My buddy called-in Sportchek when they were advertising skis for like $900 but “marked down” to 200! They had to stop that practice as a result of his report.

I would say rainbows because light is refracting/diffracting everywhere so you would have continuous access to sliding but then I don’t want to slide, I want to jump.

Disengage.

The amount of doomer shit you intake is directly proportional to time spent online listening to the opinions of imbeciles.

So basically walk away.

For me personally, until a month ago I had no idea why people would prefer to watch at faster speed.

Then I was assigned 10 hours of training at work, and it was all the worst fucking videos you’ve ever seen, no editing for clarity or brevity, points being repeated ad nausea. Repeating footage. And it’s not like I could skip vast portions of it, I never knew when a little piece of key information would be snuck in which was in the knowledge test.

Finally said to myself fuck this and I put it on 2x. I found it kind of life-changing in that moment and I’m going to consider using faster watch speeds from now on.

Frying is the transference of heat through oil or fat. Air “frying” is just heating.

Actually about 1997-2015

Most of the 90s was renegades and hobbyists. The gravy boat for lazy incompetants didn’t start, really, until the post dot-bomb bubble pop settled around 2003ish

What does this have to do with anything.

Exactly, as hard as it is to swallow for people, there was a time when coding was a cushy job that you could land after drinking through college. Those days are gone, and it’s back to what it was when I was a dev: you made your own way; You made something awesome and you force companies to look at you and say holy fuck let’s get this person they’ve got something going on.

They can’t get a job because they do not possess any skills that are marketable… I hate to break it to you, but going to computer Science school doesn’t make you a coder, and doesn’t make you good at anything.

Was this article written by a grade 4 student

I feel like we are just collectively on the cusp of discovering a new browser and walking away from Firefox.

Just the way we all discovered Firefox back in the day and said fuck any other browser.

It’s my opinion that celery is both delicious and disgusting at the same time.

If you get very deep green celery, it’s horrid.

If you get light green celery, or you peel off the outer deep green fibers, it’s delicious again!

And the young leaves are absolutely sweet and delicious as all get-out.

But yeah I could see why a lot of people dislike it.

I can’t comment on that because I’ve never been out that far but I do live in Winnipeg and we have a large french community … and I can say that I can understand and communicate in French with everybody here.

TIL tech people on Lemmy need to be told how to configure options and settings. Wild this has so many up votes.

Well then take some drugs, as prescribed, because you’re borderline psychotic my friend

I like this mini thread, yeah I agree. It seems like most AI advocates do not understand the difference between graphics and art.

Computers make graphics, and art is the human experience (often) expressed through a visual medium.

I’ll take 10 of whatever you’re smoking because it’s obviously the good shit

Same with Quebecois!

We were taught Parisienne French in school in Canada even in my French Immersion school.

What is spoken in Quebec is so different they’re effectively different languages, outside of academic or linguistic analysis.

I excelled in French as a kid and that’s why I went to immersion school. Imagine my shock when I moved to QC for 4 years in my early 20’s… I could have a great conversation with the dude that literally came from France but neither of us could communicate in either direction with our French co-workers lol
