Are you American though? Here in the UK, nobody really owns a plunger and they don’t need to, the plumbing is different, it doesn’t clog. Do need to own a toilet brush though, to wipe off the skidmarks, which is more rare in the US.
Those names were chosen because they stereotypically fit these people, like Karen does a Karen. But popular names and connotations change over time. I feel like Stacy is a name befitting of an older person now than originally intended for the memes. I wonder if we’re going to collectively keep these names locked in time, or rename them ever
No chance I’m getting a username this simple on most platforms
Not a car, but I’ve got a bicycle light that does this. Turns on when it’s dark and also when you brake. So definitely possible
Haha, most people here do tech it seems. Well, me too.
People seem to think I’d be good at maths and my entire job is like maths. I’m not and I don’t view it that way. There’s a lot of problem solving and engineering, but I find it very creative and expressive
Oh that makes sense. I didn’t consider it might be treated as a char
"1" + 2 === "12" is not unique to JS (sans the requirement for the third equals sign), it’s a common feature of multiple strongly typed languages. imho it’s fine.
EDIT: I did some testing:
What it works in:
What produces a number, instead of a string:
What it doesn’t work in:
And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk
I was under the impression it wasn’t even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though
On Lemmy you can’t exchange email addresses though… else you’d be exposing the addresses publicly and that’s also rife for spam
Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.
Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.
Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.
Leaf blowers strike me as a very American thing. People do use them here in the UK, but rarely
Watch out I guess, because that opens the Emergency SOS page on my OnePlus phone and, if I have an additional setting toggled, automatically phones emergency services… the phone does not lock
Not sure about all phone models, but at least with mine, if I switch it off then it requires a PIN, rather than biometrics, upon being switched back on. Thus if the police arrive, immediately switching off your phone could be a sensible thing to do
So what’s the deal with GNU? When I first saw it, I was sure the G was silent, or formed a dipthong, like gnat or gnocchi or gnaw or gnarly or gnome or just any word starting with gn in English. But IRL, I’ve only heard it pronounced with a hard G, same with Gnome.
This is why I rarely get on board with new Google products nowadays. I know they’ll get half assed support and then be killed off really quickly.
Sounds alright. I’ve got a phone, computer, TV, job. Might not be focused enough to actually be productive, but I’d rather that than be rushed, unready and unslept
Why? That’s the best time of day for an appointment. I’ve plenty time to actually sleep well, not rush to get ready, not be late, actually be awake when I get there. Well I might still be late
Antarctic ice is actually expanding, despite global warming. Arctic ice is melting, but flatzoids think that’s in the middle of a flat earth.
Time is weird. I’ve changed things up a lot in the past few years and I’m having much more fun. The few years before that seem like nothing. But now time is simultaneously so much faster (I guess more exciting, dragging less), yet so much longer (I guess many more unique memories).
