Is your abuse of the ellipsis and dashes supposed to be ironic? Isn’t that a LLM tell?

I’m not even sure what the (‘phrase’) construct is even meant to imply, but it’s wild. Your abuse of punctuation in general feels like a machine trying to convince us it’s human or a machine transcribing a human’s stream of consciousness.

It’s been the Microsoft Business plan since practically the beginning.

Don’t get it twisted. I’m not taking the question any more seriously than anyone else in this thread (including you).

The flaw in the logic of your plan didn’t require any serious analysis. If you think it did, then “Thanks for the compliment, I guess.”

No, the question was “How do you [prove that your from the future]?” You laid out a scheme, which you are likely not capable of doing, especially because you missed the bit about the terrifying complexity of that particular proof.

Wiles’ demonstration of Fermat’s simply stated proposition is more than a hundred pages of complex math involving such esoteric concepts as Selmer groups, Hecke algebras, elliptic curves, modular forms, Euler systems and Galois representations. 350 Years Later, Fermat’s Last Theorem Finally Proved

I bought SUSE Linux once upon a time. It was a physical CD and the packaging that I paid for. Maybe a little support was bundled, probably not. That was a time when the internet was slow for most and not an option for others, wifi wasn’t ubiquitous (and if it existed, good luck getting the proper drivers loaded without internet), live distributions weren’t really a thing yet, booting from usb was finicky and unreliable, and the install CDs would have the entire OS and basically all the software you could want to install bundled. These would have been the days before the fall of Napster and the rise in other “Linux ISO sharing tools”. Ubuntu would even mail you like a half dozen physical CDs and some stickers just for asking and promising to share them in your community.

There’s nothing wrong with buying the physical things or paying for support. That’s not what this meme is showing though.

normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Maybe your technique isn’t sufficient and the posted method isn’t as “over the top” as you claim, but fundamental to not loosing buttons.

Drugs alter your perception, not awareness. Mediation and a philosophy class you didn’t take on YouTube will cure you of that confusion.

Key lime juice also makes for a very interesting margarita.

Was that supposed to be coherent or relevant? Are you lost?

If you’re going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I’d say that wherever that number came from, it’s precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let’s just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you’d said 37.7°C I wouldn’t have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).

You’re all probably saying, “Who cares? Why do you care? Aren’t you just being any even more annoying pedant?”

I do. I don’t know. Probably.

But, if you’re going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.

Whenever I’m forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.

Because vector graphics take up much less space. That’s the joke.

Now I’m going to put the joke out of it’s misery.

Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I’ve ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it’s not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.

Thumper (Bambi) is a rabbit.

The crouching guidelines were never about avoiding being stuck, rather about reducing harm if you are incapable of reaching a safer location.

So, given your work history, where do you stand on the Clerks deathstar contractor debate?

Wow, what a dumb and toxic take.

Whoa there. Are you seriously gatekeeping sci-fi? Don’t be a jerk.

Just the MCU characters with an obvious sci-fi backstory: Tony Stark, Hulk (an actual scientist), everyone in Guardians of the Galaxy. Even Thor is actually an alien using Sci-Fi tech. Bucky Barnes is a cybernetic super soldier. There’s the Nazi scientist from Hydra that transferred his consciousness into a computer. Fucking Vision and his love story with Wanda. Black Panther may mix in some mystical drug, but his suit and all the other toys are all science fiction.

I’m not arguing that ANY of these are great science fiction stories, but they are still undeniably science fiction. Sci-fi stories are often also something else: horror, action, humanist, dramatic, comedy, or all of the above.

Not every science fiction story needs to use the obvious sci-fi tropes either. Ursula K Le Guin wrote a bunch of very influencial science fiction stories that you could be forgiven for classifying as fantasy and have very little shiny tech in them.

Hardlinking files to their new destination and your normalized naming schema. Using symlinks would be madness.
