MM/YY for me. People can figure out the day of month themselves.

Microsecond precision is fine for most use cases, but I teach my kids to use nanoseconds.

After all the self-important blowhards in the committe were satisified that they had put their fingerprint on the ISO8601 document with bullshit like "year-month-week" format support and signed off, they went home.

The rest stayed behind, waited a few minutes to be safe, and then quickly made RFC3339 like a proper standard.

This is what RFC3339 vs ISO8601 feels like.

Remember media bubbles are different in different countries.

The nordic media are pretty intensely hostile to Israel already and have been for years.

Harming a famous swede on a clear peaceful mission would go nuclear.

I wish we'd stop allowing them to be referred to as "rubber bullets", which sounds sorta safe.

These things are metal slugs that break bones and rupture organs. They can crush your skull and kill you outright:

I am a bit confused here, because what you describe is what is currently happening. :)

A multiplication of one or more factors is a product.

Both factors and product are usually numbers, so we commonly just say that, but the math terms are as above

I've partied all day since sunrise leave me alone

Tbh the frequent pain from needing to read it again often happens because it was so hard to write correctly that it misbehaves on some data and you need to adjust it.

• Ok, so is it correct to say it has some rotation properties?
• Hahaha, oh no. Nonononono. No. Not at all correct no. However, it's the best we've got so yeah that's what we're going with.

Not much but people will look at you funny.

Your fanfic of other people's inner dialogue may not be canon.

He will forget by tomorrow.

Depends? You can also copy a book exactly (i.e. word for word, not photocopying), and digital media also deteriorates.

Digital media deteriorates faster in cold storage than a physical book, but is easier to copy.

Properly stored: CDs die anywhere between 10 and 30 years. Some flash drives last 10. Magnetic storage 10-20 years. Books hunders of years.

I'd say physical books are safer against deterioration because it can handle a few generations of "forgetting about it" while a digital copy needs regular backup maintenance.

Lack of official support for a lot of devices does not make it "not released".

I can get it right now and install it on an AMD 'puter. I expect to manually install some drivers at least to get it fully working, but since the base OS is Arch, that's pretty explored territory.

This saves me from accidentally installing a rootkit or other software.

This sentence surprised me a bit. When and how often do you run that risk?

These days I see it used in a derogatory way to describe countries and their culture more than the genetics of the people living in them.

E.g. even though I am genetically identical to white Texans, I'd happily call Texas uncivilized because it lets assholes with guns override government.

They are "fucking with" NATO, historically, but not attack. Lots of "im not touching you im not touching you" on the borders and north sea. Military submarines where they are not supposed to be. Sudden declarations of artillery practice in international waters causing ship travel to reroute, then not actually doing practice...

Ah, they found it. Was wondering who went in to downvote all the discussion.

Anyhoo "haters gonna hate" is supposed to mean that you are succeeding despite the criticism.

It doesn't really have the same bite while still begging.

You make it, and now it's a somewhat safe place for people to form discussions that validate pedophilia. Several discussions now are adjacent to that topic, via adoption discussion, sneakernet dissemination, countries with lax laws, discussions around age of consent, definitions of nudity, what is considered public spaces for photography...

At some point it is no longer pure philosophical discussions in neutral faith, but a breeding ground for pure shit. How do you determine if that point is reached? How do you decide where the line goes? How do you adjust the rules to adjust for this?

The above is not hypothetical. It specifically has ruined a few online spaces. Other topics like the Trump cult has a different pattern.

Each type of topic needs a different style, tolerance and shape of moderation for this, so it's more effective to look for this per topic instead of a general solution.

E.g. transgender discussion has different problems than russian aggression discussion, different problem actors using different strategies, and are solved by very different types of moderation.

Discussing which language should take precedence in schools, in countries with multiple official languages, needs a wildly different set of rules, moderation, tolerances and even moderator knowledge.
