Shower drains and storm drains are the same thing in theory but not practice

Jump

  • True but I wanted a literal shower thought

    • China has debuted its new landing barges – what does this mean for Taiwan?

    Jump

  • I like these kinds of articles because of Betteridge's Law:

    What does this mean for Taiwan?

    No

    • Can anyone explain to me how the American stock market is up for the year after everything that is happening (tariffs)?

    Jump

  • You're holding the chart upside down

    VTI is down over 5% YTD at time of writing

    • When you're too good at your job

    Jump

  • Microsoft is gonna try to recommission that plant next, aren't they?

    • I don't envy the humans pre-dentistry

    Jump

    • DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches?

    Jump

  • "just as good"? No, I feel it is (and has been for years) vastly superior but I mostly use it to find documentation or Stack Overflow answers so consistent UI and concise summaries are high priority to me. Take that as you will

    I don't think anybody can dethrone Google Maps yet but that's another story

    • Anyone know why americans are relatively unconcerned about dying to totally preventable stuff like disease?

    Jump

  • "preventable disease" and "Americans" are very broad terms

    • A musical score on a movie/show serves basically the same purpose as a fake laugh track on a sitcom

    Jump

  • And now I suppose I have to read that in a sarcastic voice because of the "/s"? /d

    (/d = dead serious)

    • "Buy Canadian" isn't so cut and dried

    Jump

  • Guess you can say it's not exactly... Canada Dry...

    Disintetested 3rd Party Man away!

    • Are you better off than your parents at your age?

    Jump

  • Yep. Low bar to clear

    • I just think skibidibi sounds neat.

    Jump

  • It's obviously referring to the guy in the background watching them talk

    • I am the eggman

    Jump

  • It's buried... And I don't want to dig past a certain somebody to get it...

    • Be safe out there

    Jump

  • That's 12.8 billion bites for NYC alone (the population is 8 million there, right? I can't be bothered to check)

    • what debugging regex feels like

    Jump

  • This would honestly be a lot easier

    • In almost 100% of scenarios that I can think of, the underdog is always the "good guy"

    Jump

  • The challenge isn't finding counter examples, it's limiting the narrative of history to have a simple "good/bad divide" but here are some selections of underdogs one may consider the greater of two evils:

    • The confederacy (US Civil War)
    • Caesar's army crossing the Rubicon
    • Imperial Japan post Pearl Harbor
    • Pakistan's complicated history with India
    • King Leonidas and his men (Persia was arguably more equitable)
    • Austria-Hungary (WW1)
    • Fascist Italy (WW2)

    As for David and Goliath, keep in mind David was using a sling, a weapon that can hit with the same force as a modern revolver when used properly. It's entirely possible that story is an allegory and/or propaganda of the value of properly equipping one's armies; it probably shouldn't be viewed as anymore impressive than a rampage killer fatally wounding somebody twice their size

    • Who would you send this to?

    Jump

  • To whom would you send it*

    Oh look, I got mail

    • Is the Nintendo Switch 2 the end of innovative consoles?

    Jump

  • The Switch was an iterative improvement on the Wii U and while I wish they called it Nintendo Snap (how I heard the new sound effect) instead of drab numbering, I'd argue there are similar iterative innovations here--some likely to compete with the Steam Deck--without losing what's working so far

    • Just finished watching Station 11 on Max. SOOOOO good!

    Jump

  • Can't speak from experience but heard via podcasts the show is actually an improvement over the book

    • Under your nose

    Jump

  • This apple rrrrrrrr... This apple is rrrrrrrrrr-ruh-ruh-ruh ROYAL BLUE!!

    • Forgive them, for they know not what they do

    Jump

  • If they're landlords, the correct term for a tenant is landslave
