  • This reminds me of a story with an old high school maths teacher.

    Someone said a number divided by zero was zero and he proceeded to explain why it was not. One of the class jokers went “oh yeah, well my calculator says it’s zero!”. The teachers smiles and says “surely not” and approaches the joker to see what kind of shenanigan he was pulling. And sure as hell he divides five by zero and zero is the result. The teacher, not believing his own eyes, looks at the calculator, then the joker, then the calculator again. The window was open. Figure out the rest yourself.











  • Not only do I don’t mind multiple instances, I welcome it. It’s a feature for me, not a bug. But having to create multiple accounts is a no-no and what keeps people away. People say you only need one but that’s not true if you want to be active in multiple instances.

    If the fediverse had a way to unify account creation, that would be a game changer. It’s pretty much what’s holding the fediverse down, be it Lemmy, Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc. It’s frustrating because without that limitation I could see the corpos being given a run for their money.






  • This is scary, as an European. I had my left lung collapse too. Two years later my right one. After that I had to have surgery on my right lung (Pleural Abrasion) and a few months of physiotherapy after that. I also had a yearly appointment with a Pneumology MD for 5 years to follow the development of the lung until it was all fine.

    How much did I pay? You guessed it…zero. Now I wonder how much would that set me back in the US with or without insurance.

    I’ve seen this level of confidence from people who don’t know what they’re talking about before. Spoiler alert, it’s embarrassing for you

    Ahahahahahah! Oh the irony! Drop the smugness.

    Dude, you don’t know as much about nuclear energy as you think. But you know even less about concrete.

    if you bury it in a few inches of concrete it’s literally never a problem again

    I’m putting this one on Facebook for my civil engineer friends to laugh at. It’s going to be a riot. Concrete is pourous as hell and doesn’t last much on a grand scale. And on top of that you think a few inches is enough? This is nuclear waste, it’s not Emma Dorothy from Sunday school!

    Stop embarrassing yourself.
