90% of my downvotes are unintentional. The other 10% are for people who use alternating case. I have half a mind to go downvote everything in this boring company community though, just for laughs.

This meme is a lie. The first appearance of Mario was donkey kong in 1981.

Donkey Kong came out in 1981. Mario is 44.

The Babylonian number system was base 12, that’s why there are 24 hours in a day and 60 minutes in an hour. Afaik they had the normal number of fingers, they were just smarter about making their numbering system divisible.

They’re right. Altitude sickness is absolutely real. I live in CT pretty close to sea level. I hiked the flatirons in Boulder and puked my guts out when I came back down.

when I was growing up, it was almost the complete opposite. Raw milk was a “hippy” thing for fringe, counter-culture liberals.
Same with anti vax. Before COVID fear of vaccines was crunchy as fuck.

I agree. But it compicates the situation to the point that “durr just use Linux” is kind of a silly solution in this particular case.

Yeah, this wouldn’t happen on Linux because it’s impossible to install most firmware updates!

I don’t use the app much, but I think it defaults to v5 for the first 5-10 reaponses. I asked how to harvest a castor sack. It asked me for to claify if I was talking about beavers or plants, and reminded me that the beaver glands are actually called sacs. I was like yes, beaver. Maybe that little bit of back and forth was enough to confuse it?

You post made me curious so I asked chatgpt and it actually gave me pretty thorough instructions.

The Japanese were trying to wipe the entire Pacific fleet out with one punch, making it too costly for the Americans to enter the war.
…so they could capture the Philippines unimpeded. That is not “hoping for peace”. That is hoping for an easier war.
Fascism may have some overlaps with the Baathis party
You could say that. It would be more accurate to say the venn diagram of the overlap is a circle. It’s weird that you oppose fighting one and not the other. What is the difference you’re concerned with? Do you just not like the word “fascism”, and are ok with governments that are fascist in all but name?
But it’s pretty distinct from it considering Baathism revolves around pan Arabic unity
More like pan Sunni supremacy. Are you forgetting he gassed an entire region trying to genocide an ethnic minority in his own country? Fascist ideologies all revolve around pan (insert race/nationality here) unity. So, again, what’s the difference?
and socialism
Hussein was about as socialist as the National Socialists I guess.
and you sound like Neville Chamberlain circa 1930’s.
Chamberlain gave the UK time to arm so they didn’t get blitzkrieged into extinction.

They were not legally required to follow Britain, but they absolutely followed Britain anyway
Both King and Opposition Leader Robert James Manion stated their opposition to conscripting troops for overseas service in March 1939. Nonetheless, King had not changed his view of 1923 that Canada would participate in a war by the Empire whether or not the United States did.
It had been clear that Canada would elect to participate in the war before the invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. Four days after the United Kingdom had declared war on 3 September 1939, Parliament was called in special session and both King and Manion stated their support for Canada following Britain, but did not declare war immediately, partly to show that Canada was joining out of her own initiative and was not obligated to go to war.[

I mean, that’s what both the Japanese and the Nazi were hoping for. That the rest of the world would settle for peace and allow them to keep their spoils.
Oh, ok. That must be why the Japanese attacked the US, right? Because they were hoping for peace.
There’s a difference between standing up to literal fascist invading allies, and Bush’s “war on terror”,
Saddam Hussein was just as racist, nationalist, authoritarian, expansionist, and cruel as Benito Mussolini. So what exactly is the difference?
trying to conflate the two is pathetic.
Fuck you
when has appeasing fascist with political discourse ever worked?
You sound like a republican, circa 2003

At that point in history Canada would have followed the British crown wherever it went. If Britain had sided with Hitler Canada would have been an axis power.

Nah. Lend lease was in full swing, and they were sanctioning the imperial Japanese. Hindsight is 20/20, there was a glimmer of hope at the time that the problem could be resolved with political pressure. Putting boots on the ground without trying anything else first is Bush doctrine level bullshit.

- Comment on Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? 1 week ago:
Terminal servers, sccm, SQL, software that’s only available for Windows. Companies and governments don’t consider ideology when they choose a platform. They consider “what do I need to run this product” and “what’s the TCO”. Most larger orgs will have a healthy mix of windows and *nix servers and often a separate team to manage each.

Its time to retire the metric system in favor of something base 12. Base 10 is for children who need to count on their fingers, base 12 is easier to divide into quarters or thirds. Babylon was right.
