  Well, it was goddamn beautiful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Necromancers imply the existence of Necrowomanizers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently there was not much distinguishing ‘man’ between men and women until after 1000AD, at least from the Germanic perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elevators might just be Teleporters in disguise⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Vertical teleporters then 🙃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨feeley feels⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quantitatititative I always do a double check.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We all sleep alone soundly; Maybe the key to a happy marriage is separate beds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also need to sleep alone. Everyone is different. My wife stirs so much that it’s better to sleep in separate beds and have ehmmm surprise night visits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s the little things⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We need xkcd to explain what would happen on a large scale if water was like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s the little things⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a lot less cleaning in the house as it would just evaporate in less than a minute?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you’ve got a nice bunch, 12-13 years old can be hit and miss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What age group? Because young teenagers are not always going to play ball. Speaking as a teacher who has seen 5 teachers leave my school ‘for reasons’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In natural languages¹, the word 'and' can be used to denote the union operation. The confusion over 'and' & 'or' stems from that.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you mean ‘how confusing it is to understand logical programming using the Chinese language’ then sure. But I’m not certain why you’re wrapping up AND from the English language in this. It does not imply union and abstract grammar usage like 与 does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telepathy will be real once we master brain computer interface⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need to be assimilated into technology to achieve telepathy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simcity 3000 Retrospective/Mini Review & Screenshot Walkthrough⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also had lots of fun facts to boot, including statistics about broccoli.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure that Mulan was a great heroine. Also I think you were using the wrong language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It always seems like its time to move to linux⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I kind of did and it took a distro or two… But arch (EndeavourOS) is keeping me on track with all tasks I need to perform at work (one program is wine based, and office is dealt with just fine with libre - I’m a high school teacher by the way) and well … I used the command line to use ghostscript and OCR some documents. This was all right inside Linux by the way, no downloading extra packages. It worked goddamn fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was really worried I’d need to use Foxit Phantom Pdf just to edit a pdf a couple of weeks ago, but libre office draw was very little hassle, with the exception of a bit of shifting of text.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used OnlyOffice thinking ‘Hey, this is a really similar alternative to MSO!’ Then bugs with slide previews and their ordering happened in the middle of presentations and even worse, memory leaks ground my laptop to a halt.

  Libre office still hasn’t crashed and the slide previews are accurate. The interface has always been a bit…unrefined even with the new tabbed layout but I can live with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  PowerPoints suffer from lack of smart objects, and in the case of using Linux, font conversion. But it’s just that we’ve got to persevere with it. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh! Now I understand what that other commenter was talking about by ‘matching of letters to the numbers’ or something along those lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We getcha but that’s romaji which is a transliteration of the syllable sounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How about strokes? 一，二，三 😆

  I get the joke but I assume fastest is the eagle.
