To close to possible. The troubleshooting should have been plugging the USB cable in to get the mouse working, and the new problem was her toaster not working a week later.

Ha. Large.

TACO

Awesome, totally sidestepped any processing i had to catch the meaning, but always appreciate a multi layer Linux reference :)

I mean from their perspective, they would call the ‘base’ we use ‘22’. Unless I’m missing the joke in there about a calculator?

Not sure if fruit trees would pass the “use daily” criteria, at least not in the generally acceptable sense.

I have a workshop that was converted from a barn quite a long time before I was born.

Yes, but it can only handle up to two syllable words, 5 the grade level vocab and it only follows the first 3 words of your prompt and fills in the rest with narcissistic mad-libs.

We use base 22

Maybe it’s not a being, maybe you have some generic abnormality that can be exploited somehow. Bonus points if the abnormality is regeneration.

Well, it might be a ‘software design issue’, but it’s really more of a branching point that was made long ago and reflects the world we live in. It could be fixed, but the point is that error messages are often not logged but people tend to act like they must be, and that their vague description of an issue should be enough to track it down like ‘something flashed on my screen last week’.

Hell people can’t even describe useful parts of an error that’s correctly happening…‘it’s not doing ANYTHING!’ can often mean anything from not booting, to the mouse not moving, to ‘it’s working perfectly but icons are snapping into place instead of staying exactly where I’m dragging them’.

Jesus, yeah, rename anything bordering anyplace with teeth and see where that gets us!

Well, ‘proven wrong’ is a bit of a stretch. ‘will soon block screen capture’ doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room, but also isn’t that crazy to read into it that maybe it would block screen capture on the presenters screen… especially if you grant that it might only have control over the teams portion of the screen. I’ve had it black out windows on my own machine even when not presenting.

But further than that, it’s not fair to say everything has to be read only from the most or the least charitable viewpoints. Context is a thing and if you’re even a little bit familiar with the history of software enshittification, it’s reasonable to assume that an uncharitable reading is fair without assuming the app will now melt your computer for spare parts if you try something that is disallowed. ‘As shitty as we can get away with’ might be a good rule of thumb.

Dumbest thing about the entire thing is that naming it the Gulf of ‘anything’ basically highlights the perspective it was named from. Naming it the Gulf of Mexico highlights it in reference to the US, basically intrinsically identifying it as an American gulf, and specifying it as ‘the one near Mexico’. By Trumps logic we should name every gulf that touches the US ‘Gulf of American’. He’s so arrogant that he can’t even see anything past his very first instinct. Like if you said ‘the part of my yard next to Fred’s yard’ and Trump came in and said you should rename it ‘the part of my yard next to my house’….that’s what Fred should call it, and it references Fred as being more important in the equation.

That’s a charitable reading, and likely justified by the article, but based only on the phrasing, it’s just as likely to read that as assuming Microsoft will block all content in order to ensure the safety of sensitive data. Sniff tests have to be adapted when things tend to stink in general, or companies regularly try to cover up their smell.

So what is a first or a 2:1?

What specific phase is it? I know you mention there is ambiguity, but is it something before asking someone on a serious date? Is it after a few dates and deciding if things are serious?

I think all I was saying is that you can’t give advice like ‘don’t pussyfoot around, just answer the question’ when a big part of the topic is ‘what does this question mean?’

That really assumes the person being asked has some idea what the talking phase is. You literally cannot clearly answer a question that doesn’t make sense. Is ‘talking’ a positive thing? An ‘only friends’ reference? Coming back from an argument?

That is arguably worse

Honestly judge, that’s were I had all the evidence that I’m not corrupt and stuff…

But how does that answer OPs question about why is friends upon in Western society? That’s what ‘dawg’ was commenting about.
