What?
- Comment on To refer casually to briefs-style men's underwear, is it Tidy Whities or Tighty Whities? 1 day ago:
“tidy” doesn’t make sense.
They’re literally tight.
- Comment on Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate? 3 days ago:
Bullets don’t have points, typically. But they travel quickly enough that it doesn’t matter.
- Comment on [Looking for advice] Searching for a small slim twistable connector 5 days ago:
Yeah, older printers’ extruders had some trouble with TPU, but TPU use similar temperature ranges to PLA.
It’s worth a shot, at least.
- Comment on [Looking for advice] Searching for a small slim twistable connector 5 days ago:
If you know anybody who 3D prints, that may offer a solution.
I’ve printed custom wire reinforcements in TPU. They are very flexible, and they will take the strain off the wire itself.
Any crimped or soldered joint is going to be a weak point. So if you can’t find something strong enough? Make it!
If you don’t know anyone who has one, you could check thingiverse.com and printables.com for a model that meets your needs, and there are plenty of print services who will make them for you.

- Comment on Will I become a bad person in a year? 1 week ago:
That has nothing to do with the question of being a bad person.
- Comment on Will I become a bad person in a year? 1 week ago:
How you treat each other is what makes you good or bad.
Time is a human construct. Numbers are just for measuring things. And the older you get, the less important many numbers are.
Be a good person and you won’t be bad.

I know two things to be true:

Russia started the war.
-
Your coworker is an idiot.

- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 4 weeks ago:
It takes time to get used to it, no pun intended. Everything is easier with practice.
Those of us who grew up with analog clocks can read them at a glance. If you are new to them, it’ll probably take you a few months (or more) of daily use before you can tell time at a glance.

By “Silicon Valley” I assume they mean the racist bastards running many big tech companies?
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I do not disagree, though I’m curious on your take of .COM since that has always had the same issue.
- Comment on Can you get shadowbanned on Lemmy? 5 weeks ago:
It seems you misunderstand the nature of the term “federation issue.”
- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 1 month ago:
Yes.
Also, assume spherical potatoes.
- Comment on Couldn't big-tech shut out non-monopoly laws by saying that it's meant to be like that on "their" product? 1 month ago:
Not everyone subscribes to “numbers go up lol” as the only indicator of success.
- Comment on Couldn't big-tech shut out non-monopoly laws by saying that it's meant to be like that on "their" product? 1 month ago:
It’s only “failing” if you take a corporatist, America-centric view.

Yes. It’s called a stone tablet.

- Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" 2 months ago:
It’s not about lying down, it’s about de-escalating.
That can be a touchy subject, so a little bit of humility helps prevent hurt feelings.
- Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" 2 months ago:
Yeah, this exactly. She has context in mind that she didn’t communicate with you. She may not realize you don’t know her context.
Best thing is to say something like, “I’m sorry for saying the thing you said was sexist. I’ll try to avoid making sexist remarks. But I’m not sure what was sexist about it, and I want to learn why so that I don’t do it again.”
Whether or not you think you owe her an apology, starting like that may help prevent her from getting defensive. That way, you can have a clearer conversation about it.
Whether or not it was actually sexist, she clearly had a reason for believing it was. And, agree or not, the reason is real to her.
- Comment on Why is it called eating ass if you don't actually eat it? 2 months ago:
Because “sucking ass” already means something else.
