  • It's a contact allergy, so mostly it just makes you break out in a rash if you wear jewelry or work with tools that have been plated in nickel. It takes time before you break out, although people instantly falling over after getting a handful of change would be hilarious to see.

  • Oh no, I believe in a deity, I just believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving being that created the universe. Have you heard the goodness of his noodliness? Forever and ever, r-amen.

    Because if you can see how ridiculous that argument is, you can see how ridiculous I think yours is too. English is my first language and I grew up in the church. That's why I don't care about your 'arguments'. I've heard them before. I've used them before. Then I grew up and learned better.

    You're correct that you cannot prove a negative, which is why the burden of proof is on someone making a claim. You claim there is a god, but cannot prove the existence of him, so I have no burden to believe you just like you have no burden to believe me when I claim there's an all-powerful coalescent ball of spaghetti that controls the universe. "Just assume it's true and then marvel at how cool and strange things would be" isn't actually a persuasive argument.

    Jesus was a cool guy, but lots of people are killed for standing up for what they believe in. We don't make religions out of them, though.--

  • You argued both sides of "jesus is god" and came to the same conclusion. You realize that's an argument against God, right? If the story works without him being "divine", there's no reason to assume he was.

    Also, like I mentioned in the other comment, Pontius Pilate washed his hands of the situation and only ordered the crucifixion because the crowd demanded it. You can question "how could they think that", and argue that it's "really quite a narrow range of people", but the story is still that there were enough of them to demand the crucifixion of Jesus, and succeeded soo... What's your argument here?

  • Yeah, I get that. I think it's partially to do with how rarely I'll have an actual issue. Also with their turnover rate, I rarely interact with the same tech twice.

    I still do all the legwork to figure out if it's something I can fix myself and always put specifics (Repro steps, Error Codes, etc.), but pulled back on listing every other step I've already tried.

  • I feel bad that my old job's IT department would never trust me when I listed this amount of detail, so I stopped putting in the extra effort.

    My ticket: I am not able to login using the standard portal. The error I recieve is X. I have already tried rebooting. I have confirmed that everything was fully plugged in and that I am on the correct network. I also already went through the normal recovery process which did not work. Here is the result, [X].

    The first response from IT: Why don't you try rebooting and then let me know if it's working. If not, go through the normal recovery process.

    Like, I get it, you're being thorough and don't want to just blindly trust the user, but I'm only talking to you because I already tried your quick fixes. Please understand.

  • I've been playing couch co-op with my husband on both of our Switches. It's not too bad if you don't force a turn timer. The game will give you a ding when you're the last one to play, but we both have 'side games' or play with our cats in the meantime if the other needs more time. I wouldn't do it online or with a turn timer, though.

  • Christians: Give your money to the poor and love your neighbor as yourself.

    Also Christians: Those lazy illegals are taking our jobs! We shouldn't be taking people's hard-earned money and just GIVING it to people who have PROVEN they can't manage it! What about MY bootstraps!

  • Because they're a notoriously bad design that is prone to failing on every front that Tesla claimed they were the 'cutting edge' on. They're just BAD. The only way Tesla is going to sell out of their production line is by forcing someone to buy them, and it looks like it's the US military.

    I wouldn't think the same thing for Ford F150s, but I DEFINITELY would if suddenly we started hearing about police suddenly buying Fisher Price cars after hearing story after story of how they break down and leave toddlers stranded.

  • You said there was no evidence that anyone would change. I told you my personal story how this IS impacting me and how I'm going to change OS on my next computer, and you.. just sarcastically dismissed me?

    Did you want to actually contribute to the conversation or just be upset?

  • Well, mostly. You still need to use Kelvin so you don't get negative numbers for sciencing, but using them simultaneously for both day-to-day and science is nowhere near as common. Most people just want to know what to wear, and using Celsius loses a lot of the fidelity that Fahrenheit gives. This is after I spent 2 years only looking up the weather in Celsius so that I could get a feel for each degree of difference, and ended up just getting frustrated at how the same degree temperature in Celsius could feel drastically different to me when it's actually a 2-3 degree difference in Fahrenheit.

    Also, FWIW, British people love to use Fahrenheit when it's over 100 degrees because it 'feels hotter' to say that than '37', but they also love using Celsius when it's below freezing, as it 'feels colder' to say negative numbers instead of numbers in their teens or twenties. It's more psychology than anything, but Fahrenheit still definitely has its practical uses, and I'm not ditching it anytime soon.

    We can ditch feet/yards/miles though. Meters definitely make more sense in that regard.

  • the vast majority don’t care or they would have stopped using it a long time ago

    It's a little disingenuous to claim people should've stopped using something that hasn't come to market yet. I was looking for other options when they started trying to force me to upgrade to Windows 11, but this absolutely is the last straw that I won't use Windows on my next computer.
