“mem”, which is west-frisian for mum. Other than that I don’t really speak west-frisian, but words like mom/dad/grandma/grandpa all stayed in Frisian. Family also sometimes speaks Frisian to me, but unfortunately I forgot how to speak it at a young age and can only understand it.
Are you me lol? I did exactly the same, and at some point I started computing how many slides I had to make to make anything larger and I pivoted. My dad didn’t know this stuff but I also ended up at gamemaker
I was equally confused initially, but then I looked at the clock in my house and realized that the number up top is the highest number, 12, and not 0. So the first number in the ordering is at the position of the 1 of a normal clock.
What lack of logic? The numbers on the clock are sorted based on the alphabetical order when they’re spelled out in English. Just like with a real clock, the top number is the highest, not the lowest. That seems quite logical to me
I’ve been using Linux with Nvidia for 10 years and it’s been a constant dumpster fire. The Nvidia driver constantly caused issues over these 10 years, especially during updates. Currently I’m having the issue that the entirety of Wayland, including all open programs, crash when I run out of VRAM because the Linux Nvidia drivers cannot fall back on RAM when running out of VRAM. It’s making my gaming experience very frustrating.
Hahaha. I love all the moth posts.
Yup same. And many like it. Good to know that this experience is shared lol. All the stalls will probably either be empty, locked, or have something fucked up in it.
Same here it’s so frustrating. It’s usually when I actually have to pee. Would be cool if I could just wake up to actually go to the bathroom instead of going through this while show. Luckily the brain is at least smart enough to not mix up the dream with reality
I wondered this for a long while, but I’ve realized that I’m in a pretty privileged position. Where I live (the Netherlands) the tap water is not only drinkable, it’s actually almost indistinguishable from mineral water. Certainly for me at least. I’m not much of a traveller, but when I was in Oostende in Belgium I remember the tap water was absolutely vile. It was (or at least tasted like) desalinated seawater. Instead of hydrating and refreshing it tasted stale and salty. If that was the only water I knew I probably would be drinking more refreshing stuff like ice tea or cola all day as well. When I got back to the Netherlands my first glass of tap water tasted like heaven.

I’m Dutch and I’be seem plenty of these over the years. I can’t remember where tho, probably university and maybe highschool. I feel like they’re (or were) quite common
With mapreduce you should generally have your code written in such a way that that cannot happen. Unless the reduce step is improperly programmed.
Yeah that checks out. Now you’re ready for that massively parallel big data (or sandwich?) processing
Finnish? I had something called leipa juusto in Finland and it was a very interesting experience
I’m still looking for my childhood CDs/DVDs that somehow got lost in my parents’ binders and are now possibly lost to time. I love keeping them in the case so I can admire the album art and possibly the booklet before listening
As an asexual person this anology is very confusing
Possible, but at least in my experience most normal people know 1/3rd and understand what it means, but if I’d throw a “point three repeating” at them they’d probably get confused. Fractions are just a tool to communicate stuff more efficiently, good in some scenarios, confusing in others. It would be cool if we could teach everyone the “repeating” syntax as well because it’s another useful tool.
I’m also Dutch so I don’t have the answers about the imperial system haha
In many cases that’s fine, I’ve done so regularly. But when you want to be precise without making it complicated you can just say the fraction as well. But in order to do that you need people to feel comfortable with it, therefore we need to teach kids this from a young age. I’m not saying we always need them, but they’re definitely very useful tools that you want at the ready when you need them. To make quick calculations in your head it’s often way simpler to use the fraction than the real number. And in cases like 1/3rd or 3/7ths it’s a way simpler, accurate and more efficient way to communicate the number than to name the rounded number.
