Your Name. Yes, I’m basic.

All glory to Hareraiser!
- Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise 6 days ago:
It’s in a unique spot in the 3D space of script quality, time spent refining it, and revenue.

- Comment on It bothers me when cat memes refer to the pictured cat as "he," but I can tell from its coat pattern that it's female. I may know too much about cats. 1 week ago:
See my other comment, the one with the emoji: yes, words like “tomcat” and “bitch” exist, but which is used for the species?

I’m Czech and it’s “ta kočka ♀/ten pes ♂” too.

I’m wondering what ratio of “gendered” languages uses the feminine genus for cats as opposed to dogs, as in “die Katze/der Hund”.

Both young people in the metaverse?
- Comment on You can drive 74 hours and still be in Germany. The American mind can't comprehend this. 2 weeks ago:
Actually, driving without a destination is forbidden in Germany. It’s unenforceable in most cases because it’s easy to claim a fake reason but if you keep circling a roundabout, there is a case to be made against you.

You got me, I never watched it
- Comment on Could you fcking not. 3 weeks ago:
I’m wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).
Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract’s ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there’s going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)

Netflix’s Chernobyl is by people who realized this and kinda conveyed the message.

The ones in the Palladium shopping mall are very similar.

My sister, a dentistry student, got one in a promo event. It glows when you walk by to remind you to brush. Drove me nuts.

Also, it’s cropped to 16:9, hopefully on a per-shot basis at least.

Please elaborate
- Comment on Uber Eats or something idk 4 weeks ago:
I’m sure many rely on it for a good reason. A food delivery company in my country partners with a charity to enable phone orders and free delivery to the elderly.

Judging from the context, allowing one’s chest to be used as a pillow.

Many never find out. And not alwaya because they’re actually the normal ones.

- Comment on The B2 saw its shadow which means another 20 years of war in the middle east 1 month ago:
The result entirely depends on who’s reliving that day until they have its best possible outcome. Watch Edge of Tomorrow for a documentary of how that happens.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 month ago:
Human rights organizations and many high-profile news outlets have reported on this. See citations in the relevant Wikipedia article section. Reuters even has an article with video evidence.
That said, Hamas does this too and their surrender is probably the best we could hope for to further peace talks.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 month ago:
Yeah but Israel is also known to use Palestinian civilians as human shields, such as when crossing a suspected minefield.

If human food is comparable, a healthy diet would probably be more expensive
- Comment on Pdf to odt/docx conversion has me weeping! 1 month ago:
Renumbering characters during font minimization? I haven’t encountered that, it would break searching and copying.
Anyway, PDFs for example don’t even say whether a line of text is left, center or justified – they usually store the coordinates of the first character and then spacing to each subsequent one unless defined by the font.
And what if the document contains text boxes, or other Word objects? Well, the text is separate from the underlying rectangle (if there is one) and it’s up to the conversion tool to guess if it’s part of the main text layer.
Sorry, it’s really hard to edit PDFs. You might want to use Inkscape for editing the graphical parts. If you also need to edit paragraphs, I suggest recreating the document by pasting them into Word/LibreOffice, and importing any graphical shapes as SVGs (use Inkscape for the conversion, then you can try Word’s “Graphic > Convert to Shapes” feature).
Really, every software that uses PDF should treat it as an export format, hopefully making it clearer that “saving as PDF” is a visually lossless but structurally lossy and messy process.
