Genuinely the single worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.

Yeah, the double pack of Kirkland ibuprofen will typically last an entire family a year or more

It helps marginally better than placebo for me. Hence why Americans use it for fairly trivial aches and pains.

I can’t imagine it would do anything for pain I’d consider ‘serious’.

Doesn’t help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there

If it’s all a truly random selection, which I believe it was, then half of all people would cease to exist, leaving half of their gut biomes behind, still alive (albeit briefly). I guess the end result would be the snapped people leaving behind a mist of gross intestinal bacteria which would itself mostly die out without a host. Meaning much more than half of all gut biome bacteria would be killed as a result.

Of course it would make more sense to consider a person and their gut flora as one being, but the joke is about how stupid the initial conception of Thanos’ plan is, not creating an academically rigorous argument.

On the one hand this is creepy as hell

On the other fuck mosquitoes

I don’t necessarily have to update my Arch distribution whenever there are new updates available

Clearly, op agrees

Is it? Only pure water will actually freeze at 0c. Rain, puddles, lakes, etc aren’t all that pure… And we’re talking about ambient air temps here. The air can be below freezing and it can still rain. And you can get snow/hail above freezing…

Knowing the freezing point is just one factor. Knowing it’s generally around 30F is pretty much always close enough (not that remembering 32 is actually very difficult)

Edit: also water only freezes at 0c if it’s at sea level… I really don’t think 0°=freezing is the huge advantage that celcius stans think it is.

I can’t spell it properly without autocorrect

This is genuinely the most inconvenient thing about Fahrenheit

In point of fact Americans have gotten impressive results out of far more complicated metrics than metric. It’s not a matter of understanding, it’s a matter of pride. And of not having to buy all new tools.

Which is the closest thing to a legitimate criticism of celcius that exists. The entire top half of the scale (everything over ~50°, that is) is pretty much useless as far as judging the weather is concerned.

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t actually Fahrenheit’s intention, more a happy accident. Also if your body temp is 100°F then you’re running a mild/moderate fever.

As is typically responded to this ‘response’: there are a large number of people-many European-who would unironically say that 50°F (10°C) is, in fact, the ideal temperature.

They’re wrong, of course, but they exist.

But you’re also assuming that the exact middle of the range is where the ideal sweet spot should be. That’s wrong. People generally can better handle larger temperature deviations that are colder than their ideal than hotter deviations.

Yeah, but it hits different. Smaller number is smaller.

That’s why I use Kelvin. THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DEGREES?!!

The reason they don’t want you using your own WiFi access point is probably because dorms are prone to over congestion if everyone sets up their own WiFi network.

If you wanted to fuck with them-and you don’t mind spending money-then you could set up your WiFi and get internet via mobile carrier or starlink, so that you never actually have to agree to their terms. Then when/if someone comes around to bitch at you you can watch them slowly come to the conclusion that they’ve got nothing on you.

Otherwise your options are to follow the rules to the letter and live without vr streaming, or accept that you might get in trouble. Some WiFi routers can be configured to not advertise their network; annoying because you’ll have to manually enter the network information on every device, but it might keep you from getting caught.

As for connecting multiple devices without paying; there’s probably some creative ways to tunnel all your traffic through a single device to get around that. Could still get you in trouble if you’re caught.

If you’re doing anything that could get you in trouble with the school make sure you save the email in which they told you using your own router is allowed.

TIL Tesla has a factory (factories?) In Germany. My mistake.

Well they’re made here so it stands to reason they’d be a bit cheaper. No clue about the corolla tho

Near all apartments around me have exclusively open-air parking, so this isn’t a viable solution for many. It’s not that the available power is inadequate, it’s non-existent.
