Twitter is a social media platform, that space is never going to have the kind of social cache novel space exploration does. It doesn't matter how amazing of a communication app or social media platform it is, as a job it is less epic

Twitter seems like a great tool for organizations and people to make announcements to me, but a terrible format for providing actual content or conversation. If I were to design something that would replace twitter what I would design would

Yeah but I feel like "work on twitter" is way less of a .... shall we say noble/socially fulfilling job. I'd value working on sending people to mars (not to live, just to do a walk on it), it'd make me part of somet

It prevents it being guessed. The memorable part protects against someone finding the written down/recorded random portion and using it since they don't have the remembered part, but the remembered part on it's own is somewha

Look maybe it's just my bubble but I'm not sure that is the case. I take environmental concerns into heavy consideration while voting but beyond that what actions I can take personally are highly limited (I already don't own

Shotguns being the way they are is less about sticking to what people believe to be true and more about making them feel significantly different to other types of fire arm. If you were to have a shotgun with a realistic spread in most games

> I agree completely. I feel compelled to point out that these accessibility laws would never have gained traction if we (speaking generally) had made things accessible in the first place, eh? Oh I totally agree that we need accessibilit

I definitely wouldn't describe myself as anti-accessibility: I think physical structures should be handicap accessible (with the caveat that I think private dwellings shouldn't be forced to be), I think government services should

Nah I don't have kids I am way happier working from home. I can spend more time with my partner, and when she and I both have a quiet moment we can make tea/coffee together and have a short break in our work day. I can do things l

> the conclusion that "taller women, on average, are less attractive to the average male than short women" is invalid I'd say it's premature given that a lot of women don't want to date men shorter than them, so

That is most definitely not the case in Australia. I'm a dev, I never work weekends. I do sometimes work later in the day meaning some weeks are probably a bit more than 40 hours, but I also take long lunch breaks or leave early so som

The weird thing is while I was at uni I went to all my lectures, so I have no idea where the fear comes from

Riiiiiight but "Well statistically it's the boyfriend/ex boyfriend so lets lock him up" is different to "Well there is evidence that makes us think it probably was the ex boyfriend in this specific case"

I legit had a dream recently that I had enrolled in a graduate degree and then forgotten I was enrolled for months and now it was a week before exam time I had just had a realisation of "Oh hey, didn't I enrol in a degree?"

Probability isn't beyond reasonable doubt though. Like I finished the Serial podcast thinking Adnan probably was at least involved in her death, but I still think "just convict the boyfriend/husband based on a single testimo

by mecha_ghidorah 4y ago
I'm not mad that Serial didn't provide doubt or prove guilt, though I am somewhat frustrated that the reporter seemed to have so much doubt that (in my opinion) wasn't justified by what she presented in the show, what I am ma

by mecha_ghidorah 4y ago
I hated Serial so goddamn much. I honestly felt like it did a terrible job of establishing much reasonable doubt and it just sort of... ends? Would you still recommend Undisclosed?

I should really get tested for that. I have ADHD and my fingers can do weird crap and I have had 2 suffers and 1 person who has a similar condition tell me I should get checked for it... I just feel weird saying "hey doctor some people

I mean I can see that. I worked at a small computer repair shop and the way people would react sometimes when we managed to save their family photos or PHD thesis off of a failing disk made me feel like I was genuinely making someone's

Not parent but absolutely. There isn't a single thing I could do 40 hours a week long term without at least getting kind of sick of... but 4 hours per week means I wouldn't get sick of it, plus I'd have all that flexibility a

How on earth can it be best in terms of ergonomy if it isn't symmetrical and requires rotating it 180 degrees to change hands instead of just... passing it to the other hand?

Yeah that is true, and I do kind of remember that. Admittedly it has been a while and I have a (possibly incorrect) memory that it took annoyingly long for him to do that. My memory is also that despite dismissing it as Voldemort this text

I did read the second book but the problem is that from a story perspective another old book being a horcrux would be... kinda lame IMO

by mecha_ghidorah 4y ago
God I thought that was such a weird book. It attempts to build loads of tension around the idea that an old textbook has gasp prewritten notes in it. I know that it tries to imply it might be Voldemort's textbook but even if it was..

I suppose that is a possibility. I understand what I'm looking for is kind of specific, I suppose this is in some ways similar to more and more phones ditching the headphone jack and sd card slot... The more companies all follow each o

by mecha_ghidorah 4y ago
But I don't want to rotate it. I switch hands very often, and in situations where rotating it might be uncomfortable (i.e. when holding other things). EDIT: to clarify, it isn't just about the waiting for me. It's about the p

Netflix sometimes has stereo audio tracks if you look at the list of possible audio tracks, and other times not. I don't have a soundbar or 5.1 speakers so I'm aware of it
