Is it Windows 98?

Jokes aside: You have to count the time from starting to boot Windows to restarting it, letting the computer do its pre-boot whatver-it-does-es, to back to grub.

And I find a minute a long wait.

An interesting concept I haven’t thought about. I can’t imagine what it’s like to not have an auditory representation of the words I’m reading. Maybe the idea of the article is salvageable if you consider “matching characters” to the elements of language, like matching the letters u and n to the idea of “negation”. Though I don’t know how that would hold up when words aren’t made up of individual, meaningful constituents.

Yeah, If I don’t catch the train, I also just uninstall the rails and hope for the best.

tl;dr: No. That’s because dyslexia isn’t a problem with character recognition, but with matching characters to sounds.

No, I needed the advanced boot options and fat-fingered.

I can’t understand how this is still a thing. Everybody, and I mean literally everybody, even subsaharan illiterates have had to fill out a form where the lines are 3mm apart and 8mm wide. And still, when it’s time to design a form themselves, they think putting down a few underscores in font size 3 1/4 is enough.

AAAAAHHH!!!

What would be a reason to exclude Australia? It’s huge, surrounded by ocean and has unique wildlife.

You could discount Antarctica because without all the ice it’s just an archipelago.

20?!

I would have hoped it had something to do with tectonic plates

here.

Africa being an ocean is supported by there being saltwater between it and Asia. The panama canal(s) connect freshwater lakes to bridge the gap between the Pacific and the Atlantic.

Everyone learns different definitions based on their education system’s world view, leading to a number of continents somewhere between 3 and 20. It turns out that nature doesn’t care for humans’ desire to put everything into neat, well-defined little boxes.

From the godfather Himself:

I’d like to point out (yet again) that we don’t do feature-based releases, and that “5.0” doesn’t mean anything more than that the 4.x numbers started getting big enough that I ran out of fingers and toes.

From kernel.org:

Does the major version number (4.x vs 5.x) mean anything?

No. The major version number is incremented when the number after the dot starts looking “too big.” There is literally no other reason.

Also you need to select the element picker first after opening the dev tools.

I do appreciate the warning shot, though.

If you’d like this information told more wittily, watch CGPGrey’s video “Your Social Security Card is Insecure” (7:49).

I like to laugh at dumb people as much as the next one. But on a more serious note:

Brains forget shit. And my unsubstantiated opinion is that that is what makes humans so great. We can learn easily, but on the flipside, anything that isn’t practiced regularly goes down the drain. Calculating things in your head is one of those things you just don’t practice regularly (and why would you?) So draw out your calculator for things like the square root of 1337 and keep your precious cerebral resources for shit that matters, like making furry porn.

I’ll send this to my friend who either doesn’t sneeze or sneezes 10 times in a row.

Maybe he’ll show it to his daughter who somehow inherited that.

“Bildschirmpause” in Austria be like:

I was curious about the quote, but it got jpegged away :(
