Wouldn’t that be ~167%?

You can get around without having to jump curbs, and potholes are also avoidable.

Are you sure you’re not really asking if lying is good or bad? To me that’s an important distinction that should be addressed.

My kids used to believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. I perpetuated those lies because it was fun for everyone, and the boys enjoyed it. Now they’re older and know better, and they understand both sides. They were not hurt or upset.

But if I know my friend’s wife is cheating on him, and I don’t say anything to him, then obviously that’s bad and my friend would be devastated even more to find out I withheld such important information.

We often conflate “not telling lies” with “all lies are bad”, and that’s not always true.

Thank you!

What is the bottom right one in the second panel?

~Also, is it me or are those specific ones telling a story?~

I really needed this laugh today. Thank you!

Slightly pedantic, but according to core-utils GitHub, false.c has not been changed in 21 years. But true.c, which is what false.c is based on, has been changed as recent as 4 months ago.

~I couldn’t resist looking it up, and found the results mildly interesting.~

8” human size? Damn, that’s generous.

All that’s missing is the giant bearded guy exclaiming “Y’er an Ensign, Harry!” Before whisking him off to some far away place to spend his career.

The thing is, we’re not talking about the ____ group. We’re talking about those obnoxious Christians who are ruining it for everyone. If that doesn’t include you, nice. But that doesn’t change anything about that overly vocal minority.

I kind of wish the rapture would go ahead and happen. Us sinners would be much better off in the long run.

It’s suggesting that Vader’s mask caused him to mistake Luke as his son, which would be funny because of the whole plot revolving around Luke being Vader’s kid (and Luke being Leia’s brother — which is even funnier due to the sexual chemistry the two characters originally shared).

TL;DR don’t read too much into it. It’s only a joke.

One can hope! In the meantime, they’re happy to teach this old dog new tricks and that’s a start.

According to my elementary /middle school-aged kids, it seems they are in fact learning the metric system in school. And this is in a red state in the south. 🤷‍♂️

~Check back in a couple of years and I can tell you what they’re doing in high school.~

Burns hotter than the fires of Mustafar. 🔥

A few key points to live by:

1. Not everything needs to be debated
2. Even if you’re right, you can still be wrong
3. Opinions are like assholes: everyone has them, and they usually stink
4. People are allowed to prioritize their own mental health above someone else’s feelings
5. Not everyone will agree with you, and that’s okay

Sometimes the humorous term “nine fives” (55.5555555%) is used to contrast with “five nines” (99.999%),[18][19][20] though this is not an actual goal….

Maybe Microsoft misunderstood the assignment, and thought this was a goal. At their current rate, it’s certainly more achievable than the more traditional “five nines”.

As an aside, I love how the following is preferences as “casual”, and then the author starts arguing semantics:

Similarly, percentages ending in a 5 have conventional names, traditionally the number of nines, then “five”, so 99.95% is “three nines five”, abbreviated 3N5.[13][14] This is casually referred to as “three and a half nines”,[15] but this is incorrect….

Spoon-headed baboon! 🤣

~I need to find a way to work that into my lexicon.~

Be wary that high bitrate 4K media may cause issues with playback buffering.

This could be Jellyfin, AppleTV, or it could be network/storage related (due to needing high speed data transfer).

I second using the Infuse app for playback. It works wonderfully!
