- Comment on It's depressing, man 2 weeks ago:
The difference is not huge, but that is the definition of median.
Example: There are five kids in the class: Alicia (4’), Beth (4’), Charles (5’), Dan (7’) and Emma (3 miles). The average height of the class is 1060 feet. Are half of the kids taller/shorter than that? Nah. However, the median is Charles’ height, 5 feet. ~Half of the students are above that, and ~half of them are below. If it’s an even number of students, the median is between the two middle ones.
Also, I’m slightly worried about Emma.

Let’s suppose that for some reason it’s completely normal, and it’s just simply speeding toward us.
OP says it’s billions of light years away. Doesn’t that mean that we still have a few billion years?
- Comment on It could just have been a cop's "sniper" with bad trigger discipline and now they try to cover it up with gay bullets or whatever 3 weeks ago:
But at least I do not see it morally as a very big problem that a person explicitly says that something is acceptable and then that thing is done to him
This is why one of my wild theories is that the timing of the shot isn’t coincidental, and since there’s so little time between his answer and the shot, there’s a (negligible, too low, ridiculously small) chance that the shooter was waiting for this particular question (and the answer that follows), suggesting some connection between the person asking and the killer. I am aware how tinfoil hat it sounds, and I don’t think that’s actually the case, but it makes some sense.

While I’ve been playing with variously wild theories myself, as well, I don’t see why a sniper would keep their crosshair right on the person they are trying to protect. However, I’m also not overly educated in snipology to be 100% sure about it.
- Comment on Youngest actor ever 5 weeks ago:
Thanks! My lazy ass brain forgot that shows can also be found on imdb, not just single films. And here I was, thinking I found a glitch.
- Comment on Youngest actor ever 5 weeks ago:
In hindsight it looks pretty obvious - for some reason I didn’t even take a closer look at the imdb page of The Young and the Restless, and I had no idea it was a show. Thanks for the answer!
- Comment on Youngest actor ever 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for cracking the case - I never heard of that title before, and I automatically assumed that would be a standalone film. It makes perfect sense, knowing it’s actually a show. Thanks for the info!

We have a family album with a bunch of photos from my brother’s toddlerhood in ~'83, mostly black and white. Those cameras were still around for a while (not in South Africa, though). Maybe family heirloom, maybe it was just cheaper, or some hobby stuff.

Boring answer: T-Rex has proportionally short arms. It can’t reach the Internet.
Actual answer: They didn’t have a choice in that. They programmed it at gunpoint, held by a T-Rex.

- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 1 month ago:
Even though I’m aware Google would still have a lot of my data even if I deleted everything possible, but one of the main reasons I swapped (apart from the manifest V3 controversy) was the privacy problem (yes, I know, I’m still using Facebook, regardless). I haven’t thought of the container aspect, though - thanks for that.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 1 month ago:
I switched to FF after having enough of Chrome’s shenanigans. I don’t make changes easily, and I took the sacrifice of not being able to receive calls over Facebook (desktop browser, and some of my acquaintances wouldn’t leave FB), and I still preferred Firefox after that.
And now they want to turn it into another Chrome? I could still just use Chrome and have the lost functionality. I mean I won’t, but they will just lose users with that direction.

- Comment on Dirt Man 2 months ago:
This joke would be rather hard to translate to my language because we use the same word for dirt (as in, ‘soil’ - in fact, in certain cases for actual soil, as well) as for Earth. Or ground.
We only have a separate word for the unclean meaning of dirt, or a compound word containing dirt to denote soil.
I can easily imagine this as an actual attempt from a beginner English speaker from home.
