All cheese is made by bacteria who live there, so it’s pretty much a building to them!

So I hereby define every cheese by relationship to a building.

(I’m fun at parties.)

That’s only if the exponent is greater than 1.

Future generations will look at people who think AI/Robots are humans as the gullible useful idiots they are.

In this scenario, alcohol is less bad than soda

If by “scenario” you mean you only want to observe single parameter, then fine, but that’s not really useful.

Alcohol is much worse than soda.

Why would it be “practical” to do it during the conversion?

They could just go to the toilet like normal people (before or after).

I mean, I don’t plan to eat anymore until tomorrow, therefore it’s practical that I shit myself now?

Or…

…or in 30? That’s how it would work for me since I’m a very slow (distracted!) reader.

I get the point, though. Thanks.

The terminally-ill people died of their illness, disappointed.

Some of the non-terminally-ill people got terminally ill, whether from or with the disappointment is yet to be determined.

Maybe I’m more like a bovine when it comes to digesting.

I graze on stuff, then later I will regurgitate it and slowly chew and process it again. (…and sometimes again, etc… until I suddenly realize that I’ve learned something…) The grazing is separate process, and my greed makes it already unpredictable enough. (The thing with Internet meadows is, there’s always another meadow nearby.)

Yeah I have bad attention span but all that means is that even if the article is 5 minute I will be googling every other word and and opening every other link, and THAT’s far more significant than the length of the article.

After all, there’s a reason I did not end up reading the original “14 min article” (which by the way got rated almost an hour by Firefox reader mode, go figure) and went on to post this… :D

How does the estimate help you decide?

I don’t get it. If I’m interested in something, I’m interested in it regardless of the length of an article, right?

I mean, maybe I’m not interested in all of it, but then I can just spend, say, 30 seconds evaluating whether the article is any good and whether it spends a paragraph or two on the very topic I’m curious about. Length of the article does not have much bearing on that, it’s more about whether I know the terms I’m looking for and can spot them. (Of course, massive length may hint I will spend more time sifting through, but peeking at scrollbar is enough to realize that.)

If the thing I’m interested in is buried in a massive wall of text, so what? I can ignore the rest of the article as much as I can ignore the rest of the blog (or the internet…)

The real unpredictable thing for me is always that even if I’m looking for topic X, I might actually need to learn about W first, and often I’m underestimating the relevancy of W and its own depth. So I could spend 1 minute reading about X but still find myself unable to use the knowledge. That’s regardless of whether the knowledge was in a 1h long article or 10 min.

The orange guy is the Kool-Aid Man of Overton’s windows.

I’m always like “i finally got around to playing this new game”, “the graphics is really modern and awesome”… and then it turns out it’s 10 years old.

(To be fair I’m 44 so 10 years is still a baby game to me.)

We already agreed on that rule between us four siblings. We only get presents for kids.

Except that I’m the only one who does not have kids, so for the purposes of this rule I’m considered a kid.

Somehow this room gives me Theme Hospital vibes which I never wanted to admit, hadn’t I seen the real version. (Now I understand why my doctors were always depressed.)

The more I look into the high-res picture, the more mildly bleak details I notice.

• Torn plastic wrapping of tiny plastic bottles on the chipboard counter.
• His sleeve is mildly dirty.
• The shoes on the shelf seem awkward to access over the chair.
• The whiteboard has permanently marked spots “use me to write” and “use me to clean”, both empty.
• That “pizza” is barely an oversized muffin.
• Fire prohibited.
• The mirror is pretty dirty.
• Corner of the steel cabinet is a bit bent.
• The badly attached sheet of paper hanging from the whiteboard; you can’t read anything.
• On the top shelf of the cupboard, something is kinda balancing there.
• Cheap plates not perfectly aligned.
• ROTATE:
  • ROTATE
  • ROTATE
  • ROTATE
• The pedal on the trash bin is weirdly bent.

Not that any of this really matters, though.

Most commenters here don’t appreciate how sad the image really is: the headset is playing some corporate prefabricated Happy Birthday message, starting and ending with “Loving your work.” company motto accompanied with nothingmusic in background.

nit: you mean yaml.safe_load().

In other words, the beak is a “Short Sword of poison +1”?

What do you people expect from Twitter?

I know, the post with whopping 11 likes is extremely important and this whole thread is absolutely not just a rage bait.

Then it wouldn’t be Twitter.

To be fair, it’s a selection bias. People who shut up, shut up.
