Yes, thanks

WTF are you on about?

Oh, thanks for that, I read different but here’s the key thing that I think was missing from the analysis I read:

But the concentration of alcohol required for this increases as you get thirstier. If you just drank wine on your desert island, you would initially lose more water than you gain from wine, but as your body became more dehydrated, it would produce more ADH to compensate and you’d eventually reach an equilibrium point.

Just the word syntax? Sure. You teach coding at first by example, not from first principles. At some point, explaining the concepts helps in the teaching but not at first.

That sounds like a level of detail it is not necessarily useful to go into with most people. I never experienced anyone non-technical complaining about cloud products, so it would just be proselytising about what to me is a hobby/passion project.

(Not that I’m big into self hosting, but to the extent I am)

Bullshit!

The threshold for dehydration is about 2% alcohol, so no it won’t

The sequel, salt lassie, left a bad taste in my mouth

Does not project the entire earth.

You can’t do this for all great circles, because sphere geometry is incompatible with plane geometry. Great circles all intersect each other twice, but straight lines intersect at most once on the plane.

There is no map projection that renders all great circles as straight lines.

I always wonder how you can distinguish this from people just being poetic. Beaver means basically the same thing but no-one is proposing people were afraid of summoning them.

I have a chronic but minor health condition that doesn’t come up much and the other day was treated to something like this by none other than the threadiverse’s first. I expected better for some reason.

It’s human nature that some people don’t feel, or don’t feel as acutely. There’s also a cultish aspect to it, where because everything is MAGA Vs democrats, all your friends and identity are likely bound up in the same thing, so admitting you were wrong isn’t just admitting you were wrong: it’s completely changing the way you see yourself and severing many relationships.

Largely because they’re being lied to by a media that doesn’t cover it, or says the other guy is eating babies.

A decent garlic press will allow you to press out the garlic and leave the paper. It’s a unitasker that’s well worth it if you eat a lot of garlic.

Sometimes. Sometimes the last layers are little bastards and want to cling to the garlic.

While your broad point isn’t wrong, it’s good to separate wealth and income.

What rhyme? Only thing I can think that you mean is some things about “attercop” (old word for spider) that Tolkien writes.

I always heard it used for both and it confused me that they were two different things.

At best you can call people who do this as having a very mild form of unconscious bias; you can’t infer bigotry which I would say really ought to be either a consciously-held opinion, or if not then a set of behaviours that has a practical negative outcome.

I think the kind of person you’re thinking of is a stereotypical bigoted jock who hangs out with his jock-friends and makes homophobic jokes all the time. That person we’re maybe not surprised that they are motivated to avoid doing stuff associated with those outside their gender.

But I don’t think (and there’s nothing here to suggest) that it is only that kind of person who is so affected. Do you think that someone respectful of gay people, but who grew up in a conservative family and whose father makes comments like that, might not be motivated along the same lines out of a desire to their father? Or is it bigoted to seek the approval of your dad if your dad is a bigot? Even if it’s not done consciously?
