  • Are you American though? Here in the UK, nobody really owns a plunger and they don't need to, the plumbing is different, it doesn't clog. Do need to own a toilet brush though, to wipe off the skidmarks, which is more rare in the US.

  • Those names were chosen because they stereotypically fit these people, like Karen does a Karen. But popular names and connotations change over time. I feel like Stacy is a name befitting of an older person now than originally intended for the memes. I wonder if we're going to collectively keep these names locked in time, or rename them ever

  • No chance I'm getting a username this simple on most platforms

  • I'm having fun ☹️

  • These Øs make it read like the subtitles to the intro for Monty Python and the Holy Grail

  • Making grey 0, black the highest and intense red the lowest above 0 is a weird palette choice

  • Spanish, is this Latin America? Because if so, then damn, the movies were correct, even the BSOD has an orange tint to it

  • Not a car, but I've got a bicycle light that does this. Turns on when it's dark and also when you brake. So definitely possible

  • Haha, most people here do tech it seems. Well, me too.

    People seem to think I'd be good at maths and my entire job is like maths. I'm not and I don't view it that way. There's a lot of problem solving and engineering, but I find it very creative and expressive

  • I always see comments like these online, but they seem kind of absurd to me, coming from a country where it's not only totally common to walk dogs off-leash, but completely legal. There's really very few incidents of dogs darting into the streets here, and actually half the ones I've ever seen have been dogs on a lead anyway. A well trained dog doesn't do that.

  • The oddest spelling of "colourize", with both a U and a Z

  • YouTube Music still has this at least

  • Oh that makes sense. I didn't consider it might be treated as a char

  • The whole document is a pretty funny read actually

  • "1" + 2 === "12" is not unique to JS (sans the requirement for the third equals sign), it's a common feature of multiple strongly typed languages. imho it's fine.

    EDIT: I did some testing:

    What it works in:

    • JS
    • TS
    • Java
    • C#
    • C++
    • Kotlin
    • Groovy
    • Scala
    • PowerShell

    What produces a number, instead of a string:

    • PHP
    • SQL
    • Perl
    • VB
    • Lua

    What it doesn't work in:

    • R
    • C
    • Go
    • Swift
    • Rust
    • Python
    • Pascal
    • Ruby
    • Objective C
    • Julia
    • Fortran
    • Ada
    • Dart
    • D
    • Elixir

    And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk

  • I was under the impression it wasn't even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though

  • On Lemmy you can't exchange email addresses though... else you'd be exposing the addresses publicly and that's also rife for spam

  • Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.

    Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I've got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.

    Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.

  • Quiet quitting is actually listed as a subheading on the work-to-rule Wikipedia page I linked, so I guess it's the non-malicious variation of your standard work to rule protest. If you look at the See Also section, there's some interesting related things. I think the Chinese Tang Ping suits exactly what you're saying too
