Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•And what car did you learn in?English
4·8 days agoWhen I was 15 in the 90s, every adult in the family, and adult friends of the family, said “You’re 15? Let’s go drive for an hour or two!” I’m pretty sure that, legally, a parent was supposed to be with me, but I guess any random adult was close enough.
I just added up 14 different vehicles I “learned on,” including an old pickup with “three on the tree”, a Corvette, a 280z turbo, a 68 Chevelle, an International Scout. The rest were boring vehicles. If I remember correctly, 9 were manuals.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing?English
8·2 months agoI’m not sure if you’re aware but when it became apparent that a big event was happening on the morning of Sept 11, the hospitals braced for mass casualties and… waited… and waited… and they never came.
There were only 20 people pulled from the rubble. Six were firefighters, and 5 were police.
Nurses get a lot of well deserved praise. It’s just that in this case there wasn’t an uptick in emergency medical needs.

I’m not eating any food that advertises what it will do to your asshole. We’re adults here, you can just say it’s hot. You don’t have to say “We are very proud of the way our product will absolutely Sept 11th the hole you shit from.” It’s not necessary to bring my asshole into this.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Why does Arch seem to have a cult like following?English
8·4 months agoI wonder if it’s just me or if other people who were around before Ubuntu feel the same way but the reason I hate Ubuntu is that it seemed to take over the Linux world.
A lot of the information about how to do something in Linux was drowned out by how to do it in Ubuntu. When searching for information you have to scroll down in the search results for something that sounds unrelated to Ubuntu.
Ubuntu material was often titled “how to do it in Linux” and you thought you had a good long tutorial until you read a few paragraphs in and realized it was for Ubuntu and wouldn’t work for you for whatever reason.
Even some software that says it’s available on Windows and Linux just means they have a Ubuntu package and if you’re really good there’s a chance you might be able to figure out how to use it on a non Ubuntu system.
It’s like when Ubuntu came out, people just assumed that Linux was Ubuntu. I’ve never used Ubuntu so a lot of the information I’ve came across regarding it has just been in the way of me finding useful information.
Jesus that’s funny

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who are MENSA members, are there benefits? Do you get discounts on anything? I'll never qualify, so I gotta ask.English
3·5 months agoI wouldn’t know. I just passed the mensa test because I’ve always been good with tests, but I don’t think I’m smarter than anybody in terms of brain horsepower.
However, I’m curious about how things work and retain information like crazy. I’ve come to realize not everybody does that. Some people think I’m really smart but it’s more like I have experience or interest that they don’t have in the thing they think I’m smart at.

4·5 months agoI joined 20 years ago out of curiousity if I could pass. I did and paid for a membership for a year because why not, but i never did anything with it and never renewed it.
The one thing I might have liked is the local meetings. Our local chapter had a website where they talked about the meetings. They were informal, just dinner and chatting in a private room at a restaurant, and you could learn a little about the people from the website too. It seemed to be heavy on scientists and engineers. This is near a national labratory so that made sense. I would have liked to have more friends like that, still would. But, for all I know, mensa scientists and engineers might be the worst scientists and engineers. They also appeared to be mostly over 60 and I was 20 at the time.
There are discounts on certain things according to their website https://www.us.mensa.org/shop/benefits-and-services/
I’ve always been curious how the money gets to the charity. Does the corporation put the donations into an account and collect interest on it before they give it to the charity?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the requirements to graduate from college cum laude?
2·5 months agoIt’s going to vary.
My daughter’s high school was 3.95, 4.25 and 4.45 for the three honors. She had a 4.3 GPA and got the middle honor. At the college she’s in now it goes by top percentage and is somehow based on the previous year’s GPA. So, I think, they average everyone’s GPA from the previous grads and you get an honor for being in the top 5 or 10 percent of that number.

Gotta be rotini, it’s ribbed
