I disagree that that warning is reasonably clear. Even the comment that included it has the line of thought, where the user, not knowing what terms git uses thinks that they just did an action that is going to change each of their files. It makes sense that they’d want to discard those changes. That user then goes on with some snark about not wanting to learn any more about what they are playing with and that other programs would do the same, but “discard changes” seems like it would have a clear meaning to someone who doesn’t know git.

The warning says it isn’t undoable but also doesn’t clarify that the files themselves are the changes. Should probably have a special case for if someone hits discard changes on a brand new repository with no files ever checked in and hits discard on a large number of files instead of checking them in. Even a “(This deletes all of the local files!)” would make it clear enough to say what the warning is really about.

Well I’d assume Joker was lying and that each boat actually controlled their own bomb to fuck with the ones who didn’t press the button, because who would believe they didn’t press it? It would cause so much more chaos that way (actually max chaos might be to rig both buttons to blow up the prisoners, though I could also see reasons for him to rig up both to blow up the civilians).

I’m not even sure I’d be on the boat in the first place, though it’s easy to say that in hindsight, knowing how things turn out. I’d probably have made every effort to gtfo of Gotham earlier than that if I could.

But for an answer that doesn’t completely sidestep the question, I don’t know. It’s a prisoner’s dilemma and I know the optimal solution is if both sides trust each other, but I’d also have a hard time trusting both the other prisoner as well as the “guards” (in this case Joker) setting up the whole situation, knowing there’s no reason they need to be honest about the outcomes of each choice. Like even in the movie, Joker was going to just blow up at least one of the boats anyways when neither of them pressed the button.

Best bet would probably be to go for a swim.

What about you?

What’s going on in the second one for the strands to diverge like that, though?

Also press on the top of the knife instead of only using the handle. And cut it on an angle so it’s not trying to press down on the whole length at once. And don’t try to pull the blade towards the handle (which is usually the ideal way to cut) if you’re cutting that much cheese because it grips the entire length of the blade and that might have more force than the handle can handle (heh), like in this case.

Lubricating the blade could help, maybe use a nice chili oil to give the edge a bit of a kick.

Yeah, Idiocracy has this basic assumption that people are generally acting in good faith, even the ones with more selfish tendencies. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but didn’t someone else get frozen along with the MC and started out with a “fuck you, I’ll take care of myself however I need to” before later pivoting to a “we need to work together to save the world!”

Just like that Batman scene where the boat full of civilians and the boat full of criminals have the trigger for each others’ bombs. In the real world, I’d bet the guard that was handed the trigger on the prisoner boat would have pressed it almost immediately. And if he didn’t, there would have been a riot on the civilian boat to push it rather than a calm vote that decides against it, followed closely by the same thing on the prisoner boat. And many from both boats would have just bailed into the water rather than trust the other boat to not kill them. Joker would have been completely right in his prediction of how things would go. Especially in a city like Gotham. The catch should have been that the boats had their own trigger instead of each others’.

No disagreeing with the title or you have fragile masculinity!

If you don’t like urinals, don’t use them. If you say something shouldn’t exist when many people prefer to use it over the other options, expect pushback, even if it’s in a humorous context.

The comic feels like a joke here but the title feels like there’s some serious sentiment behind it, even if it doesn’t have any real intent to actually ban urinals.

It didn’t say he gave up. Maybe we all did him dirty in how we interpreted that description.

Running is when all feet leave the ground at some point during the strides, so any animal that runs could have a similar image taken when the front legs finish pushing off the ground and the back legs are in position to start their push.

Except for humans, because we still alternate legs while running and don’t have bodies parallel to the ground that our legs would end up tucked against during part of a run. Though you could still get a picture where we’re entirely airborne if you time it right and it’s a run rather than a fast walk.

Plus the ship’s computer was able to simulate bleeding edge physics and do advanced problem solving. Between holograph emitters and that computer, I’m not sure why they needed mortals running the ships, other than for fun.

If it took more than “safety protocols off” then the federation would have never existed due to earth being assimilated/destroyed by the Borg right around the time they discovered warp flight. And if they waited for after that flight, they could assimilate the passing Vulcans, too, though all they’d have to do is warp with the enterprise after taking that over and someone would have come to give them some ships to get started with.

The big question would have been if the new alpha quadrant Borg faction would have joined the OG Delta faction or would have been a rival.

Though I’m not sure why the Borg adaptive shields didn’t stop the bullets, since they were energy-based rather than ballistic, and wouldn’t have been designed to use phasing to defeat enemy shields.

Reminds me of “goof”, which was used endearingly in my family growing up, like “silly goof”. Later, when my circle overlapped with some wannabe gangsters, I find out some considered it one of the worst insults you could give.

Plus in Geordie’s case, his visor gives him better than normal sight. He can look at parts of the electromagnetic spectrum other than the visible wavelengths, so restoring his natural sight would have been giving him a handicap rather than removing one.

Also the whole “that disability is a part of who they are” sounds a lot like reducing people to their disabilities. Like it’s one thing if there’s nothing that can be done or if the best we can do isn’t enough to cause it to no longer be a disability, then they should be accepted disability and all. But it’s another thing if the disability could be corrected or made redundant (like Geordie’s visor giving him better than normal vision).

I don’t think the timing will work out for me, but if cybernetics get going during my lifetime, I’d consider getting augmentations. A coprocessor and memory expansions would be great, though I’d probably need tin foil hats or a magneto helmet to protect from solar flares and EMPs.

It’s crazy to me that some people think improving people’s capabilities, disabled or not, is unethical. No one bats an eye if someone gets a broken arm set properly to avoid it becoming a disability.

Also has to do with most of their competitors trying to come in immediately with anti-consumer practices or being a company already known for them.

Like as soon as I saw epic was paying game companies for exclusive access, I decided to skip whatever games actually went for it.

I don’t trust a publically traded company to not enshitify by focusing on “more money” rather than setting up a sustainable business.

That’s why I don’t have issues with valve, even if their 30% cut is a bit high. Steam has been dominating its market for like 20 years now and the worst they’ve done that I know of is display some ads for games when you start up. But even that IMO could be used as an example of how to do ads right because a) they are relevant to the thing you’re doing, b) don’t rely on sharing of data between steam and who knows who else (not that I have any certainty there isn’t any data sharing going on), c) the window can just be closed and doesn’t try to fight for your attention. And I can’t even recall seeing it much recently.

Plus I’d say that they provide value by dominating that space and being the standard that any new players need to compete with.

Oh is that why some trees hurt so much?

Or just another reason why a tree might hurt so much?

Are they even trees or just more spiders?

It’s all gravity in the end. Or probably middle but I don’t know why gravity, so that’s as far as I can reduce it.

Everything we see around us is just hydrogen trying to get closer to the middle of the biggest hydrogen party it can find in the general vicinity. And we were all once part of at least one massive party that eventually got a bit out of hand when we all tried to get so close together we bounced off of a neutron star before it collapsed into a black hole.

Hydro?

My cousin had one a few years back and said it was very painful. He didn’t end up needing more than one shot because the bat that got him tested negative, so I’m not sure how many doses it was in total.

Don’t they usually just administer the rabies vaccine anyways just in case? As I understand it, even with the testing they’ll give the first dose because there can be bad effects if they wait for the test results before then.
