I have beheld your dragon. You may proceed with the extra abilities of the spell you’re casting

(“Behold” is a new magic the gathering mechanic for anyone rightfully confused by my comment https://draftsim.com/mtg-behold/)

Damn, I’ve never blasphemed that one. I may die and end up in heaven due to my religious upbringing. Can’t have that…

FUCK THE HOLY SPIRIT

So. Funny story. Back when I was incredibly new to Linux, I was trying to move everything from my downloads folder to somewhere else. So I navigated into the downloads directory on the command line and sent something like

“sudo mv /* ~/misc”

when I meant to type

“sudo mv ./* ~/misc”

Yea… That was a fun learning experience and hilarious way to utterly fuck everything on that machine. Luckily it was just an old laptop I’d installed Linux on to mess around and learn, no real damage done

Pure water isn’t a good conductor, it needs other stuff mixed in to be a good conductor. Not sure why they deleted their comment. They weren’t the one being pedantic, they were complaining that other people in this thread had no sense of humor for calling out the mistake in the original pic.

I’m a filthy degenerate so that’s probably true

I’ve noticed that the nerd meme communities here are just as, if not more, pedantic than the ones on reddit

Edit: oh yea that’s also literally the first thing I thought when I read the post, whoops, I’m also a pedantic nerd, I just didn’t bother commenting it

What’s wrong with the karman line?

I mean, I agree with you, I’d never pay for a Matlab license for myself if I ever decide to go the private engineering consultant route. Just sharing my experience that yes, it’s used in the professional world.

I’ve had more than one job where Matlab was used extensively, guess my coworkers and I aren’t real engineers.

I’d rather use something else, but if it’s what the group already uses, fine, I’ll do it

Also, I don’t do a ton of true programming on it. It’s a fancy calculator, and occasionally I make a GUI app with it

I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd

Edit: I wouldn’t call Matlab my favorite though… But yes I use it. I mean, I’m on Lemmy… Like loads of users here, I like FOSS. So I’d say python is probably my favorite

Lol tell that to the $1500 ambulance bill I got from when they drove me 3 miles in Baltimore to a hospital

Oh and the dude I knew in Baltimore that ran his own private ambulance service. Yea, they’re not all funded through local gov and run by firefighters

But why the bizarre spacing on the commas…

Let make man people puns

Idk what I’m saying I just wanted to rearrange them alphabetically

I’ve literally never heard anyone call it A.P.P. (and I mean that literally literally, not figuratively literally)

Is this a specific cultural thing? A generational thing? Geography based slang? Why would anyone do this.

I just got back from a doc visit for a shoulder injury. They told me “yea sometimes muscular guys like you fool us and we miss a tear because their delts are overcompensating”

All I heard was “you’re muscular”, going to be riding that high for a bit. Luckily no rotator cuff tear, probably just a bad sprain, will be back to bench press soon enough

1. go to Norway
2. do crime
3. ???
4. profit

How is it worse on the battery than wired chargers? I’m guessing heat?

I just googled “how to lick a drill press” and sadly the AI response is that I shouldn’t do it because it’s dangerous. Keep trying!

Edit: lick not kick… But kicking is probably dangerous too

I was taught this for panic attacks, except it’s hard to remember what to do when in the midst of a panic attack. Then I’d just get a bit distracted trying to remember which sense came next, mission failed successfully?

This was in January of 2023, right when chat gpt was becoming popular. So it’s possible, but I think it was just a crappy therapist, it was free through my employee benefits. ~6 sessions per year were free, I never used any more, found a real therapist.
