  idomatically that’s exactly how it’s used - as one would say, “right?” “okay” “eh?” “feel me?” “dig?” “am I right?” “see?” “no?” at the end of a sentence in other epochs/cultures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Student Parking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I checked the journey to the university near me. It’s currently 2pm on a Thursday, using live travel data

  • car: 14 mins
  • bike: 48 mins (route illegal, as you’d have to bike on the shoulder of a 4 lane freeway)
  • public transport: 1h40m, 3 changes, each with a 7 min walk between them
  • on foot: 2h46 mins

  you didn’t go through a major train station in London? there’s usually armed guards there.

  wouldn’t it be a 125–250 mile cable tops?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but your TAM (who you could possibly sell to) is the biggest concentric circle, inside that is the Servicable Addressable Market (who you could feasibly sell to) and your SOM (serviceable obtainable market, who you are actually selling to) and the consumer market is who you were actually selling to.

  It could be that these data centers never become serviceable or obtainable, and this is all just predictions with no actual product making it into a machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's easy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yes. Every now and then a boss o’ mine will make me post to LinkedIn about the company I’m currently working for - so I will write a David Foster Wallace style essay (previous ones include comparing business process automation platforms to different fictional orcs, or what my old mad Scottish housemate making pasta taught me about b2b sales…) until they stop asking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky just verified ICE⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  On one hand I see your point. On t’other, we’ve tried complete neutrality and it failed, maybe it’s time for a communications platform where we hold people to a standard?

  “hey the constitution says you cant!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who's gonna tell him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if he was the person to do that he probably wouldn’t have been the person to put himself in the position he was in. The ruthlessness and amorality is what floated him to the top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah I’ll be like the old nonna who is the only one who can only make the pannetone the traditional way, but I can connect a GPU to the mobo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh no :0⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s part of the narrative of Bioshock Infinite - a guy has a matching mark on his hand to the poster. The cat in the meme is the “Boykisser” who generally represents m4m attraction, but has been repurposed in many ways for other orientations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are no Michelin-starred restaurants in Australia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With money. From [Any given businesses’ - in this case Michelin’s] perspective - tax payer money is as good as any, and the path to get it is through bureaucracy.

  Supporting culinary arts is a reasonable use of arts funding, to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are no Michelin-starred restaurants in Australia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s also a loss leader for Michelin, it costs more to keep the food reviews going than they make for it, so it requires support to run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it may have happened to me. I had a file saved to my documents at work, I go to check on it and it’s got a red X and won’t open.

  I also sync the documents directory to gdrive and because onedrive deleted it, so did gdrive.

  It’s unimportant work stuff though on a work machine so it doesn’t bother me that much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well how else are you going to know I’ve visited if I can’t go “Deutchland… sorry haha still thinking in German…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hotel hell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i understand but also this is reality TV, one of the least respectable journalistic avant gardes that exists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hotel hell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah they were trying to make him into a sex symbol with this.

  it’s a bizarre series as there’s also a highly questionable gadget that Gordo has that tells you how “clean” a room is, that he sticks under the toilet and goes, “it’s over 9000!” in every episode.

  I sincerely doubt it’s more than a flashing light on a stick

  But seriously folks…

  I would pay on the door to avoid exactly this. Im one to dip if the scene isn’t my bag, but I would at least make the effort to turn up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hate it when this happens⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “fondant” is an equivalent, from the French “to melt” its now a noun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hate it when this happens⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From a misspent youth, I can tell you that many people, even straight men, ghost sex parties/moresomes, even with attractive cis women, even after paying a deposit in advance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dang⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, I mean even assuming local manufacturing of the product using only tier 1 suppliers, you’ve got to have a monitored, certificated, unbroken cold chain from manufacture to service, that shit is hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God's Property⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  translation notes I’m guessing

  “that yields seeds” could be “which yields seeds” or “doth yield seeds” or “yielding seeds” or “seed yielding” etc
