Sudoscience* it’s what sysadmins do

It’s because the Scouts (formerly Boy Scouts) started accepting girls in 2019, prompting the name change. However, they are a separate organization from the Girl Scouts so they still exist. But without that context it does sound sexist

Except less than a month before, Wikipedia concluded an RFC (request for comments) discussing this exact issue where 2/3 voted to call it a genocide. He could’ve argued for it here.

The argument primarily stemmed from governments which claimed it was not a genocide, which would also apply to other accepted genocides. He said that academics should not be considered above other sources for deciding to call it a genocide despite it being established policy on Wikipedia that academic sources are held above other sources. So basically going against well established policy which is applied to the rest of Wikipedia in direct conflict with the community consensus.

Wales also is a self described ally of Israel and has received monetary awards from them which presents a conflict of interest. If you’d like to read the whole exchange (or part of it) you can do so here. When people link to pages in the WP namespace (e.g. WP:NPOV) they are referencing established policy

I think it’s more that one delivery is a drop in the bucket while achieving a constant stream of deliveries (e.g. the public puts enough pressure on their respective governments) could meaningfully address the problem

Most plastic can’t be recycled into something usable. Plastic degrades quite a bit with each recycling, leaving a bunch of microplastics behind (same thing with “biodegradable” plastic). It would be better to tax it enough (or ban it) to make it not used in certain applications.

“All colors are beautiful” -> ACAB

I think they’re asking about the government’s refusal to use the money for SNAP they were given in case of a shutdown. I believe it would just be sitting in a bank account somewhere.

Sorry, I don't actually know any, but I guessed the kitchen jokes about pansexual are related to the "pan" part. I then though it feasible there were shopping jokes about bisexuals because of the "bi" (homophone for buy) part.

Would a pansexual be a bisexual who's had enough shopping jokes?

I also just got one, don’t know what was installed on it before as I immediately installed Linux, but I now use that key to toggle fullscreen mode on virtual box. I have to use some Microsoft applications for work so I have a windows VM. If they didn’t shove all this A”I” stuff down your throat and take away your control over your device so that they can spy on you then I’d probably still be using Windows for everything.

The bigotry I agree with is stupid, and the actors are just doing what they’re paid to do, but I really did not like the massive amount personal drama in Discovery. And it feels like it repeats itself constantly because none of the characters learn anything. It feels like a lot of episodes are “let’s watch these characters repeat their previous mistakes then get angry or cry about it when they get the same result as last time”. Also the plot point where all the engines blow up is just stupid and even more of the absurd personal drama.

The last third aren’t necessarily ok with the healthcare situation, it’s just not their top concern. Some of them might be most concerned about being sent to a concentration camp or losing their job (which would affect their ability to afford health care plus a bunch of other stuff).

It should actually be solven't, but they forgot the apostrophe

I'm a PhD student and several of my classmates use computing clusters in their work. These types of computers typically have a lot of CPUs, GPUs, or both. The types of simulations they do are essentially putting a bunch of atoms or molecules in a box and seeing what happens in order to get information which is impossible to obtain experimentally. Simulating beyond a few nanoseconds in a reasonable amount of time is extremely difficult and requires a lot of compute time. However, there are plenty of other uses.

The clusters we have would have dozens of these CPUs or GPUs and users would submit jobs to it which would run simultaneously. AMD CPUs have better performance than Intel and Nvidia GPUs have Cuda, which is incorporated into a lot of the software people use for these.

I've personally never used anything more than a desktop, though I might apply for some time soon because I've got some datasets where certain fits take up to two days each. I don't want to sit around for a month waiting for these to finish

I never really bought a lot of Ubisoft games because of their poor practices and buggy games, but the thing that pushed me over the edge never to buy from them again was with Anno 1404.

They took Anno 1404, made a few tweaks (the largest of which was some higher resolution support iirc), and released it as a new game, Anno 1404 history edition. They then delisted the original game on steam and made the two incompatible for multiplayer.

So if I wanted to play a game I already own with a friend who didn’t own it before they delisted it, I would have to buy the game a second time. It would only be $15 to buy it, but it was a massive “fuck you” to everyone who owned the game

Printers are worth raging against, I could get behind that

I think its funny that you can buy a baby wolf from a trader then when it grows up it tries to kill you. I believe they're going to do something more with it later, but for now you can just buy a box of delayed violence

No mention of the fact that NIST has been on a hiring freeze for about 2 years or the budget crap with Congress. Seems like crippling the government affects their ability to get things done

What if I already have it? Do I get super autism?
