I absolutely fuckin hate this. It's almost the equivalent of YouTube removing the dislike button.

I am leaving this account behind because of this change, which is incredibly frustrating to have to do, since I had many saved posts and I already had been blocking the communities I don't like to see rather than downvoting their posts, so I have to redo all of this on a new instance.

Downvotes are an integral part of a voting system, and are especially critical in low population environments like this. I don't care how many "likes" a post has, what matters is the up/down ratio. Now lemmynsfw has lost that.

“Shocked, disgusted and outraged,” Bechiom alleges that she first ran out of the restaurant but then went back inside to retrieve her guacamole bowl – only to find that her manager and the other co-worker involved in the sexual encounter were vomiting.

Right in front of my salad???

There's a huge part of it that is because there's no communication mechanism to resolve conflict on the road, really.

If you're stuck behind someone going slower than you want to, how can you clearly communicate that?

Even in a world where you could clearly speak to them, there's huge potential for disagreement there, and since the only communication mechanisms can very easily be construed as needlessly dangerous or aggressive, of course you're gonna see frustration and anger as a result

I love the idea of capturing the language for the future, but it's so sad to think of a spoken language dying.

Is there any reason PCs can't just receive HDMI/displayport input from other devices through the same mechanism they output it?

I'm going to be crude here: is there any reason your bladder can't slurp your pee back up from the toilet when you're thirsty?

Can you reverse your monitor to suck in light and behave like a camera?

If you push your car backwards does it suck up CO2 and fill up the gas tank?

Most things in life aren't as bidirectional as we'd like. Video cards use electrical drivers to push signals down the display cables, which is completely different than using what are basically sensors to detect signals coming the other way. It would be quite expensive to design a GPU that does a good job of both, and mostly pointless.

"Sent home for the week" fuckin jackasses. Keep working on it until it's done, these short work schedules for our representatives are dumb as all hell

If the Democrats are worried maybe run a candidate that isn't 100 and make changes that matter. If both parties are right of center there's gonna have to be a new one that's left

Calling it radiation gives the layman an implication that it's dangerous i.e. ionizing radiation. This is electromagnetic radiation, just radio waves.

You don't need iodine, this isn't going to give you radiation sickness, but it is a little surprising.

To be fair to the other side, it's entirely possible (and even common) to have worked in a field for 20 years while learning completely incorrect things about it. Or learning nothing.

People say things like "I've used a computer every day for 20 years, I think I know how it works" and then ask if they should "reboot the hard drive" and then they power cycle the monitor.

Depends massively on where you are. Out in a really rural area, you'll probably get one a year tops. Middle class suburbia, but not a gated community? Probably substantially more, like 1+ a week.

I'm in the suburbs but up a couple of hills so I generally get fewer than 1 a month (that I know of. I have my doorbell disconnected and live with others so it's possible I get more and just don't know about it)
