes, AI slop. Even groups where people ask for help will inevitably have people saying “oh, I talked with the clanker about this because clearly you can’t do that and here’s what it said…”

I’ve resisted posting on Reddit, but honestly I feel like Lemmy is sorely missing social posts about people’s day to day in factor of memes and stuff. It has its place, but I’m looking for a mix of things.

That gif could have been easier on all of us if it were just a damn list. Kind of like those reddit posts where a line graph gets turned into a minute-long video with unnecessarily dramatic music when the last frame tells the story just as easily.

A perfect 8/13 (Spoilers for The Good Place)
