I wonder what percentage of the failures to recreate a pitch are due to people not being able to adjust for the difference when they're hearing it through their own skull.

Yeah, and it doesn't have to be "exercise" exercise either, just exertion. Go work in the yard. Repair your house. Reorganize your stuff. Build some shelves. Change your own oil and rotate your own tires. Just do things that

I'd put five bucks on the average piece of software uploaded to the IA being less harmful to my computer than the average Windows update.

Mobile games in general are garbage. Considering the number of games, you could just emulate console games for the rest of your life and in doing so only play games that were built as games, not exploitation machines.

Laptops will even play tricks on you with full shutdown. I had a Thinkpad that, despite being "shut down" kept popping up on my desktop as "available for streaming" on Steam.

Storage drives aren't 18-inch behemoths anymore. You can stack storage to your heart's content, or, rather, your wallet's limit. Don't tell me about how you plan to offer ten times the storage in three years, tell me abo

There's something that reminds one a little of a knight stabbing a dragon with a sword when you're forced to yell "When I say stop I mean STOP, you son of a bitch!" and ram an extended paperclip into the manual eject hol

sending a file to someone 5 feet away is still a challenge. Yeah, what the hell is with that? If I need to send files between phones I can use an app, but there's no telling when they'll stop developing it and it'll stop wo

Which is weird because the only microSD card I've ever had fail on me locked itself into write-protect mode, allowing me to get my data. I wonder why SSDs don't do the same.

There is nothing in the modern hardware ecosystem quite as satisfying as the feeling and sound of a 3.5 inch floppy ka-chunking into a floppy drive. Sure, everything being silent magic these days is nice, but I never felt so in touch with a

Even if he was totally right he was aware that most people thought he was wrong. It's insane to make advertisers and investors think you're a lunatic whether or not you actually are when your income is dependent on those advertise

I don't understand why Musk didn't wait a few months for things to settle down before raising hell at Twitter. Before he bought it people were saying "He's gonna destroy Twitter!" and then he buys it and behaves as

Even if it didn't have the option, all you'd have to do is open up the front panel and rip the beeper off the board. That's what I do to my microwaves that can't be muted.

Not sure this point applies to software, but I find a doctor saying oops to be very comforting. If I know when he screws up I don't have to be suspicious of him the rest of the time.

There's more than enough posted to /g/ I wouldn't want on a work PC. At this very moment there's a bikini model, a spread-legged underage anime catgirl, a Terry Davis thread, some furry art, more anime girls, more a

Voters that would never care about fairness in women's sports if it didn't involve queer people to hate. That's certainly a large percentage of the motivation, granted. I do think a salient point is that there's nobody

It's simply not a meritocracy in the first place. "It's already unfair so there's no reason to care about it being unfair" is not a good argument. the relative increase in performance would not displace anyone wi

Significantly less, but not debilitatingly less. For a panel in direct sunlight and adjusted to point directly at the sun, the ground value is 1,050 watts per square meter.

1000000 square meters is one square kilometer, not one thousand. It's also less than half the acreage used by my local nuclear power plant.

I'd fire somebody for browsing 4chan at work. Shitting dick nipples, lolicon, and the occasional piece of child pornography does not need to be moving over our network.

They do it every time, don't they? If my brother and I get a single pizza I know he's getting two thirds of it because his black olives are going to be all over the place and they taste like poison.

That's a lot of moral panic about a very small group of people that don't generally win more often Do you have numbers on that? Specifically, that the average transwoman athlete moves neither up nor down in her rankings compared
