Depending which way you lean, either “Computer Numerical Control” (very precise cutting of material) or “Consensual NonConsent” (rough sex, basically - there are better words for it but not without triggering things).

My wife recently told me about some post she saw online. In this post, a very innocent man discussed his new CNC setup, then was quite surprised by the dichotomous responses he received.

You know, I’ve never actually used emacs, but it was a surprise to learn that all my favorite bash shortcuts came from it.

That makes so much sense. I was trying to think of a hacking thing, like 2600. Roman numerals make at least as much sense. Thanks for helping!

Honestly, not sure I get it.

I sent basically this screenshot to a coworker and he responded “can’t wait for GTA vim, which will enable easier movement and several QOL changes.”

Clearly, with this kind of inaccuracy, one can no longer use a banana for scale.

That’s probably an indicator that you spend too much time on Lemmy.

We’re talking about meat snacks, not my nightly rituals, but the input is appreciated.

Good to know. Perhaps I’ll even mix it with hemlock. Thanks!

I’ll be honest; I was engaging in innuendo regarding the original comment. However, I do appreciate the sincere answer. Does it work with other brands? Outside of my closet, even?

Okay , that’s great, but how do you make biltong?

You may be correct about it being personal; I was just theorizing. I’ve been mini golfing twice but never been on a real golf course so, of the two of us, your theory is certainly the more informed one.

I know nothing of the topic, but my guess would be the owner of a facility where a lot of balls are lost might buy one of these and employ someone to walk around with it, collecting lots of people’s balls. Perhaps even selling their own balls back to them, how emasculating.

Years back I was briefly into creepypastas. One I read was a guy who had a habit of chewing his nails and that people around him always made a big deal about it but he thought they were overreacting. At the end it was revealed that he had long ago chewed away his fingernails and was now chewing through his actual fingers without realizing it. As a result he was institutionalized for his delusions, I think.
This picture makes me think of that. Thanks, I guess.

While the exact words were different, I otherwise had this exact exchange with Gemini.

You brought back an old, old memory of reading a Dave Barry novel about computers. In it, he describes going to a Microsoft convention in which they introduced, IIRC, Windows 95; while describing the taskbar, they apparently touted “no more alt+tab!”

See also any ElectroBOOM video where he travels. Though they’re a very different kind of content.

I used to live near a restaurant called, IIRC, China 88. Do you think it might have been the 87th sequel?
- Comment on Nice place to shop but sometimes gets sticky 1 week ago:
I would guess it might be in Intercourse, PA but definitely not in Blue Ball, PA.
- Comment on Assuming the world is a simulation 1 week ago:
That’s an excellent series by a pretty fun story. There’s an older example that I once read, but at the moment all I can remember is that the spells are calibrated to the exact physical state of the world at the time of casting (like that one xkcd comic). As a result, the protagonist foils enemy spells by doing things like causing worms to shift in the dirt or rocks to fall over.
Though the system doesn’t really hold up to scrutiny, I enjoyed the book. Hopefully someone remembers the premise and can tell me the title.
If you liked Magic 2.0, you would almost certainly enjoy the older YA series WebMage.

… Is this a thing people did? Why?
- Comment on Never gonna loosen them laces 1 week ago:
During the height of their advertising campaign, I bought a pair of Kiziks. I was just recovering from a newly broken ankle at the time and was dealing with limited mobility and strength in that general region.
They’re fine shoes, not amazing but pretty decent; however, I’ve not bought any other kind of shoe since then because they genuinely are super easy to put on and take off without involving my hand, any extra tools like a shoehorn, or really anything other than my foot. I even bought a pair for my wife, who has perfectly functional feet and joints, and she has appreciated their ease of use as well.
This isn’t any kind of paid ad (I wish), just a sincere recommendation for the shoes if you find yourself having trouble getting shoes on and off easily. That said, they are more expensive than most shoehorns and may not last as long.
I really appreciated them at the time because I was constantly taking my shoes off and on for things like X-rays, where I could feasibly have taken a shoehorn, but it would have been slower and perhaps more awkward.
