Makes me think of this video

The Unipörs is kind of an odd one but at least it's invisible under a jacket

As some of the other commenters say, one of covid's trademark symptoms is loss of smell and the comment curves coincide with the outbreaks.

Also: beating the potatoes with an electric mixer because you're too lazy to mash them will produce a glue-like consistency. Don't do that.

I actually encoutered this the other day.

Me: "Yeah I need reliability for work and sometimes I just don't have time to repair stuff. Last time I was on rolling release some update fucked my system right before an important deadline"

Other person: "It wOn'T bReAk If YoU UndErStANd iT"

Anyway stable is awesome

Even the post title. Good job I hate you

To me what stands out is not the fact that men speak up more than women do, but that women get ignored/dismissed when they do speak. I make an effort to:

• Give them attention
• Understand their point of view
• Engage in their point of view
• Not let others (men) interrupt and if they do, quickly get back to the core discussion until the speaker is satisfied/has said everything they wanted to say

Basically give your attention not to the loudest ones, but the ones that deserve it. Things like these make all people who usually don't engage in discussions more likely to engage in the future.

Learning some functional programming. It really influenced the way I think about code and make coding decisions.

Hah. That reminds me of the time when I was a kid we went to a Chinese restaurant. We were from a rural area and visiting a city, so this did not happen too often. We get the menues, decide on what to order etc etc. The waitress comes over, takes our orders and recites them while writing them down. Thing is she has a really heavy accent and recites "fried shrimp with rice" as "flied slimp with lice".

My stepfather is trying to keep a straight face but just can't hold it in. He's squirming, red-faced, and tries to hide behind his menu while the waitress keeps reciting the orders. He then excuses himself to the restroom and you can hear him giggle all the way there, then full-out laugh in the echoes of the tile walls.

It doesn't end there though. During dinner we start discussing where to buy chopsticks (we'd never seen them in stores and internet shopping wasn't a thing yet) so when the waitress comes around to ask how we like the food my stepfather (still trying to keep the giggles in) asks where to buy them. He then blurts out "can I buy these?", waving the sticks in his hand.

"You want to buy the sticks??????" The look on her face was priceless. Utter shock and disbelief. But sure enough, they gave us a pair each when paying the note.

Holy mother of cringe I'm still embarrassed over this event.

OUTER WILDS.

It's a fantastic exploration game if you go in blind and I wish I could forget it all and explore it all again.

Ugh, I hate this. At a time when many are searching the internet for guides, they're injecting the search results with "It's better if you keep Windows. But if you really, really want to, you can go through the COMPLICATED process of installing Linux BARE METAL 😱"

I switched to Linux when the "We've scheduled your free update to Windows 10!"-like popup started appearing again and again on my Win7 machine even though I disabled it. I didn't like not having a choice and they only got worse from there. Meanwhile, you have full control over every part of a Linux system. You can even uninstall the update manager if you feel like it.
