Governmentia näkee edelleen suomennettavan hallitukseksi myös silloin, kun se se selvästi tarkoittaa valtiovaltaa, siis valtiota ja sen elimiä vallan käyttäjinä. Siis esmes silloin, kun näkökulmassa on sellaista vittuuntuneen hallintoalamaisen jupinaa.

: faulty security measures.

Websites that have tight maximum length restrictions, restrict allowed characters, or require them to be changed often.

Blood donor center where I hand over my ID, and then to make sure it's me, ask me for my address- which is on the ID. If I was a fraud, I'd be able to answer that.

Chewy wanting to make sure I'm the one that placed an order - so they ask me what was in the order. Which a fraudster placing the order would know.

I use as the main OS on my computers, but also use Windows 10 on one.
For the sole reason to download the I buy.
I play the occasional Windows-only game as well, but those I can do without.
I can't do without ebooks.
I really, really wish there was an open standard for getting any ebook, with or without , onto any device without having to rely on a single piece of software from one company.
, do something!

the word "Hope"

... and how some people use it. Like, using it to counter every other negative concept but not actually doing anything to alleviate them. Also, the "You have to have hope."

Also, and very much related. Women called Hope. I dislike operating under generalizations but yeah

Someone comes over to your house, You ask them if you can offer them something to drink. You give them a list of choices. They choose one. They take a sip, and when they leave, their container is almost full.

They come over again. You offer them them a beverage but you don’t include what they wanted last time since they appeared not to like it. Again they take a sip and when they leave, they leave behind an almost full container.

Is it just me, but what the hell?

I really hate shitty opinions disguised as expertise. I’ve been having issues fixing my 3D printer; my attempts to go to Facebook for help always ends up with some cockroach showing up shouting to the heavens to *level the bed* or *check your retraction settings*. Everyone nods and applauds their insight. But it’s bullshit.

This is like going to a mechanic and saying your car has a horrible squealing sound and can’t seem to get any power when you press the accelerator. Check your tire pressure! Have you checked your oil? While both of those things may need attention and could possibly be contributing to the cause, most times, they’re not *the* cause. It’s like help from people who don’t really want to help.

I started thinking all expertise is opinion but that diminishes real experts in legitimate disciplines.

I saw the new Disney movie that totally should have been a Halloween release and while I enjoyed it (it’s fun but not GREAT) and while I am totally pro the WGA getting what they need from the AMPTP, the writer who wrote “stepped foot” into that movie needs to be kicked out of the Union. I will let many idiotic things slide but a professional writer SHOULD know it’s bloody SET goddamn foot. Or simply stepped. Ruined the entire movie ()

: online retailers that, after you have ignored their first email asking you to write a review keep sending you reminders.
If it goes on they are going to get a bad review.

van de dag: Stellingen in kranten die geen stelling zijn.

Die van vandaag: "Het is goed voor de veiligheid dat ..."

Dat is geen stelling. Het is waar, onwaar of nog onduidelijk.

Een stelling is "Ik ben blij met ..."

@berkes Sorry, but you had a of mine in your petpeeve.

No need to use grep if sed can do the same thing:

< /etc/file.sql sed -n 's/foo/bar/; /something/p'

I bought myself a fancy new sonicare toothbrush recently, but honestly the most notable change I’ve seen is how much more frequently I dribble toothpaste onto my shirt and stain it immediately before going to work

:
Talking of “standard deviations below the mean” assumes a Gaussian distribution.
The existence of trends & patterns at a broad range of time scales invalidates that.
Using simplistic probability figures implies an insidious false frame of having a natural static equilibrium.
Antarctica had ice-free shores a few million years ago, because climate is labile. We're pushing it back in that direction and we have no idea how we can survive in that world. aus.social/@timhollo/110773598
