Sure but did you ask Jeeves? Did you check the dog pile? What did lycos say?

If you have a contributor you trust, transfer control to them. If not, last one out gets the lights.

Your safe is NOT secure! Inside it are papers that have all sorts of personal identification — taxes, deeds, identification. Anyone who gets into your safe, like police or hackers, can learn everything about you!

If you want to be private, you must burn them.

Oh Sharon. If you are going to count the minutes early I leave, I’m going to count the minutes late I leave, and I promise you I will cash them in at the least opportune moment.

I’ve contributed a bit to owncast, and I think this is the right answer. It’s what fedi tv uses: https://theindiebeat.fm/

Depending on what you mean by “this,” it kinda is, but you only get a vote by doing the work, and posting is generating work, not doing work.

Just start a new community if you don’t like the mods. It’s super easy, and if you’re attached to a particular name, usually you can get the same name on a different instance.

It happened quite frequently, for instance when constructing the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago. Somehow it’s always easiest to demolish vibrant black neighborhoods.

You and I, I suspect, agree here. I prefer 2; you prefer 5. But what matters about weights and measures is communication with other humans and everyone has decided to use a 10 based system and what matters is not your personal preference but interoperability. Mebibytes might be better than megabytes but you use megabytes in your documentation because that’s what everyone else uses.

Yeah. You hear a lot more UK commentators call it the 18 yard box than the 16 meter box.

I dunno, a half cup is 8 tablespoons, quarter cup is 4 tablespoons, an eighth cup is 2 tablespoons. A half liter is 5 deciliters, a quarter liter is 2.5 deciliters, an eighth liter is 1.25 deciliters. In cooking I’m much more likely to use binary arrangements than decimal, and the fact that metric users would use ml or cl instead of deciliters makes me think that ten isn’t really the magic number it’s cracked up to be.

How hard is it to get your American colleagues to use metric as well?

Yep. Old hands in the field, not students in the academy.

Factors of 10 are overrated. Mebibtyes are objectively a better measure than megabytes.

We joke, but the metric conversion act of 1975 means that most Americans are more familiar with metric than we care to admit. It’s on most everything. Mostly, it’s the professional class — engineers who don’t want to learn to visually estimate in liters/second rather than gallons/second — who have resisted switching over, rather than Joe and Jane American.

There are many guides but this is my guide

Step 1: buy the GMs guide for a ttrpg

Step 2: write a fun premise for a campaign

Step 3: do a little light planning

Step 4: post that you’re lfg

Step 5: play the campaign

Step 6: forget you’re supposed to be playing a ttrpg because you just hang out with your new friends all the time
