funkless,

my infitives split 😢

funkless,

uk we say “cross legged” or “cross leggéd” if you’re feeling Shakespearean

funkless,

I’ve never played D&D ever but the only draw for me would be being a DM. maybe I just don’t know enough about it.

funkless,

I mean the other names make sense with additional context

Both Tit- and Cock- as prefixes used to mean small (no laughing in the back, please)

And Hoary means grey-haired or old-looking

edit as I had to look this one up: “Booby” is an ellision of “Bobo” - as in “No seas tan bobo” (Spanish) - meaning “silly, naive, dumb…” as they tend to be quite tame birds

funkless,

From writing a single song that 90% of people love and then immediately retiring

What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?

I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or...

funkless,

What’s the difference between emocore, metal core, hard-core , speedcore and death jazz?

People like to pick their own labels.

funkless,

i do fairly often. just because you personally don’t need to print stuff doesn’t mean no one has to.

funkless,

We did a year of unlimited time off. I took 2x1-week and 1x2 week and a few days here and there.

At the end of the year they announced no time off except Christmas and Thanksgiving days during Nov thru Jan and you can’t take more than a week off at the time.

They couple this with a company wide raise but if they don’t change the policy after the moratorium ends in January I think I’d rather earn less and have more time off.

Having lived and worked in both the UK and US, yes I pay roughly 4% less “tax” in the US.

but, as I didn’t have to pay for Healthcare, and my student loans payments were a percentage of my earnings — vs the amount I’ve had to pay for Healthcare, copay, scripts, etc here. If we actually compare like for like and assume that Healthcare payments are only not called a tax out of a semantic convention for political reasons despite being practically a tax by nearly any definition - I’ve pay way more in “”““tax””“” in the US.

Assuming the average person earns roughly $65k, would you pay an extra $200 for 100% fully covered, fully comprehensive, $0 co-pay, you walk in (to your nearest hospital, no need to check if they’re in network) get an x-ray, a blood test, your appendix removed, stay over night, go back the next day for kidney dialysis or chemotherapy and pay nothing more than that monthly extra $200/rate in perpetuity? Especially as the average cost is $456 (+ co pay) for Healthcare and that usually isn’t a “good” let alone the “best” package.

funkless,

I strongly disagree that there are less distractions in the office.

I live on the east coast but my company is on the west coast, occasionally I fly out and work there and often the first hour, maybe 90 mins of the day is coffee run, breakfast, water cooler chat, stand up, more chit chat, second coffee run, someone comes over to chat, general melee as people muck around, someone makes a loud joke, hour lunch break, late.coming back. afternoon coffee run… it’s just chaos

funkless,

fun fact: you can drink spicy water (seltzer). And it counts

funkless,

SFDC itself is written in Java but uses Javascript-esque APEX for whitelabel development?

funkless,

6! hours? An entire month?

funkless,

…until there are no cars without DLC

“I’ll just buy a used car”

They’ll just find a way to add DLC to used cars once all the new cars are fully monetized

funkless,

it’ll become its own capsule of meaning. Like how a shrug can mean anything in context. Just sending a Donny Mug whenever something excretious happens

funkless,

I imagine everyone in the space except elon is thinking about the positive benefits and Elon is thinking about a giant spinning dollar sign while Baby Elephant Walk plays on repeat.

funkless,

460,000 children go missing each year in the USA.

funkless,

in that case crafty is probably more vital to a movie happening than the DP.

What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre?

The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.

funkless,

My advice is to watch it up until they conclude the Ouroborous / OurRobOrRoss thing, and consider that the end (S7E3 I think).

funkless,

I was looking for this. every single time I type something on my phone I wish I had a blackberry still

funkless,

I used a site that let’s you follow the same accounts on Masto as you did on Twitter.

funkless,

realllll fucking funny to use the words “ontological” and “real” next to each other

funkless,

if it’s baked into the browser - then that’s all sites

pretty funny though that maybe all those people in the 80s / early 90s were right - the internet is just a passing fad, but only because they ruined it with ads.

funkless,

as a Brit in the us I’ve come to understand its all nostalgia.

I would absolutely demolish a Wimpy for nostalgia’s sake back home, despite it being mid fast food

funkless,

source? even before WFH, even before the internet it’s just common sense that if I need something from the Phillippines office or the London office or the California office while I’m in New York it’s much more efficient to call them than it is for me to get on a plane and go there.

funkless,

well my hope is it pushes investment back.into leisure and third space usage, to encourage people back into cities for fun reasons rather than just to operate a keyboard which I can do from anywhere

funkless,

hashtag-not-an-engineer-but The vast majority of products you can just pull the LED. Don’t resolder, just pull it out. If it goes badly, you can either just put it back, or replace with a "non-LE-"diode of the same spec.

funkless,

Part of it is they are mixed in professional environments (studios) for professional environments (cinema).

Part of it is they can't mix for someone with a 10 year old tv using its built in speakers in a shared living room with street noise, 15 feet from the sofa and a brand new TV through a sound bar in a rural mansion 8 feet from the sofa, and someone using airpods over Bluetooth.

Plus people tend to listen to things at a volume similar to conversational level, but in a cinema you listen to things at a volume that would be considered impolite to your neighbors if you did it in an apartment block.

Finally, sound engineers are artists and dynamics (louder and quieter parts) are part of their craft. Actors are artists and their vocal performances also have dynamics.

A question to ask yourself is have you considered more actively participating in the sound delivery methods of your media? I'm not here to say "all people are watching TV wrong!" but I would ask if most people have even thought carefully about their sound delivery choices, their own EQ settings in their TV, how well tuned their environment is for active listening, and if they just need to turn their volume up?

I appreciate not everyone can blaze the sound on max — but if you do have to sacrifice some volume, maybe part of that tradeoff is clarity of dialogue?

funkless,

The fax machine actually had a massive impact on society and is much older than you think (newer than the telegram, older than the telephone, and in use during Abraham Lincolns life time).

Just because it’s usefulness had declined in the prior 10 years to him making that statement, doesn’t mean it didn’t affect the economy.

In the year 2100 or 2200 the internet as we know it may have been superceded by methodologies we can’t even comprehend right now.

funkless,

people found information for hundreds of years before reddit and will for hundreds of years after.

funkless,

yeah, it's for buying secret Christmas presents for your wife
