But it doesn’t really apply to everyday life as well. So it actually makes sense to use both units for the things the are good at.

It's funny to assume that all people using Celsius are unable to ascertain how they will feel outside based on the temperature value.

I mean, I understand that round numbers are cute, but we are able to handle numbers ending in 5 as well as numbers ending in 0.

the Celsius nerds are mad at you

You mean most of the world? Defending a backwards options never looks like a rational choice.

People buy false books for decoration, so...

I found another of my kin.

As a teenager I had a crush on Dominique Françon and her sexual assertiveness until I understood how deeply perturbed she was.

She was also an unabashed atheist, which is why she was able to promote the idea of selfishness being good.

What the hell is this non-sequitur?

You missed the chance to push back in your refusal. You had plenty of justification to be nasty.

Imo the amount of magic variables in perl is too damn high.

"Explicit is better than implicit" and "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it" in The Zen of Python exist, I'm sure, as a direct reaction to Perl's magic variables and TIMTOWTDI.

Or your own after six months.

People in theaters suck. Most people lack the respect and reverence for a shared experience of suspended disbelief.

Even if they could, they shouldn't.

Vorlon answers for the win.

Marvel is lazy. The Orci/Kurzmann/Abrams brainchildren are clumsy.

The disrespect to Jasika Nicole has soured the show for me, and I liked it quite a bit the first time.

Just like everything Abrams, Kurtzmen [sic] , and Orci touch.

So true. They managed to destroy a show like Sleepy Hollow, with a glorious premise and excellent casting, to the point that the main actress bailed out.

s/Alien/Man from the future/, but otherwise on point.

That's not the point. The point is that believing nonsense is useless, dangerous, and just wrong.

Politics are pretty bleak. They will not be solved by dreaming of nonsense about singularities, omnibenevolent AIs, "heaven on Earth", or colonization of other planets. Most likely nothing of that will ever happen.

i meant a full on artifical inteligence, singularity type shit

I understood that. I don't think that will ever exist.

Solitary in a Faraday cage. Nice punishment.
