Word

  • Been a while since I've used Word. If I recall correctly, you can hold Alt while dragging an image to make it act correctly. Oddly enough, I think I learned that trick from when I was really into the sims

  • Short answers work best. "oh hey do you have any plans this weekend? "Yes." Conversation over. Someone asks you how you are, your answer is "fine, thank you" and you move along. You're polite and you've satisfied all they've given you. It won't work all the time, there are some people who are more interested in talking at you instead of with you. For those, I recommend starting the conversation with an exit. "Oh hey, I'd love to chat, but I only have a couple minutes." You can now walk away pretty much whenever and it's not like you didn't tell them, it was the first thing you said.

  • Problem is, we can't currently trust the people that are making those decisions. Cops, courts, and politicians have proven time and time again that they can't be trusted. The other thing I'd like to touch on, why would it need to be humane? It's a punishment, a deterrent. It should be reserved for the worst crimes imaginable, and it should be scary and awful to go through. Let them starve, deprive them of oxygen, drown them, light them on fire, let the victims/survivors go at the perpetrator with a clawed hammer. Punishments are meant to be awful, it's to keep people from doing it in the first place.

  • Not at all, but it's cute that you tried to project that shit opinion onto me. I think murderers, rapists, and pedophiles are a waste of air and resources and need to be put down like a rabid dog. I don't agree with putting your trust into a government authority to make that call. I understand that not every case is going to be open/shut and that human error exists and people like to lie about things. I don't have an answer for a perfect solution to remove those types of people from society. Some people can't be rehabilitated and the loss needs to be cut before it impacts anyone else. Our current system is fucked entirely. Cops are fucked, politicians are fucked, and now we have people advocating for rapists, murders, and pedophiles as if they're capable of being human. I'm not calling for the death penalty for stealing or public disturbance. I'm specifically saying for those three things, murder, rape, and the abuse of children, should be punishable by death. You seem to disagree with that and would prefer that those types of people continue living and breathing our air. What a shame.

  • I feel you, I'm pro death penalty for shit like this, rapists, and pedos as well. Unfortunately with how broken our system is in the US, somehow the death penalty costs more than just keeping them alive on a life sentence. Unlimited appeals drawing out the court process, which costs money to have everyone involved there. If it were as simple as just taking them out back and blasting them, sure, but that's not what we've put in place

  • Unfortunately, this is exactly what I expected when I first heard this was in the works. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure theres plenty of people who enjoy halo infinite. I'm not one of them. The game wasn't well optimized at the time I played it, a few months after release. Skins were horrible and locked behind micro transactions. Maps were garbage, and matchmaking made it worse. I don't think I ever got into a match at the start, I was always backfilled. They promised a bunch of fixes/features and delivered on almost none of them. It sucks, Halo was a big part of my highschool years and now it feels like a really shitty money grab. The worst part about it, we have an example of a functioning money grab game, fortnite. People clown on it, but it's actually fun to play from time to time and I don't feel burdened by micro transactions like I do with halo infinite

  • In highschool, back in 2007, I got my first taste of Linux in my highschool electronics class. The class was mostly focused on electrical engineering, however we had a computer in the room for research and for whatever reason, my teacher was a hardcore Linux guy. We talked about it for hours and eventually, I ordered a CD from Ubuntu by mail and installed it on my home PC, a computer that originally ran Windows ME. I've primarily used Windows since I do a fair bit of gaming, but I've always maintained a linux partition of some kind. On my laptop, I'm currently testing out the latest Ubuntu release, but before that, I was running Linux Mint DE in the Mate flavor with BSPWM as the window manager. On my main PC, I have a Windows 10 partition, and a Garuda Linux partition. Garuda is running Mate with BSPWM as well. The funny thing is, I'm not really a tech guy. I just like it and use it mostly just as a consumer. I can work my way around and fix most things when they break, but I'm more likely to just nuke my installation and spin up a new one when things get really bad. I'm planning a full PC upgrade soon and plan to go AMD instead of Nvidia so I can enjoy Wayland. The latest Gnome release feels really good and matches my rose tinted memories of Unity from way back when. Hoping to run that, but may still mess with a tiling window manager set up as well.

  • I used to have one of those. It's was definitely neat, and managed to survive a while, but I don't think it's a good idea. The biggest issue with something like this is that it adds more moving parts, which in turn increases wear and tear. For the screen to move, you'd need to either use a ribbon cable, or have weird contact points that only work in certain positions. Both of which aren't great. Ribbon cables flex for a bit, but eventually tear, meaning no screen. The goofy contacts is slightly better, but eventually the sliding mechanism may go out of whack and now it isn't making contact correctly.

  • I get your point, AI is useful for some people, but what about the rest of us who don't want it or use it? I genuinely use the menu key and would prefer to keep it functioning as it does and now I'm going to be forced to lose that key and now I have to deal with AI? It has no use for me. I also don't want something actively watching and "thinking" about what I'm doing. I want my computer somewhat dumb and to only do what I tell it to. If you want a keyboard with a dedicated AI button, get one with a macro pad or something. Don't inconvenience the rest of us by forcing a nonsensical change

  • Unsweetened isn't a thing. That implies that it was sweetened, and then the sweetening was somehow undone. You have tea and you have sweetened tea. It's just like an uncircumcised dick. That implies that the circumcision was undone somehow you put the foreskin back

  • I don't recall all of the fun fine details of it, but waaaaaaaay back when, there was a math nerd who was also just as much of a religious nut. He's the main idea behind why graphs work the way they do. Up and to the right is good, where as down and the left is bad. The direction right became synonymous with godliness and the left direction was for evil, just like up and down. In a weird way, math is hella religious

  • My public school education on pemdas is that for multiplication/division and addition/subtraction, you do them on order from left to right. Doing it that way gets me 16, which I believe to be right, but I'm also very bad at math. The way you had explained is also technically correct, if you do the multiplication out of order. Now that I think about it, you could solve for the parentheses by multiplying 2+2 by two, giving you 8/8 quicker and still yielding 1. I'm now having more doubts about my math capabilities, both are right, but I know that's wrong, I just don't know why
