OfCourseNot

We probably kill insects just by walking, but it’s not reasonable to never move again to avoid that.

There’s this Hindu sect whose adherents wear veils, sweep the floor before them, and/or tread very slowly and carefully to avoid injuring, killing or eating any small insects. As you said, it’s about doing as much as you can, but if it were a competition they’d win for sure.

First, punk is where it’s always been: in the streets, the boroughs, in the young people that are discovering how trashy this world and society are… I’ve been out of the scene for quite a while, but from time to time I do still go to some concert or other events.

Second, Edelweiss is not anti authoritarian, or anti right wing at all, even if it’s meant as a ‘fuck you’ to the nazis. It’s a nationalist song sung by a member of the Austrian military. For context, the Austrian right was divided on this matter, with the Austrian fascist party being staunchly against the Anschluss. Julie Andrews rocks, though.

Thought the same thing. Instant ramen and mac&cheese gotta have more or less the same shelf-life and nutritional value than candies, probably less than a candied apple, even.

[Not a doctor, take with a grain of salt] This is the only reaction I would consider appropriate in that situation. Bees kill lots of people, you don’t know if you’re allergic until one has stung you, and anaphylaxis acts extremely fast, specially in the neck so close to the airways.

I’d say you’re doing alright. When in doubt go to emergencies and let the doctors and medical professionals decide if they send you home, unless you’re in America and this would bankrupt you that is. Better to be safe than sorry, specially with your kids.

Newlines mean nothing in c. You can literally write any program in three lines of c, if you don’t give a crap about readability.

The unit of pressure in the SI is, in fact, the pascal. 100 psi = 689.5 kPa. For whatever reason we use bars for the tyres, tho. My car tyres run at 2.3 bar, which is a nice and easy number to remember not like the equivalent 33.358679678 psi, so ugly and difficult.

It exists! That’s the actual name of the game! I am… uhm… what’s the opposite of ‘terribly disappointed’??

To add to the other commenter, it’s kind of a tale genre in its own right.

And if you are wondering about the word order, that’s called anstrophe. Used to make it sound more old-timey and folk tale-like as in ‘They sailed the ocean wide for years many to lands far and unknown, in search of treasures grand and untold’.

Due to the never-ending sharp rise in the cost of living now it’s a hamster, a bag of sunflower seeds, and a stray cat that’s kinda your friend but clearly looks like it’s gone through some tough shit.

Due to the massive droughts caused by global warming the river is now a tiny stream that dries most of the year and you can just pass walking with your wolf, your goat, and your cabbage.

Lol, imagine being so naive (or dense) you think these two things can exist without each other.

Not quite… I mean depending on what you’re comparing it to. Like if you compare it to a person doing it—breathing, eating, space(home, office…), electricity…—the Ilm is much more efficient. Now a random person that wouldn’t have produced any image, text, song… whatever, that is now generating a hundred of them a day is, indeed, very wasteful and bad for the environment.

For comparison, the co2 emissions from training gpt3 were equivalent to 1250 people’s breathing for a year.

Now about the stealing part, I’m not very fond of ‘intellectual property’ very much myself, nor am I very respectful of it, so I will not discuss it.

Oh no! I can’t unsee it now!

I see people all the time who seem to go overboard

I don’t have an answer to the question, but wanting to point out that ‘overboard’ here is highly subjective. For example, from my (poor person’s) point of view, I would consider five plastic surgeries for a young lad like yourself way overboard.

The other commenter gave you the right answer already. But I meant ‘in practice’ literally, as in, if the sexuality of someone matters to decide your course of action, like flirting with them or introducing a friend, they basically mean the same.

Now if you wanted to get technical, pansexual people are technically bisexual (?). Pansexuality would be a special case of bisexuality in which the attraction is equal across the entire gender spectrum.

But as rarWars said it’s hard to put identity into strict rigid definitions. If you think it too hard this model means that every sexuality is just a special case of bisexuality as well, ace is a special case of pan…

In theory: Bisexuality is attraction to more than one gender, while pansexuality is attraction regardless of gender. For example a bisexual person could be attracted to women and nb people but not to men.

In practice: Mostly synonyms, some years ago ‘pansexual’ was kind of a buzzword to mean ‘inclusive bisexual’ (as in can also be attracted to trans and nb people), but I haven’t met a bi person that wasn’t ‘inclusive’ or that wasn’t attracted to a particular gender like the example above.

Sounds like a good plan, I’d seriously consider a Canarian accent if I could pick mine!

Does someone actually know how to turn this off on android? My work phone does this all the time. It’s a car! I was looking at that map under that modal and trying to listen to the directions you reduced to a whisper thank you very much!!

That’s an excellent question, and like most excellent questions I think the answer is ‘it depends’ but I would bet for ‘yes’.

First, ‘noise’ is a part of the signal we don’t want or we don’t care about. In op’s example they talk about ‘two servers’ one quieter and another louder. The sounds of these sources is the part of the signal we care about so the sound of the louder server isn’t noise in any case. As long as the sound of the quieter server rises above the noise floor and the recording device have the dynamic range to record the sum of the sounds you should be able to ‘measure’ it (as in pointing to differences in the readings when you turn it on and off) and maybe cancel the other server to some extent by processing it.

Now to this point is a yes but ‘it depends’ because while the sound of the louder server isn’t noise it can rise the noise floor depending on the acoustics of the server room. Some server rooms have lots of reverb and echo, specially when they’re not very full, but in my experience most don’t, many put these plastic curtains to contain the AC and they dampen sound reflections pretty effectively. But with bad enough acoustics, a very loud ‘loud server’, and a quite quiet ‘quiet’ one the sound floor could rise over the quieter server sound.

Disclaimer: this is from the top of my head, I’m tired and not a hundred percent sure this is correct. Don’t take any important decisions based in my autistic rambling.
