  • This list comes across as very self-serving though. It's basically saying men's issues are only a problem for Feminism when it can be framed as also impacting women. I read the parent poster as calling for rising above a narrow single gender view of equal rights.

  • Here's how to fix this[+]

    Create $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs with

    XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/downloads"

    You may need to logout/in for things to reread this file.

    The full list of keys is:

    • XDG_DESKTOP_DIR
    • XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
    • XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR
    • XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR
    • XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR
    • XDG_MUSIC_DIR
    • XDG_PICTURES_DIR
    • XDG_VIDEOS_DIR

    : Since this is Linux, this is a fix for many but not all cases.

  • Important consequence of this in the context of elementary schools: most little boys don't lift up the seat when they pee and their aim is atrocious. At my kids' school, the gender neutral bathrooms are the toilets of last resort.

  • Most nuclear countries have had conventional conflicts since 1945. Many have lost without (publicly) considering nukes. The closest was the UN vs China in the 50's and it got MacArthur removed from command for asking.

  • Pebble Time Steel should have been the "standard". Maybe I'm the wrong audience but the Moto 360 is a big miss for me. A smart watch for me needs to have:

    • Always on, sunlight readable display
    • "3 day weekend" battery life
    • Basic smarts only: notifications, alerts, calendar
    • Durable, waterproof
    • Compact size
    • Fitness tracking

    I don't care too much about "premium materials" once some basic durability is satisfied. I don't have an opinion about round vs square.

  • A few years ago, I used crypto-as-in-cryptography in conversation with another engineer and they seemingly derailed into talking about Bitcoin and Ethereum. We were both really confused and annoyed with each other.

    It had a nostalgic feeling of what does "hacker" mean with some added irritation.

  • Knowing nothing?! I think Fahrenheit clearly wins as it's normalized against your own perception and experiences. If you ever have direct contact with 100C, it will be less pleasant than 100F.

    But my point was that both systems have their uses and I just code switch between them depending on the task. But if you have to have only one, it should be Celsius. I won't disagree with that.

  • Use the right tool for the right job. Fahrenheit helps plan your day, with weather or pool temperatures or whatever. Celsius is for science and engineering. This argument sounds a little like driving a nail with a torque wrench.

    I can ballpark C to F. But pressure is never going to happen. Like what's 30psi? 547000 Pa or something? Who the fuck knows. Or you could use bar, with a scale of 1 to 5, lol.

  • I didn't even think I was being hostile? Does no one really remember thinking "embarasada" meant embarrassed in Spanish class?

    But now that I've checked back in with this thread and gotten a honestly pretty unexpected hostile reaction, yeah, let's go with that then.

  • Reply guy? Do you have any clue what that even means? Put the Internet away before you hurt yourself, kid.

    You're bent out of shape because no one understood your dumb comment. It's kind of sad that you're so easily hurt.

  • Florida's MAGA magnetism is a net positive for the rest of the country. They're effectively gerrymandering themselves by packing into one voting area. Even if they gain EC votes, other areas of the country will be relatively more Blue and as Florida policies Brownback their quality of life, it'll only help the Dems win votes.

  • Those aren't the stereotypes that comes to mind for the worst Florida has to offer. More like old retired Boomers and upper middle class culture warriors who thought DeSantis' Covid denial was a great idea. But I didn't take a census or anything.
