I did a bit of maths at school and I know 218>215, and 53>47.
That is what I call a minority in both places. If all D get together and say “no”, and all R get together and say “yes”, then where a simple majority is required it’ll be an R victory. Any D victory will need some Rs to either swing (and likely get fired), or abstain. Of course if a 2/3 majority is needed for something then R will need some D support to get it through.
Do people still use google? I haven’t touched it for yonks now. Except GRIS, that still works well.
Software engineer in the UK, currently 9 months into making a big fat zero cos nobody’s recruiting, and those that are have stupidly inaccessible offices in city centres.
To be fair to them though, they did just get comprehensively voted out from everywhere. They don’t have a single majority to make any difference to anything. If I were them I’d be sitting back with a large bowl of popcorn going “yal’l voted for this, or at least didn’t vote against it, hope you enjoy getting the full force of this orange idiot right in the face”. But from the headlines I’ve read it would appear they’ve had a few things to say about Fart’s latest hot smelly air.
Can’t a 3D printer double as a 2D printer? It’d only have to print one “slice”; you’d replace the heated nozzle with some sort of writing stick, hey presto instant plotter!
***** ****!
So a dollar will only be worth one pence?
R and L are different letters with different pronunciation.
Out of interest, how do you pronounce “differently”? As “diffelently”, or “differentry”?
Why? FAT=File Allocation Table, 32 refers to 32-bit, for which the maximum is 4,294,967,295, hence the 4GB limit.
No, that would only “protect” your strumming hand and would do nothing for the other one. Besides finger/fingernail strumming/plucking/slapping/etc are useful techniques in addition to picking.
Absolutely not. Your fingers will develop the hard skin necessary to play for extended periods. Just trust your body’s ability to adapt and stop when it starts hurting. Using superglue or any other kind of protection only puts off the inevitable, and opens you up to other risks like accidentally supergluing your fingers together.
If you really can’t cope then guitar is not for you.
Music. Way too many albums are that one decent song you hear on the radio and 38 minutes of filler shite, and you could never take it back to the shop to get a refund for being full of shite. So all my music is pirated first, purchased second, and anyone that objects to this is basically admitting that their industry is based on selling shite that can’t be refunded.
Because it’s much easier to get angry about misleading headlines. Comprehension is difficult.
This sounds reasonable, but the logical conclusion of that is that the only people that associate with Nazis are other Nazis, or future Nazis (who may not realise it yet). This normalises nazism in a growing group of people because they don’t have any moderate voices highlighting their more extreme thoughts and pulling them back towards normality.
Your argument also make the false assumption that Nazis are irredeemable. I’m sure some of them are. But I’m equally sure that at least some of them aren’t.
Maybe one approach could be to avoid American wherever possible, but without inconveniencing yourself too much. So for example only buy on Amazon after you’ve tried to find other suppliers first. And yes definitely figure out how American any given product is, check the alternatives and buy the lesser of the available evils.
Popups demanding I join newsletters, engage in chats, review your site, etc. Make that stuff available on the menu and I’ll have no problem with it. Shove it in my face as I’m loading your site and I’ll likely just close it straight away. Some pages are just one popup after another with absolutely no thought given to the UX. The users want your content, not your popups. And what if after using your site for a bit I actually do decide to join the newsletter when the only reference to it is the popup that I already dismissed?
Divs sliding into position as I scroll through the page annoy me intensely. When I see a page doing that I’ll autorepeat PageDown to the end, then go back to the top. What is even more irritating and page-close-worthy is when those divs still insist on sliding into position after they’ve already done that.
Sound effects. Just NO NO NO NO NO. Sound effects are not the answer. Sound effects are the question. The answer is NO. I can see the point of sound effects in a chat, IF AND ONLY IF YOUR PAGE DOESN’T CURRENTLY HAVE FOCUS. But please don’t bleep ping bing and bong every time someone presses Return. And test your sfx on decent speaker systems, not all of use have tinny 1" speakers; I have a decent hifi woofer and some of those bass drops really shake my room and I can only imagine that they were tested on crappy little speakers.
Spamming my screen with ads, obviously. You can have a single static ad that doesn’t bounce around the screen, demand I punch some stupid monkey, vibrate, flash etc. And of course that ad has to be legit. There are still far too many ads that lead to scams and other malware. Stack Exchange is one of the few pages that get on my whitelist because of their advertising policy.
Give new fads time to settle down before you spam your site with the latest whizz bang animation. Yeah sorry that means you aren’t going to be able to play with all the new toys. But your users will thank you. If you must use the latest CSS tricks then use it judiciously on one or two gadgets instead of applying it to “*”.
And of course as you’ve already alluded make sure you use standard user interface gadgets correctly. Checkboxes are checkboxes and radiobuttons are radiobuttons. They are not the same as each other. They are also on/off. If you need tristate or more then you need something else.
Just like they already do in other Muslim-majority countries.
uBlock Origin leading the pack by at least a furlong.
Your requirements appear to be contradictory. You want to kill it, i.e. not see it any more, and you want to stop moderating it, but you don’t want anyone else to moderate it.
So stop moderating it, and block it. It’s not up to you to tell 200,000 people that they can’t continue to have a community; doing so makes you appear to be acting as some kind of landed gentry. Just walk away and don’t look back.
