Oh no, you!
Eh, not really. I was very close to buying a BMW X5 instead, but I couldn’t find a 7 seater nearby. I don’t feel enthusiasm towards the Volvo brand in general, I just happen to have had two cars that I’ve really liked. The logo could’ve said Lada for all I care.
The thumbnail looked like a fried circuit board. How fitting.
I remember a translated version of this one from when I was a kid. If anyone were curious, in Scandinavia, baby kits are bought at Jernia.
Lol no
I might be curious about the car itself, just to figure out how it may or may not differ from my own, based on the year it was made, but I don’t give two shits about the driver. I generally don’t like other people, and car brand ownership makes no difference in this equation.
Used to drive a Tank 1995 Volvo 940, and more than a few times did someone approach me to talk to a fellow “vintage Volvo enthusiast”.
Now that I drive a 2019 Volvo XC90 T8, people assume that I am a Volvo enthusiast based on the fact that I’ve had two Volvos in a row. The truth is that I really liked the durable tank that was my old car, and I really like the comfort of my new car. They are not similar in any shape or form. They just happen to both be Volvos.
I am by no means an expert (closer to the opposite, actually), but I always considered Time as the 4th dimension to be a bit of a fallacy that inhibits further thinking on the subject.
Sure, time can be considered a fourth dimension when looking at it from a perspective of trying to determine possible states of a system, as it adds one more axis in which an object can move. However, when it comes down to mathematics and physics, I consider it more like a property that is applied to a system and objects in it, regardless how many axis of movement is applied to it.
And just to be clear: I don’t understand it fully either, and I don’t know if it is correct. it’s just how I prefer to look at it, and it holds true in most circumstances I stumble across. I have no idea how a tesseract would look to a four dimensional eye.
Well, it belongs to Google, so I assume they use it for logging which addresses do which lookups, and correlate this with their other fingerprinting databases. I very much doubt they run a public DNS just to be nice.
I always used 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1. Not sure how privacy friendly they are, but probably miles more than 8.8.8.8
43, here. Based on anecdotal evidence I’m disputing your second statement, and confirming the third.
By the way, imma be a crane driver when I grow up.
For roughly three milliseconds I thought to myself they shoulda used solar panels instead.
“Oh, wait…”
Not disputing your claim, as it doesn’t surprise me at all, but I’m curious: What are “the worst right wing instances” ?
I haven’t paid enough attention to notice any instances with a consistent and noticeable right-wing lean.
I don’t know for sure, but I think so. And I’m a naturally curious person about these things, so I try to frame it in a way different from their looks, such as “That’s an interesting name… where’s it from?”.
I’ve never seen an octopus spell “no” either. Presumably due to Black Swan effect.
To be fair, pelted by silt and rocks is the actual no - octopi can’t speak.
And if it’s something you don’t really care about, they’re meticulous or pedantic.
Got home from a work trip, so my GF and I are continuing Resident Alien.
While out and about i watched Jackass 3 while having a few moments to waste.
And the UFO nuts are going to be disappointed by this nothingburger release to the point where they start demanding the REAL files. What will be the next distraction?
Yup. Another aspect of this is that I sometimes find myself in a conversation with someone (it’s happened here on Lemmy too) about something technical. I might tell them about an approach that I might use, or my preference, mostly just making conversation, and the reply isn’t conversational at all, it’s argumentative and sometimes even confrontational or combative.
Luckily Lemmy allows for tagging these people so that I won’t bother making conversation with these again. I usually tag these people after shutting down the “discussion” with something like “No, I will not address what you said. I was making conversation, you were after a debate that you could win. I am not interested in typing just to feed your ego, so I see no point in resuming this thread”
This, plus it helps to keep in mind that it’s not your responsibility to educate people even if they’re objectively wrong. Nor is it your responsibility to change the mind of people with garbage opinions.
When someone is argumentative, they are rarely after an actual conversation, or even a debate. They’re after an interaction they can win.
They are not entitled to your engagement.
One would think it at least involved some enthusiasm
