What's a movie you enjoyed so much in theaters you saw it multiple times there?
  • Odd, Superbad is the only movie I've ever seen twice (or more) in the theaters.

    I saw it and thought it was the funniest movie I'd ever seen, then a couple weeks later my buddy wanted to see a movie so I saw it a second time with him. No regrets.

    Did we kill Linux's killer feature?
  • What?! No! How could this have been Linux's "killer feature"?

    Am I taking crazy pills? It really matters to you that you can use a single command to upgrade your system?

    Unacademy Teacher Fired for telling students to 'Vote for Educated Leaders' Remark during lecture.
  • What's more concerning is when a society is populated by people who have take the most facile understanding of a position, and then go about confidently as if they understand it. Like, say, if a news article has a rage porn headline and then people don't read it to understand what actually was going on but make comments on websites as if there was no nuance to the subject whatsoever. ... Very concerning.

    Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW
  • Dude I fucking hate those Linux ubernerds, and think that "looks shitty" is almost a Hallmark of your classic Linux application, but... you have no idea what you're talking about. (...Also I don't think you know what a "kernel" is.)

    "40 year head start" is one hell of a fallacy. As if MS and Apple from 1983 are meaningfully related (in this sense) to what they are and do now.

    The fundamental difference, anyway, is cross-platform compatibility. What percent of Linux users even use desktop office suites and shit like that? The desktop world has been moving to the browser for 15+ years and both Chrome and Firefox are practically identical on every OS.

    Linux has a long way to go, but the stuff you were listing is madness.

    Why do bees/pollinators pollinate other plants?
  • Ha I was writing another comment on this thread when this got posted, but I just feel like it's important, relevant to that, to say that the hairs didn't evolve FOR any specific purpose.

    Why do bees/pollinators pollinate other plants?
  • This is funny, and really speaks to a fundamental issue we have during education as to assigning agency for what amount to"random" events.

    OP is presumably educated and intelligent, and the takeaway they had was that bees "are pollinators" which is true with regard to our interest in them, but definitely implies agency that they are intentionally pollinating, which (I am pretty sure) isn't true.

    It feels like the same question that gets asked in a million different ways of "why did XYZ evolve that way when ABCD?" (Because evolution is random and tends toward selecting for energy conservation. Not to "achieve" some specific goal.)

    “We just lost 3TB of data on a SanDisk Extreme SSD” - The Verge
  • What the fuck are all these comments?

    It's an article about an unresolved and recurring problem with a popular drive that the ostensibly reputable manufacturer is trying to hide.

    But 90% of the comments are people jerking themselves off about how smart they are for using RAID, which is irrelevant to the point of the article... But never miss an opportunity to pleasure yourself in public I guess?

  • I don't know why, but this big complex pipe structure was situated above the urinal. When you flush, the red light goes off and the green light goes on, and all the pressure dials start going crazy.
