I live in the second one. On purpose. I'll never wear my debian tshirt.

If.

Wow, you've tried nothing and are all out of ideas!

I'll happily supply the hacksaw to keep you occupied.

I actually love that we have resourses like this.

My gripe is that they miss the mark by targeting new dads. The reason dad jokes are great is they are the first jokes your kid understands. So I would think dads of 4 to 9 year-olds would be a better target.

The high you feel when your kid cracks up at some offhand dumb joke can't be bottled.

But the reason I love this as a resourse is that explaining jokes to a curious child develops connections in their head in a way that only a parenting rolemodel can really do. So even if it's not laugh-out-loud funny to explain a joke, if your child tells you that they do not get a joke, first and foremost realize that is a vunerable admission. Buddies will rag on you for not getting it. Parents see a gap in their kids' world experience that they can fill.

Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don't miss.

edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn't clear.

This can't help in the short term, I would consider learning steno. It used to cost thousands to rent specialized equipment to do it. Now with Plover (foss), the software component is free. You just need a keyboard with n-key rollover to do it.

I wouldn't actually recommend learning on a standard keyboard. I personally use an ortholinear for typing, and that's what got me into plover.

One way this would help one disabilities to make money is that with high-speed internet, you can caption internet broadcasts or remote company meetings. There are nonprofits that you would work for to find companies that need your service.

How else would you know it was doing anything?

Who says the kid didn't scavenge for it?

I bet he gets fed frozen pizza. Lazy-ass guardians. You need to cook that shit.

Fun fact: 200-foot radio towers are free. You can take them home. I have 257 200-foot radio towers.

You're correct in a lot of languages; Excel comes to mind. Just that's not how int rand() works in C.

Sorry, I don't why you're getting snark and even being accused of using the word "integer".

This is shocking though. It's usually subtext that they are lying. I think something was discovered in the constant litigation they need to get ahead of.

But which consumes more energy? Like really. I'm betting AI does, but some tasks might be close.

How can you enjoy your tea without a window?

Exactly. More precisely, the wording is making the reader confuse assets and debts. Which side of the ledger does that sheep actually belong on?

"Daddy, why do people have to eat?"

[long pull from cig] "Plants... They came here. Now we are enslaved to eat them. It is their way."

On the other hand, he hasn't done a debate so far for this presidential race

It is way too early for R vs. D debates. Why would Biden debate him? Biden is handily beating Dean Phillips. Trump needs to defeat Haley first. It's not Biden fault Haley is still in it.

It's what percentage of countries have one that would matter.
