The USSR beat the US in every other stage of the space race.

First unmanned space vehicle (Sputnik), first manned space flight (Gagarin), first space walk (Alexei Leonov), first woman in space (Valentina Tereshkova)... the list goes on, and I didn't even have to look up any of this.

I didn't think I needed the /s, but here goes:

Ah c'mon, give them credit where it's due. They didn't try nothing - thoughts and prayers were tried in abundance.

I would probably be old enough to get this line if I had grown up in the place where video games worked on channel 3...

The irony of someone not wanting to use decimal points for their temperature setting isn't lost on me, when that same person has to resort to fractions to measure anything thinner than a door.

I'll hazard it's because all your points sound like pseudoscientific nonsense that you basically just pulled out of your arse.

Dying on that hill doesn't make you king of the hill. It just makes you a person who chose to die on that hill. Like I said, I won't stop you. But I will still comment.

You have issues. Get help.

Whenever I think that I have seen it all in one of these °F vs °C threads, someone comes along and proves me wrong.

No, the F scale was not built around human biology, that is pure conjecture from people who can't let go of their antiquated system of measures.

But you go die on that hill, I won't stop you.

If half a degree Celsius makes the difference between being comfortable or uncomfortable for you, then you have bigger problems than being able to use whole numbers.

So, they will shut down 3G in areas that already have poor mobile coverage, even with 4G, and that won't get 5G any time soon. This will increase the number of people with poor mobile coverage and no other options. If at least there was some form of commitment to roll out 5G quickly and comprehensively, or some visibility of rollout plans, but there's not even that. So once again, we are at the mercy of the profit-driven service providers, who haven't expanded 5G past the major population centres in the five years since it has become available, and have no clear intentions of doing so.

Would it surprise you to know that there is a unit of length that is specifically the distance between the earth and the sun?

It's called Astronomical Unit.

No.

Fuck no. I hate digging holes.

Harness (a SaaS CI/CD solution)

It is mercilessly opinionated, has a shitty licensing model, bad Git integration, unusable pipeline code (way too complex to write by hand, have to use the visual pipeline editor).

It wasn't the primary reason for leaving that particular job, but it was a factor. The more I worked with it, the more I hated it.

Road 96 has quite a bit of replay ability as you're unlikely to get 100% of all stories on the first playthrough.

Remind me, what else happened in 2020? Was there any particular reason why the 'immigration tap' was turned off?

That doesn't make it ok. Pointing out that others are worse doesn't excuse our wrongdoings, it just creates a race to the bottom.

Unfortunately it seems to be a thing that we can be as shit as we want, as long as others are worse.

That's good to hear. Now if I could only get NBN service (other than SkyMuster) at my place, that would be swell.

Are they now going to hike prices every six months or some such?

I don't think we will know any time soon. Not unless the person is actually put on trial.
