If the sun were to go out it would take 8 minutes for the light to stop but 13 years for the sound to stop.

Kind of like when you kill an enderman. 🤔

Well, what do you want to eat? I guess if you don’t want to prepare your own food, those are the only options, whether at work or at home. Otherwise, make whatever you want and take it to work. Cook more food than you need for your dinner and take the leftovers. Make a salad (tons of options for them), make a sandwich. You don’t have to eat canned soup, make some nice homemade soup and freeze a bunch of individual servings to grab and take. The possibilities are endless.

Hemorrhoidia

OK I was with him for the first 4 minutes about why Windows is unusable, but this was so irritating to watch. Hyperactive videos like this drive me nuts, someone talking loud and fast and editing so there is not even a millisecond gap between sentences. But the audio aspect still isn’t hyper enough for this guy, no! the video has to be the same way, showing just his hands, gesticulating wildly the whole time. UGH.

So anyway, once I got to where he finally gets to the subject of Linux and immediately launches into the typical bullshit where he says to use Linux, you have to use the terminal and know how to write scripts, I quit watching. Most of these “I tried Linux!” videos are like this. I only clicked on it because the title said he actually switched to Linux.

The only thing I “understand” is that all the rules are arbitrary as all fuck, society was made up by idiots with giant sticks up their arses, and everyone should go fuck themselves.

See? They were right, you do understand now. 😜

“which begs the question …”

I hate this phrase a lot. First, it comes from the term ‘begging the question’ which is a stupid name for a particular type of logical fallacy that doesn’t even make sense for its intended meaning. But no one uses in the intended way anyway. They use it to mean “raises the question” or “prompts the question”.

As in: John hasn’t been to work for a couple days, which begs the question ‘is he sick?’". No it doesn’t beg the question, it raises it. You beg for something, so you can beg a person for money or beg a dog to stop barking, etc. but you can’t beg a question for anything.

So it’s a doubly stupid phrase that makes me cringe every time I hear it whether it’s used “correctly” or not.

Minutes are the smaller time division with 60 possible values so that hand is longer to reach to the tick marks for easier reading of the exact minute.

The hour hand only needs to distinguish between 12 possible values that are more spread out around the perimeter, so it doesn’t need to reach very far to tell which hour out of 12 it is.

OK let’s have a lesson for those who find this difficult. First, remember that little kids pick this up quickly and easily, so you can too!

We all know there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day, right? and that the day is divided into the a.m. of 12 hours and the p.m. of 12 hours.

So analog clocks show those 12 hours as the numbers 1-12 evenly spaced around the clock face. Now look a little closer and you see it’s also divided into 60 marks with a tick mark for each of the 60 seconds/minute or 60 minutes/hour. Hang on, we’re almost there!

The little hand points to the HOUR number (1-12). If it’s in between two numbers, that means the time is in between those two hours.

The big hand points to the MINUTE tick mark. Notice that the 1-12 numbers coincide with each 5th tick mark so it’s easy to count them. Just count by 5’s! So if the big hand is between the 3 and the 4, that means the minute of the hour is between 15 and 20, look at which tick mark for the exact minute.

Now, can you figure out how the second hand works? Good! Kindergarten dismissed!

Nope, it still seems like most of the ones I see are analog, as in my library example. Probably most people ignore them and just check their phones for the time since they are constantly looking at them anyway.

Digital vs. analog watches that run on batteries are no more or less accurate because of how the time is displayed. I have a digital clock display on my battery-powered cordless phone (yes I also have a landline) that is constantly plugged into a power source and it loses a minute or two every day. Your computer and phone only keep displaying the correct time because they frequently update themselves from an online source.

Anyone who wants to understand how to read an analog clock can learn it in two minutes, it’s not like you need to be taught in school. edit to add: My brother recently told me that he was at the library and his friend’s teenage daughter looked at the analog clock and said indignantly “I can’t read that!” So apparently it is true that people aren’t learning simple skills like this.

I did try that but unfortunately it didn’t work on my system. There is also an option for the systemctl reboot command that I haven’t tried yet but plan to next time I need to get into the BIOS. IIRC it’s “–firmware-setup”. It’s supposed to reboot you into the BIOS, but whether it works or not depends on if your hardware supports it.

I’m glad to have it. I have to keep my old PS/2 keyboard plugged into that slot so I can get into the BIOS. My USB keyboard isn’t recognized until it’s too late to interrupt the boot process.

Take a pill with your head turned to the side toward your shoulder and it will go down much more easily.

🤔 I don’t think that white line on the photo could be the bullet:

The line is horizontal. The shot came from up on a roof and would have had at least some downward angle.

More importantly, in the photo Trump’s hand is raised at about his shoulder level. If you check the video, both his hands were gripping the podium at the time of the shot that hit his ear. It’s after that shot (because he feels it), he first winces and only then raises his hand from the podium up to his ear. So it can’t be that one in the photo.

His hand is up on his ear at the moment of the next shot. So it can’t be that one in the photo.

Then as he lowers his hand there is a third shot, but by that time his shoulders are scrunched up and he’s starting to duck, his head is turned more away from the mike–which is not what we see in this photo. Then he continues going down.

So that moment of the photo doesn’t seem to line up with the timing of any of the shots. The only way it might is if the sound track is not in sync with the video.
