So the developers claim, but the users still encounter it, and the bug report stays open for 22 years … possibly more.

Caffeine is pretty well studied and it’s known that the long term health effects are nothing close to cocaine. I doubt if there was any good science back then on the long term effects of cocaine, let alone enough education for the populace to know and understand it.

However social perceptions may change anyway. What we consider as not serious may be considered much more serious in the future. For example many people get headaches or even migraines as a withdrawal symptom of caffeine, and we don’t consider a headache to be serious.

But I saw a Star Trek episode once where Picard gets a headache and it was a big deal because those had been solved for hundreds of years by that time! Turns out the ferengi were controlling his mind or something. So caffeine may be considered a serious drug in the future if it interferes with the detection of alien mind control devices.

My favourite is the “upload your genitals as jpeg”

There is, it’s literally right there on the home page of the project. You can either copy a URL and download it by cloning the git repo, or you can download the whole project as a zip file. Then you just have to compile it!

GitHub is for developers, not end users.

Huh, interesting. I didn’t realize Dassaults makes both solidworks and catia.

It’s made by Seimens, the industrial equipment manufacturer. IIRC it’s one of the oldest CAD systems there is, from the 80s when they started developing it in house for their own use.

It’s just the simplest way to explain extrusion.

“A profile through which material is pushed, forming a part of uniform section and indeterminate length” just confuses people. But then you say “ya know those playdoh things?” And they instantly understand.

Damn nice find! Full cast iron body, you don’t see stuff like that anymore.

That’s not what was said though. They didn’t talk about the concept, they spoke about the Olympics. They straight out said:

The Olympics are one of the best things humanity does. … the Olympics are one of the only times the whole world comes together to at least attempt to do something positive.

Which is objectively untrue. It is not a global positivity exercise; it is not the world “coming together”. That’s just their marketing bullshit.

It is just a business that profits off people without compensating them.

I don’t know where that comes from, and it’s always bothered me that fantasy and sci fi conflate the two words.

Homo sapiens is the species, not the race. So racism will still mean the same thing as it means now.

Aren’t those all part of one of the other three? The orkneys and Hebrides are part of Scotland.

Guess who runs the Olympics?

I wonder what we’re going to call it when actual aliens show up. Then xenophobia will literally mean fear of aliens, so what will we call fear of foreign nationals?

Pretty sure clown shows are just called circuses.

No, my salary didn’t go down, relative to inflation.

I’m calling bullshit on that one.

Everybody’s salary except executives has gone down relative to inflation going all the way back the the 80s.

I didn’t get that insinuation at all.

Do you see the same insinuations with the statement “Obama increased drone strikes”?

I’m sure you’d happily support the insinuation that trump was a dictator if something similar were said about him.

you make it sound like he did this by himself.

He is the public face of the government. Of course he didn’t do everything by himself, good or bad. Everybody knows that already, it’s a stupid point to make. He’s chosen to take on the job of being his governments public face, and statements about government being directed at him personally is just part of the job.

Trump wasn’t personally throwing children in jail, but when people talk about the border detentions that happened during his presidency, we still say Trump did it.

Obama didn’t personally approve every drone strike, he was backed up by plenty of other politicians, but we still say Obama increased the drone strikes.

Stephen Biesty?

Damn that’s gonna be slow.

But I guess speed was not a criterion.
